Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties — and calls for a ceasefire —reaches a tipping point.
In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

Turn “weeks” into days. Into minutes. The fact that they’re projecting that far out is abhorrent when we all know what will happen in those weeks.
But, god.
Keep talking. Keep calling. Keep marching. Shout for the people of Palestine.
Just remember that they’re probably assuming that the outrage will die down somewhat, because we are all numb to this kind of shit at this point, right?…
Since the initial post (1:47pm PST), the ship has again undocked (3:04pm PST) and is headed to the Port of Tacoma in Washington! Those in the SEA-TAC area should plan for the ship’s arrival!
aragorn: and then i’ll say “this army” and then you run at them right through me with your army behind you
ghost king, known dramatic bitch who habitually spends like five minutes scaring and chanting at intruders before killing them: oh FUCK yeah let’s do it
it goes against so much of what i stand for to share “palestinians are humans, they have hobbies, they have pets, they laugh and cry” kind of posts because i’ve spent so much of my life and career completely rejecting the notion that we should humanize ourselves, that we should ever be defensive, that we should entertain this racism at all
but it breaks my heart when i have to share them from people in gaza, who are using their five minutes of internet connection, their 25% of battery charge collected from a macguyvered car battery, emotionally exhausted, thirsty and hungry, sleeping in schools that have turned into refugee shelters and still making the time to say “please, i am human too, i am still alive, please fight for me” in english to appeal to the only people who have the power to help
i shared a tweet from a jjk artist in gaza i follow about a bts photocard being found in the middle of the rubble. even the love of anime and kpop and sports is no longer just a hobby, but an appeal to humanity. what was once a source of joy is now proof of life.
the worst part is that you won’t find this content in arabic. palestinians don’t post like this in arabic. but when they translate themselves, they recognize that they must humanize themselves first. it’s an unspoken understanding of dehumanization, one that has dictated a whole region’s understanding of the value of human life. in arabic they speak with dignity, with anger, with sorrow. in english, they appeal for their existence.
i share these posts not just because we have to reach everyone we can, because im being asked to and i will not refuse. but i also share them because they’re evidence of how deep the racism has run. at what dehumanization leads to. of war crime after war crime. this too i will not forget.
remember how i said israel has to expressly permit any entry or exit even through egypt’s border with gaza? and that this has always been the case and why gaza is considered an ‘open air prison?’
israel is now not allowing irish or brazilian citizens in gaza waiting at the border because their countries called for a ceasefire. it is effectively holding them hostage in gaza as it bombs them. insofar it has bombed the rafah border with egypt five times, and bombed injured evacuees in ambulances en route to the border too.
rogue state, terrorist country, accountable to no one and immune to consequences. israel continues to make a mockery of international law.
god i am obsessed with rose tyler. she’s so painfully human even when she’s not human anymore. she became the doctor to find him again and it nearly broke her. she calls her mother on her pink flip phone and the calls travel through time but no one knows when they’re actually going to because she still goes missing for a year. she became the doctor to find him again and it nearly broke her. she is pro-union because she’s worked a million and one service jobs. she destroyed an entire species with a wave of her hand. she dropped out of school to date a musician. she briefly controlled all of time and space. she brings laundry home for her mom to clean. she’s everything
About a decade ago, my 65 year old conservative father binge watched a tv show on netflix and he became absolutely obsessed with it–to the point my mom and I were sick of hearing about it–so he decided to go on the internet to find other people who loved this show as much as he did and boy oh boy, he was not prepared to see what happened when you googled the phrase “Supernatural fan communities.”
