The primary reason behind the common American backing Ukraine instead of Palestine is the United States government’s relationship with the offending nation.
If the US interacted with Israel the way it interacts with Russia, there would have been immediate calls to end this genocide as well as stronger humanitarian aid given to the people of Gaza.
Remember to be weary of propaganda when you’re consuming media related to this crisis. The people of Palestine have been calling for help for decades - Israel is committing genocide. And we are doing nothing.
The moment Twitter has to label the tweets of a SITTING PRESIDENT as ‘misleading’ is the moment our country loses every ounce of dignity we may once have had.
Racism absolutely exists, and there are thousands of articles and videos out there that prove it. Before arguing that a minority (especially one you aren’t a part of) doesn’t suffer from discrimination and oppression, do your research and educate yourself. Just because you don’t experience it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Sex workers are just as deserving of respect as anyone else, regardless of their occupation. And they are no more deserving of rape and harassment as anyone else.
Taking part in protests, yet continuing to do/say racist things does not make you an activist, it makes you a douchebag who takes advantage of the horrible injustices faced by minorities in this country for popularity/respect.
Not liking popular things does not make you ‘better’ than everyone else. If you’re a person who says things like ‘I’m not like other people,’ then you aren’t better or worse than them. Popular things are not inherently bad. There are a lot of popular celebrities, trends, songs, clothing styles, etc, that are great and there is absolutely nothing wrong with liking them. ‘Mainstream’ and ‘bad’ are not synonymous, nor are ‘unpopular’ and ‘cool’. Don’t diminish the interests of others just because you yourself do not agree.
Dear Olympic Games Viewer, 🌟🏅🏋️♂️🇵🇸
As you prepare to watch the greatest sporting event in the world, we ask you to take a moment to reflect on the untold stories and dreams that were extinguished before they had a chance to begin. Here in Gaza, where our children live under the weight of pain and suffering, we also dream of a share in hope, education, play, and watching the Olympic Games. 🌍🏅
As the Palestinian Olympic team, consisting of only 8 athletes, competes in these games, we remember with sorrow that 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. These heroes, who were eagerly anticipating their chance to participate or who had retired, like Majed Abu Marahil, the first Palestinian Olympian who passed away due to kidney failure in a refugee camp because of a lack of medical treatment. His simple dream was to live with dignity, but fate did not grant him that. 🕊️😢
Our children are not just numbers on lists of martyrs and casualties. They are living souls with rights to life and dignity, just like any other child in the world. They dream of playing, laughing, and watching the Olympics without fear. These children need your support and attention because they deserve a life filled with hope and opportunities. 🌟
We urge you not to forget our cause amid the celebrations of the Olympic Games. Remember our children who suffer in silence, and know that every support you provide can be a light in their darkness. Let’s use these games as an opportunity to remind ourselves of our shared humanity and the right of every child to hope and live in peace. 🕊️🤝
With heartfelt regards,

Happy International Women’s Day!
As we come together to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history, it’s important to remember the ongoing struggles women across the world are facing.
Today, let’s keep a special focus on all of our sisters of color, queer sisters, trans sisters, Palestinian sisters, working class sisters, disabled sisters, and sisters struggling with reproductive Justice.
We must not forget where we come from, and we must remember who we are working to protect now. I hope you all have a wonderful day - and pass along some kind words to the wonderful women in your lives!
Jokes about rape, racist jokes, sexist jokes, ‘did you just assume my gender’ jokes, jokes about nazi’s, jokes about suicide, jokes about ‘triggers’ are going to upset people. I’m sorry, but it’s true. And if you aren’t comfortable with those types of jokes, say something. If they’re a good person, they’ll stop. If not, leave ‘em. If someone doesn’t like the jokes you’re making, stop. Respect people, please.
If you are a person protesting quarantine, you are the reason that this is going to last another several months. Stop being selfish, and just stay home.
Your looks don’t define who you are. Died hair and piercings don’t make you a punk, pink dresss don’t make you a princess, etc.
