This really is the core of the issue no matter what group you're talking about. Nothing good will ever come from people who watched a genocide and did nothing (or worse, participated in it). We all know this. Yes, you too.

The @lmumuenchen.bsky.social cancels a seminar titled "the Targeting of the Palestinian Academia". They claim that there were "doubts this event's academic standard would be acceptable".

This is outrageous. Yet again, a German university silences Palestinian academics

The Israeli genocide continues as expected: with all infrastructure brutally and intentionally destroyed, Palestinians in Gaza are dying from Israel's continued blockade on aid, Israel's continued land theft, and Israel's continued murdering.

We never acknowledge how masterfully white supremacist billionaires managed to destroy social media as an organizer tool and completely atomized us. Twitter & tiktok had to be sold. Meta already belonged to them and this app here is a poor man's Twitter but coded to prevent educating and organizing

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.
This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

This is very bad. They shouldn't have settled.

This isn't a criticism of the article.

The Biden admin had evidence of this far longer than the final weeks of the Presidency. They just didn't see those sources as legit and/or as human beings, worthy of telling about what was happening to them.

The Biden administration had evidence showing Israeli officials used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, but officials only raised minimal “concerns” as the military operation continued through the final weeks.

24 hours after the Israeli army announced it would reopen the Zikim crossing, it remains closed, with no trucks entering Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports. The shutdown leaves all of northern Gaza without a functioning entry point for humanitarian or commercial supplies, straining daily life for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returning to the area. Zikim is one of seven ground crossings into Gaza, but only two are currently operating — and only a trickle of aid has entered over the past month. Mahmoud says the ground reality directly contradicts claims that conditions are improving; in reality, shortages are worsening, and the few goods available on the market are largely non-essential.
