War doesn’t end when the bombs stop.

People think war ends with a ceasefire. But for us, it’s just another kind of battle.

How do we rebuild a home that no longer exists?

How do we find work when everything has been taken from us?

How do we escape when the cost of leaving is impossible?

How do we afford surgery for my mother-in-law when survival itself is already too expensive?

The weight of these questions is crushing, and I carry them every second of every day.

If you can, please help by sharing our story. Awareness is survival. Hope is action. And even the smallest kindness can change everything.

Long day. The size, speed, and chaos of the last 10 days of the second Trump administration has been calculated and intentional. They have a big pile of abhorrent ideas which they’ve selected from the Project 2025 menu, and they’ve decided to front-load their release over the earliest of these first 100 days. Doesn’t matter that many will be struck down in the courts or overturned later. The point is that 1) the disorder and confusion will scatter the dissenters and make it hard for them to focus criticism on any single policy, 2) some of what they’re throwing at the wall will stick and become semi-permanent so long as the next Democratic administration lets it, 3) whether they win or lose, they succeed in weakening the federal government in a way that makes it harder for any future leaders to accomplish anything at all, strengthening the relative political power of the private sector.

They want you demoralized and to feel like it’s hopeless, but it’s only hopeless if you let them convince you it is. Rest well, stay informed, and take care of yourself during the fights ahead. These four years will be a marathon not a race

Hey! This is the link to the cards, a good resource for anyone who needs them or wants to provide them to their community. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards

I just checked today - August 18th, 2024 - and they are still available! https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards

ICE raids happening in Chicago on Tuesday January 21st. Get organized and get prepared.

what to do if you are arrested or detained by law enforcement, a resource from the National Immigration Law Center, available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese

immigration law help, database of free and low-cost immigration lawyers, searchable by zip code as well as by detention facility if you or a loved one has already been detained

report an ICE raid or arrest in Chicagoland to the Resurrection Project, a Chicago nonprofit that works on immigration justice as well as housing affordability and other community needs

for those of us watching in horror from the sidelines, one of the best things we can do right now is donate to immigrant justice legal services, like the National Immigrant Justice Center or a local group in your community

in the longer term, we can all help by speaking out in support of immigrants and against these xenophobic deportation campaigns — in public discourse and in caring but firm one-on-one conversations with loved ones who've been swayed by hateful anti-immigrant rhretoric

If anyone, at all, can match even a 10th of my donation, I'd consider it a massive christmas gift.

Please, help my friend Mohammed. His family is cold, and hungry.

It would mean a great deal to me.

You can find his fundraiser here,

And you can see that it's been vetted by 90-Ghost here.

With the ceasefire having finally gone through, we're finally going to see some much needed relief come to the people of Palestine, but it's absolutely critical that support still be given to those displaced and trying desperately to escape. As it stands, Palestine is still an open-air prison occupied by a warmongering terroristic entity.

Please, if you can, consider supporting those attempting to flee the country. They still need our help.

has anyone done this yet

trying to boycott sonic 3 really feels like being the only one wearing a mask in the grocery store rn.

you dont need to support a company that supports israel. you don't need to pay for a ticket to fund therapy for IOF members after they snipe palestinian children in the head. you don't need to spend your 15-25 us dollars on a movie that will be easily piratable if you have any patience whatsoever. you don't need to trade compassion for people undergoing genocide for a movie ticket.

Help Us survive the devastating GazaWar

✅ Verified campaign – please check vetteing section below 🔍

My husband Mohanad and I both worked as administrators at the Palace of Justice in Gaza.

We got engaged just two months before the war,

bought an apartment, and began dreaming of a new life together. But the war changed everything. Our workplace and apartment were destroyed, and we lost our jobs. Despite it all, we chose to move forward and got married in the middle of the war, with no wedding ceremony—just a simple union that symbolized resilience amid the devastation.

We’ve been displaced multiple times, each time facing a new eviction order and starting over again. We were forced to leave everything behind and flee with only a few belongings. The displacement was devastating, as we had to leave behind the life we built and the dreams we held for our future.

Today, we live in a small home in Al-Nuseirat, struggling to cover basic needs like food, water, and alternative electricity, facing monthly expenses we can hardly bear. Recently, a new eviction notice was issued for our area, and we don’t know what lies ahead. We’re searching for online work and have skills we can utilize, but finding opportunities has been very challenging under these conditions.

After renting the apartment in Nuseirat, we thought we had found a safe haven from the horrors of war. But on the night of 3-11-2024, explosions erupted nearby, and we never imagined one would hit our apartment. Suddenly, a missile struck; walls shook, parts collapsed, and windows shattered, leaving the room we had just been in destroyed.

We miraculously survived, but the place that once felt like a refuge had become a scene of chaos and destruction. With heavy hearts, we gathered what little remained and moved on once again, hoping to find shelter far from this endless devastation.

Update

On 28-11-2024, our home was shelled for the second time and struck by an artillery shell. We were trying to rebuild our lives amidst all the challenges, but today, our home has turned into rubble once again. 🥺🥺 The dream of safety is fading, and the suffering continues to grow. We need your support to stand on our feet again 💔💔
