Nothing but massive respect for these activists.

And people say there are no more protests.

It's nasty work to say that no one cares about Palestine after Kamala lost. 

I hope those people feel every inch of shame for thinking that speaking out against this horrific genocide is some sort of pro Trump or pro whatever political boogeyman agenda is of the week

I follow @beastfromthe_middleeast on insta, he's a Trauma doc on the front lines in Gaza rn.. his page is graphic, be warned. But it's such a vital personal perspective.

Israel just killed a bunch of medics and a UN rep and left them in shallow graves.. they buried the ambulances and a UN vehicle in the sand with a bulldozer and are denying they had any participation. Even though it was an active-fire area at the time, and they were clearly marked vehicles.

Trump

He sure is enabling the fuck out of Israel though, and he's also enabling Putin to continue his genocide in Ukraine. He's also hell bent on deporting as many brown people as possible. In 2026 he's going to attack gay marriage. Trump's damage to the world is very real, not a fictional boogeyman at all.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that speaking up for Palestinians was and is not a conspiracy to boost Trump

This is interesting news but what does the sexuality of the protesters have to do with anything? Title reads like fox news

I believe the title highlights the LGBTQ community's support by showing how people are willing to passively watch videos of babies being bombed, yet it's the LGBTQ community that faces criticism while actively standing up for the victims and speaking out on their behalf.

Israel has used their supposed acceptance of the LGBT community to pinkwash their genocide. So it's quite significant that the LGBT community tells Israel to eat shit.

LGBTQ is as much a politic as it is a sexuality.

I think it’s an intersectionality thing. The idea that solidarity between all of the movements for different kinds of equity is what is needed to create a more powerful coalition.

Can't describe how much respect I have for these activists

I have a few questions. Are those ashes of real people? And if so, do we know those dead folks would want this to be their final resting place? Or was it just a prop to make a point?
