As the war raged on in Gaza, and Israel was launching a new attack on Iran, several hundred Israeli and Palestinian peace activists gathered in Paris to try and revive a seemingly moribund idea: the two-state solution.

First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people.
Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat.
As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

ICE tear gasses, pepper bombs and smoke bombs protesters.
Trump wants to take their masks that protect them from that.
This is Trump trying to make protests no longer happen in America.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: The UK MUST protect ‘Madleen’ 🚨
The ‘Madleen’ is a UK-flagged civilian ship sailing to Gaza with life-saving aid as part of the #FreedomFlotilla. The UK has a legal duty to protect its vessel and the civilians aboard from Israeli interference. ..2/

In Korea people who couldn't attend protests in person would pay restaurants and cafes near protests so that people who were protesting in person that day could eat/drink for free.
The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I've been working on a 🧶 hexi cardigan for like 3 weeks now and today was not a good crochet day the amount of false starts and frogging had me in tears! I'm hesitant to say it's should be smooth going forward cause I've said that several times a day this week and have been wrong every time.

Protesting from bed today in a national day of action against disability benefit cuts by UK government.
The money could be raised by taxing the superrich - they will barely notice it has gone whereas reducing welfare benefits will hurt people needlessly.

Just came across a content creator who makes accessible recipes and I'm on the verge of weeping. Like i lost huge amounts of ability and skill in the kitchen about 6 years ago and have never come across recipes designed specifically with physical limitations in mind, let alone mental.
