Reminder:

LRADs, a sound-producing device used to control crowds, can inflict permanent damage on subjects

[ID 1: A screenshot of a Facebook post by Grouchy Socialists Rides Again. The post reads "ICE is deploying LRADs at their raids. Bring hearing protection to all actions! Ear plugs fit in your pocket, ear muffs fit in a bag. Pair them together for even better protection." There is a photo below of a Homeland Security Investigations truck with a long range acoustic device (or LRAD) on top, which is circled with red to draw attention to it. Two soldiers stand in front of the car and hold guns.

ID 2: A screenshot of a Facebook post that goes over two screenshots due to length by Leftist Lt Dan that reads:

"**UPDATE** for anyone worried about inner ear plugs being ineffective or harmful in this instance JASA (see comments for sources) found that LRADs primarily cause damage via air conduction, not bone conduction, at operational distances. Studies have found that inner and over ear protection together are the most effective method of protecting your hearing.

LRADs stands for Long Range Acoustic Device and emits ear piercing sounds and is sometimes used in crowd control. Thanks to Grouchy Socialists Rides Again for sharing this info for communities currently protesting [ice cube emoji].

Here's some info to protect your hearing, share this information whenever possible, and I would suggest those who can carrying extra hearing protection in case someone around you needs it. Coordinate on site resistance measures whenever possible.

Personal Protection Measures:

Hearing Protection:

High-grade earplugs: Industrial or earplugs with a high Noise Reduction Rating (NRR 33+) are recommended.

Noise-cancelling earmuffs: Wearing these in addition to earplugs provides extra protection.

Improvised ear protection: If proper equipment is unavailable, use foam, cloth, or wax based earplugs.

Covering your ears: While less effective than earplugs, firmly blocking your ears with your hands can reduce sound by 20-30 dB, but may not be enough to prevent injury from very loud sounds.

Breaking Line of Sight:

Obstacles: LRADs are directional, so sound waves can be blocked or reflected by buildings, vehicles, or solid objects.

Positioning: Position yourself behind solid barriers.

Movement: If you're moving, zigzag or change direction to avoid staying in the direct path of the LRAD beam.

Getting out of range: Distance is the best". /end ID]

Guys, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't think cops are spending their time sending anonymous asks to popular tumblr bloggers trying to entrap them into admitting that they are attending a perfectly legal, permitted public event with several million attendees for nefarious purposes.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that insisting that it's terrifyingly dangerous to admit to attending an event that was, in my location, 80% white-haired old ladies in walkers holding signs about how ICE agents are going to hell with zero police presence whatsoever, and that the feds are just waiting to snatch up anyone who attends a protest - that is, again, fully intended to be public and visible and attended by several million people - you are doing more to discourage people from resisting than any fed could ever hope to.

captainjonnitkessler

You can't keep parroting "don't comply in advance or else you're just ceding power to the fascists" and then also tell people not to talk about going to protests.

These are legal protests with permits by organizers that are working with cities and local police. We've already had No Kings protests with no local or federal crackdowns. Telling people that they should be scared and that they shouldn't talk about going to or take any photographs of a perfectly legal event for fear of reprisal is complying in advance.

I absolutely love having my money stolen in a banking app scam the day before I get paid. Ive never bothered to ask but if anyone would be willing to help just to bring the number down or help with supplies till I get this sorted, youd be saving my life

They bombed a tent housing displaced people and children next to me. It was very close, and the force of the explosion sent rocks flying into my tent. The tent burned down with all the civilians inside. I felt like I was in a real action movie. Please donate to my family so we can flee tomorrow through the crossing, which will be open.

This is my last chance, don't let me die alone. I want to live, I don't want to die. Donate anything, don't ignore, and please.

We have lost everything. Children, women, and the elderly are suffering every moment. I am asking for your support. Even the smallest donation can help us survive this dark time.

We have been forcibly displaced from our homes and now find ourselves without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

We urgently call on kind-hearted individuals and humanitarian organizations to come to our aid.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of our children and families.

🚨Please help us — time is running out 🚨

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

💔🇵🇸 My Daughter Was Born Under Bombs — I'm Just Trying to Keep Her Alive

My name is Abdulmajid.

I got married one month before the war. Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams. I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.

But the war came… Suddenly. Brutally.

My mother was killed. My brother was killed. Children in my family were taken by the bombs. My home was destroyed. And my work stopped completely.

Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born. A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war. She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.

Today, I’m a father with almost nothing… Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.

Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800. There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.

I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.

My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

Even $1 can make a difference. It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace. Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.

📌 Please share this post. Let our voices be heard — not buried under rubble.

🔴🔴🔴Today, the US-backed Israeli occupation under Trump intercepted several humanitarian ships from the Freedom Flotilla, including the vessel “Florida”, which carried medicines, baby formula, and essential food supplies bound for Gaza. Activists on board were arrested, and the aid was confiscated before it could reach those in desperate need.

But what happened at sea is only a glimpse of the harsher reality on the ground:

• Killing continues relentlessly, and the bombing never stops, day or night.

• Hunger devours Gaza’s children, and bread and water have become a daily battle for survival.

• Thousands of families have been left homeless, and my own family is among them, we were forced to flee south just days ago, and we still have no shelter to protect our children.

Amid this devastation, I write with an urgent plea:

We desperately need food, a small place to stay, and the most basic means of survival.

Please donate to my family, every contribution, big or small, can save us and grant us one more day of endurance.

Don’t underestimate the power of sharing, spread this appeal, let our voices be heard, and let your humanity be the bridge that keeps us alive.

From Under the Rubble... I Write My Story 🌿

I never thought I would write these words… 😔

I never imagined waking up to endless screams,

Running barefoot through smoke and fire,

Searching for my mother among the rubble,

Only to find nothing but silence… a heavy silence telling me that no one will answer me anymore. 💔

In one moment, everything changed.

Our home became a memory, my mother’s embrace became the past,

And my father's face, now absent, is the last thing I hold in my memory.

They’re gone… and left my heart burdened with unspoken grief. 😢

But despite everything, we are still here… trying.

I survived with my younger siblings.

Yes, we survived… but who are we after survival?

Children without warmth, without a roof, with no place to return to.

We were displaced to an unknown place, carrying a bag empty of everything… except pain. 🥀

We slept in the open, waking every morning to a life that holds nothing for us,

But despite everything… we keep trying. 💪

I write to you today not to cry, but to ask for hope. 🌱

I ask you to be a small light in this vast darkness,

To extend a hand that can mend what the war has broken in us.

Your donation will give my siblings a chance to sleep safely,

It will provide us with food, shelter, and maybe even a new beginning. 💖

My name is Naser AbuThaher. I’m 18 years old, and I live in Gaza.

Thank you to everyone who has read,

Thank you to everyone who has shared.

You are the proof that goodness does not die, and that humanity has no boundaries. 💚

Last night, we barely survived…

Gaza was burning under relentless bombardment with every kind of weapon. Entire neighborhoods were destroyed within hours.

We were forced to flee our place of residence in the north, and we spent the night on the street until — with great difficulty — we found a car to take us to the south at a heavy price. We carried with us fear, exhaustion, hunger, and suffering, yet still no real safety.

📌 Today, for the first time, a UN investigative committee has officially confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. This is not just a report — it is a testimony to the death, displacement, and destruction we endure every single day.

We are living this genocide moment by moment… our lives are hanging by a thread.

Please, help us survive. Your donation could save my family from hunger and homelessness. 🙏🇵🇸

Voice of Gaza students

$25 can change the future of a university student in Gaza. After the failure of our fundraising campaign for the Architectural Design course, we turn to you today, hoping for your donations for next month's rent at Isnad Foundation. $2500 sustains more than 100 students in Gaza. Can you imagine this amount supporting this many people? Work spaces and providing electricity and internet in Gaza are very expensive, and students cannot afford the cost. That is why Isnad exists, to provide these resources to them and grant them a safe and free educational environment. With a small donation from you, you can make a difference in the life of a citizen in Gaza.

Contribute to opening closed doors And be their hope

$13,552 out of $15,000, within 7 days, this goal will enable Isnad to continue supporting 120 students from Gaza, but if it is not achieved, all the effort we have put in to support the students will be in vain. I hope you will contribute by participating with your family and donating.

$13,584 We are still very far from our goal as the announced rent payment deadline approaches. We have difficult days ahead of us and every donation makes a difference in a university student's journey.

We are only 4 days away from paying the rent and our debt of more than $1400 is standing in the way. The students you have always seen working hard to study are now feeling extremely desperate. We need your help and these pictures are of students who need your help!!

Will you leave them alone without a breadwinner? Make a share for yourself now, take out today’s salary for Gaza. Make this a strike and take its money to Gaza, donate $25 now!!

$13,700

With 4 days to pay the rent, students are feeling bad and very worried about this matter. We have a big goal to achieve in a very short period of time. Please donate and share the post with your friends.

isnadfoundation

$13,700/$15,000

These are the last 3 days, and the question is whether the students will be able to complete their education at Isnad Foundation or not. This depends on your donations. We have $1,300 to achieve the goal, and I do not think we are close to achieving it. Therefore, 120 students will be deprived of benefiting from the services provided by Isnad, such as free workspaces, training courses, and educational workshops for them.

isnadfoundation

$13,730/$15,000

Tomorrow, the rent will be due, and I only have $730 and some additional dollars in PayPal. I will try to convince the landlord to take half this month and give me another week to complete the other amount. But now we also need $270 to complete half the amount, which is $1000. This amount must be obtained tonight to pay it to the landlord tomorrow. The dreams of 120 students depend on this amount right now, and it's the last night. Please donate what you have, my brother, and don't be the reason for destroying the dreams of these students!!!

isnadfoundation

$13,777/$15,000

The last day and we must get $232 urgently and urgently for the students of Gaza. I do not know how this will be done, but what I know for sure is that we must get this amount. Donate, share, do what you can, save the educational process in Gaza.

isnadfoundation

$13,823 / $15,000

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new month and I have to pay the rent and we haven't even cried halfway through it. We need to help the students. The high school exams are 6 days away and they need a place to take the tests in northern Gaza because most of the paid places have been displaced to the south for fear of the occupation's threats. There is only "Isnad" left in Gaza and the students in Gaza need us today!! We promised not to leave northern Gaza and to continue to help the students. There is still $177 left to cover half of the rent and I will have to pay this amount today so that the landlord will allow us to complete half a month. Contribute what you can, my friend, because the future of students in northern Gaza depends on your donation.

isnadfoundation

$13,860 / $14,000

$140 left in 5 hours to cover rent and help 120 students in northern Gaza complete their education! A relatively small amount compared to the impact it will have. Donate what you can, as time is running out.

🕊 Nadin’s Hope: A Mother, A Memory, A Future

Hello, my name is Nadin. I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate, a wife—and now, a mother.

I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small studio, of creating art that told stories. I used to think about colors and fonts and the future.

Then, the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.

On October 22, 2023, I learned I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home, killing 25 members—his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews—entire branches of our family in seconds.

We were displaced twice. Everything was gone—home, safety, routine, rest.

A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib, no celebration—not even stillness. But she arrived, quietly and beautifully. In her eyes I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.

Now, our days are shaped by decisions that could dismantle the future we are trying to build together.

Today, Israel’s government is discussing plans for a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City and southern regions. The stated aim: to eliminate Hamas and later hand governing control to allied Arab forces—not Israel—but with no clear path to peace or normalcy.

The humanitarian fallout is devastating. More than 61,000 Palestinians have died in this war; hunger and malnutrition are rising sharply. Hospitals in north Gaza have shut down, and 193 people have now died of starvation, nearly half of them children.

Aid remains blocked, water is scarce, and many risk dying of hunger or disease long before future promises arrive.

We Don’t Know What Comes Next There’s no clear path forward—only uncertainty for our daughter’s life and our ability to survive another day.

My name is Nadin, and I’m a mother from Gaza.

How You Can Help I’m asking for support—not for comfort, but for survival:

Help us meet basic needs so we can breathe, heal, and preserve a world for our daughter.

Support us as I try to stand again on my own feet—even a glimmer of stability matters.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. If you can give—thank you. If you can’t—just sharing this post is a lifeline I will never forget.

My niece Toleen died from malnutrition at just two months old.

Please look at us with mercy and donate if you can.

Tulin came into our lives after five long years of hoping and waiting.

Malnutrition took her before we ever got the chance to watch her grow.

I’ve lost many family members to bombings — but I never imagined hunger would take one too.

The world is devoid of mercy; it doesn’t feel for the children🥺
