Mirna El Helbawi just put out an update — right now the Gaza Esims email only has 500 esims left when they send out more than 3,000 esims daily. If you have not yet sent an E-sim, now is the time to do so.
To send an e-sim, refer to the information at https://gazaesims.com/

my Nomad esim that I sent them a while ago is being used!!! please do this, y’all, if you have only $15-20 to spare it is literally life-changing.
Because my last post about this didn't get much traction, I'll say it in a text post.
There is an upcoming global strike for Palestine. February 18th to the 25th. Talk about Palestine and other injustices, call your representatives and email them, boycott companies and limit spending during the week. Get your grocery shopping in now and only buy essentials during the week, please. Limit interaction on posts other than injustices around the world. If you can, skip work or school, though this is a privilege not everyone has.
Edit: It is 18th-25th not 18th-24th!! If you've already reblogged this, please reblog this version instead, edits don't show on past reblogs
In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

The Palestinian catastrophe (Al-Nakba)
"Palestinians were killed long before Hamas was formed and would still be getting killed even if Hamas never existed."
In case you're looking for more reading materials on Sudan, here is a google doc compiled by Razan Idris (and under the hashtag Sudan Syllabus).

Not to be dramatic, but Haiti hasn’t had a presidential election since our last president was assassinated in 2021. We haven’t had a proper government for 3 years. The U.S. has been dragging their feet convicting people for the murder and much of the case has been classified.
The U.S. has a history of overthrowing our democratically elected leaders in favor of a U.S. backed puppet, and that puppet is our Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, who has done next to nothing to support the people; he’s only there to prop up the international board of leaders in Haiti that only hold the interests American banks in relation to the country.
With Aristide in the early 2000’s, we were supposed to have a government that was elected by the people for the people; a president who demanded that the U.S. give Haiti reparations but the U.S. had him overthrown to protect their interests.
All we want is the power to govern ourselves, and choose our own leaders who actually put the country first and not American banks. We’re tired. We’re angry.
And we see what’s going on in Palestine and we weep because we see the pattern. America is nothing if not predictable.
A free Palestine is a free Haiti is a free Sudan is a free DR Congo.
