I'm a librarian who loves poetry, our planet, art, and learning - mostly about philosophy, space, and RPGs. Entirely vexed by politicians, the games they play with people's lives, and with systems that force me to choose between levels of harm. ☮️

Israel has total control of Gaza. Nothing gets into Gaza because of tight Israeli security checks. So why is Israel still bombing Gaza? There are no weapons of significant size to be a threat to Israel. IT'S GENOCIDE. The world sees it but does nothing about it. Harsh words and sanctions don't work.

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

Stop saying “the planet is dying.” It’s not. It’s being deliberately destroyed by corporations and executives who choose short-term profit over life. This isn’t a natural crisis. It’s a greed crisis with names and addresses. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada announced $100 million for Palestine, with no conditions put on Israel. In the past we paid for solar and water projects, only for Israel to destroy them, without any condemnation from Canada. So is Carney just participating in public theatre for appearances?

Do you want Israel to be sanctioned? Not their settlements, some meaningless sanction that can be avoided by changing a sticker. But Israel itself, for Crimes against Humanity. Spread the word if you do.

It's great that states are banning imports from West Bank settlements, but let's not give them too much credit for something they would have done 60 years ago if they actually believed in international law.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

These are some of the politicians who voted for robbing us of our right to boycott Israel. Remember them, shame them, and vote them out. More importantly, pressure your senators so the bill fails in the Senate. #EndZionism #GazaHolocaust #SanctionIsrael #BoycottIsrael

Israel has destroyed over 800,000 Palestinian olives trees. The olive tree is the heart of the Palestinians and like all greedy Western colonists they must destroy the soul of the indigenous people.. destroy their children, destroy their land, destroy their memories, erase everything.

The Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel, Rabbi David Yosef, said that the Palestinian people do not exist, do not have any rights, that it is good that Gaza was destroyed & that Gaza & the West Bank will be Jewish soon. He obviously fully supports the GENOCIDE in Gaza. What about the HOLOCAUST?

What I hate most about 9/11: 1. People died. 2. US used 9/11 as a justification to hate on Muslims. 3. The US used 9/11 as a justification for more war mongering & imperialism in Middle East. 4. The majority of the US stops at number one & never considers the rest of this list.

Make no mistake: it is NEVER too late to join the Palestinian cause. Don't let anyone shame you for not being with us since the beginning. Dust yourself off and focus on what you need to do: talk about Palestine and #BoycottIsrael. Welcome home. #EndZionism #SanctionIsrael #GazaHolocaust

Stop saying the planet is dying like it's old age. It's being killed. Systematically. Profitably. By men in suits who know exactly what they're doing.
