They are not just numbers that are meant to shock you when you hear the large amount of them. They are human beings with lives and they deserve to be remembered as such. Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oun.

Abu Shadi, a highly popular kunafa seller in #Gaza, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike. #StopArmingIsrael #GazaGenocide — via Palestine Info Center @/palinfoen
his name is Masoud al-Qutati. he was known among Gazans as "the father of the poor", because he would sell a 5-shekel worth kunafa plate for just 1 or 2 shekels to those in need, and at times, he'd generously offer it for free. الله يرحمك — Retweet by @/HayaShammala

really the best form of pro-palestine protest in the US is blocking weapons shipments to israel. iirc this happened recently but I think the ship is so far delayed

the US government is not changing its foreign policy based on public opinion, at most biden has tried to do damage control by politely requesting israel be less obvious about the war crimes, but explicitly still supports the genocide.

Currently the shipment was blocked in Oakland California and will attempt to be unloaded today in Tacoma, Washington I can pretty much guarantee it'll have to give up on Tacoma too because this isn't the first time the PNW has said "fuck this and fuck you" to Israeli weapons shipments It took a couple weeks extra in 2021 for the merchant ship the Zim to find a port to finally offload its deadly shipment Port blockades are extremely effective direct action and cost the companies involved millions, sometimes millions per hour In 2021 they had to go to some fairly remote port because people were so determined to show up wherever that merchant of death did and refute it Fascists turned out at almost every port attempting attacks, ranging from fist fights to vehicular assaults to attempted mass shootings and the expected police repression

It's dangerous and extremely vital work to hold the line whenever and wherever we can to keep the materiel necessary for war and genocide from reaching its intended destinations.

Urgent update: the boat headed to Tacoma is supposed to reach the port very early in the morning

Follow @falastinyat on Instagram for updates

Early could mean EARLY early like 1 or 2 am when most people are sleeping, the port of tacoma runs all hours of the night

Be alert stay ready to mobilize

when you are most definitely not evil

The last one is genuinely insightful on how denialist claims tend to resemble each other. "Oh, Armenians weren't targeted because they were Armenians, they were targeted because they wanted independence from the Ottoman Empire (because they had been historically oppressed by Turkish people). You can't say they were targeted for being Armenian". Now what does that remind you?

Unironically I think we need just a more powerful DS again. Dual screens fuck. The amount of creativity and interactivity and cool UI that went into DS games is literally unmatched and like those things were tough as fuck too. Please hear my wish. I get that the switch is technically handheld and thus portable but also no it is not that thang is so delicate and lacks the sophistication of just being able to shut it at a moments notice to pause everything without having to hit a pause menu. Does anyone hear me. Hello. Pokémon ranger.
