“‘Free Palestine,’ is most similar to ‘Free South Africa,’ both the movement and the chant that arose during the era of apartheid.”

Good analogy. Thank you, Jesse.

***

Note: Jesse Mechanic (yep, that’s his real last name) is an anti-Zionist Jewish writer and Journalist based in New York.
Jesse Mechanic: Netanyahu recently said, "Free Palestine is just today's version of Heil Hitler." It's a ludicrous statement. In reality, "Free Palestine," is most similar to "Free South Africa," both the movement and the chant that arose during the era of apartheid. Free Palestine means free Palestine. It's a call for liberation. It's a call to end the systemic oppression, dispossession, and genocide of the Palestinian people. It has nothing to do with Judaism. If Israel were a Catholic state, rather than a Jewish one, the call would be the same.

I will never look the same way again at anyone who supported this horrific genocide. May you rot in hell.

By Dr Zelana The Ache of Being Awake I think I'm grieving. Not a person. But a framework. A shared sense of decency. Of clarity. Of what's right, and what's way off. Lately, everything feels a little untethered, and I don't think I'm the only one feeling it. This isn't burnout. It's heartbreak without a name. The world feels... off. Truth is slippery. Cruelty wears a mask called "authenticity." And attention? It's currency now spent constantly, without care. We scroll past genocide, then post a selfie. Leaders lie. Suffering becomes content. And somewhere in the chaos... we're expected to just keep functioning. But we weren't built for this kind of detachment. And your body knows it. So maybe what you're feeling isn't stress. Or burnout. Or distraction. Maybe it's grief. Not for a person, but for a moral compass we didn't realize we lost. For the values you thought were universal. For accountability. For the quiet agreements we once shared but can't seem to find anymore. It's not dysfunction. It's your integrity reacting to distortion. No selfcare "hack" can touch this. No cold plunge. No smoothie. No optimized protocol. Because this isn't fatigue. It's a soul-level ache. The kind that comes from seeing too much. Feeling too much. Caring in a world that keeps asking you to numb. You're not broken. You're awake... in a world that keeps trying to sleep through the sirens.

“VDUBs in the Village”, an air-cooled vintage #Volkswagon car show, took place in #Capitola earlier today.

Hella cool seeing so many VWs in one location. Roughly about 100 of them, many customized.

Surreal.

This little dude is 18 today!

He’s one of the greatest joys of my life. If there’s such a thing as “doggy soulmates”, he’s definitely mine. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him.

I love you to the moon and back, @theschoodle! 💜

“All mothers deserve to see their children live long and joyful lives.” —PoderinAction
FROM PALESTINE TO ARIZONA, MOTHERHOOD IS UNDER ATTACK. As Palestinian mothers continue to endure unimaginable loss through genocide, mothers in our communities are torn from their children through deportations and incarceration. Source: @PoderinAction Recent news reports show ICE has deported several mothers with their U.S. citizen children, including three children ages 2, 4, and 7, with one 4-year-old suffering from Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors. At the same time, the administration targeted Palestinian activists, including Mahmoud Khalil, whose child was born while he was in detention. THIS FIRST MOTHER'S DAY WILL COME WHILE HIS FAMILY IS SEPARATED. In Palestine, pregnant women and new mothers are unable to continue breastfeeding due to displacement, conditions, and poor nutrition. OVER 39,000 CHILDREN HAVE LOST ONE OR BOTH PARENTS.

#WorldKufiyaDay #Keffiyeh

I wear my kufiya virtually everywhere I go to show solidarity with the Palestinian people.

May their freedom, and an end to their 76+ years of brutal occupation and unimaginable suffering, come soon.

“Angry Deaf People” released this hilarious and brilliant satire video in response to Gallaudet’s announcement that, after eight months of linguistic research, they’ve come up with a new sign for “Coke.”

“With the world on fire… I wonder… Is this really the best way to spend our time and power?” 👏🏽
