When the daughter of THE Martin Luther King Jr. tells you not to spread propaganda in his name, we think it’s best to just stop.

It’s time to cancel the Hollywood experiment that was Amy Schumer.

Tweet by eve6 @Eve6  The problem the israeli propaganda campaign is having is they kept repeating "unless you know the history you should sit this one out" expecting that would shame people into deference but a lot of people were like ok i'm gonna look into this 31 Oct 23 2.3M ViewsALT

Reply by @RickNothing A lot of people started following Palestinian and Arab related accounts too  Reply by King of the Internets Encouraging people to learn the history seems ultimately detrimental to their cause, quite frankly.  Reply by Codanon @CodySkinnerFan It's tough that when you look at the history it basically says that the king of England said it was ok to kill Palestinians to make room for Zionist settlers because it would be to uncomfortable to have a lot of Jews in Europe after WW2ALT
Reply by Nondescript Roman Statue [Screenshot of the Tumblr meme "Wait hold on gotta look something up...Ok yeah this is [inserted]ETHNIC CLEANSING"]  Reply by Shawn Concord next thing you know, everyone is reading Pappe and Said and coming to the conclusion: "holy shit, we're witnessing an ethnic cleansing and world leaders don't want to stop it"ALT
Quote Tweet by Nonosbah (@NonosbahM) But this did work for a long time with a lot of ppl. What we're witnessing right now is culmination of years or organising from Palestinians and allies, as well as the impact of recent intensive education on anti-racism and colonialism and its legacies. 2 Nov 23ALT

Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someone’s life? A coworker can be like “I’ve missed seeing you” and I’m just like “???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?”

Thinking back to the first story I ever started writing down (I was 7 or 8) about a group of stray cats who, every full moon, took the form of human kids. They actually were human kids, who had been killed (all at different times/by different people). Their bodies were each dumped by the side of the road where a cat had been hit by a car previously, and their souls landed in the cats’ bodies. Eventually they all found each other and decided that every full moon, when they shifted, they’d try to solve each other’s murders one by one. It was going to be a series, with each book focusing on a different kid’s murder mystery. I told my mom about it once, briefly, and she said “Those cat books (warrior cats) are making you creepy.”
