I was getting a procedure at a prenatal appt today, and I asked the doctor if it was going to hurt. She said “it won’t hurt the baby,” which I do think is a relatively good metaphor for how society views mothers

Football hooligans get a greater outpouring of support from world leaders than these dead women and children…

Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says bbc.in/4fH3RfP

Politics is about choices - and the government is choosing to inflict pain and poverty across the country.

Rajoub was today arrested by the IDF. had his passport seized, and brought to a military interrogation center upon his return to the West Bank from Paris. His crime seems to be his insistence that Israel be barred from the Olympics. This response by Israel kinda proves his point.

Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestine Olympic Committee, is using sports to show the world how Israeli occupation has warped even something as commonplace as organized athletics, writes @EdgeofSports and @JulesBoykoff bit.ly/46M7EFg

Despite overwhelming evidence of Israeli war crimes, the UK government continues to export weapons to Israel. End this complicity. Immediately suspend all arms sales.

Newborn twins in Gaza were killed with their mother and grandmother as their father went to collect birth certificates earlier today. According to local media, the family had been displaced from northern Gaza and had sheltered further south. trib.al/FMWwdUq

If you think it’s a coincidence that the BBC uses passive voice when Palestinians are the victim, check their own “grammar reference”. It’s to downplay the agent’s role (Israel) & focus solely on the action itself They’re interested in sensationalism only without truth or change

Read this sentence, then read it again. Israel has shown it’s capable of precision strikes for assassinations, but when targeting a school they know is full of civilians the weapons used are so powerful that not a single body is left intact. Children’s bodies torn to shreds.

Not a 'single full body' was found after an Israeli strike on Gaza's al-Tabin School, highlighting the severity of the attack, according to Civil Defence. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/x9tkr3

The time has long passed when the governments of the world should have acted. Israel now acts as if it can do no wrong. This genocide needs to end immediately. #StopTheGenocideInPalestine #CeasefireNowPermanently #StopArmingIsrael 🇵🇸

“The limbs and blood were around us, the bodies were cut up on top of each other. Tell me what words and phrases can help any journalist describe this horrific picture. When I told you on air that it was an “indescribable scene,” I was truly helpless in front of this scene. How…

In the aftermath of the violent riots earlier this week, @AuDHD_SLT and I took the opportunity to reflect on the racism, anti-Muslim hate/Islamophobia and Xenophobia we witnessed, producing this 4-part resource. (A thread 1/11🧵)

The political and media class is complicit in this racist, Islamophobic violence. They stoke division because they don’t want us to remember this truth: the enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy. Me for the @guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"During that interview, it felt like I was being interrogated as a young Muslim woman of color." On 'Mehdi Unfiltered', @zarahsultana MP responds to @GMB hosts @edballs & @kategarraway, & also calls out the Mail & @elonmusk over the UK riots. Full show: zeteo.com/p/the-fish-rot…

Please note: the civil war has been cancelled owing to a massive display of human decency on one side and the other side not showing up.


We shouldn't let politicians distract and silence us. We have a Labour government in the UK now but nothing has changed. Everyone around the world needs to keep pushing for a permanent ceasefire. 🇵🇸 #Cease_fire_In_Gaza_Now #StopTheGenocideInPalestine #StopArmingIsrael

From Aaron Bushnell To “I’m Speaking” In Five Months I can’t really find the words to express how depressing it is to watch the life get sucked out of the anti-genocide movement in the United States because one of the candidates running for president this year happens to come…

A 2021 post now even more pertinent in 2024. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

You might think this isn’t a speech and language therapy matter. It is - our clients and therapists are impacted by the emotional images seen on social media every day. From the stories of friends and families suffering and from feeling helpless miles away. #FreePalaestine
