Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children killed in Gaza

Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the genocide's many indirect victims

www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
A chart titled “More than 973 infants under a year old have been killed.” Each bar is composed of small red circles, with each circle representing one child. The chart says over 973 infants under one year old, 1,007 five-year-olds, 934 ten-year-olds, and 1,255 sixteen-year-olds killed. Source: The Guardian, based on Gaza’s Ministry of Health data.

Statement from parents of the 43 disappeared from Ayotzinapa:

"The parents of the 43 are convinced that sooner or later we will break down the wall of impunity & injustice. The truth will come to light & justice will be done for our missing children."

The back of a protester in dressed in black is in the foreground. In the background is a wall of riot police holding up their shields. A protester walks by a metal shutter on the street that is spray painted in Spanish with the words, "Mom, if I don't return, the government has me." Young people wearing blue and red tshirts raise their left fists during a protest for Ayotzinapa. Parents of the disappeared from Ayotzinapa stand in front of the antimonument to their children wearing raincoats and holding portraits of their children.

Eight Mexican soldiers in formal dress carry a large Mexican flag during Independence Day celebrations. Behind them is the Roundabout of the Disappeared, where hundreds of photos and names of the disappeared have be wheatpasted onto the metal barriers.

So much anger. So much despair. No words left.

Screenshot from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification website announcing famine in Gaza. The headline in blue reads: GAZA STRIP: Famine confirmed in Gaza Governorate, projected to expand As of 15 August 2025, Famine (IPC Phase 5)—with reasonable evidence—is confirmed in the Gaza Governorate. After 22 months of relentless conflict, over half a million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions characterised by starvation, destitution and death. Another 1.07 million people (54 percent) are in Emergency (IPC Phase 4), and 396,000 of people (20 percent) are in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Between mid-August and the end of September 2025, conditions are expected to further worsen with Famine projected to expand to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis. Nearly a third of the population (641,000 people) are expected to face catastrophic conditions (IPC Phase 5), while those in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) will likely rise to 1.14 million (58 percent). Acute malnutrition is projected to continue worsening rapidly. Through June 2026, at least 132,000 children under five are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition—double the IPC estimates from May 2025. This includes over 41,000 severe cases of children at heightened risk of death. Nearly 55,500 malnourished pregnant and breastfeeding women will also require urgent nutrition response. Despite limited data, conditions in North Gaza Governorate are estimated to be as severe—or worse—than in Gaza Governorate.

¿Cómo van a conmemorar los nueve años desde el asesinato de Chava por parte del Estado y omitir que era un anarquista comprometido? En su homenaje, MAIZ está borrando y manchando el legado de nuestro compa asesinado. Incluso en la muerte, temen a lxs anarquistas.

Immigration agent fires shots at vehicle with people inside in San Bernardino operation

"A man contacted the dispatch center, saying that masked men had tried to pull him over, broke his car window and shot at him."

www.latimes.com/california/s...
Text from a statement by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice in black font on a tan background. At the bottom is a black and white photo of police and a police deployed with people confronting them. The statement reads: BORDER PATROL FIRES ON CIVILIAN VEHICLE, STAGES WARRANTLESS OPERATION At approximately 8:40am, immigration agents stopped a vehicle, broke the driver and passenger windows, and fired three times while people were inside. The individual returned home after it became clear agents had no warrant. In fear, the family called SBPD for help. Instead of intervening, SBPD did little to assist. By 9:30am, armed ICE and HSI agents, joined by SBPD, surrounded the home. Despite never presenting a warrant, they remained until 3:45pm, pressuring the individual to come outside. During the incident, two community members were detained using unnecessary force, including one for speaking out. This was a clear abuse of power. Firing at civilians, harassing families without cause, and targeting community voices must stop. We demand full accountability and transparency from SBPD and DHS. We thank all who showed up to support the family. Because of that collective pressure, ICE left. This is not an isolated incident it is part of a larger, unacceptable pattern.

At the bottom right, a smaller section lists “3 Lebanese” journalists and “2 Israelis” journalists.

Me encanta esta foto de José Revueltas. Del texto "José Revueltas: Los muros de la utopía" por Álvaro Ruíz Abreu.

"Fue un gran pedagogo: explicaba apasionado sus ideas y contagiaba, cómo no. En el fondo, su mayor ambición tal vez hubiera sido ser anarquista o predicador."

- Ignacio Retes
Una foto en blanco y negro de José Revueltas a los 61 años, con el pelo largo peinado hacia atrás, la frente alta, una perilla blanca y negra, con camisa abotonada, sonriendo a lo que tiene en las manos, una calavera de sí mismo.

From Abya Yala to Palestine, settler colonialism is genocide by another name.

How can there be peace with genocide? How can there be peace with settler society?

"It is the most exquisite manifesto: destroy what destroys us." - Klee Benally
"Anti-settler society means amorphous unrelenting social war. It embodies all that settler respectability abhors. It is Fanon's earthly wretches embracing the terror their existence brings to settler rationality. Dysfunction, unyielding chaos, failing into itself to destroy what destroys us. This is cognitive dissonance manifesting against utopic destinies built upon genocide, ecocide, mass theft, enslavement, and forced assimilation."

What to make of this? I don't have any profound conclusions, nor am I looking to condemn, but rather to offer an observation. I have several thoughts on the Zapatista trajectory and its manifestation in the current moment, but those are too lengthy to get into here. What do you think?
Zapatistas wearing masks and holding signs and candles line a road before dawn in Chiapas. One nearest the camera holds a candle and a white sign with red text that in Spanish reads, "The justice we need will come from below, to the left, and in common."
