Still hoping to bring in some more ppl for this conversation -- an important task we should all be thinking about is how to keep young people from becoming imperialist pigs, here or abroad! Come learn from ppl who have been organizing around this! workshops4gaza.com/calendar/stude…
"THEY LIED TO YOU, GI!" -Hanoi Hannah // Fuck the 4th! Come sign up for "Students Not Soldiers" where the Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft (COMD) will share about their efforts to resist military recruitment in their schools and communities: workshops4gaza.com/calendar/stude…
This, is it.
An Israeli minister boasts that “Gaza is being erased, we are wiping out the population.”
Two days ago I posted about how many folks said disabled people who can’t cook for themselves should be institutionalized. Today Trump signs an executive order permitting the arrest and institutionalization of homeless people & those with mental disabilities. Eugenics.
If you’re an environmental data researcher interested in an 18-month gig at $60-70k in upstate NY assessing the impact of invasive species on native biodiversity, there’s a job opening at SUNY that looks interesting
Sorry but the statehood stuff all feels like a bit of a pointless gesture at this stage. Being recognised states hasn't stopped Israel bombing Lebanon, Iran, Syria, or Yemen. We don't need statements, we need the complete political, economic and military isolation of Israel.
Does a country that kills 50,000 children have a right to exist?
"When we’ve spent it all, no bank can loan us a new earth. Our planet is not just a resource; it’s our home. Let’s advocate for policies that protect our natural habitats and promote biodiversity. Together, we can make a difference! #Biodiversity #EcoAdvocacy"
The EPA just proposed re-approving dicamba—again. It’s meant for 5M acres of crops (New Jersey-sized), but the drift harms plants, insects, birds, & bats miles beyond. Spray 5M acres, poison tens of millions—and wonder why there’s an insect apocalypse. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
Oh world, oh people, oh people of humanity, we are dying of hunger under the bombing and genocide. Today, my sister was weighed and her scales were 37 kilograms. Are you kidding? She is just bones. Please make a donation.💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 chuffed.org/project/help-a…🙏🙏🍉
The crossings are all located in the Israeli free fire zone, where Israeli tanks and snipers consider anyone who enters to be a terrorist who can be shot on sight The idea aid workers can simply walk there and pick up supplies without Israeli permission is utter nonsense
No, the UN is not “participating in the starvation of ‘Gazans’ by not delivering aid.” That’s an outrageous Israeli fabrication to shift blame from those actually engineering the starvation of Gaza. ➤ Sam Rose, UNRWA’s acting director in Gaza, told Channel 4 the reason aid…
We continue to see fewer contributions to campaigns in lesser known currencies. The following fundraisers are all in SEK currency and could really use your support. 1 USD ~ 10 SEK 1 GBP ~ 12 SEK 1 CAD ~ 7 SEK 1 EUR ~ 11 SEK 1 AUD ~ 6 SEK Your money can stretch quite a bit in SEK.…
Do not wait for someone to tell you what needs to be done. This is a genocide. Do anything and everything you can. Marches, online discourse, poems & essays do not stop genocides. You will not wash your hands of this. No one will be forgiven. No one.
Your charity, your words of shock after the genocide, won’t make a difference. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look in the mirror, and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?
Unbelievable. Yesterday GHF announced that they were dedicated today for females to collect aid from their site in Rafah. Today Maria al-Eid was shot by Israel while there. She is a mother of 7 children.
That’s 28 million deaths caused by sanctions *alone*. The genocidal death toll imposed by imperialism on humanity year after year dwarfs even the most fanciful figures conjured up by “victims of communism” foundations.
New research published by the Lancet finds that economic sanctions imposed by the USA and EU are associated with more than 500,000 deaths per year since 1970, five times more than deaths by war. thelancet.com/journals/langl…

This campaign hasn’t received any donations at all. It’s the campaign for the family of little Tia, for whom I tailored this beautiful dress she’s wearing in the picture. They are living in dire, deadly conditions, and hunger has taken a severe toll on them. Please donate and…

A doctor condemns how our healthcare system treats elderly people at the end of their life
Amid a genocidal siege in Gaza, Arab regimes face a pivotal test after Sayyed al-Houthi’s call to open land routes for 100,000 Yemenis. Allowing passage risks regional fallout; denying it may fuel mass public backlash and expose deep cracks in legitimacy.
3/3 They also send a message to all: If the world has abandoned Gaza, we have not.. and we never will. This is not just a call to open borders.. it is a call to open history’s eyes.
