emmatsalageek's tweet: "a ceasefire does not free Palestine. a ceasefire does not save Sheikh Jarrah. a ceasefire does not lift the blockade on Gaza. a ceasefire does not dismantle apartheid. do not let this be turned into talks of peace. only liberation and justice will bring peace."
•
WrockSnob re/tweeted threads including:
BreenOuellette's about Canadian crimes against Indigenous nations and particularly children and
Johnnthelefty's about police surveillance in Portland (adding tweet: "If you don't get all my ranting and raving about police, please read this one and understand that *this is how the police act*, at the very least here. This is not one bad cop, this is a system ready and eager to do violence to those it claims to shield").

•
HPANA tweeted: "Reminder to brace yourself against, and to avoid, 20th anniversary Harry Potter merchandise & events. Until JK Rowling begins a turnaround on her disturbing bigotry, engaging with the franchise enables JKR to continue spreading her transphobia unchecked." And: "Fan sites still positively promoting JK Rowling's work are doing it for one simple reason: MONEY & a misguided desire for prestige. And that's why we call them out. The only thing corporations listen & react to is money. They stop enabling problematic people when they lose it." They also retweeted
TheNerdsofColor's resource of acton items to help Palestine and
TrevorProject's survey.
