The last functional hospital in Gaza city has been bombed and patients are strewn on the streets.

We are not even a week into the second Trump administration and the President of Colombia is telling Trump that he will never shake is hand because “I don’t shake hands with white slavers,” which, to be clear, is a bar

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's full post ordering an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods, says he doesn't really like traveling to the U.S. because it's “a bit boring” and invokes the ancestors

The very idea of Palestinian freedom is so loathed by the US that two of the only states getting aid are the two states blockading Gaza, a strip mostly populated by children www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

US orders halt to virtually all foreign aid except for Israel and Egypt

Internal memo to US state department staff explicitly makes exceptions for military assistance to Israel and Egypt

I edited this comic for poet Jehad Abu Dayya and artist Esraa Elbanna, currently displaced in Deir alBalah. They wrote and drew it together from their tents. It is a very intentional work with many layers to it, I hope you read it (1/5)

sad to report that workshop signups have been way down since the start of the new year. please don't forget about the small, regular amounts of aid to mutual aid groups which need thousands a day to provide for their people! upcoming workshops here: www.workshops4gaza.com/workshops

i keep forgetting to check this platform im sorry. i’d like my 2025 resolution to be not to use social media at all. but even though i no longer suffer from the delusion that maybe if we all keep posting the right way we won’t have to keep watching arab kids die, i still feel a need to do it.

This is the lash photograph of Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, taken as he walks, unflinching, towards the Israeli tanks. An absolutely harrowing image.

Israel has murdered Khaled Nabhan, a man whose story gained global attention last year when CNN shared his grief over the brutal killing of his grandchild, whom he described as "the soul of [his] soul."

Gaza now has the world’s highest rate of child amputees per capita.

I'm still not seeing posts in Arabic in Blue Sky. When I posted in Arabic the formatting seemed awkward (couldn't do right to left script). This excludes a great many people. What's being done about it?

The idea that people in need are at a deficit of credibility is part-and-parcel of the racism that fuels this genocide. It's not to say scams don't exist. But the entitlement to accuse others of things with 0 proof, that your "gut" supersedes their stories is something else entirely.

I don’t care that Biden just pardoned his kid. But I do care that he’s still facilitating genocide 14 months later.

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen. What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

Gaza needs 600 aid trucks daily. Biden only required Israel to let in 350 per day. Israel allowed an average of just 56 aid trucks into Gaza per day during the 30 days afterward. Biden still refused to hold Israel accountable. @stephensemler.bsky.social: www.securityincontext.com/posts/israel...

i’ve said this before but last october news came out that around 15 family trees had been totally wiped out in gaza and i tried to draw a comic about what that means. before i could finish it the number passed 100 and i no longer knew how to depict that kind of loss. now it is in the thousands.

elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 2y ago

Top quality journalism here from the NYT. Over a year of entire family trees being eradicated in Gaza.

There’s like 12 more IDF evacuation orders for Dahieh, Beirut tonight. I’ve lost count of how many there have been but it’s easily in the lower hundreds. An entire historical area of Beirut is being annihilated on a quasi-daily basis.
