Hi everyone, I'm writing on behalf of Eyad from Gaza. Eyad's GoFundMe is vetted #24 on this spreadsheet. He has started an on the ground mutual aid charity to provide necessities to his community. The Ever Mile Foundation.

As we're all aware, aid from humanitarian operations has been blocked by Zionists from entering Gaza for the last 6 weeks and is ongoing indefinitely. The scarcity created by this blockade has skyrocketed prices of basic necessities like flour, sugar, eggs, bottled water, etc and is causing starvation and sickness. Aid operations on the ground are currently the only organisations providing resources.

If you're struggling with the idea of donating to individual family fundraisers, donating to charities run by Gazans on the ground means anything you can give is helping many Palestinians get much needed resources. If, like me, you can't donate, please consider sharing this so this post finds those who can help.

Eyad also wished for me to share these photos of the Ever Mile Foundation at work amidst the genocide. Please, share and/or donate. Everything helps 🇵🇸

CURRENTLY: $5K/$20K USD

okay fresh post. please for the love of god please help my friend mohammed and the 27 family members he's providing for, their campaign is almost stagnant the last two days. there are no jobs, they have no house, they have slept on the streets and been shot and starved by the iof since last october. it is terrifying to see their gfm slowing like this because they literally have no other options for survival.

In case any Americans are not aware of this: the rest of the world is FUCKING TERRIFIED of how this election is going to go. If trump wins, it affects more than just America. If trump wins, it will fuck so many other countries in so many ways.

So first of all, PLEASE VOTE. The rest of the world doesn't get to vote in your election, but we do get directly impacted by your election, so please do what we can't, and vote.

Secondly, remember that you're not just voting for America. You're voting on behalf of the all the countries that will be impacted by this election.

Please, for the love of God, vote blue, and save not just America from a second trump term, but the whole goddamn world.

Oh, so you like GENOCIDE?!

[bundibird]

I know you tagged this as sarcasm, but just a reminder to anyone who is still hesitant over voting blue because of the Palestinian genocide:

Palestinians are literally asking you to vote for Harris.

Theyre asking this, because TRUMP WILL BE WORSE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.

Trump is friends with Netenfuckwad. Netenfuckwad WANTS TRUMP TO WIN. Trump thinks that America needs to go further in supporting Israel. Trump has spoken openly about "finishing" Gaza. Trump and his family have spoken openly about the "real estate opportunities" that are opening up in Gaza.

Don't like genocide? VOTE HARRIS. Palestinians are literally asking you to.

[fell-in-love-with-a-fantasy]

also, polling places aren’t opening the whole day tomorrow. make sure you know when your polling places close and open.

And remember that if the polls close while you're in line, you are still legally allowed to cast your ballot and the poll workers can't turn you away. Even if you get in line one minute before closing time, you are still in line and you have the right to vote.

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

1924: Hitler is convicted for an attempted coup of the government known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He would go on to ascend to power some 9 years later, using the government to convict his political opponents, ban gay and trans people, and conduct a genocide on the Jewish people as he had said that he would.

2024: Donald Trump is convicted of multiple felonies, and is tried in more, including one for his attempted coup of the government on January 6th. He openly states that he intends to pardon himself and his cronies, ban trans people, restrict women’s right to choose, use the federal government to convict his political opponents, and help Israel “finish the job” in conducting a genocide in Gaza.

Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Do not placate yourself: the man has already told us what he intends to do.

[skittlebits]

Any red state can turn blue if enough voters turn out.

[cryoverkiltmilk]

Gerrymandering can be beat by numbers.

Toxic labor culture can be beat by planning ahead and knowing your rights for time off for voting.

Limited polling places can be beat by planning ahead and helping others with transportation.

Long lines can be beat by knowing your rights about when you get in line. Many states require polling places to stay open.

Accessibility barriers can be beat by early/mail-in voting.

Voter purges can be beat by checking your registration status.

Despair can be beat by enthusiasm.

[imsopopfly]

If you don’t wanna stand in line forever or you’re busy on the 5th, remember in most states early voting is going on until the 1st, so you can get it done this week if you want!

[exemplarybehaviour]

Early voting can help defeat a lot of these. It allows much more flexibility. Not every state is the same, but mine has early voting locations open on the weekends AND you can go to any polling place in your county.

Also make sure to use your state's official website to double check your polling place, what you need to vote, and see a sample ballot!

All you "I won't vote for Kamala because of Gaza" people: HEADS UP!

You've got a wannabe dictator speaking to another wannabe dictator every fucking day to PREVENT A CEASEFIRE versus a candidate calling for a ceasefire.

Vote accordingly or I swear to gods you'll wake up one day and look back wishing you could change that one little decision.

It's been reported multiple times that Trump is out there encouraging Netanyahu to keep up the bombing while Harris and Biden are working to end it and yet some people dare to say they aren't going to try to get Harris elected and act like that won't directly result in more deaths and violence in this conflict. Shame on you.

Palestinians are literally out there right now saying Trump winning - which is what will happen if everyone doesn't get out there and vote for Harris - would be a worst case scenario for them (x). Don't you dare appropriate their struggle to try to justify your failure to do everything in your power to stop the Fascist GOP from getting into office.

Vote Blue all the way down the ballot. Lives are on the line. And if the GOP gets in you may not get a chance to vote again.

In case you, a U.S. voter, were feeling iffy about voting for Kamala Harris, here’s a reminder of the shit that went down under Trump…

Yeah, remember when his administration SENT UNMARKED PARAMILITARY FORCES into cities to quell BLM protests? Not “riot police” - tactical, militarized units with identifying tags and numbers deliberately removed or obscured.

Oh shit…. you probably forgot about that, didn’t you? There was so much going on in 2020, it’s natural to block out stuff, but if you have the power and the privilege of voting in this year’s elections don’t you DARE allow this man back in office, especially when he is CURRENTLY saying stuff like this:

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION???

[rosslynpaladin]

In case you were a kid in 2020 and protected from seeing what happened

You need to know what’s at stake here. This stuff? was a TEST RUN. Look up everything that happened those years. Everything you can find from 2016 and Standing Rock to 2020 and Black Lives Matter and the Riots and then look up Jan 6 and the attempted coup on our government.

THEN VOTE

han kang, winner of the nobel prize for literature, refused to celebrate because of the wars: 'With the war intensifying and people being carried out dead every day, how can we have a celebration or a press conference?'

toshiyuki mimaki, co-chair of Hidankyo, the A-bomb survivors’ group that won nobel peace prize, said: 'Gaza right now is like Japan 80 years ago' and had thought the prize would go to those working hard in Gaza, not to Hidankyo.

arundhati roy, winning the PEN pinter prize, in her speech at the british library: "Not all the power and money, not all the weapons and propaganda on earth can any longer hide the wound that is Palestine."

alaa abdel fattah, who was named PEN Writer of Courage by Roy, is in egyptian prison. but in 2021 his mother brought his letters from prison on gaza: Free Jerusalem; tranquil Alexandria, Bride of the Sea; Beirut, the Sheltering Tent — the symbols seem more real than the cities. But Gaza and Cairo are both cities that resist romanticization and so elude song. No one sings to Cairo, but it is the capital of the Arabs. No one sings to Gaza either, but it remains the indisputable capital of Palestine. Both are always present in a crisis. [...]

Do I have the right to dream of escaping to Gaza? Do I have the right to dream of a road to Cairo that passes through Gaza? Does a captive have the right to ask for help from the besieged? I know that these questions show how ancient I am, but I’m an Arab and Palestine’s always on my mind. And, in my defense, I’ll say that I refused to be humiliated in my country, and I never lowered my banners, and it should count that I stood in the face of my oppressors: an orphan, naked and barefoot, and my solace is that the tragedy I’m living is but my share of yours. I call out to you: you are always on my mind."

these are the things the brave and intellectual people of our time are saying. it is possible to be principled. it is always possible to be principled. it is also possible to be less than that—look around and you'll see it in all the writers and artists of our time who are abdicating their roles within humanity. we're living in a time of perfect clarity.

if 3000+ devices exploded simultaneously and thousands got injured, 37+ ppl died in usa or london or france anywhere in the imperial core this website would be talking about it nonstop. my coworkers' relatives are lebanese and he hasn't been able to contact them because everyone's nervous of using anything with a lithium battery. the kids from diaspora are teaching their parents how to turn off find my phone and airdrop and other geolocating options. it's absurd to me people are carrying on like its normal, or just don't care cause c'mon ppl blow up in the middle east all the time, right?

They fucking bombed Lebanon again. People were at a funeral for people killed yesterday. Uniquely evil.

[hotvampireadjacent]

I was confused thinking I must be reading reports over yesterdays act of terror. No they just bombed Lebanon again. Everyone injured and killed labeled Hezbollah by western media. Even if that were true, members of Hezbollah hold seats in places of Lebanon government.

People in the United States really don’t view people they see as Muslim and Arab as humans. So many people cheer for this senseless violence
