Message to all losers: please survive
since some white bitches on here have decided they'd much rather give money to this shitty excuse of a website than people who are trying to escape death and genocide like the daft cunts they are can the rest of you please promote siraj's (@siiraj2024) campaign? he's managed to reach his short term goal of $20,000 CAD in time but he has a long term goal set for $82,000 CAD to rebuild his home for him and his family
siraj is a journalist who has been hard at work documenting what daily life is like in gaza on his blog. idk how people on here can look at literal videos of bombs being dropped and claim that people like him are actually bots trying to scam you out of your money but whatever. he and every other palestinian have gone through things that no human being should ever have to and yet he's still found the time and effort to record things for the world to see and reach out to people like me get his story heard and spread.
please donate if you can and share his link! he may have succeeded in getting to $20K by the end of this week like he hoped he would but that doesn't mean the momentum should slow down! he still has $62K left to go!
hi, my name is ahmad and I'm raising a fund for my cousin Siraj and thi… Ahmad Abudayeh needs your support for Support Siraj's Family in Reb
whenever reports (and videos) of israeli bulldozers and tanks running over palestinians dead or alive come up i keep thinking about the testimonies from breaking the silence from operation protective edge in 2014 where idf soldiers talk about how they used the bulldozers to destroy homes, orchards, to cover civilians they had killed, and through most of it they're just impressed at how efficiently the bulldozers work
You've just seen a neighbourhood get erased in the space of 3 seconds. Those were homes, memories, ice cream shops, cornerstores. Those were alleyways and streets that kids played soccer in. Those were wedding spots and portraits of deceased and martyred loved ones and you just saw it all disappear. It took 3 second for this to happen.

can white people stop boo-hooing about how they lost their favorite vacation spot because of the fires on maui? it’s vile. people lost their lives and their homes. no one gives a shit that your colonizing ass can’t go somewhere you were never welcome anyway
This AND if you’ve ever visited/vacationed in Hawái it’s time to pay up. If y’all love Hawái so much, show it by donating. Oh, and never go back. That native land has been EXPLOITED by vacationers and capitalism. The government is spending money and resources in order to house and feed tourists/visitors OVER sending help to the native people who NEED IT. Stop going to Hawái. It’s not your land.
Just wanted to add on to this a concrete example: a couple years ago the Hawaiian government implemented water rationing FOR LOCALS ONLY, while continuing to allow tourists to use as much water as they wanted for fancy hotels, spas, pools, and GOLF COURSES. This is obviously the exact opposite of how water shortages should be addressed. I don't even think many of the tourists had any idea that the water they used on vacation was literally being taken from the homes of indigenous people: many tourists think they are helping local economies. I would LOVE to visit Hawaii and see amazing Polynesian biomes and active volcanoes without a passport, but I have resigned myself to the fact that there is currently no ethical way for me to do so. Visiting Hawaii would take needed resources from the people who live there, and the tourism industrial complex would actively lie to me about it if I tried to travel there in an ethical or sustainable manner. The US has really plundered those amazing islands and done so much harm to them in so many ways. Native Hawaiians are begging tourists to stay away. So please take their demands seriously and enjoy Hawaii's amazing natural wonders through video instead of in person.
While residents are being told to cut back, water-reliant resorts are bustling.
“rap is the worst music genre” “no actually it’s soul” “no actually it’s jazz” “no actually it’s ska” “no actually it’s r&b” hey guys do you notice a common denominator in the genres you hate or is it just me

Trans Lesbian And Two-Time Deportee With Serious Disability Needs $2000 for Immigration Expenses
I'm a trans woman and a Muslim who has been in immigration limbo for years due to the pandemic and partly due to immigration being absolute bullshit. Every few months, for the past three years or so, I've needed to pack up and move to another country. I've been deported twice since the start of the pandemic, which sucks.
I want to stop doing that, I hate doing that, and I don't want to do it anymore. Currently, in my current country of quasi-legal residence, due to trade agreements with American monopoly capitalists, I am unable to access medication for my disability because it does not exist. It cannot be imported, it cannot be produced, and no doctors exist to prescribe it.
Provided I can produce a bank statement every few months proving I have $2000 in the bank, though, I will be able to stay indefinitely in another country, where medication is cheap and available (I checked).
However, I need to raise this in addition to living expenses, etc, because I cannot pay for food, rent, and medication out of that $2000. So time is a very important factor now.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm halfway there!
truly makes me sick and angry that Africa so far has only been able to vaccinate 1% of the whole continent’s population bc the whole western world is herding vaccines and wont share the patent with poor countries, so much for black lives matter
my fellow EU citizens here’s a link to a petition bc it’s more than time that we suspend the covid vaccine patents so that every country can afford the vaccines!!!!
345k+ new cases of covid today in india!! in a single day!! twitter and instagram are our healthcare system rn!! we're short on icu beds, oxygen cylinders, covid vaccines and drugs!! we have no slots in cremation grounds to respectfully do the last rites needed for our dead!! patients are dying outside hospitals because there are!! no!! beds!! patients are dying inside ambulances!! and the states that are claiming to have enough resources rn are on their way to have a shortage of the same!! healthcare workers are being stretched thin!! we're all facing an acute mental health crisis rn!! meanwhile our central govt is doing too little too late!! after spending months doing election rallies and giving a green light to religious festivals (with millions of attendees) up until last week, they've finally decided to wake up and start paying attention to the covid crisis and it!! is!! not!! enough!!
if you would like to help, check out this publicly sourced document that is collating and constantly updating mutual aid fundraisers. please please amplify and donate to even any one of these causes!! especially people outside of india: your money matters! as of 24th april, 2021, 1 USD = 75 Indian rupees, 1 euro = 90 INR so your money is extremely valuable and it will save lives!
Lets help this Palestinian man pay for med school, i think that would be neat
Each semester is $2,500 and that is basically nothing. ($3972/$15,000)
A group of Black trans folks are looking to move in together and need some money to help them cover costs related to that!! ($30/$6,500!)
instead of putting “pro transfem” in your carrd (which btw doesn’t tell me anything about you or your politics, actually) you should be showing how “pro transfem” you are by boosting our voices, our fundraisers, our art. circulate transmisogynist blocklists and deplatform terfs. check yourself and your friends for transmisogyny. that’s what makes you “pro transfem”
