From Arundhati Roy, this is the most extraordinary speech thewire.in/rights/palesti…

Israel has placed a total siege on north Gaza, its blockade visible from space, and tonight, is relentlessly bombing everyone and everything. The call for an immediate arms embargo is nothing short of a call to prevent the mass murder of 1 million people who remain in the north.

There is a near total US media blackout of Israel’s killing in northern Gaza. You would never know that Jabalia has been turned into an extermination camp.

After watching my people set on fire, someone reaching his hand in the midst of the flames, what is the world waiting for? This world is setting itself on fire and we know who is adding more fuel! End this now! This is a crime (g e no ci de) against not only the Palestinian

MY PEOPLE!

For your information, my people in north Gaza are buried without shrouds. Thank you for your weapons.

"A charred soul, like invisible ink, once burned, becomes visible in lieu of the body it once illuminated. Also, the charred soul soots the killer’s soul."

I don’t understand what happened today at Harvard Bookstore, but the room and shelving spaces were filled with people. I even saw some people watching outside from behind the glass. The books sold out and people asked me to sign on a piece of paper or on a notebook they had.

Awful awful! You don’t have to follow our news. I’m bringing this to you. Several massacres simultaneously in Beit Lahia, my dear city. My people are killed. My city is killed!!! Please stop this. Whoever you are. Where is your power!!! This is killing me.

What a difficult day …is

Great to see that politicians who have openly opposed genocide funded and armed by the US, have been re-elected in the US. Supporting an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel is politically favourable.

The stupid, evil, soulless country got the stupid, evil, soulless representation it deserves and WANTED. Not shocked, not sick, just disgusted and braced.

Let's start with the basics: This is a terrifying moment for a great many people, esp those whose rights are directly in the line of fire. At the same time, for a great many more people, the worst possible violence and tragedy was already happening under a Dem administration 1/5

Some immediate steps I believe that all trans people should take: - Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and this will likely be shut down under Trump. - Update every ID your state allows you to. - Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption

queer joy, sure, sure, but also queer ennui, queer failure, queer spite, queer rage, queer awkwardness, queer sleepiness, queer hate, queer disobedience, queer use of massage oils, queer punctuation,

nothing has made me wish i believed in hell more than the actions of the genocide collaborators, israel and the united states
