"It's mere routine for imperial powers to strike terrorists oceans away" could it be not though? I think it would be nice if they would not bomb people.

"but the Houthis are bad"

  • This does not excuse bombing civilians, nothing ever does
  • Maybe you should try other means to dealing with such groups instead of just hoping they'll just explode
  • That's not even the issue here because that chat revealed that bombing Yemen is about political posture rather than any strategic aim. This is something that is said almost explictly

And there's people still defending this. Por favor no sean tan pelotudos.

I mean the best thing that leak did is to prove that US airstrikes are not about protecting the country or fighting terrorism but for posturing the US as a strong country (all the comments about dick measuring with the Europeans)

You would think people picked up in that hypocresy but they didn't and that's because in a sense they still think that bombing people is acceptable.

for anyone claiming that Palestinians citizens of Israel have "equal rights" why do you conveniently leave out that there are only 3 entities that control the transfer of land and one of them the Jewish National Fund will only lease out land to Israeli jews? that it is extremely difficult for a Palestinian citizen of Israel to obtain a permit to build a home and therefore tens of thousands of Palestinians citizens of Israel are at risk of losing their home? or conveniently leave out that Israel counts east Jerusalem Palestinians of which no more than 5% have citizenship while the rest have "permanent resident status" that can be revoked anytime?

"Equal rights"

And every share is powerful, and that's not me being cheesy.

Because every share means another donor might see this.

This is @aburakhiaibrahim he's verified by @gaza-evacuation-funds (which is Palestinian run) and has a family of 28.

Every donation on Gofundme can be refunded for a Year. So giving is low risk.

However PayPal is also an option to help this family and will help them get funds faster.

No action is the only wrong action

For more than 500 days we have been living without a livelihood. Unfortunately, we do not have the simplest necessities of life. Help me save my family.🫂🙏

Please help Ibrahim and boost!

i realize that this is a big ask for this website but i really think a lot of yall (looking at you MRAs) need to realize that "oppressor" and "oppressed" are not neatly separated categories. please learn about intersectionality and i mean actual intersectionality, not the buzzword that people use on tumblr

like, yes, a cis butch lesbian is capable of being transphobic towards trans men. but you, as a trans man, are also capable of being misogynistic and lesbophobic towards her.

this shit isnt like pokemon types, your misogyny and lesbophobia doesn't suddenly vanish just because your target is cis

Baby Ayla and her family were in their tent today when the IOF suddenly appeared and began firing on the tents. The family barely escaped with their lives, a bullet having narrowly missed baby Ayla’s head!

They had to leave their tent and most of their possessions, which are now under IOF control and are irrecoverable.

They are currently on the street, with no tent, no blankets, no food, and no clothes other than what they were wearing when they had to flee for their lives. They are literally just sitting in the dirt under the night sky.

Ayla’s mother Bashaer @bshaeromars-blog is trying to get Ayla to sleep, but Ayla is too cold and uncomfortable. The low temperature in Gaza tonight is just 47 F or 8 C. They are starving, freezing, and totally without resources. They DESPERATELY need funds for a tent, food, and other basic necessities!! The tent alone is $3000

Currently: $40,469

New temporary goal: $43,469 USD

Please send anything you can so baby Ayla and her family can survive the night!!

NO SUPPORT IN A WHOLE WEEK!!!

Bashaer and Ayla returned to their home in north Gaza, but as you can see, it was rendered uninhabitable by the IOF:

They are still living on the street, still without shelter, and still in desperate need of your support for food, medical care, and repairing their home to the point where it is livable again.

We are setting a low temporary goal to try to restart donations. Please help a young widow and her baby rebuild their lives❤️‍🩹

Current: $45,755 USD

New temporary goal: $46,000 USD

Need to raise: $245 USD

BASHAER AND AYLA’S HOUSE WAS BOMBED AGAIN—WITH THEM INSIDE

THE VIEW FROM THEIR HOUSE RIGHT NOW👆🏼

Their home, already severely damaged by prior IOF attacks, is in even worse condition now. They want to evacuate away from the principal attack zone, but they are completely without money.

Without funds for transportation and additional support, they will be forced to move by foot through an active war zone! Until they can evacuate, they are trapped in their crumbling home, which has already been bombed and remains in the IOF’s target area!

Please help them find something akin to safety!!

Current: $46,553

New temporary goal: $47,333

Need to raise: $800 USD
The Trump administration abruptly pulled funding last week for a research grant meant to protect pregnant women from domestic violence because it was categorized as a “DEI” study.
The National Institute of Health grant funded a two-year project to create a training program for early career clinicians to measure intimate partner violence and pregnancy. The leading cause of death among pregnant and postpartum women in the U.S. is homicide by an abusive partner. Perinatal women are more than twice as likely to be murdered than to die from sepsis, hypertensive disorders or hemorrhage.
The grant was awarded last September after hundreds of hours of work from researchers, scientists and other staff, including some NIH grant officers, three of the four lead researchers told HuffPost. The goal was to create a three-day hybrid training program for OB-GYNs, public health researchers and other clinicians across the country to help spot and measure the correlation between domestic violence and pregnancy.
President Donald Trump has pledged to protect women, and yet research that could go on to save the lives of thousands of pregnant women and mothers has been unceremoniously cut. The move is particularly confounding given that Trump’s conservative Supreme Court repealed federal abortion protections, leading to nearly 20 states enacting abortion bans and forcing more people to stay pregnant.
With more pregnant women in the U.S. and maternal mortality rates on the rise, this research is arguably more important than ever. But it was caught up in the Trump administration’s broader campaign to slash all federal initiatives for diversity, equity and inclusion.
[...]
NIH immediately terminated the grant – instead of the standard protocol to temporarily suspend it – because “no modification of the project could align the project with agency priorities.” [...]
Integral to the grant project was a mentoring program to help jumpstart the careers of “underrepresented early-stage investigators.” This would ensure the continuation of critical but often underfunded research on domestic violence and pregnancy.
“The people who do research on violence in sexual and gender minority communities, violence against women, violence in black and brown communities ― they are significantly more likely to be from those communities,” Fielding-Miller said.
“When they are systematically targeting research that focuses on these communities, what they’re also doing is systematically targeting investigators from these communities.”
[...]
Sarah Peitzmeier, the third researcher who spoke with HuffPost, pointed out that domestic violence during pregnancy is linked to often larger, more costly infant and maternal health issues.
“We know intimate partner violence during pregnancy is linked to miscarriage, hemorrhage, placental disruption and postpartum depression. It’s also linked to negative infant outcomes, preterm birth, low birth weight,” Peitzmeier said. “These are really non-partisan issues that everyone should care about.”
“And these are expensive issues, too,” Metheny added. “These are things that cost the American taxpayer millions and millions and millions of dollars a year. By going to the source and the root problem, which sometimes is IPV [intimate partner violence], then this is one way to actually decrease unnecessary health care costs and improve the health of pregnant people.”
An estimated 324,000 pregnant people are abused each year by an intimate partner, and that number is likely to increase as more people stay pregnant after the fall of Roe v. Wade. Since the landmark Supreme Court decision, calls to the National Domestic Violence Hotline about reproductive coercion ― a form of intimate partner violence specific to pregnancy and reproductive health ― have doubled across the country.
Researchers in a 2024 study found that there’s “a dire need for universal screening and interventions,” after concluding that pregnant women are more likely to be murdered by an abusive partner if they live in a state where abortion is restricted.
“They’re systematically removing women, women of color, people of color, sexual and gender minorities from the pool of researchers. And what the end point of that is is an academy that is systematically more white, more male, more cisgender, more heterosexual, more wealthy,” Fielding-Miller said. [...] “So even after the immediate shocks of this are done, the ripple effects are going to live on for decades.”

Need help? In the U.S., call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. In the U.S., call 1-866-331-9474 or text “loveis” to 22522 for the National Dating Abuse Helpline.

This is the worst Eid I have ever experienced in my entire life. I lost all my friends in the war and I am left alone here suffering from the pain of loss. I used to go and visit my friends, but today I went to their homes and found their mothers collapsing from crying and grieving over the loss of their sons. We used to meet and go out and spend a pleasant time together, but unfortunately today I went and visited them in the cemetery and sat next to them all day crying from the intensity of my pain and regret. How difficult this feeling is for me and I cannot bear it!!! 😭

not only this but arad "served" during the 1967 naksa which displaced 300,000 people and COMPLETELY emptied the villages of bayt nuba, imwas, and yalo. like he participated in an event that was (until the last year) one of the biggest iterations of the nakba ever.
