I’ve been an unpaid subscriber for a while. I was so sorry to read the backlash you received from your subscribers about your support for Palestinian liberation. Everyone is for freedom until reality gets messy. Empires don’t just fall, they are overrun. The only hope for our future is if we can ensure the Peacemakers are the ones who do the ransacking of Rome. No one is free until we are all free 🇵🇸✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Thank you and thank you for all the important work you are doing.
"When we move beyond the confines of colonial medicine, we see that protests are medicine, organizing is medicine, resistance efforts in any form are medicine." 🌱 - Your work is medicine Ayesha, and we are grateful for it. Your perspective is a lens the world truly needs in these times.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to write this at such a horrible time. Your unwavering commitment to decolonisation and a better world is an inspiration to us all 🇵🇸

Could this final (above) video share and your leaving words Ayesha be more poignant?! Because feel I sure did. Feeling despair and hope and pride watching such beauty and decolonised medicine in practice just as you say in this beautiful piece. Thank you for taking the time to write this. I'm so sorry to hear what has come your way (before and now). As uncomfortable as many of us are with violence (sometimes me too) especially in the colonised and cultural-less, capitalised and colonised west (I am living on Gadigal Country in Australia), thank you for poking my brain and also reminding me what we're for and not just against.
Thank you for putting these thoughts into words. I’m new to the revolution and did not expect the backlash I got after posting what I thought were fairly measured messages of support for Palestinians online. Admittedly it has scared me into silence for the past week because I don’t know how to respond to some angry messages from long time, close friends who likely won’t be anymore. I’ve been donating the little bit of extra money I have instead, but I know that’s not enough. Thank you for the reminder that it’s always risky to push against the dominant culture.
Thank you for your loving work Ayesha. I'm sending love and strength to you, all the Palestinians and all of us standing in solidarity with Palestine 🖤🇵🇸❤️
“A state built by colonizing indigenous lands, genocide & ethnic cleansing was never a state concerned with the safety of the people it claims to protect.”
And that’s really it. At the end of the day, it’s in the interest of capitalism to accumulate more at everyone else’s expense while using the front that it is protecting the interests of those it claims to serve.
Thank you so much for writing this, even during this time and through all the backlash. The work you do is important and so glaringly obvious in retrospect but I hope it becomes a way of moving forward for everyone.
