In the heart of Madrid, on Gran Vía, thousands of Spaniards stood against injustice today, halting the Vuelta a España race in protest of Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza. They placed barriers, set off smoke, and faced the police to defend humanity. The race was stopped 58 km from the finish line and the award ceremony canceled—but their message was heard. 💔🇵🇸

Thank you, Spain. Thank you to everyone who stood with Gaza and raised their voice for justice. If I weren’t Palestinian, I would have wished to be Spanish today 🇪🇸❤️.

What’s happening in northern Gaza right now is beyond horrifying.
Families are fleeing south with nothing—no shelter, no food, no safety.
They’re sleeping on sidewalks, on the streets, under the sun and under bombs.
Children are dying. Mothers are holding their lifeless babies in their arms.
The roads are full of people running for their lives, exhausted, terrified, and forgotten.
Gaza is dying. And the world is watching.
We are not numbers. We are human beings, being wiped out silently.

We feel trapped

Things are getting worse very fast in Gaza City.

We've been looking for a place to stay in the south of the Gaza Strip for more than 10 days but we found nothing.

Now we stand motionless and death is around us every minute.

I don’t know how this will end.

Gaza is burning under relentless attacks. Buildings are being reduced to rubble. Thousands are running for their lives into the unknown, streets overflowing with people with no shelter, no safety, nowhere to hide. Over 20 buildings have been destroyed since morning, and the bombing continues. The healthcare system is collapsing; the wounded are bleeding to death, and children are having their arms and legs amputated due to a lack of antibiotics.

Every day in Gaza is a fight for survival. In Al-Shati refugee camp, my family and I wake up to the sounds of bombings. We eat what little we can find — mostly canned food — and live in constant fear. There is no safe place, no comfort, only trying to survive another day.

Your support can make the difference between life and death. 💔

Sadly, I contacted a truck to move us to the south, and just transporting our belongings costs 2,000 shekels (around $1,000). On top of that, we need more than $2,000 to buy tents for four families, and about $500 to build a shared bathroom in the camp.
Prices here are unbearably high. If we can't raise this money, we will not be able to evacuate to the south and will remain trapped by the occupation’s tanks.

This year’s Emmy Awards ceremony became an unprecedented platform for condemning the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, as several actors used speeches and symbolic gestures to voice solidarity with the Palestinian people.

While accepting the award for best supporting actress in a comedy for Hacks, Hannah Einbinder delivered a pointed conclusion to her speech.

The Vuelta a España ended in early on Sunday. Organizers canceled the final stage in Madrid after mass anti-genocide and pro-Palestine protests targeted the participation of Israel Premier Tech.

Thousands of demonstrators filled central Madrid, chanting against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Some protesters broke through security fences and blocked the race route.

@QasimRashid thanks for spotlighting this!
As a Dutch citizen, I’m encouraged to see a major newspaper ifinally stepping up & exposing the atrocities. It’s not happening enough though nor are most outlets following suit yet.

This is Mira. She’s 4 years old.

A new investigation on Israel & Gaza by Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant cites 15 international doctors who report at least 114 Palestinian children with single gunshot wounds to head/chest. Forensic experts attest these consistent with aimed fire.

Intent is necessary to prove genocide. Killing children intentionally is a factor of genocide. Israel is committing genocide. I'm publishing a detailed piece on this soon. Subscribe. No paywall: https://www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

A #rustlang Cargo workspace trick that I find makes my projects a tiny bit easier:

If you have a workspace with unpublished libraries (e.g. as part of a larger application), and you use "path" dependencies (i.e. `mylib = { path = "../mylib" }`:

You can instead place that in your workspace Cargo.toml:

[workspace.dependencies]
mylib.path = "./mylib"

and then use it from crates in the workspace just like any other workspace dependency.

The reason this is nice is that you can move the crate directories around and only have to fix it one time, instead of once for each crate. If you move `mylib`, you only need to change the path in the workspace Cargo.toml. If you move other crates that were consumers of `mylib`, everything still works with no changes at all!

As the person that founded the most high profile Black instance in the fedi and still develops safety tools for this environment, there is still a lot of resistance in the fedi in accepting how massively it failed Black and Brown internet folks.

I don’t mind the technical discussions between ATProtocol and Activity Pub because they both have stuff to learn from each other, but the fedi damaged reputation isn’t due to technical concerns.

The fedi has a *terrible* reputation to the point people are choosing a corporate option they know is bad over a free one.

Folks really need to think about what that means.

I regularly talk to folks who left the fedi and they *consistently* say the bigoted harassment they faced on the fedi is the *worst they’ve experienced* online. These aren’t people that are unfamiliar with how digital communities work. These are veteran digital citizens that are accustomed to bad faith engagement on the web.

Fortunately, the rise of Blacksky and other independent installs are rendering Bluesky irrelevant as it continues to enshitify, but the fedi needs to accept its utter failure in regards to safety and moderation is a central reason why we are talking about Bluesky at all.

I do believe it’s possible for the fedi to still be a major player in social media.

But it has to be real about why many people believe Bluesky is the lesser evil.
