@trumpet Hey folks, do you know if Lolo’s account (@lolorenad) has been limited in some way?

@joynewacc cannot seem to follow her form mastodon.social. We’re trying to get in touch with her to see if we can verify her for Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org).

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Several events under British rule have been described as genocides:

The genocide and mass killings of Indigenous Australians during colonization, including the Black War in Tasmania and frontier wars across Australia.

The decline and displacement of Māori in New Zealand due to British colonization.

The Great Famine in Ireland (1845-1852)

The suppression of the Mau Mau rebellion (1952–1960) in Kenya involving mass detention and torture.

No wonder Lammy kept his mouth shut

The mural depicts a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking a protester holding a bloodied placard with a large gavel. People in the street remove the coverings to reveal the artwork, which appeared shortly after the mass arrest of nearly 900 pro-Palestine activists in the city.

Starmer has lost 44% of the Labour vote since the election, largely to the left, and is likely to lose more to Your Party.

There is so little enthusiasm for Starmer, who is one of the least popular leaders in the world (-47 points) that Labour voters are also likely to just stay home.

This is not the fault of voters or the left. This is entirely the fault of the Labour right, their neoliberalism, austerity, authoritarianism, trans-hate and weakness over Israel.

…
On Tuesday, six more Palestinians died from hunger, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death in Gaza to 399.

“I say to the residents of Gaza, take this opportunity and listen to me carefully: you have been warned – get out of there!” the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said.
…
Despite the campaign to displace the city’s residents, only a small proportion – about 50,000 people – of its 1 million residents have left.
…
The UN has said that it can cost more than $1,000 to move to southern Gaza, an unimaginable price tag for most of Gaza’s residents. Southern Gaza is already packed with people who have already been displaced several times before.”

This is the message I got from Nadeen this morning.

They need ~$1,000 to be able to move.

Israel has ordered the full evacuation of Gaza before they continue slaughtering people. Nadeen and her family of six need your help to escape being murdered in the coming hours.

Hey folks. I migrated over here from bluesky to support @joynewacc .

I’m a 30-something writer in the US, supporting Palestinian students like Joy through the Scholarships for Ghazza Initiative led by genocide survivor Ahmed Issa.

I generally don’t post a lot on social media apart from amplifying Palestinian stories. I’m here to answer questions if anyone wants to pitch in with mentoring students or help Joy in particular. I made this flyer to help folks think about how they might plug in.
