While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

there's a lot that can be said about digital tech security culture but a big one is that you should never ever ever plan a direct action over text (even on encrypted messaging apps like signal). when you are organizing offline no-tech meetings to discuss the direct action on an encrypted messaging app like signal you should communicate in code.

plan "a picnic in the woods" not "a meeting to discuss x" (even if x is a codeword like "the dinner party" - we've seen these codewords fail to provide adequate protection in court)

even if just one person gets arrested and these chats are leaked it creates a network of who was involved. a picnic club is harder (not impossible) to prosecute.

remember- never put anything in writing that you don't want read back to you in court.

[wheelie-sick]

there's a lot of fearmongering about some cases where people were convicted on big charges for direct action. there is always a risk of this but a common theme is that investigators get a hold of chats and use messages sent there as evidence.

other things you can do to improve digital security over chats:

keep disappearing messages on in planning chats. turn these on before any message is sent- disappearing messages only applies to messages sent after it was turned on

turn on disappearing messages or delete messages inviting people to planning after you get a response

never imply what you are inviting someone to over text. leave that to your no tech conversation

leave and delete all related chats immediately after the action

if other people aren't leaving then kick them.

use an on the ground chat that is separate to the planning chat. leave and delete the planning chat before the action.

if other people aren't leaving then kick them

divide on the ground chats up into separate roles with one central chat for messages that must be communicated to everyone

remove any arrestees from all chats (including chats unrelated to the action) ASAP.

turn on disappearing messages in signal. set a short timeframe when on the ground. turn this on beforehand- disappearing messages only applies to messages sent after it was turned on.

use a pseudonym on your profile that is unrelated to your real and/or legal name (no abbreviated nicknames of your real and/or legal name)

use a separate name on the ground from any name used previously. don't reuse it.

if you are taking notes digitally use a program like cryptpad that is locked with a secure password and encode everything. delete it after the action. preferably write nothing digitally at all. (physical notepads are just fine. burn the notes after.)

have conversations away from all technology and passerbys who might catch glimpses of what you said. don't use people's houses to have conversations- go to a park (at night when people aren't around) or the woods. leave phones in cars. leave laptops in cars. leave smart watches in cars.

turn on screen lock on signal (requires your password to open signal) accessed by settings -> privacy -> scroll down. use a short time frame.

turn off message previews in signal. accessed by settings -> notifications -> show. select "no name or message." signal notifications can be logged in your phone with the details of your message and may appear on screen if cops access your phone revealing chat names, member names, and message content. even with "name only" they can create links between direct actionists

turn off notification previews on your lock screen.

turn off biometrics on your phone (fingerprint and face ID) - these can be used by cops to open your phone without a warrant

never bring your phone, smart watch, etc. to any direct action.

and, quite honestly, don't plan a major direct action without guidance from people who have done it before. all of the studying in the world will not make you prepared for major direct actions without guidance. if you must plan a direct action without guidance do a lot of reading and start small.

There needs to be a movement of people putting paint in fire extinguishers and super soakers and just covering every security camera that has been put up over the last forty years with paint or just pulling them down with like shovels and hoes or whatever they can do because honestly everyone hates them just get rid of them

This looks like a tool from the Billboard Liberation Front. I’ll bet they have a lot of other nifty tips that could be applicable in this case.

i feel like the rest of that tweet should be shown:

[mahrahpalestine]

The death penalty law for Palestinian prisoners was passed in the Knesset in its first, second, and third sessions.

The detailed provisions of the law will be discussed.

[mahrahpalestine]

More than 10,000 Palestinian prisoners will have the decision implemented against them.

It will be a dark day for the entire world if this decision passes without an uprising.

[mahrahpalestine]

They don't need a law to kill us; they've been executing us without a law since 1948.

Donate so we can survive. We need you.

i know this may be hard to hear but genuinely if you want more solidarity amongst trans people & less infighting & more support for transmasc issues, the best way to do that is to approach people with civility and compassion and assume good faith whenever possible. it's perfectly alright if this is not something you can do—its alright to be angry and hurt and grieving and exhausted and not be able to be a good spokesperson or diplomat. but if you want to be those things, that is the best way to do it that doesn't recreate the problems we are trying to solve. transunity has to be a commitment and a discipline before it can be the norm.

[riddlerosehearts]

the article i just read about lou alcott (louisa may alcott, author of little women) was wild because it was literally like "he preferred being called lou and his whole family always called him that. he never identified with girlhood or liked feminine things and said he had a boy's spirit and longed to be a boy and believed he was a man's soul put into a woman's body. he loved dressing up as a man and passing for a man and being flirted with by people who thought he was a man. he called himself a gentleman and a father to his adopted children and his own father once lamented sending "his only son" to war when he enlisted in the army as a nurse.

...calling her a trans man is reductive and misses the point of her work though lol she was obviously a cis woman who was speaking figuratively because women in the 1800s weren't allowed to wear pants!"

[luvvema]

Peoples biggest defense is always ‘we don’t know how they would identify in this day’ which IS true but I find it interesting how they have little problem ‘justifying’ Lou’s feelings by calling him a cis lesbian or a nonbinary person or a tomboy.

There’s also so much terf rhetoric towards this subject of Lou’s identity that I’m almost certain it’s just discrimination…

“She was confused”

“She didn’t understand the world properly”

“She was trying to escape oppression”

I don’t know why people are so convinced trans men/mascs existing is anti-feminist but it’s not, people literally parrot misogynistic points just to take away their identity and that should say enough.

We don’t know how he would have identified today, however; we DO know how he preferred being referred to in his daily life and how he saw himself in the past. I think he is owed that much.

[autisticexpression2]

Um. Why are you clowns using he/him pronouns for an actual historical person who never once used them in her life?

This isn't a fictional character you can just headcanon however you want. Do not fucking do that. It's incredibly disrespectful. As is reducing the social status of women in the mid 19th century to "they couldn't wear pants."

I think that's enough tumblr for one day.

I think it may have been this article. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/05/little-women-author-louisa-may-alcott-transgender-man/

"Little Women" author Louisa May Alcott was a transgender man - LGBTQ Nation

“I am more than half-persuaded that I am, by some freak of nature, a man’s soul put into a woman’s body.”

Typically when speaking we habitually use he/him pronouns for people who identify as a man and father.

The article says “She described herself, in her letters to him, as “a gentleman at large” and “a man of all work.”… As soon as she was able, she enlisted in the army as a nurse. On the day she left, her father wrote that he felt he was sending his “only son” to war…. Alcott described herself as “father” to the children she adopted… Later, in an 1877 letter to a friend, she described herself as “papa to the boys.””

The Laughing Man - Confessions of a Murderer (GDR, 1966) Posing as West German journalists, East German documentary filmmakers Heynowski and Scheumann pay a visit to the notorious Nazi-turned-mercenary Siegfried “Kongo” Müller, pump him with booze, and get him to talk. Müller fought in Congo’s civil war in the 1960s, and the more Pernod he imbibes, the more fascinating this interview becomes. He asserts that blacks are no better than animals and shares his dream of enlisting in the U.S. Army to fight communism in Vietnam and beyond. He flaunts his military paraphernalia, including the Iron Cross he was awarded in Germany in 1945, and proceeds to deny his earlier statements about civil killings, the ethics of war, and the defense of Western libertarian values. This documentary tour-de-force is interspersed with pictures of Müller and his comrades proudly posing with severed skulls, and it touches on other Nazis who are active in Africa as well as American world dominance.

Erin Reed's updated map

Anti-Trans National Legal Risk Assessment Map: Feb 2026

The situation continues to deteriorate when it comes to transgender youth care. For adults, we see Kansas as the newest state added to a "Do

Short summary of updates:

The situation continues to deteriorate for transgender youth care, and the risk profile for adults has shifted as well, with Kansas now added to the “do not travel” category. For adults, expanding bathroom bans are driving much of the change—Kansas has escalated due to establishing a bathroom bounty, while Indiana’s ID policy now places it among the harshest anti-trans states in the country. One state improves: Montana, where the state court system has repeatedly blocked or enjoined anti-trans laws under the state constitution. For transgender youth, however, the national picture has grown more unstable. Federal policy shifts, institutional capitulations, and ongoing legal battles have created a volatile patchwork even in states once considered protective. Rather than attempt to track an effectively real-time capitulation crisis, I have elevated every state previously rated below “moderate” to at least moderate risk. In the current environment, no state can reasonably be considered low risk for transgender youth.

None of this shit's going to get better until all of you realize there's nothing that makes you incapable of being a bigot, and there is ESPECIALLY no relationship to womanhood that prevents you from being misogynist.

Every single day I see someone go "but I can't possibly think or act in misogynistic ways, I literally am/was a woman!" and it's the dumbest shit I've seen, every single time. You, yes you, the person reading this, are capable of misogyny, just like you're capable of every other kind of bigotry, just like every single person on earth is.

And if you're reading this and you think "yeah, you tell those losers!" I'm not talking about them, whoever they might be. I'm talking about you.

[status-quo-hater]

I wish that the terms transfeminized + non-transfeminized were more popular. They pretty much perfectly accomplish what TMA/TME are trying to do without stepping on anyone's toes. That being, to talk about how transfeminized people have a largely different experience in cis society from trans people who aren't. Because of being targeted by transmisogyny to a higher degree. I like this phrasing more because it doesn't really paint other trans people as some sort of oppressor class, which has never sat right with me.

I think that non-tfzd trans people are more likely to hold transmisogynistic biases and views (because living in a bigoted society does that) but definitely not to the extent of cis people. And trans people don't really hold gendered institutional power over each other.

Also I find it pretty easy to refer to myself as tfzd despite not identifying as transfem. I'm pretty sure people are perfectly capable of determining if they are transfeminized or not.

also are we fucking with the acronymns TFZD/NTFZD ? ive been trying to use TF & NTF but it really doesnt convey what youd hope in conversation

Those who imagine that they can simply keep their heads down and wait out the Trump administration are deluding themselves. This is exactly what Russians told themselves during the rise of Vladimir Putin.

Trump seeks autocratic power. He won't be satisfied with minor concessions. He will take everything he can. If you do not fight now, you will have to fight later, when he has accumulated more power and you are in a weaker position.

Learn a lesson from anarchist organizing. The first compromise is the last one.

[closet-keys]

The Board of Peace is a new imperialist body being created by US President Donald Trump, who intends to maintain his role as Chair permanently and can only be removed "following voluntary resignation or as a result of incapacity."

The United Nations (UN) Security Council authorized the Board in November 2025 for Gaza reconstruction. However, the Board's charter does not mention Gaza. In a recent press interview, Trump has floated that this body "might" replace the UN, and during the signing ceremony he said “Once this board is completely formed we can do pretty much whatever we want to do.”

Adil Haque, professor of law at Rutgers University explains: “The Board of Peace is a kind of legal fiction, nominally with its own international legal personality separate from both the UN and the United States, but in reality it’s just an empty shell for the United States to use as it sees fit”

[closet-keys]

“They won’t do anything for Gaza. It’s all lies. Anything Israel agrees to certainly won’t be in our interest. Trump, together with Israel, wants to use the Board of Peace to impose their decisions on the world by force. This is about power, control, and domination, without regard for weaker nations like us.”

- Jamal Abu Mukhda from Deir el-Balah

The analysis offered by Palestinians on the ground like Jamal Abu Mukhda is clear-sighted, and supported by all available information. For example, Reuters reports that they recently began recruiting for a massive police force in Gaza and the Guardian obtained Board of Peace contracting records which include plans to construct a 350 acre military operating base in occupied Gaza for a future multinational military force called International Stabilization Force (ISF).

This is an expansion of genocide and global imperialism.

[closet-keys]

Solidarity with Palestinians is essential. It is a moral obligation, and it is also a tactical one. The collaboration between the United States, Israel, and their allies in the global north are continuing the genocide of Palestinians and seeking to operate a global military force on their land. This is the future if we do not stop it.
