We thought the first days were the worst, then we thought the starvation was the worst, but this bombing is like nothing we've seen. Today alone, Jabalia refugee camp was bombed at least 100 times.

House to house manhunt for black Africans takes toll in Tunisia 🇹🇳.

In the last two weeks a door to door and street collection of any dark skinned persons even those identified as Tunisians are crammed into police vans & deported to the eastern border regions.

The reading is over now, but the recording will stay up at the link if you missed it or want to share with folks you know.

If you watch, if you share, if you play for groups (& I hope you do, if you are moved), make sure to give with liberatory abandon to بلدية غزة - Municipality of Gaza & Gaza Funds

IT IS REALLY BAD IN RAFAH

I ONLY SEE KIDS BEING KILLED!

The main maternity hospital in Rafah has stopped admitting patients.

Do not stop protesting, we need your voices.

Final powerful chant from last evening’s rally for Rafah at the Stanford University encampment/People’s University for Palestine. Chanting “rajaa” or return, to each town - Rafah, Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah & on & on - that is home.

As I am starting my process of labour, I think of all the Gazan mothers who have endured loss, displacement, famine & bombardments. I think in particular of the women who gave birth during the genocide but also buried their newborns in this genocide due to an Israeli attack.

Tell me again that the protests don’t matter.

Olga Fe of FreedomNews.Tv FNTV and Josh Pacheco, Josh Pacheco (They/Them), both credentialed photographers, have been arrested. Notified McCarthy. He went over to them, walked away. Olga has been loaded into a PTV. JP, I don’t know.

My reading is dedicated to raising funds for بلدية غزة - Municipality of Gaza & Gaza Funds
