while i am very scared for my american friends, especially my trans, immigrant, and muslim friends, i can't help but remember that the genocide in gaza is still happening. they are already facing the worst case scenario that we will only get a short glimpse of while trump is in office. and he promises to do worse, hard to fathom as it is.

i never had any faith in the democratic party but with the federal government now entirely run by republicans i hope we can all wake up to the fact that we cannot trust it to help anyone. we have to care for each other ourselves.

which is why i'm asking you guys to donate to palestinian, lebanese, sudanese, and congolese fundraisers whenever possible. this post will center on my friend @ahmedpalestine. he's a close childhood friend of hazem khalil, who i also posted for in the past, but his campaign isn't receiving even a fraction of the support. he's vetted by @bilal-salah0 and gaza-evacuation-funds and he's a diaspora palestinian who immigrated to europe for college.

ahmed's cousin was martyred in september. they're stuck in al-maghazi camp on the coast of gaza, where there is a tank invasion and intense bombing. he told me he is now struggling to focus on school because every waking moment is spent worrying about his family. franky it's insulting that has to continuously beg online. he has no time for this. we have to do it for him

Tell trump…I want him to know it was me! #VirginiaRedistricting

Right after Trump announced his gerrymandering power grab, Virginia Senator Louise Lucas responded by drawing a new Congressional map with a ratio of 10 Democrats to 1 Republican.

LGBTQ+ ally Abigail Spanberger trounces anti-trans Republican to win Virginia governor’s race

The Advocate is reporting live from Spanberger's election night victory event.

“Tonight, Virginia chose progress and inclusion for all by electing Abigail Spanberger as Governor," Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said in a statement. "In the face of millions of dollars in anti-trans ad spending by her opponent, Governor-elect Spanberger ran a campaign that never sacrificed her belief in equality and freedom for all Virginians. That commitment isn’t new; Spanberger has long been a champion for a Virginia that works for everyone — from her service in Congress to her unwavering commitment to protecting every Virginian, including LGBTQ+ people."

WATCH: Protesters in Raleigh dropped off letters at the state legislature Monday denouncing a post-election Republican power grab that seizes powers held by offices that Democrats won in November. Senate Bill 382 was supposed to be a hurricane relief bill for western North Carolina, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene in September. But it mostly contains attacks on the powers held by offices like the governor, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction — which were all won by Democrats in November’s election. It also takes oversight of elections away from the governor’s office. Demonstrators during the “Moral Monday” protest in Raleigh likened it to a “coup,” saying that it undermines the will of the voters. Gov.-elect Josh Stein has condemned the bill. So has outgoing Gov. Roy Cooper and former Gov. Pat McCrory — a Republican. Cooper vetoed the bill, but Republican lawmakers in the House are expected to consider overriding the governor’s veto Wednesday in Raleigh.
