Terrifying images as Israeli warplanes conduct airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the middle of the night, the 2nd time this week. Gaza is a densely populated civilian area under brutal blockade, still recovering from last year's devastation. #GazaUnderAttack

Shireen Abu Akleh isn’t just an Al Jazeera journalist, she’s also a Palestinian, born in Jerusalem. She was killed by the very forces that occupy and have stolen the homeland she dedicated her life to reporting on. May she rest in peace & may we uplift her legacy.

When will the world and those who stand by Apartheid Israel that continues to murder, torture and commit war crimes finally say: "Enough"? Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by a government that receives unconditional funding by our country with zero accountability.

If a journalist is shot & killed in front of multiple journalists who all say there were no armed Palestinians present, just Israeli forces who fired at them, than that is enough. Enough for journalists & headline writers to not mention “clashes”. Rest in Power Shireen Abu Akleh.

BBC journos- we can’t express opinions on Shireen Abu Akleh, can’t condemn it or call it a killing - not journalism. But we can trample over dead Russian soldiers in our pieces to camera, post on how to make Molotov cocktails to take out Russian tanks, and say we liberated Kabul

“Israeli police wanted to deny Abu Akleh’s family and the public from publicly grieving the national icon and journalistic hero because they didn’t want her funeral to serve as a reminder of the national cause for liberation, dignity and independence.” -Ayman

Today is the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the reason Pride is in June. In 1969, it was illegal to wear clothes that were considered inappropriate for one's sex and when the police raided the Stonewall Inn's gay bar, they started to do a genital check (as was procedure).

Do read this thread, follow Caroline Chen & read her ProPublica series. I have days of desperation considering our polycrisis, looming too large & out of control, especially from a systems perspective. Let this example brighten your day with a glinting little hope.

"On a permanent basis, Israel continues to confiscate land, demolish Palestinian houses, break into homes, meddle with economic activity, prohibit construction and development, isolate Gaza and disconnect it from the rest of the world, and prevent Palestinian freedom of movement"

Yuval Abraham: "It’s extremely dangerous to be in that psychological place when you have one of the strongest militaries in the world, and you have... killed more children in four months than in all conflicts all over the world for the past four years."
