You Are Not Alone: A Letter to Jews Who Fear Speaking Out About Israel
At times, speaking out against Gaza’s destruction has been lonely—but staying silent in the face of communal denial only deepens the harm.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off , when the rich get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the real power. Use your power. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

I'm so jealous of people that are tuned out. like I'm glad I know what's happening, but like I'm watching the train barreling down the tracks at me, tied up, and the person next to me on the tracks is just, like, enjoying the day because they're facing the other direction.
