pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc
against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

i don't understand how anyone sees a nine-year-old choosing to be a journalist for her people and feels anything other than rage and anger and shame and disappointment in the fact that countries that claim to care about children do nothing or even worse--actively encourage and fund this continued atrocity.
calling bullshit on the 'exchanging fire'. the cop that was wounded was hit by friendly fire.
the unrelenting dedication that the media has to twisting the truth or straight up lying about events to obfuscate police atrocities is absolutely despicable
Bisan is calling for another global strike!
I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.
What a global strike would look like is:
- calling in sick to work
- purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can
- putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!
For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!

Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.
Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!
Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.
You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).

CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.
They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.
Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!
