BREAKING: Israel is heavily bombing Gaza right now, once again violating the ceasefire. Israel is deliberately attacking Palestinians and relentlessly targeting them after 17+ months of genocide, mass killings, and forced starvation.

Genocide on top of genocide on top of genocide on top of genocide

Horrified that the brief respite of the ceasefire appears to be over—already seeing reports of many injured & killed, including children.

This after weeks of Israel blocking aid into Gaza.

This after months of escalating violence and displacement in the West Bank.

The nightmare continues.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp.

The world is watching.

History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

Absolutely horrific. And it is likely only the beginning. The Israeli government is determined to let this go on as long as possible, no doubt with the hopes of a full annexation.

BREAKING: Israel has resumed bombing Gaza, at least 30 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s attacks.

Middle right is Sa'ed Al-Err, his adult son, roughly 30. Both have kind eyes, short cropped hair, and short beards. The dog, bottom left, is a medium sized breed with big, wet eyes and floppy ears.

The obvious issue here is that 92 completely violates what is promised in 93. This is not what bodily autonomy looks like. This specifically promises bodily autonomy for everyone *except* transgender youth. This is blatant discrimination right there, out in the open, as part of their platform.

A screenshot from Canada's Federal Conservative platform: "92. Protecting Children’s Mental and Physical Health A Conservative government will protect children by prohibiting life altering medicinal or surgical interventions on minors under 18 to treat gender confusion or dysphoria, and encourage positive mental and physical health support for all Canadians suffering from gender dysphoria and related mental health challenges. 93. A National Uniform Right to Informed Consent and Bodily Autonomy Every Canadian is entitled to informed consent and bodily autonomy. Health professionals must disclose an uncensored risk benefit analysis for any treatment (including vaccines) while protecting patient privacy. No constitutional right shall be restricted for refusing medical treatments or disclosure. Our country shall promote a scientific, unprejudiced, balanced, open discourse."

I'm sharing this screenshot from Canada's federal Conservative platform again (i.e., Poilievre's party) again because I don't think most cis Canadians fully understand how dangerous these people are to Two-Spirit and transgender people who are subject to Canadian policy. 🧵#cdnpoli #Canada #Poilievre

“Many celebrities of the time, including Lorraine Hansberry, Langston Hughes, and Paul Robeson, were targeted by the FBI for their outspoken Marxist views. The government wanted to force them out of public life and erase their influence.”

BREAKING: Four Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air attack on the Zeitoun neighbourhood in the southern part of Gaza City.

Palestinians in Gaza are facing severe thirst, disease, and starvation after the Israeli government abruptly cut off all electricity to Gaza two days ago. The Israeli military has not allowed any humanitarian aid into Gaza for 9 days.

🕊 This week I'm thinking about peace, the justice needed to get us there, and the fools who believe peace can ever come through a tighter fist.

Favourite face I've drawn today...

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and the UK say they support the Arab-backed plan for the rebuilding of Gaza that would cost $53bn and avoid forcibly displacing Palestinians from the enclave.
