LESTAT & CLAUDIA Interview with the Vampire (2022–)

The meaning of international law is to allow the imperial core to act with impunity while punishing anyone they deem as going against their interests. The imperial core lead by the united states created the current international order; of course they would never implicate and indict themselves. Either imperialism, the usa, and "international law" goes or we all go.

The US government doesn't even bother trying to justify this anymore, and how could they? What has Cuba EVER done to us? Allowed Russia to station missiles there in response to us ALSO stationing missiles near Russia? Half a century ago? This is reprehensible, it's murderous and unprovoked, they only still stand because their system is simply far more effective at supporting its people than ours is, and that's the threat our government fears.

[occidentalist]

Liberals really want u to believe that sanctions are the more humane route for empire to bully its enemies into submission when in reality unilateral economic sanctions have a death toll comparable to literal military conflict.

Well over half a million people die needlessly every year as a direct consequence of sanctions. Sanctions aren’t a slap on the wrist for governments you don’t like, they’re first and foremost an attack on a people and their ability to live. There is no way for the west to impose its will upon a sovereign nation that does not cause mass suffering for its people. None. And once you realise that, you realise just how ghoulishly evil the average western liberal sounds when they advocate for more of that suffering, or balk at the assertion that sanctions on ‘evil’ countries should be lifted.

You want people to die, horribly, for not living how you think they should live, or worse, for living under governments that are supposedly oppressing them. Least you can do is own it.

I normally don't make posts like this but an imam in my community was just kidnapped by ICE earlier this week.

Clifton Mosque imam detained by ICE at asylum check-in

Ayman Soliman's longtime asylum status was revoked in December.

He was granted asylum 10 years ago and had his status suddenly revoked without cause in December. He's been working as the first Muslim chaplain at the local children's hospital and is an beloved faith leader and advocate in the city.

He fears for his life if he's deported to Egypt. I've called my representatives and urge other Cincinnati residents to do the same. For others, please consider donating to his legal fund.

The Sameer Project campaign in the South Gaza needs your support

Their campaign needs about $3,600 to $5,000 every day just to cook 250 meals and prepare 10 pots of lentils or bulgur. Medical work adds another $5,000 every 10 days. Now, water trucks are becoming a top priority—but those come with a hefty price tag too. On top of it all, they have to hire a lot of labor, which has to be paid in cash.

They need to reach at least $10,000 a day for the South campaign to provide some of each of those. Please donate today and share with your family and friends:

The Sameer Project is also running a medical service point in North Gaza

Medical Campaign x Sameer Project

Medical Care: The Sameer Project in Honor of Mosab Ali

The Sameer Project x Translating Falasteen has been supplying medication, treatments, visits to doctors, wound care, making specialist appointments, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and collecting documents to facilitate evacuations in both the North, Central, and South of Gaza for one year. Depending on the patient, location, and type of help needed we have been supporting medical care from our North and South campaigns. Now, as the situation is deteriorating and we are stepping up to do more, we have decided to make a focused “Medical Care” campaign. In addition to our South medical point we are opening up a new medical point in the North, in the over crowded and underserved Port Camp. This medical point: the “Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project Port Camp Medical Point” will have full service care including a doctor, nurses, a dentist, and a physiotherapist. After the initial installation costs it will be approximately $20,000 to keep it up and running and medication in stock.

defending the commodification of sexual assault, defending the regime of heterosexuality, defending the cultural degradation of women, defending the eroticization and degradation of children, is ultimately why failenniels have beef with so-called “puriteens.” failenniels are increasingly upset that people see through the failed projects of sex positivity and liberal feminism. those ideologies are insufficient, infantile, male supremacist, and reinforce gender hierarchy. they defended a published book that eroticized child predation, they defended a video game that eroticized sexual violence against women. people can very clearly see that liberals are simply trying to intellectualize and obfuscate a retrograde sort of hedonism. they are mad that people don’t accept that violence is beyond critique if it can be presented as a kink. it’s screams from a dying empire.

Last week, the Relief for Rafah (R4R) community kitchen provided a water truck, and cooked and distributed food for the residents of Al-Junaina, Rafah.

R4R need money to continue their efforts providing people with food, water, and medicine in Rafah. Ramadan begins tomorrow, and people need food and water to break their fasts.

Forget BetterHelp. The eternal light of Marxism-Leninism is all the mental health treatment I need

[fadel-dani]

I don't know why all this is happening to me. Every moment I wish for death so that I can end this pain and suffering that I am going through!!!😭

[fadel-dani]

The roof of our tent just ripped from the heavy rain and all the water got in and we were soaked and now I don't know what feeling to tell you should I tell you about my non-stop pain from my injury or my wet clothes? Or how cold I feel? Or when will I be able to have my surgery or how I will sleep tonight with all my clothes soaked in water? I don't know what to tell you!!!!😭😭

[fadel-dani]

I hope you, my friends, will think about me for a moment, think about what is happening to us. Donations are very weak. I hope you, my friends, will donate to me and share my posts. Please, I really need help!!!😭

[fadel-dani]

Please my friends, every euro you donate to me can save our lives, so I ask you, with all my shyness, to help me and share my posts so that everyone can help me undergo my surgery and get rid of this suffering!!!😭

[vampiricvenus]

Please, support Fadel. His situation is terrible and he keeps getting bad thing after bad thing happening to him.

A message from Mohammed Abu Alwan:

Today God has honored me by returning me to my city, Rafah, the fortress of steadfastness, after we escaped certain death due to Israel’s breach of the truce. We went to Rafah, and I was filled with sadness and tears that never left my eyes. It is a very strange and sad feeling to stand on the rubble of your home. It is not only the house that has gone, but the memories, dreams, and ambitions have gone, even the joy has gone and will not return.

Mohammed needs help paying for medical treatment for his wife and young son, as well as transportation and food. Your assistance is really vital as this family fight to restart their lives.

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

[gothhabiba]

Mohammed is planning to distribute food parcels, each containing one liter of vegetable oil, one kilo of sugar, one kilo of rice, one kilo of lentils, one kilo of pasta, and a can of sauce, to the 70+ families in Mawasi Al-Qarara camp later this week.

Thank you so much for all of your help so far. Any money that you can spare would really help to keep this initiative going in the coming weeks.

[gothhabiba]

The organisers have begun to purchase and hand out food parcels! For the next parcels, they plan to supplement the flour and other essentials with fruits and vegetables. Not only starvation but also malnourishment are killing people in Gaza.

[gothhabiba]

Thank you!!

With your help, MAQMAP has made more than 70 packages of the most essential food items to deliver to families in the camp, as well as delivering cash assistance to orphaned children. The next set of packages will go out tomorrow, inshallah.

We need your help to keep this initiative going!

MAQMAP's next initiative will be to prepare packages containing diapers, baby formula, and menstrual pads!
