Oh, Hind. Hind. She was only six, and her mother was still waiting for her return! My God.

This BABY had to watch five of her family members murdered, one after the other, left alone for hours, crying تعالي خديني over and over, terrified out of her sweet little head. This baby was found dead with the bodies her family and the two paramedics who tried to get her, decomposing. We are living with the fact that this murder was allowed to happen. I will never forget the sound of her voice on that phonecall.

"someone who allows you to rest" is the relationship dynamic of all time

A parent that welcomes you back home after things have fallen apart. A best friend whose voice alone who can make you relax. A spouse who convinces you to stay in bed an extra hour and leave the dishes for later. A stranger who sees you tired and gives up their seat on the train. Augh. The humanity of it

They’re a grassroot organisation that regularly supply Palestinians with fresh food!

any indian person celebrating on 22 january is a hindu nationalist without exception.

Context for non-Indians: a 16th century masjid was demolished in the 90s by a massive group of BJP-aligned rioters due to beliefs that it was built on top of the birthplace of Rama, a Hindu diety. When I say "demolished" I mean that a BJP rally of 150,000 people devolved into a riot and literally attacked the Babri Masjid and destroyed it. The Indian Supreme Court then awarded the land to Hindus to build a temple to Rama on the site based on some kinda argument that there once was a temple there a long time ago. The demolition of the Masjid led to insane riots and intercommunal violence between Hindus and Muslims. Modi has made the construction and consecration of this temple a big political propaganda project for him to maintain support among conservative Hindus. Essentially the message behind this "holiday" is: fuck Muslims, India belongs to Hindus. If you disagree you will be subjected to incredible violence. This is what Modi and the Hindutva fascists are trying to communicate to the Indian populace.

The construction of the temple was the centre of Hindutva fascist revival in the 90s – this is a huge victory. That supreme court argument was incredibly specious abuse of legalism, historical evidence and archaeology. Its not just a holiday today, it's been a weeklong festival where muslims have been subjected to intense police surveillance. One last thing, not one single person has been convicted for the murders that occurred during the riots. This model is expected to be expanded to other mosques in the country. Atleast three mosques are currently being investigated by the court.

You might have recently heard about or seen the video of Israel blowing up a university in Gaza. It's also been reported that before Israel blew it up, it stole thousands of rare artifacts from the university's museum. Israel also reportedly stole a statue of the Canaanite goddess Anat from the Pasha's Palace Museum in Gaza after it destroyed it. This is not the first time and will not be the last. Israel's destruction of Palestinian heritage and history is well-documented and part of a systematic process to erase Palestinian connection to the land.

[Image ID: The same photo repeated nine times. The photo shows a group of people holding up a large cloth sign that reads in all caps: Hate trans people? Kill yourself! The first sentence is in multiple colors and the second is in all black. There appears to be an obscured antifacist symbol with diagonal arrows and under the words are multiple light pink hearts.
