With So Much Of The News Cycle Focused On The Crackdowns On American Universities, I Wanted To Post News

With so much of the news cycle focused on the crackdowns on American universities, I wanted to post news out of Palestine today:

Israel completes the shutdown of local Al Jazeera offices, making it that much more difficult to get out dissenting information:

Bombings continue in Rafah, where 7-month-old Hani Qishta, already orphaned, was killed himself. (I've blurred the image but if you click on source, it's unblurred.)

This is how I learned that Orthodox Christians paint their Easter eggs red, not the pastel I'm used to. The number of Christians in Gaza is tiny and shrinking fast during this genocide.

The person posting this, Hossam Shabat, is one of the last journalists in north Gaza. He's 21 years old and has already see more despair than most people will in a lifetime.

My dear uncle has passed away in agony and pain. I hope he will find peace in death, as he did not find it in his last couple of days. https://t.co/O9xHtEPGR9

All universities in Gaza have been destroyed, and thousands of students and hundreds of professors killed.

Congrats to this family and best wishes to young Haron. He has big shoes to fill.

It has been very very hard for us in the southern Gaza City for the last four days, but this morning had something good for me and for my family.

I had been blessed with a new GRANDSON and we named him Haron —the name of one of my nieces who had been killed along with around 50… pic.twitter.com/7Xg4qckST2

Israel murdered a FIFA football referee, assistant referee, and 3 players from the Palestinian national team, as well as 263 professional footballers in Gaza.

Every sports facility, and all 41 football pitches have been damaged or destroyed by Israel, with the Yarmouk stadium turned into a concentration camp.

What did @FIFAcom do? It cancelled today's meeting regarding a potential ban on Israeli players, enabling Israel to continue its behavior, and rewarding it through participation in the Olympic games.

FIFA's failure to ban Israel makes it complicit in Gaza genocide

FIFA has postponed a decision on banning Israel, shielding them from accountability for war crimes and violations of regulations, writes Ric

The day people use only appropriate tags is the day I will know peace.

I get you want people to read your writing, but the least you could do is use appropriate tags. There is no reason to have Luke Hughes fics in the Elias Pettersson tag.

words cannot express how pissed off i am at the news of trump being invited to the championship game on thursday. so a fascist president can be invited to a game, but players can't wear pride jerseys or any other specialized jerseys during warm ups? it's "keep politics out of sports" until the politics align with your harmful views
