Susan Abulhawa, world's bestselling Palestinian author, had her account here banned after a Zionist hate campaign. Please read and RT this thread by her.

"Zionists are pushing a new line of propaganda aimed at breaking Black solidarity with Palestinians." "The narrative goes something like this: The only reason Palestinians are getting attention is because they're not Black (which is not true because Palestinian society is multi-racial). Just look at the millions killed in the DRC. Look at Sudan. Look at Tigray." - Susan Abulhawa

Twitter has locked the account of Susan Abulhawa @sjabulhawa, award-winning Palestinian author whose novels have been translated into 23 languages. Susan Abulhawa is the founder of the nonprofit @Play4Palestine, and a member of @workersworld and @PalFeminist In her 2021 Edward Said Memorial Lecture, "Visualising Israel's Global Arms Hustling," @sjabulhawa offered invaluable insight into Israel’s global arms trade, and how it ties into Israeli settler colonialism and oppression of Palestinians.

Billionaires and monarchies should not exist. Tax them. inequality.org/great-divide/t… The fortune of the British royal family is estimated to be around $28 billion. No one knows the exact figure, because they're exempt from “sunshine” rules. Charles will not pay a penny of inheritance tax, capital gains tax, or income tax.

Super-fit immunologist stopped masking after 4 vaccine doses. Omicron gave him congestive heart failure, which forced him to quit his job.

thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/… “The risk of cardiovascular disease, for example, increased after one infection, but doubled in people who had two infections, and tripled in those who had been infected thrice.”

"Similar risks were found for heart disease, blood clotting problems, brain decline and diabetes."

They were at Treetops Hotel in Kenya's Aberdare National Park. Nine months later, hundreds of freedom fighters would hide from British troops in the forest below. In the next eight years, 1.5 million Kenyans would be incarcerated, starved, tortured, in concentration camps.

At dawn, in Britain's concentration camps in Kenya, imprisoned women would be forced to bury their babies who had died during the night. Babies also died on their mothers' backs during the day, while their mothers were subjected to forced labor under guns and whips.

Twitter has suspended the account of Jewish anti-Zionist attorney and activist @StanleyCohenLaw. So I'm going to tweet a thread of his articles.

Here's the one I quote most often.

Touchy. But then, we parted ideological ways in 2008. Some of us demanded peace with truth and justice for *all* Kenyans. Others chose to claim their ethnic dividend and pursue the rewards of serving dynastic oligarchy.

The Five Stages of Victim-Blaming. Modelled by Salil Tripathi in my DMs, responding to students of late Kathak guru Briju Maharaj going public on his sexual violence.

Stage 1: Deny Stage 2: Disbelieve

It's not that no one saw the signs that Wayne Couzens was a danger to women. I guarantee that many women experienced his misogyny. Patriarchy erased them. I guarantee that many of his fellow cops saw him abuse power many times. Police culture made them look the other way. This is how patriarchy works - by normalizing and un-seeing millions of daily aggressions by men against women. Until they culminate in one act of spectacular violence.

Never forget how many years, how many victims, it took to bring him to trial. The entire music industry knew, and continued to aid and abet him. May this be the beginning of healing for his victims, and the beginning of consequences for every single person who enabled him.

How many victims would have been saved if the music industry had listened to Black feminists any time in the past two decades?

It's not the Texas Taliban, it's the Texas Ku Klux Klan. It's not American Sharia, it's Christian Theocracy. Stop trying to pin Christian U.S. patriarchy, misogyny, and white supremacy onto Empire's bogeymen. It's not even an analogy. The Texas GOP is *literally* the Ku Klux Klan.

I am once again asking you to stop pretending that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 brought anything but death and devastation to Afghan women and children. From the Kandahar massacre to Obama's drone terror. From nightly U.S. military raids on civilians to U.S. troops taking body parts of dead Afghans as trophies. From the obscene profiteering of war contractors to Obama bombing the MSF hospital in Kabul. Empire is unmitigated evil.

During WW2, the US government forced pharmaceutical companies to share recipes for antibiotics. In the worldwide campaign against smallpox, the WHO maintained a register of manufacturing techniques and recipes...to share the technology globally."
theguardian.com/commentisfree/… "In fact, prior to the WTO and the proliferation of trade treaties, countries around the world regularly used “compulsory licensing” to make the pharmaceutical industry allow local manufacturers to produce drugs after paying a licence fee. Patents weren’t always sacrosanct."

"French parliamentarians have voted to ban the wearing of the hijab in public for those under 18, to ban burkinis in public pools, and to ban the wearing of the hijab for those accompanying children on school trips." France has one of the highest rates of femicide in Europe. In 2019, 146 women were killed in France by a partner or ex-partner. But the French government's gender law enforcement priority is - sending police to beaches to forcibly strip Muslim women.

"A French appeals court has overturned the defamation conviction of the woman behind France’s answer to the #MeToo movement, who was sued by the man she accused of sexual harassment."
theguardian.com/world/2021/mar… "In September 2019, Sandra Muller, a French journalist, was ordered to pay €15,000 (£12,775) in damages to TV executive Éric Brion, whom she accused on Twitter of making sexually lewd remarks at a party."

An African woman is becoming the head of the World Trade Organization. The WTO exists to "drive down women’s wages, displace women from their land, privatise public goods to enrich multinational corporations."

Please think about this before you hail the appointment of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as head of the WTO.

This is unconscionable, @poetrymagazine. Fix it.

It wasn't just the federal Capitol in Washington DC that Nazis attacked yesterday. They attacked state Capitols in Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota, Texas, Oregon, and Colorado. They attacked federal buildings in LA.

thedailybeast.com/local-maga-mob… Imagine how many new members Nazi movements recruited yesterday. Both in the U.S. and across the world.

We're still in a pandemic. Today's coup was a mega-super-spreader event. How many Capitol workers did the Nazi militias infect? These are the workers who had to clean up after the Nazis trashed the Capitol.
