While it's still May Day, here is the 2nd edition of my newsletter. It has a lot of content - too much to summarize - but over half of it is on the Earth Day theme: climate, environment, wildlife. A good entry point if you don't know much about my work: equitableeducation.beehiiv.c…

There is no internet. No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage. I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.” Not because anyone is listening, but because to die unheard is the final death. Gaza is silent now. Not with peace, but with obliteration. Not a silence of stillness, but of smothering. They severed the last cable. No messages leave. No images enter. Even grief has been forbidden. I passed the corpses of buildings, of homes, of men, some breathing, some not. All of them erased by the same hand that erased our voices. This is not a siege of bombs alone. It is a siege of memory: a war against our ability to say, “We were here.” The bombing never stopped, especially in Jabalia. They shell the streets where children beg for food. They shell the lines where mothers wait for flour. They shell hunger itself. No food. No water. No exit. And those who try, those who reach for aid, are struck down. People die here, and no one knows. Not because the killing paused, but because the killing of connection succeeded. The internet was our final breath. It was not a luxury; it was the last evidence of our humanity. Now it is gone. And in the dark, they massacre without consequence. I found this faint eSIM signal as a dying man finds a flicker of flame. I stood beneath a broken sky, risking death, not for rescue, but to send this. A single message. A last resistance. If you are reading this, remember: we walked through fire to say it. We were not silent. We were silenced. And when the cables are restored, the truth will bleed through the wires, and the world will know what it chose not to see.

We are being informed that Trump etc are rather quickly taking over the country and installing fascism. If this happens, SIT DOWN and BE PEACEFUL. Fascism surely won't happen if you do that! And you need to expose the people who will stand up as not being part of the crowd. /s

We are proceeding ahead as planned. Despite around 170 people facing delays and deportation, we are still thousands here - organized and ready to march to Gaza to end the siege and blockade.

Do not allow 'Israel' to entirely isolate the Gaza Strip & its people. Do your part now. chuffed.org/project/crips-fo…
Only people who have e-sims have access to the internet across Gaza. It takes you more than an hour to connect, and another hour to post. But why did Israel bomb the main internet fiber route? Why is Israel insisting on isolating Gaza from the world? So we are now deprived from food, water, electricity, and internet.

First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people. Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat. As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

You're watching community resistance on the streets of New York right now as workers block ICE deportation vehicles in Manhattan. Direct action gets the goods comrades. If we want liberty, we'll find it on the streets.

"we estimate that the current [as of Sept. 2024] death toll is at least 118,908" detailed breakdown in pages 2-9 at static1.squarespace.com/stat… "It is highly likely that the real number of deaths in Gaza from this conflict is far higher than this most conservative estimate."

Replying to @ItsIsraelVsEvil
The best estimates are Israel has killed somewhere maybe between 200,000 - 300,000 people in Gaza since October 2023. I don't think even 1/4 of that are non-civilians.

“Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockade" Remember in January 2024 the International Court of Justice provisional measures to prevent genocide from being committed, ordered Israel to not obstruct in any way the delivery and distribution of aid to people of Gaza
הנחיתי את צה"ל לפעול כדי שמשט השנאה "מדלין" לא יגיע לחופי עזה - ולנקוט בכל אמצעי שיידרש לשם כך. לגרטה האנטישמית ולחבריה דוברי תעמולת חמאס אני אומר בצורה ברורה: כדאי שתעשו אחורה פנה - כי לעזה לא תגיעו. ישראל תפעל נגד כל ניסיון לשבור את הסגר או לסייע לארגוני טרור – בים, באוויר וביבשה.

Microsoft has implemented sanctions on the International Criminal Court? What a world. I don't think Microsoft qualifies under traditional #BDS rules, but there is a movement to reduce people's dependence on #BigTech: "Cutting The Cord" mayfirst.coop/en/post/2025/c… from @mayfirst

If you aren't cynical after that... To punish the ICC for its attempt to go after Israel for Gaza, Trump launched a series of sanctions on the court's officials. @KarimKhanQC, the chief prosecutor, had his personal email deleted by Microsoft and his bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked. If you've ever wondered why the ICC only ever goes against Global South countries or individuals, you have your answer... Because when they don't, they quite literally have their personal lives destroyed. Src: apnews.com/article/icc-trump…

More sanctions by the USA against the International Criminal Court, targeting four specific judges The fact that this will lead companies like Microsoft (and maybe even some countries) to target the judges, is a fact of what 'laws' actually rule the world icc-cpi.int/news/internation…

Ottawa air quality problems from the wildfire smoke is expected to peak at 5pm today. **You can wear a mask, and reduce any intense physical activity, if you are health-conscious.** #ottnews #ottcity
Ottawa's first wildfire smoke day is today. Wearing a N95/KN95 mask helps protect from breathing in wildfire smoke particulates - just like it helps protect from breathing in virus particulates. There are also gases ('VOC's) in wildfire smoke that those masks don't protect from

Well, it peaked later than 5pm Wednesday. I'll repeat: wearing an N/KN95 mask can help a lot for wildfire smoke particles. But, it can't help the very young, whose lungs it hurts disproportionately - and parents walking their babies around seemed mostly unaware of this. #ottnews

It's not like running from a bear, where only the slowest person is in trouble. But also, it's not like running from Israeli bombs, where there isn't any safe place to eventually get to.

Blue-check paid-popular opinions: 'Volcanoes erupt, so obviously therefore doing things to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are just a scam and are treading on my liberty!'
