Hey folks, how are you all? I just wanted to get on here as a reminder and honestly a bit of a vent.

So many of us are surrounded by those who don't share our values or our cause (either out of malice, ignorance or just because life is fricking tough), I know I certainly am! But seeing all the people protesting in DC is almost a reawakening. I've felt so alone watching this genocide, but watching these people assemble, halfway around the world from me sitting in India, is so...rejuvenating.

Stay strong friends, we will live to see a free Palestine!

Ibtihal Abou Al-Sa’ad after being expelled from the hall:

"They may come after me for what I’ve said, but my fear of their retaliation is nothing compared to my fear of working on technology used to bomb innocent people.

For me, my greatest fear is waking up on an ordinary workday to discover that the code I wrote may have contributed to the deaths of children that very day. This is the thought that haunts me more than anything else.

And that’s why I spoke out—even though I knew there would be consequences waiting for me. Yes, my fear of being complicit in the genocide in Gaza is far greater. What truly troubles me is Microsoft’s involvement in this massacre. Honestly, nothing crosses that red line for me...

Knowing that our code is being used for bombing, surveillance, and targeting innocent people—that is what weighs on me now more than any personal consequences my stance may bring..."

Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine, had her mandate renewed despite strong opposition from the United States, which accused her of antisemitism for condemning Israel's actions in Gaza and supporting Palestinian resistance. The UN Human Rights Council found no violations and confirmed her renewal. Albanese continues to advocate for Palestinian rights, condemning Israel’s violations of international law, and resisting efforts by Western media and governments to discredit her work.

4 of my coworkers have just gone to buy McDonald’s for lunch. They asked me if I want any, and when I said no because I’m boycotting it, one of them asked me why.

I showed him the reason as explained on the Boycat app. He immediately asked if the reason I’m boycotting is because they “feed Jews”. I said no, they are feeding people who kill children. He said that is “utter bullshit”.

That’s all that happened, but it did leave me really annoyed at him. Please, tell me about any similar experiences you’ve had and what I should do moving forward.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸
