“No shelters, no bunkers and no safe zones” – I spoke to Oxfam’s Omar Ghraieb by phone from inside Gaza about the ongoing airstrikes and the impact on civilians. Here’s what he told me.

Okay, 🧵of Palestinian stuff to buy and support (we're actually really good at words and music, in general!).

Humanitarian aid without a #ceasefire is like killing people but ensuring they have a full stomach. Useless. We need an immediate ceasefire. No more blood flow of civilian loss. #Gaza

Magyaroknak külön ajánlom - Anwar Hamed: A fájdalom kövei. Rachel Corrie van a borítón, és ha elolvassátok, megértitek, miért.

calling your reps and senators is scary but if it helps, i recorded myself without the pressure and played the recording through the phone. keep it short and keep calling, this is a numbers game. dont let their offices know silence

"Palestine will be free because Palestine frees us." 🍉 There are responsible ways to make announcements about your work in this time, as Vajra Chandrasekera shows. Use the spaces you have to refuse & resist genocide. How can we all connect whatever we do today to Palestinian liberation?

Read Palestinian books! Now and always. Here is my brand new list of 25 of my recommendations, books I loved. Fiction, poetry, anthologies, comics, kidlit... You'll find something just for you. Then go advocate for a ceasefire. bogireadstheworld.com/read-palestini…

This is ridiculous. Why does caring about the safety of innocent Palestinian civilians affect your academic career? And Michael Eisen is an established successful scientist, wtf is going to happen to those of us starting out in our science careers who speak out? This is not okay.

Book bloggers, reviewers, critics! Who would like reviewer copies of my new short story collection POWER TO YIELD AND OTHER STORIES; and/or the latest anthology I edited, ROSALIND'S SIBLINGS? I made a request form! forms.gle/SPSpKQa2TdDLya…

I do notice which folks will repost anything I put up as long as it's focused on how the genocide of Palestinians affects US residents.

Hakeem Jeffries BREAKING: 11 arrested at the office of Dem Whip Katherine Clark begging her to support #CeasefireNOW. As they're led off, they sing: לֹא יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל גוֹי חֶרֶב לֹא יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה. "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore."
