Hi there!! My name is Juliana, and I have created this blog to promote visibility, inclusivity, and equality for all, especially in the disability, LGBTQ+, and feminist communities. I am pursuing my MA in Sociology and I am excited to put my energy and passion into this blog!
My goal here is to educate and inform, as well as connect with other individuals who are fighting for greater justice across our society. I am based in Washington, DC, and I would love to collaborate with other activists to mobilize movements for change across our country and hopefully, across the globe.
You can expect blog posts containing analyses of social phenomena, reproducible and educational infographics, databases of existing research on different issues, and much more! I firmly believe in the ability of empowered communities to empower individuals, and I also think that we all have a duty to care for others in order to create a culture where we will care for one another, and our behaviors and policies should embody this care.
If you are interested in or passionate about anything that I have mentioned in this post, please follow and reach out! I cannot wait to engage and produce content for this community of social justice advocates!
via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.
Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.
My name is Osama Basil, a web developer from Gaza. Over the past 10 months, I’ve witnessed the devastation of war firsthand. My office, where I devoted myself to my work, was destroyed, along with my source of income and future aspirations.The situation in Gaza grows more difficult each day, with destruction becoming a constant part of our reality. We've lost friends, colleagues, and loved ones, leaving our community deeply scarred.But I refuse to surrender. Despite the displacement and loss, I am committed to rebuilding my career and life. The war took my job, dreams of marriage, and a chance to pursue a master’s degree in programming and web design. After fleeing to Rafah with my family, I’ve been living in a tent for months, grappling with unstable access to electricity
Opportunities in life are rare, and when destruction strikes, they… Osama Basil needs your support for From Rubble to Success: Helping Osama
Thank you so much for supporting me and sharing my story.
Hello, friends. I launched my campaign in May 2024 to support myself and my family in Gaza. Unfortunately, I am still struggling to raise enough funds. As of today, the donations for my campaign have reached €4,560 out of my €15,000 goal, with very slow progress and a small number of contributions.
✅My campaign has been verified in several ways. It was directly shared on the @gaza-evacuation-funds page, which is dedicated to vetting fundraisers for people in Gaza by @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi in this post.
It has also been verified by @90-ghost in this post and @gazavetters, with my number verified on their list as (#146).
I kindly ask for your support in donating and sharing my campaign and story. Every contribution and share helps make a difference. 🙏
the fact that we are firmly in a time where conservatives are like "the actual founding fathers, who were slaveowners, were not racist enough for my taste" is wild
Boundaries are sacred, consent is non-negotiable and autonomy is a fundamental human right. Let’s keep shining a light on these essential truths and creating a culture of respect and empathy.
Hi everyone! I’m really really panicking right now. The court date for me to get evicted is on the 21st of January. I don’t have anywhere to go if I get evicted. I don’t even have a vehicle and I I would have to surrender my ESA, my cat Mittens. I’d be on the streets and it’s winter in Michigan.
I am disabled and I have no money right now. I can barely afford food and I really need help. I don’t know what else to do and I’m scared. Please, I really need help.
hazem @albardawillhazem95 is a 29 year old man from gaza, and he has had everything taken from him by the israeli occupation. his pregnant wife shayma'a and two young children jad and emad were killed when their home was bombed in october last year.
now hazem is living in flimsy shelter that does not protect him from the elements, struggling to provide himself with even basic necessities. he is suffering immensely. please, please consider donating to him to help him survive in the face of this devastation.
Hi guys! Yujatea here! If you enjoy my work, I’d like to please ask for a moment of your time to consider helping this family I’m supporting! Shaima is a mother of four children, Abdul Rahim, Walid, Majdi, and baby Amal. Shaima is struggling to support her children since her husband disappeared, and needs urgent help with providing food and resources for them, especially as winter sweeps through Gaza! This family’s fundraising campaign (@familgazaamal1) is completely vetted and I’m trying to use my platforms to raise awareness on their behalf. I’ll be opening my commissions to raise funds for their campaign so keep your eyes peeled! I’ll also post their fundraiser link in my highlights as well! Thanks guys! Let’s do our part to reclaim kindness and uplift each other!
Hello, my name is Brooke Cole and I am organizing this fundra… Brooke Cole needs your support for Support the family of little Amal to get a
Here's a message from the family:
In Gaza, where conflict looms over daily life, children’s dreams remain a ray of hope. Abdul Rahim, a young boy, dreams of becoming a famous artist, using his drawings to tell the world about the beauty of his homeland. Walid, on the other hand, dreams of playing football in a big stadium, representing his country despite the obstacles around him. Majdi, a cat lover, dreams of becoming a kind person and helping children. Majdi, who dreams of opening an animal shelter to care for animals in Gaza. Even in the midst of war, these children cling to their dreams, believing that one day, despite the difficulties, they will achieve their goals. Their dreams are not only about personal success, but also about shedding light on a world filled with darkness. These dreams symbolize the resilience of Gaza’s children, showing that hope and determination can survive even the most difficult circumstances.
In the heart of the ongoing war, Shaima lives with her four children, constantly struggling with pain and waiting. Her husband, who was once the source of security and happiness, left a long time ago, facing the challenges of war far from them. Every day, Shaima makes earnest efforts to keep life going despite the hardships. She strives to provide food and shelter while trying to instill hope in the hearts of her children, who are still waiting for their father’s return, a father they know little about other than his absence. Her four children, despite their young age, carry great hopes in their hearts. The eldest, who everyone sees as the "little father," dreams of their father returning to embrace them as he did in the past. The youngest, on the other hand, wakes up at night searching for his father's voice, wishing for his return to feel safe again. Shaima's dream is every mother’s dream in this war: for her husband to return safely so they can live together again in peace and security. She dreams of the days when her husband filled their home with joy, and she prays for the end of the war so their family can reunite once more. Yet, amid the destruction and tears, hope remains their strength. Shaima knows that her patience and resilience are what keep the family going. Despite the difficult days, she continues to resist, dreaming of the moment when her family will be whole again, with her husband and the father of her children back home.
for over a year i've been seeing palestinians campaigning for funds for their survival across social media. i see Palestinians in tumblr notes, twitter replies, youtube comment sections, tiktoks, instagram, etc. there's no social media i regularly use where i haven't seen multiple posts a day from Palestinians asking for help and to be heard. of course, i share and donate what i can. but what gets me is that if I am seeing posts every day then so are the millionaires and billionaires and politicians with the power to end their suffering...and they don't!!!!!
it makes me sick. according to forbes there are over 2700 billionaires in the world with a combined wealth of trillions. it would take less than even 1% of that to fill the gofundmes of Palestinians trying to rebuild their lives. yet the majority of money in these gofundmes is from ordinary folks scrounging spare change. its heartening in a way to watch so many with relatively little pool our resources to help others. but it also makes me so angry because i know there are people with more money than anyone in history seeing the same faces and gofundmes and are doing nothing.
so i'd really appreciate it if you could all help me spotllght Hani Alanqar's campaign. Hani is @haniyassersposts, is only 26, and currently sheltering in a school in Gaxa with his young siblings. He needs 25k to escape the genocide with his sick mother and father and has so far only raised 5k. His campaign is vetted #5 here. let's keep doing what we can to help until Palestine is free.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for writing this post. Your words mean so much to me, bringing a ray of hope during these difficult times. I deeply appreciate your kindness."
"Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference. Your support restores hope for those who have lost everything and helps rebuild lives for families in need. Thank you to everyone standing with us."
i know people are not reading the posts of Palestinian's pleading for your attention I know for some they might even think they are repetitive or tiring but every single one of these people are risking their lives to come ask for your help that every single life is valuable and every person is a universe and I am begging you if you see this please donate what you can and help share these fundraisers as if you were doing it for your own loved ones please don't ignore this!

there are three genocides going on right now, congo, sudan and palestine need our support, please continue to share as much as you can
here are more information about what’s happening in congo and sudan and palestinestudies is a great resource to continue to keep up with what’s happening in palestine
if you have more credible ressources feel free to share
let’s celebrate the citizens of palestine, congo and sudan and remember the silent heroes who are fighting alone for their rights, to preserve their lives and their culture
what's history has shown is that no matter how armed colonizers and governments are, people coming together and fighting for what's right - our rights will always be more powerful than any army can ever be
the people from sudan to congo to palestine will be free
things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:
the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.
Holy shit you neglected to mention that when her daughter got a terminal disease with no cure or treatment possible she literally went to the library got some medical textbooks and taught herself enough biochemistry to actually begin developing a drug that halted the disease good god why have we never heard of this absolute genius
Her name is Martine Rothblatt. She also founded United Therapeutics, which is a company that works to find cures for “””small””” diseases that don’t necessarily affect a lot of people.
oh, yes–and she’s Jewish.
Here is a picture of Martine and her wife, Bina Aspen:
Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”
Another thing happening today with our Indigenous community: please spread awareness for ICWA or the Indian Child Welfare Act. The Supreme Court might overturn it this spring and all because a white Christian family hates the fact they can't rip away an indigenous girl from her family and tribe to adopt her. This 1978 law gave indigenous communities the right to adopt their own people before they were placed with white families in order to prevent another genocide. Communities are choosing this day, April 3, to spread more awareness. Call your local news station, call your rep, sign petitions, do anything you can to stand with the native community and show them that they have the right to keep their culture and children alive.
Thank you so much for mentioning this! ICWA is settled law, this shouldn’t even be a case, but we know this supreme court is corrupt and will stop at nothing to inflict suffering on whomever they can.
Call your people! If you need to know who your congressional representative is- go to www.house.gov put in your zip code, get your rep. Your Senator’s information is at senate.gov
Tell them you’ll vote them out if they support overturning ICWA. Tell them you’ll help fund and champion a primary challenger. Tell them this will not stand.
