It's interesting to note already that it wasn't his time in the American South that pushed MLK further left and into criticism of capitalism, but his time spent in poor Black neighborhoods of Chicago (a NORTHERN city!) and after the Watts protests in Los Angeles. Almost like that whole myth of "the north is less racist" has always been a lie, even to one of white America's favorite Black people. 👀

I want to draw your attention to two of the cornerstones of the Gazan fundraising communities, Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 and Mohammed @moayesh1. Not everybody in Gaza has the means to start and maintain their own campaigns, and both of these men have been collecting for their communities (specifically university students) through their grassroots foundations, Isnad and Ihyaa, respectively. Their impact is documented in the links provided.

Now Isnad and Ihyaa are currently suspending their activities due to the catastrophically urgent evacuation, and Mahmoud and Mohamed themselves are exhausted, impoverished, and starving.

They have been doing a lot of work, I would love for us to be able to earn them a measure of rest by highlighting their personal campaigns as they have neglected themselves for the sake of the community.

Help them because they help others, and because nobody deserves this life regardless.

Donate to Mahmoud here and to Mohammed here. Mohammed is the on-ground vetter for @gaza-evacuation-funds, which has vetted Mahmoud here.

Do not waste your tears over fascists. "He was somebody's this, he was somebody's that". Michael Brown was someone's son, and so was Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Emmett Till. Sandra Bland was someone's daughter, and so was Breonna Taylor, while she slept. Sonya Massey, too, was someone's baby girl. Latasha Harlins was someone's baby. Martin Luther King Jr was somebody's son, husband and father, and yet the FBI killed him. Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba. Hind Rajab, someone's baby. Khaled Nabhan, and his granddaughter, soul of his soul. Refaat Alareer. And on and on and on, every martyr, every Black and Palestinian person whose been told over and over again how cheap our blood is, how NOTHING our life is. I do not weep over the death of white supremacist, I fucking cheer. One less of them means a Black or brown child can live another day.

i hate when something violent happens to a right wing politician and every left leaning pundit and politician gets on their soap box about how "violence isn't the answer" as if the right wing ideology doesn't inherently encourage violence.

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.
