“What a Gazan should do during an Israeli airstrike.” 🎙️Author Mosab Abu Toha reads from his poem written in May 2021, offering haunting instructions for what a Gazan should do during an Israeli airstrike, from turning off the lights and sitting away from windows, to packing a child’s backpack with toys, ID cards, family photos, seeds, soil, and the memory of the last birthday.

The most contemptible people on earth. You can’t hate them enough. Ordinary people must take action against them wherever they go. It comes to this.

RT @susanabulhawa: Israel isn't just murdering people... Israel is death itself.

Israel just carried out around 100 airstrikes in minutes across Lebanon. Over 250 killed. Over 1,000 injured. And that’s just ONE wave. More than 3,500 targets have already been struck. Over a million people displaced. But the news cycle is quiet. Silence doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

"Leadership is not just mirroring the worst emotions." 🎙️In this clip from the Sumud Podcast, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed explains why real change requires more than passion, it requires strategy. He reflects on how to engage people who may not share the same emotional connection to Palestine, and why meeting people where they are can be more effective than confrontation. 🌍 Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, author, and public servant currently running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.

The same people beating the drums for war today are the same types who cheered the Iraq War. That war killed over 1 million Iraqis and burned trillions of dollars and now even its supporters admit it was a disaster. And the people who opposed it? They are remembered as the heroes. Like Brian McGinnis, the Marine who stood up in a Senate hearing to oppose another war and had his arm broken while being dragged out. History follows the same pattern every time. War fever now. Regret later. If you want to be on the right side of history, stand up while the war is being sold, not after the bodies are buried. #BeLikeBrian

Let me give you a direct quote. They will say you this is about security. They will say you this is about deterrence. They will say you this is about preventing a future threat. But watch the pattern. Every escalation is framed as defense, while the scope of force continues to expand. Every action is justified as necessary, while the objective quietly grows larger. And the most honest explanation was already said out loud by Mike Huckabee: “It would be fine if they [Israel] took it all.”

A legally blind Rohingya refugee, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, died of hypothermia after ICE released him alone at night in freezing Buffalo temperatures. He relied on a cane. He did not speak English. This wasn’t just policy. This was a failure of humanity.

If you want to be outrageously successful, you must not allow other people’s rationality to infect your delusion.

This Friday, the last Friday before Ramadan, we prepare. Today’s reminder is simple: Prepare. Strive. Realign. Ramadan is the match. Shaʿbān is our preparation. The battle is within. The heart must realign from ego back to taqwa - God consciousness. I will be giving this khutbah at ECIC today at 2:00 PM. Let’s not let Ramadan arrive before we are ready. Let’s get ready now. 🌙

“If one man can hold you down, two can rape you.” Justin Gaethje Go dead lift some weight, and visualize slamming those mfers in the Epstein files to the ground! Overhauling the system begins with taking care of your health. Don’t let the rapists outwork you. It’s February 2026.

Funny how the people constantly lecturing the world about “values” and “democracy” keep showing up in the Epstein files… And the ones labeled “villains” somehow don’t. Makes you wonder who actually runs the rot.

“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” - Renee Nicole Goode “Fucking bitch.” - ICE Agent Ross (after killing her) One speaks humanity. The other speaks contempt. Be careful which side you choose to stand on. #ReneeNicoleGoode #Humanity #Contempt #StateViolence #Accountability #Justice #WordsMatter

If there was ever a time to stand up to tyranny isn’t this it? A good guy with a gun was killed by a bad guy with a gun a a federal ICE agent. That gun was a constitutional right Someone alert the NRA Where is that NRA energy now?

“They wanted me to stop speaking.” 🎙️ In this clip from the Sumud Podcast, Guy Christensen reflects on expulsion, blacklisting, and the coordinated attempts to break him through fear and isolation. He describes the moment he chose to come back louder instead of disappearing, and the emotional weight of finally being vindicated after months of pressure. What emerges is a portrait of resolve, of refusing to let repression define the limits of speech, organizing, or solidarity. 🌍 Guy Christensen is a student activist, organizer, and influencer whose educational work has reached over 1 billion people since the start of Israel's genocide. Last year, he spearheaded the viral Fast For Gaza challenge which has so far distributed over half a million dollars in aid to Gaza. Guy’s storytelling and advocacy work across social media, grassroots organizing, and national media platforms have earned him a reputation for mobilizing young people and turning outrage into tangible impact. 🔑 In this conversation, we explore -Growing up in conservative Mormon culture and leaving the alt right pipeline -Personal experiences that shaped empathy and political direction -Learning about the Nakba, Gaza, and human rights reporting -Paid propaganda and influencer recruitment efforts -Harassment, doxxing, and coordinated smear campaigns -Expulsion from Ohio State and the legal fight that followed -Independent media, journalism, and digital resistance -Why speaking up matters even when it is risky 🎬 Full episode on sumudpod.com 📲 Follow @dredhasan | @sumudpod | @guychristensen_

AI is trending Efficiency is celebrated But people are starving for something machines cannot give Human connection compassion and accountability That is why the @theawadlawfirm is built on unreasonable hospitality 🤝 #HumanFirst #Trending #HumanTouch

Let’s stop pretending this “Iran revolution” is about human rights. The same U.S. 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 crying concern bombed and killed Iranians last year. Now we’re supposed to believe they suddenly care? Please. This is destabilization, not liberation. We’re not letting the veil be pulled over our eyes 👁️‍🗨️ #ManufacturedRevolution #RegimeChangePlaybook #NoMoreLies #Imperialism #FollowTheMoney #CriticalThinking #Iran #WakeUp

Calling it “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” when someone risks their life to stop ICE from tearing families apart is disgusting. ICE jails people with lawful status. No one is safe. Mocking courage is moral rot.
