“It’s a scary moment, but it’s also a moment that bears no equivocation. At this point you are either on the side of protecting our neighbors and protecting our community, or you’re on the side of this administration. There is no neutral ground in this moment. There’s no center left. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit.” - Eman Abdelhadi

On Parenthood and Genocide A new mother and scholar of forced displacement writes about Israel's mass murder of Palestinian children in Gaza.

Another Mother’s Day, another day of mothers witnessing the genocide of their children, their starvation, another day of global apathy.

Motherhood is my favorite thing I’ve done, but what is there to celebrate when they’re killing our children?
