he's a fucking legend
But for real you shouldn’t be forming all of your opinions around scientific research, studies and evidence. We have used real science to justify committing genocide. We’ve used real science to justify performing surgery on babies and women (especially black women) without anaesthesia. We’ve used real science to justify killing the disabled. We’ve used real science to justify opposing abortions. We’ve used real science to justify harming trans people.
Science is not free from the biases and prejudices of society. In fact is a perfect tool to justify those exact biases and prejudices. Stop taking everything labelled as science as gospel.
Today, May 15th 2022, is the 74th Nakba Day. It is a day for rememberance, mourning, and resistance for Palestinians
Non Palestinians, please use this day to be loud about your solidarity with us. Today more than other days please use your platforms and your voices to amplify the voices of Palestinians and condemn Israel on every platform you can... Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
Seek out Palestinian journalists and activists who are talking about Israel's crimes. People like Mohammed El Kurd and Muna El Kurd, Eye On Palestine, Abier Khatib, Mariam Barghouti...
Supporting Palestinian journalists and activists is especially vital in the wake of Shireen Abu Akleh's assassination at the hands of the occupation forces just days earlier.
Please check out the BDS website for resources. There are webinars and online rallies and ways you can protest online from your own home. And try to learn more about the different kinds and of boycotts you can take part in, as well as how and why these boycotts are important. The site also has lists of things you can easily boycott including action plans.

DecolonizePalestine is another amazing resource. If you don't know much about the crisis in Palestine, please educate yourself so you can educate others.
If you're able to protest in person, this post wonderfully put together by @soullsword also has information on Nakba Day protests all around the world.
And donate if you can! To organisations like:
Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), which provides emergency medical services for Palestinian children.
United Palestine Appeal (UPA) - an organization supporting Palestinian socio-economic development
If any Palestinians have anything to add, please feel free 💖🇵🇸

one thing you can start doing from today is extending grace to palestinians you know, speaking up for pro-palestine allies, challenging the repression and islamophobia we are seeing because the information blackout is not incidental. it is central to israeli and american strategy. they are killing palestinians in the dark, but they are also preventing you from humanizing, empathizing and crying for the palestinian lives lost. it is incumbent upon you, as a bystander, to put aside any kind of discomfort you feel and talk about the genocide, center palestinian voices, center palestinian suffering, make it normal and expected for people to condemn the zionist state in daily life instead of being fired, doxxed, jailed or murdered for it. its minimal effort but maximum impact. speak up. speak up. if they're forcing us to watch a genocide, then we'll force them to acknowledge it
literally me the second I heard duel of the fates in the kenobi trailer:
David O'Sullivan has been a London bus driver and tube worker for 30 years. His company has just sacked him for standing up for his colleagues' health and safety rights during the pandemic.
The fatality rate for London bus drivers is almost three times the national average and Britain has been one of the worst-affected countries during the pandemic.
In January, Dave asserted the rights of himself and his colleagues to a safe workplace. This is covered by Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act (1996). When he warned his colleagues about the spread of COVID-19 at the bus garage and informed them of their rights under the Act, he was sacked.
The union colluded with management in the sacking.
Because of serious safety breaches by management, Dave and his colleagues had already written to the company's Managing Director, the London Deputy Mayor for Transport, and Unite the Union officials. They were ignored.
Section 44 gives all employees the right to refuse to work “in circumstances of danger which the employee reasonably believes to be serious and imminent”. Employees can remove themselves until “appropriate steps” are taken “to protect themselves or other persons in danger.”
All British workers have this right.
Dave's claim against Metroline is a test case for the rights of key workers during the pandemic. Please don't let the legal system force key workers into yet more unsafe conditions!
Dave has evidence. He has secured legal advice. What he and London bus drivers need now is your support.

Gaza’s health ministry has updated its death toll since the conflict broke out on October 7, to 9,061, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women.
Please, please do not be desensitized to the numbers. Please don't look away! Palestinians do not even have the privilege look away! Do not stop protesting, do not stop demanding for a ceasefire, do not stop donating esims or money or humanitarian aid, do not stop looking ways for help, do not stop talking about Palestine!
