As a queer Arab, it always a struggle between my queer identity and my Arab identity. That’s why I’ve decided to partner up with the US Center Intelligence Agency!
🚨BREAKING!!!🚨
Queer Palestinians led by No Pride in Genocide and allies block the Pride parade and are met with police for demanding

, and others divest from weapons manufacturers, an end to pinkwashing, and call for a ceasefire and free Palestine!
It’s international women’s day and I’d like to highlight Soha Bechara, a Lebanese communist who attempted to assassinate Lebanese phalangist General Antoine Lahad. She was imprisoned in Khaim prison for 10 years and released in 1998.
I’m incredible disappointed in today’s “Red Line” action in DC. We cannot genuinely be the red line for an administration enabling genocide while not doing any MATERIAL action aside from speeches and a long red banner around the White House (1/?) 🧵
“The military preys on poor Black and brown communities” okay, then go into your community and organize to try and counter that. Create better access for poor and working class students to apply for scholarship instead of relying on the military.
Ever single pro-Palestinian person should read this, ESPECIALLY if you’re not a queer Palestinian. It is a collection of responses from Palestinian and Arab scholars and activist talking about queerness in relationship to Palestinian liberation.
Israel doesn’t care about disabled people. The IOF brutally murdered Eyad Al-Hallaq in May 2020 on his way to school in Jerusalem because his autism made him “look suspicious”.
This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the IDF HQ is lit up in purple in honor of people with disabilities in Israel and around the world.
Don’t buy Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Continue to boycott their products until they cut ALL TIES with operations in occupied Palestine.

How can you see colonized boys and men being killed, murder, injured, and assaulted by colonizers and just shrug it off/not care because they aren’t women/girls?
It’s interesting how the conversation has shifted from “bourgeois women do not AT ALL benefit from patriarchy because they are women” to “you are denying the violence women in the Middle East experience”
We are over 8 months into this genocide and it seemed like all this rally was used for was for campaigning for PSL’s electoral candidate and other orgs to recruit.
My dad noticed I wore my kuffiyeh today and he said “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you are a radical!” And I responded with “even worse, a communist” 😭😭
@Plz_Relax_
No fr!!! Had a guy in my MENA class justify checkpoints in Palestines and used the bombing of Hiroshima of an example of “actions not moral, but justifiable in reality”
For those who’re going to any Palestinian rallies today in Canada:
1) COVER YOUR FACE. The cops are recording these protests.
2) If any cops approach u & ask who the “organizer” is. YOU DONT KNOW. Don’t point to any specific person. Just say “I’m here bc I saw it online”

Hey I’m sure you didn’t mean it this way, but this idea of not being fat as “self-improvement” is fatphobic rhetoric. Healthy bodies come in all shapes and this idea that being skinny=being healthy isn’t true. This skinny yt guy kinda annoys me but he’s not exactly wrong.
It felt very disorganized in terms of structure of different things going on. There were speeches at the plaza but also folks being recruited to hold up a long ass red banner (IN THE SUN AND HEAT BTW) and marching around the White House.
A Gazan Palestinian in Greenesboro North Carolina is asking for donations to help his family safely cross into Egypt! Please share and donate if you can 🇵🇸❤️
Not to mention the marshal were very much policing people a lot in a very unproductive and antagonistic way towards other protestors. Facing the crowd when cops were present WHEN THE THREAT IS RIGHT BEHIND THEM!
These allegations of beheadings, killing babies, and rape are nothing but propaganda against the Palestinian resistance, deeply rooted in a racist colonial narrative of indigenous peoples having a blood thirsty “biological” desire to do such things.
To those that put so much energy into defending veterans for making the decision to assist imperialism, I would ask y’all refocus your energy into protecting your communities from predatory military recruits.
6 years ago, NYC-DSA and
@AOC
shocked the establishment. Since then, her solidarity with working New Yorkers and commitment to socialist principles have separated her from the pack.
We’re proud to once again endorse Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in NY-14!
Radfems realized that their first statement lacked any account for imperialism, capitalism, etc. and shifted to a statement that literally NO ONE was arguing about and that none of us disagree with.
For anyone who hasn’t gotten it through their thick skulls, the issue with Hasan Piker being a millionaire isn’t for exploitation really. It’s because he is a self proclaimed socialist that is a millionaire. I’m sorry, but those this are antithetical to each other.
@flstniya
Lowkey it’s weird for him to be asking for people’s ethnicities… like bro I don’t even know you!? Drop his ratemyprofessor, I’ll give him a bad review 😤
I normally don’t get involved in petty Twitter drama like this, but that tweet is obviously fake and a lot of y’all misgendering her. No is asking you to like every anti-Zionist on this app, but to share a fake tweet and be transphobic??? Like please.
My baba was telling me my teta and the family would travel from Lebanon to Jerusalem to Bethlehem before 1948. That is where she got this rosary made from olive pits from Palestinian olive trees.
What is considered violent WILL ALWAYS be dictated those in power. Palestinian just stepping foot on their land is considered violent. Stop fucking pretending that liberation is a peaceful act.
Israel and Zionist will say the demolition of Salhiya family’s house is an “eviction” and was “court ordered” to obscure the fact this what they are doing is violent ethnic cleansing. The legalization of ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine.

I recommend reading her biography “Resistance: My Life for Lebanon” as she described her life growing up in Lebanon, the events that led her to her assassination attempt, and her time in Khaim.
