Stop for a moment you could be the reason my daughters survive on December 1st.
They say the Rafah crossing may open on December 1st, and for the first time in months, I feel there is one single chance for us to escape this darkness.
I am a father of three little girls: Alma, Lama, and Lina.
Every night they cry from fear and cold, and I can’t protect them the way a father should.
The opening of the crossing is our only path to safety,
and we still need 3770 Euro to reach the amount required to leave. Please DONATE NOW
Your donation — no matter the amount — could change my daughters’ future.
Please help us before this chance disappears, and share so it may reach someone who can save their lives.
by the way, ik everyone is paying attention to politicians' sex scandals, but you should know there was a collapse at one of the copper/cobalt mining operations in the drc with at least 32 deaths. here is an al jazeera link to the story. if you are reading this from a mobile phone or laptop, or if you use a vape, you should be paying attention. these are the people who have suffered for you to have those things. it is suspected that 200,000 people or more have been exploited into these illegal and dangerous mining operations. that is greater than the population of ontario, canada.
below are places where you can financially contribute. if you cant, share the news. tell your friends and people you know about it!
Hope and Healing is a humanitarian initiative led by Team Congo, in close collaboration with… Team Congo needs your support for Hope & Heali
Cobalt is a necessary mineral for rechargeable batteries, used from anything from electric vehicles, to laptops and phones, to disposable vapes.
The vast majority of the world's cobalt is obtained from the Congo, something like ≈70%. Most of these mines are owned by companies in other countries, China being a major stakeholder.
In the Congo, cobalt is sourced from open-pit mines.
The workers are essentially slaves, doing back-breaking labor for menial pay. Many of them are children. This is illegal, but corrupt government officials turn a blind eye. Foreign powers do the same, knowing that their tech industries and profit margins benefit directly from these human rights violations.
Congolese people work these mines without proper equipment or safety measures, constantly in contact with and breathing toxic materials and particulates. Runoff from the mines also gets into local water sources, making them unhealthy to drink.
Always buy used electronics wherever you can. Avoid tech waste; don't upgrade unnecessarily. If you use disposable vapes, please stop. It isn't worth it.
Spread the word. Free Congo from western exploitation!
Please, I beg you — don’t turn away. My little boy, Qais, is among the children suffering in Gaza, where famine is spreading like fire. His tiny body is weakening from hunger, and every day I fear he won’t survive. Your donation today could save his life and keep other children from starving to death.
The famine in Gaza is not a natural disaster — it is man-made, and it is killing children:
1. The blockade has cut off food, medicine, and clean water, leaving families with nothing to survive on.
2. The obstruction of aid means that trucks filled with life-saving supplies are kept from reaching starving children like Qais.
3. The destruction of farmland and markets has erased every local source of food, making hunger inescapable and deadly.
Each of these reasons pushes children closer to death — and my son Qais is among them.
I am a mother on my knees, pleading with you. Qais is just a baby, yet famine may kill him before he ever has a chance to live. Please, I beg you with all my heart — don’t let my child die in silence. Donate now, and help me save Qais from hunger’s cruel grip.
PLEASE DONATE NOW
If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?
DONATE HERE PLEASE
DON'T SKIP, I BEG YOU ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭
While famine and violence are addressed the most - rightfully so - I feel like we underestimate diseases outbreaks that occur when water is contaminated and the surrounding environment is unsanitary and unsafe. Many people fall ill at the same time. They are rushed to the nearest hospital. It is overflowing. There are not enough doctors, nurses, or resources. Their lives are on the line!
This is the case for Sudan. We are in the third (3rd) year of the genocide. Cholera (a bacterial infection in the small intestines due to contaminated food and/or water) outbreaks are taking place! It is the worst outbreak in the past 40 years!
Enough is enough. We need a permanent ceasefire now! Please make some noise for Sudan. Boycott the UAE, donate to fundraisers and organizations, and protest! Consider helping this family of 13. They have been raising funds to evacuate for 2 years, but donations have been painfully slow to the point the family have decided to lower their goal from 20K to 10K so they can pay rent and purchase essentials, such as food, medicine, and supplies! Please donate and share. There is $3,358 left to go! You can match me! I have given $5, but you're more than welcome to give any amount!

What's frustrating about the Musk and Trump thing is that. Like.
It's a distraction.
Trump cancelling the subsidies to electric cars was a campaign promise. That was basically announced months ago, I think Musk just didn't expect Trump to go through with it
And Musk saying Trump is in the Epstein files, is like. We knew. The files are everyone that Epstein associated with, and Trump has photos with the guy. We all knew.
I mean, it's a lot of flash, but to me it does feel like a bit of a nothingburger?
It feels like a distraction.
Even if the emotions are genuine, Trump might be getting encouragement to blow up the relationship so that people are distracted from the many real problems of the Big Beautiful Bill. And also so that the Left feels like there's momentum on Damaging The Right As A Cohesive Block.
So we're distracted, instead of:
Noticing how many Republicans are saying "I wouldn't have voted yes if I'd actually read the BBB"
Paying attention to the new travel ban
Recognizing that this isn't really moving anything
Calling our senators about the insanely stupid tax breaks in the BBB
And any number of other government actions that are shaping up to have real and lasting impacts on us
Imagine walking for miles in the dead of night, heart pounding, every step toward a place where death might meet you before a loaf of bread. You press forward anyway, because your children are hungry, and you have no other choice. Around you are thousands of others—just as desperate, just as determined. A single mistake, a single step too far, and you could be shot.
All of this—for a bag of beans and a bag of pasta.

Story written by @rumiandroses
This is what Hossam Al-Qazzaz, a father in Gaza, endures just to feed his family.
Every few days, Hossam risks his life to reach an American aid distribution site near the seaside. To even get there, he must leave his home around 2:00 a.m., walk over 14 kilometers, and gather within a one-kilometer radius with thousands of others. As dawn breaks, American soldiers set off fireworks—a signal for the crowd to run the final kilometer. People shove, sprint, and scream in a chaotic stampede. IDF soldiers open fire at those who cross the perimeter. Hossam describes it as a scene from a jungle: desperation, chaos, and fear.
Images: Thousands of starving people rush aid centers in Gaza. Many are shot, just trying to get food for their families. Source
Only the fastest and strongest make it to the food. Those who are weaker, or who are further down the distribution line go home empty-handed. Often, the parcels are snatched away by others, and conflicts break out with knives and sharp weapons. Sometimes, Hossam makes it out with something small—this week, just a bag of beans and a bag of pasta. Other times, he returns with nothing but his life.
"I’m just glad I came back alive," he wrote to us, after his most recent trip to the aid center left him empty-handed.
The situation is only growing more dangerous. Aid is scarce, the crowds hoping to receive the aid are massive, and Israeli forces often fire on civilians trying to reach food. Hossam and his wife Hanan live in constant fear for their own lives, as well as for their children’s safety. They are fighting an uphill battle just to provide food for their children, from posting about their situation constantly on platforms that keep banning them due to “community guidelines” violations (apparently posting about the severity of their situation is a ban-able offense) to doing everything they can to find food in their area, like going to the aid center.
Please, if you are able, donate to help Hossam and his family, so they can buy food and water without having to risk death to get it. And if you cannot donate, please share this post. Gaza does not need more silence—it needs action.

@samiraaymaan A pregnant mother of four, facing malnutrition and asthma, has been displaced several times and is fighting to ensure the safety of herself and her children. Her campaign launched on June 22nd and has received minimal donations. Please support Samira and her family to help them survive and secure the funds necessary for evacuation as soon as the borders reopen.

Earlier this month, we made a post asking for your support in attaining 15 year-old Nour’s monthly treatment for her congenital heart condition. Unfortunately, the funds raised came too late. Nour’s health took a dramatic downturn yesterday, and the doctor said that because she had gone so long between monthly treatments, several of Nour’s heart valves have closed up. She now requires an urgent operation to save her heart.
NOUR WILL DIE WITHOUT THIS SURGERY!! She is dying right now because her heart is struggling to function! She needs this surgery IMMEDIATELY to save her young life!!
The doctor said the surgery will cost $8000 USD. Nour’s family’s GFM is in Canadian dollars, or CAD, of which the conversion rate to USD is $1 USD=$1.41 CAD. This means we need $11,300 CAD in donations in order to pay the equivalent of $8000 USD for her surgery.
We NEED to raise the funds ASAP so Nour has a chance at survival!! We are breaking this sum up into 2 smaller goals to be more attainable. Our first goal to save Nour’s life is to raise $4000 USD/$5656 CAD.
**Progress: $43,187 CAD out of $49,000 CAD**
(or $30,554 USD out of $34,670 USD)
PLEASE HELP SAVE NOUR’S LIFE!!!

We need more reblogs and donations folks!!! It would also be a huge help if you make your own posts with the family’s GFM link!!! Feel free to copy and paste the text in our posts!!!
So far, we have only raised $640 CAD ($449 USD). That is only a little more than 10% of our short-term goal. Nour needs this money EXTREMELY URGENTLY!!!
PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN!!! Nour’s condition continues to deteriorate every day, she NEEDS this surgery ASAP!!!!!
I'm not going to leave this unmentioned as the news isn't doing enough to warn people. The short of it is, the bill which disguises itself as a means to make the web safer was written by The Heritage Foundation to give the FTC full authority on what's deemed safe on the web. Under the new administration, it will be used to censor LGBT content. We know this was the point, as its proponents have shared this exact plan.
It can still be beaten if called and emailed their senators, making it clear what harm the bill will do I'll link pages that can give you a line to your lawmakers, a way to write to them, and also a petition to sign.. The former only takes two minutes, and the latter has a pre-written script if you need it. This is more than important enough for your time.
Even if you're in a red state, some conservatives oppose this bill beleive it will silence conservative voices too, so if you think that line of reasoning would work better on them, go for it!
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr
