Bluesky is enabling genocide by deleting his account constantly, so here is my pinned post for Ahmad. He is a dear friend to me, please share his campaign so his family can survive. 🖤🙏

On December 28, 2024, the IDF kidnapped Dr Hussam Abu Safiya from his post as pediatrician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. He had refused to abandon his patients. He has been held in Israeli prison without charges ever since, tortured, starved, refused family visits.
This is absolutely heartbreaking
Dr. Hossam's lawyers warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, & the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering.
Do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away 💔

The Bluesky team @jay.bsky.team, @aaron.bsky.team, @safety.bsky.app can't even be bothered to answer Pastures about why his account ban was enacted. Genocide enablers! Bring back our friend Pastures!!
No longer content with banning Palestinians trying to survive genocide, @jay.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app and @aaron.bsky.team have now suspended one of our activists for Palestine, Pastures. His account must be reinstated immediately.
Pastures, a lovely Iranian mutual who worked tirelessly to help our Palestinian friends in Gaza on here, has just been suspended by Bluesky, the same day they also suspended the Kurdish women’s research organisation account. @safety.bsky.app @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team hate Brown people.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵
