After Israel passed a law allowing the death penalty, it can execute Palestinian detainees, many of whom were arrested without due process, and many of whom were children at the time of their arrest.
Israel is a highly egregious form of apartheid, and therefore such laws do not apply to
On the other hand, Israel advanced above the Yellow Line and the bombing increased dramatically and the number of martyrs may have reached 40 several hours ago.
My family and a lot of families are still trapped here, we are still afraid to die, we have been very patient. I got tired and tried please If you can help me, my family, please help me.

Why is no one donating? Why is no one listening to me? I beg you I need your help so much. Please do not leave me if you can donate. Please donate now. Please!
Guys, we just need 250 euros to reach 8,500, please donate to me to save my family, please donate your help me live, please donate and don't ignore! You're the only hope. Please!
As I write these words, my father is going through the most difficult time of his life due to cancer, which could claim his life at any moment because there are no medical teams or sufficient treatment to cure and help him.
I am trying my best to collect as many donations as possible to save my father and get him out of here as soon as his name is added to the list of travelers at the crossing. However, the longer he stays in Gaza, the more we need every donation and every bit of help to save him. Please don't ignore this and be a reason for saving my father's life Please share this post and donate now.
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

Volunteer your time (under the cut)
🩵Mutual aid
Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
🩵Activism
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICE by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info: SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
For several days, meteorologists have warned that heavy rainfall and strong winds could hit the strip today, tomorrow and over the weekend, risking flash flooding and significant wind damage. What is certain, though, is that Gaza is not facing this storm with ready infrastructure, stocked shelters or functioning drainage systems.

Not only have the people of gaza been suffering from two years of genocidal war thats been largely aided and abetted by the rest of the world, but they are now facing storm byron with all the systems that could have helped them get through this time destroyed by the occupation.
Samah @samah-2 is a mother of three trying to make sure her family survives this winter. Her children are not even ten years old yet and the youngest is only an infant who was born during this war. She is aiming to be able to provide warm clothes and food for the daily needs of the whole family, and they need to have enough money to secure usable tents due to the flooding.
Please support this family in any way you can. No amount is too small, and if you cant donate then please share.

Hi, my name is Camille Testa from Saint Paul and I'm fundraising t… Camille Testa needs your support for Emergency Evacuation Needed to Save
This month we have helped more than 80 students get a place in school, pass their exams, complete their university education and get internships.
We also held a 50-hour training course in the field of architectural design and helped students learn the basics of architectural design so that they can play a major role in the reconstruction of Gaza 🙏🏼
We also helped 20 other students by conducting an educational workshop on the importance of content writing and digital marketing 👏🏼
This painting contains a special feedback from our distinguished students .
In the end, this is a drawing of one of our students, translation: What made you happy for this degree = I booked a seat in Isnad
All this was thanks to your participations and donations and completely free of charge for students in Gaza
Thank you for your generous donations. Our current goal is to cover the rent for next month and the cost of the training course. If you think this project is successful, donate to help it grow and benefit the largest number of students in Gaza.
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.
If Israel continues its invasion of Gaza without international intervention during this week, prepare for a new chapter of genocide — where entire families will disappear, nearly a million Gazans will be displaced to the south, and Gaza will be wiped off the map before the world's eyes.
After almost 2 years of loss, grief, humiliation, pain & utter suffering under Israeli aggression, I don't have any choices left. The survival of my family and I counts on your support, we would appreciate spreading the link among your social circles and donate whatever you can 🤍
Please, help these young girls to have safety and food. All children deserve these essential forms of support. We are part of a global community and as adults we have a responsibility to the children of Gaza.
My name is Zeina, I am almost 11 years old, and I am the eldest daughter of Ahme… Zeina Alanqar needs your support for Help Zeina’s Family E
Zeina’s campaign certified and verified at @gazavetters list #213, feel free to help them with what you can, they are suffering up until this moment and they cannot face all of this without your help, donate now and share the post if you cannot donate to them.
Israel cuts Gaza's final internet line, plunging it into total communication blackout.
Israel bombed the last main fibre route in Gaza, which means that as of June 12, all internet and fixed-line communication services are now completely cut off, further isolating Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.
I am seeing more and more calls from inside of Gaza for help with eSims as that is currently the only way they can connect internally and with the outside world.
- Buy eSIMs here.
- If you can't afford it, you can donate any amount to this eSIM fund.
The route I would recommend for helping with esims at this point in time is Gaza Online. From their website:
Cash Donations (Preferred)
The fastest and most impactful way to help is by donating cash. 100% of your donation goes directly towards purchasing renewable and limited eSIMs at wholesale prices. These are delivered directly to recipients through our secure digital systems—no middlemen, no delays.
Why Do Cash Donations Make the Greatest Impact?
Through bulk purchasing and direct supplier partnerships, we unlock lower rates and special features that enhance sustainability—like reclaiming unused data and extending subscriptions. Every dollar stretches further, maximizing efficiency and ensuring no resource goes to waste.
Ibrahim tells me there has been bombing all around where he and his family is staying, some 500 meters away. Israel is currently still bombing and increasing their aggression. Young Ibrahim says he is choking on the smoke because there has been so much bombing, and it is very dangerous for him. Additionally, a reminder that his father is still very sick and needs treatment, and this situation is even worse those who are disabled and ill like he is, but the doctors currently in Gaza are unable to adequately help him.
If you can find it in your heart to donate and help save a young soul, please do! YOUR donation could help him get to safety, you can do that! Ibrahim is powerless, but you at home have the power to help. However, if you absolutely cannot spare anything, please share so that someone who is able to donate can see this post!

People here have started to wish for death!!!! Yes, believe me, people here have started to wish for death because of the lack of food and nourishment There are many cases of sudden fainting occurring in Gaza because of the lack of food and drink, so please donate. To feed the hungry in Gaza and to help Iyad as well, share this post. 🙏
I don't know why the world treats us with such brutality. We tell you that we are dying... dying every moment. Please donate to the hungry people here to provide them with food and water through the Ever Mile Foundation, which is run by eyad,Who suffers the same suffering as people, as your donations go to help people in Gaza, and so does eyad as well.
Hi, my name is Naomi, I’m from Texas. I’m organizing this fundraiser for my friend, Wafa, who is in Gaza. This campaign is meant to help her
Go to paypal.me/wafaaresh2 and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
Wafaa's old campaign was shared by 90-ghost
Wafaa's account: @wafaaabd2
Wafaa is Mohiy's ( @mohiygaza21 ) sister. She's one of the many people who have had their gofundme accounts deleted and lost the funds that were waiting to be transferred to her.
If you previously donated to Wafaa's campaign and have received a refund, please donate it to either the chuffed or paypal linked above. Or if this is your first time hearing about Wafaa, please consider donating to her. Even the smallest donation can help Wafaa be able to afford food, water, and evacuation for her family.
Tagging for reach. Please share if you see this. Thank you
My baby Qais is one of the 290,000 children in Gaza now on the brink of death. He was injured in an earlier bombing that struck our tent, but we had no money for proper treatment. Now, after weeks of hunger, Qais collapsed and was rushed to the hospital—his tiny body shaking from severe malnutrition. I am terrified. The UN says 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in the next 48 hours. Please, I beg you with all the pain in my heart: Donate anything you can to help save Qais. Even one act of kindness could be the difference between life and death.
This is our reality now:
1. There has been a full blockade for over two months—no food, no water, no medicine.
2. Qais is too weak to cry anymore—his voice, like many others, is fading.
3. We were turned away once for not having money—now we are being starved to death in silence.
I am a broken mother in Gaza, watching my child slip away. If I could sell my pain, I would. If kissing your feet or cleaning your shoes would save Qais, I would do it without hesitation. Please—this is not just a plea for help, it is a cry from a dying land. Donate whatever you can. Qais still has a chance—but only if you act now.
PLEASE DONATE HERE
If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone? 😭😭💔
DONATE HERE PLEASE
Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭

Hi all, you may not know me but I am a native bee researcher in the eastern US. People like me work to study and protect the 3600 species of native bees in North America, many of which are in severe decline.
We just received devastating news, that unfortunately was not surprising. The Trump administration's proposed 2026 budget is set to defund most of the ecological research happening at the USGS, and that includes zeroing out the budget for the USGS Native Bee Inventory & Monitoring Lab.
Don't know them? Maybe you've seen stunning photos like this:
These gorgeous and evocative focus-stacked photos of native bees on black backgrounds - all of which are public domain - come from the USGS Bee Lab (here's their Flickr). Through these, they've helped bring the beauty and importance of native bees to the public's attention. Hundreds if not thousands of news articles, videos, and publications use these photos.
But that is just one tiny slice of what the USGS Bee Lab does for pollinator conservation. Its primary role is much bigger; they provide technical support, research collaborations, and financial & grant partnerships to federal and state agencies, academic institutions and researchers, and much more, so we can study, manage, and protect North America's wild pollinators. They conduct research of their own that has led to species rediscoveries, and produce invaluable resources that have greatly advanced our understanding of wild bees and our approaches to studying and conserving them. They also provide the essential and irreplaceable service of bee identification. For those who don't know, identifying bees is hard. Sometimes Really Hard. And this lab is one of just a handful of places in the entire country who can identify some of the toughest groups of bees, and who sit on the forefront of breakthroughs on taxonomy and identification that the rest of us in this field rely on. Without this service, agencies and researchers trying to survey and monitor bees in order to track population declines, manage land, and get policy changed are stuck with a lot of nameless bees, severely limiting the usefulness of that data.
Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of bee specimens pass through this lab annually, plus the thousands in permanent storage, from long-term monitoring efforts by state and federal agencies, and researchers like myself. They operate at a greater capacity than basically any other institution doing this kind of work. Few if any bee researchers in the eastern US, or even the country, have not benefitted from this lab's work, and those benefits are passed on to you through being able to protect pollinators and the services they provide both in agriculture and ecosystems.
This lab is headed up by scientist Sam Droege, who has dedicated decades of his life to this cause, and whom I consider not just a research partner but, humbly, a friend. I am utterly indebted to him for helping me get my start in this field, and for the support and kindness he has shown me and every other young professional who is passionate about pollinators. The Lab operates with an insanely small budget already, and a very limited staff, yet the impact they have is exponentially outsized. Losing the USGS Bee Lab would be a devastating blow to pollinator conservation in this country, at a time when native bee species are sitting on the precipice, and sustainable agriculture is non-negotiable for our future.
You can read more about the Bee Lab here. The Lab is not well-publicized, but it's a lifeline for the many dedicated people who work to try and protect pollinators and the environment at large.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Sam Droege has sent out a request for help, and has encouraged us to post on social media. This is what he wants you to do to help us save the Bee Lab.
This is verbatim:
What is Happening:
· The USGS Bee Lab is at risk of being permanently closed due to cuts in the 2026 Federal Budget and looming federal RIF’s
· Specifically, the Ecosystem Mission Area (EMA) budget, which funds the USGS Bee Lab and the Eastern Ecological Science center has been zeroed out
· Thousands of layoffs to hit Interior, National Parks imminently - Government Executive
What you can do
· Write to your representatives, the White House, and the Department of the Interior that they should restore the funding for the USGS Bee Lab
· Send digital or physical letters, write emails, post to social media
What you should be highlighting:
· Personal anecdotes about how the Bee Lab has impacted you or your organization
· How important the research the Bee Lab is conducting is to your state
Contact Information:
1. Representatives: Find Your Representative | house.gov
2. Senators: U.S. Senate: Contacting U.S. Senators
3. White House: Contact Us – The White House
4. Interior: [email protected]
Send a copy of the letter to [email protected]
Pass this email around. Post your response to social media
IT'S OK if you are not a scientist and have not directly interacted with the Bee Lab. Have you seen the lab's photos? Are you concerned about native pollinator declines? Are you aware of any pollinator conservation initiatives or policies in your own state - those almost certainly have drawn, directly or indirectly, from work the Lab has done. Speak about American food production and agriculture, how the Lab's research and collaborations are essential to safeguarding pollination services (this might help reach across the aisle).
Sam urges that these letters, emails, phone calls, etc, must happen quickly - within the next couple days. This information went out on May 8th and that is the day I am posting this. So please, don't wait.
If 'save the bees' has ever meant anything to you, this is the agency that is playing one of the biggest roles in this country in making that happen. Please, contact your representatives, and pass this call to action along however you can. Thank you.
This is not just a photo it’s our daily reality in Gaza.
I am a father of five, living under the harshest conditions imaginable. My children go to bed hungry most nights, and I feel helpless watching them suffer. There is no food, no clean water, and no safety.
I myself am injured from Israeli airstrikes, and my health is deteriorating. I’m in pain, physically and emotionally. I want to provide for my children, to see them smile again, to give them a warm meal — even just one.
What’s happening here is not a natural disaster. It is forced starvation. It is the slow death of innocent people, especially children, because they are being denied food and aid.
Your donation can change everything for us. Even a small amount can feed my family for a day. It can help me get medicine, water, and the bare essentials to survive.
Please, if you have anything to give, I ask you to open your heart.
Please Donate now:👇👇 👇
