In front of the Journalists' Syndicate, Cairo, Egypt, on 15th January 2024.
The crowd chants:
مصر مشاركة في الحصار معبر بيننا و بين اهالينا الصهيوني متحكم فينا طول ما الدم العربي رخيص يسقط يسقط اي رئيس عملوها احفاد مانديلا و احنا فخوف و فعار و مزلة عايزين المعبر مفتوح
Translation:
Egypt participates in this siege! A crossing between us and our people! Controlled by Zionists! As long as Arab blood is seen as cheap, Any and every president must fall! Mandela's grandchildren have done it, While we are seized by fear, shame, and humiliation! We demand Rafah Crossing open!
Ceasefire NOW

Whatever happens today, whatever the judges decide in a few weeks, thank you to this team and thank you South Africa for your courage and decency.
'This Bitch'
Occupied Palestine ("Israel"), is quite literally beating the dead horse that is the "Hamas" or "Oct. 7 2023" arguments. Which should not be surprising to anyone as the U.S., U.K., Canada, France, Spain and Germany have all done similar when it came to talking about the people they have committed Genocide and/or war crimes against. Notably the U.S.'s long list of people including (but not limited to);
Iraqis, Afghans, Haitians, Laotians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, Puerto Ricans, Black Americans and Africans, Mexicans, and countless of Indigenous people of Turtle Island/American.
The Third Reich did the same with their propaganda to push and encourage men and women to help with the war and genocide from 1933-1945. In reality, it's no surprise that Occupied Palestine's legal team is continuing in the footsteps of Daddy Genocidal Joe and Mommy Blood Money Royalty.
Occupied Palestine is continuing to shove their own feet into their mouths, and most of the world has had enough of them saying the same lies over and over again. However, some people are more focused on punishing them before freeing Palestine.
Remember, we have to walk before we can run. In WW2 the primary focus during the war was stopping the Axis powers, then the focus shifted to pushing them once they flew the white flag.
We have to stop the genocide before we punish it or else Palestine will continue to suffer and will suffer even more.
Take baby steps. Listen to the people of Palestine, support South Africa and Yemen in their efforts of stopping the genocide. We have to walk before we can run.
From the river
to the sea,
Palestine will be free 🕊️
Note: the order of countries is supposed to be in a rough historical order

The thing I don't understand is when I say free Palestine, so many people think that means I hate the Israeli people. That I don't care if they die.
I care about the Israeli people.
I care about the Israeli hostages that were shot down by their own military.
I care about all Israeli hostages in general.
I care about the Israeli men being thrown in jail because they refuse to assist in the "war" around them.
I care about the Israeli people who don't support the genocide happening infront of their very eyes.
Even the Israeli people who do, I don't wish death upon them, or whatever hateful thing you think I do.
When I say free Palestine, I don't mean I hate the Israeli people.
When I say free Palestine, I mean Free Palestine
After a School Shooting
After a School Shooting
The dead and injured
Are counted
Parents cry out of
Joy and Misery
Because some of them know
That their children are never
Coming home
3-6 hours later
They identify the shooter
You can count that it was a
White, Christian Male
With Republican beliefs
But when it's not,
They demonized others who Identify, Believe, or Look similar
6 hours later
Representatives make a statement
Democrats talk about gun laws
Republicans only say
Thoughts and Prayers
And that
Guns are not the problem
But rather an
Unstable, Non-Nuclear Family
Unless, of course
The shooter is trans
Then the issue is hormones
Or if it was a woman,
Then she was just crazy
Or if they were Black or Brown,
Because then they're dangerous
And all of them should be Deported or Imprisoned
18 hours after a School Shooting
Another one happens
There have been over
300 School Shootings since Columbine
More than 300000 Children
Have experienced gun violence
You're more likely to die in a
4th grade math class than in the Military
It's hard to learn how to read
When you're afraid
you'll bleed out
Before you graduate
Kindergarten
The worst thing a child should be Afraid about in school
Is a test they didn't study for
Or the mean girls
Who makes fun of their clothes
Not dying during third period
The cycle repeats
As the Government does nothing
While the NRA funnel money
Into politicians pockets
Scars//Stories
Scars tell stories
Stories of triumph,
Stories of losses.
They say so much,
Even though they lack a mouth.
Purposeful or accidental,
There's a story to tell.
The firey explosion of a tank,
Or an accidental hit with a toy,
Tell a story nonetheless.
Jagged or clean,
Faint or dark,
Risen up or dented down,
All have a
Story to Tell.
Surgical scars,
Ment to help the living.
Methodical scars,
Meant to harm
but not kill.
Self done,
Used as a means to escape.
What? You may ask,
Only the person could tell.
War scars tell
War stories
Stories of Triumph
And shame.
Gunshots, blades, burns,
All leave their marks.
Scars from play,
Are perhaps the most entertaining.
A fall in a playground,
A hit too hard with a plastic sword.
Leaves the owner laughing,
As they tell
The stories of their scars.
Scars tell stories,
So be careful when you ask.
Some scars hurt,
Long after they
Bled and Burned.
Some are ashamed
Of the marks on their bodies,
Others find pride in marred skin.
Scars tell stories,
So some prefer to hide.
Others want the scars to see light,
Because they wish for their stories to be known.
Scars tell stories,
So it's important to listen.
Scars have power over the owner,
And those around,
Some overcome the power,
Others still struggle against it.
But all the same,
Big or Small,
Shallow or Deep,
Scars tell Stories.
Joy to the Queers
There's laughing in the streets,
Sounds of good joy
Flags flow in the wind,
Music blasting in the open air
And to think,
That what got us here
Was Black trans women
And drag queens
After decades of hate,
We finally thrive
After decades of fear
We finally strive
Queer history is here,
And we will not hide
We will not sit and watch
The tides go by
Queer joy is important,
Maybe more than pride
Joy that we are here,
Joy that others are near
Joy that we can live
Not just survive
Joy that all of us
Can finally thrive
Joy to the Queers,
Ignoring the jeers
Joy to the Queers,
Well into their years
Sipping on beer
Joy to the Queers,
Who died
But were not forgotten
Joy to us all,
For making it this far
As we march in the streets,
People will hear us sing
No one can ignore,
The joy of a thousand Queers
Am I Human?
Am I human?
I ask myself this question,
thoughts rushing around my head
What's wrong with me?
Why am I like this?
Why is my heart empty?
Why does my own community hate me?
Why do they exclude me?
I feel as if I am not human,
given that everyone else is focused on romance and sex
I wish I knew why,
what it feels to love someone like that
Maybe then I would feel human
Why am I pushed aside?
Ain't I as Queer as everyone else?
Am I even human to you?
I do not purely feel contempt inside,
Why do you think that?
I just wish I was like all of you,
maybe then I would be seen
Maybe then,
just maybe,
I'd feel human once again
But why do I have to change,
for you to include me
Ain't I human as well?
Ain't I as Queer as everyone else?
When it is Radical to be Yourself
I feel as if people don't know that indentity can be radical
Not just with Civil Fights, but day to day life
I, myself, live in a world where it is radical to wake in the morning
But not many people know it
When I wake up, alive and living, anger flares in hundreds of people
When I eat,
sleep,
and breathe,
there are people who hate me
When I enjoy my life, people wish me death
I, however, have an easier life than others like this
But I still live in a world where it is radical to be myself
When it is Radical to be Yourself,
you live in a world where people hate your very being
You living is a polictal statement,
that you are here and they cannot get rid of you
As a Trans Youth living in the U.S.,
my very life is a polictal statement
To those who hate me,
who want me dead,
who write and fund legislature that could ruin me,
Me living is a political statement
And to this rest like me,
who live a life like this,
Stay Living
For Who You Are is Radical,
and they cannot change that
Every breathe you take,
is proof that you and your community is stronger than those who hate
