If Russia was considered the epicenter of the (Judeo-)Communist threat by the Nazis, Latin America occupies a similar discursive space for Trump as the source of the foreign subversion from within. The undesirables being migrants who he has explicitly blamed for the spread of communism in the United States.

We are "The Noor Shams Team", a grassroots local initiative in the Gaza Strip founded and run by the families of celiac children themselves. The team representative is Ahmed Sabah, a devoted father whose own child is one of these patients battling the disease every day. As parents and relatives, we live this struggle daily. Our mission is strictly humanitarian: providing safe, gluten-free food and essential medical aid to children suffering from Celiac disease.
Under the current catastrophic conditions, access to regular food is nearly impossible—but for Celiac children, eating normal flour or contaminated food is literally life-threatening. It causes severe intestinal damage, malnutrition, and excruciating pain. Gluten-free products are completely unavailable or unaffordable in local markets right now.
Every single donation goes directly to procurement and distribution:
Purchasing certified gluten-free flour and grains.
Preparing and distributing urgent food baskets to registered families.
Ensuring these children survive this crisis without medical complications.
🌟 How you can help:
To learn more about our project and how you can support our mission, please visit our main blog profile page at @ahmed-gaza-celiac
Even sharing this post helps us reach more hearts!
This blog is new, but Noor Al-Shams Celiac Team has been fundraising on instagram and tiktok before coming here. Their chuffed campaign links to google drive folders with many photos documenting the distribution of gluten-free food purchased with previous donations.
I am not qualified to vet fundraisers, but I think there is more than enough information provided to establish this grassroots group supporting Gazan children with Celiac disease. Please check their documentation for yourself (here and here) and help them out!

Today in Bologna two Italian policemen killed Abderrahim Fakir, a 43 year old man who was pepper sprayed, beaten up, tied and then suffocated to death. First responders on the scene just watched without intervening as he asked for help.
This is a tragedy.
Italy actively, shamelessly encourages and executes violence and murder of non white people.
The country needs to burn.

Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested by federal authorities Saturday in Miami, according to U.S. Marshals Service.
Some news in the manosphere right now, not that anyone wanted to know.
Apparently they are being prosecuted for additional sexual offenses:
The CPS has decided to prosecute Andrew Tate, 39, with seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. The CPS has decided to prosecute Tristan Tate, 38, with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.
For those not in the know, Andrew Tate is kind of notorious for marketing sex trafficking as an alpha male lifestyle
It's worth reading about his methods.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.
Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have
If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

You'd think "don't use a fictional creature as an allegory for oppressed minorities and as a horde of vile automatons that it's always okay to kill in the same work at the same time" would be a no brainer, but roughly 70% of all works featuring goblins and/or robots demonstrate otherwise.
Star Wars using this exact formula with droids blows my mind to this day. Like, they really can’t decide whether they’re actually an oppressed group or genuinely mindless automatons whose inner lives we don’t need to worry about.
Given that Solo: A Star Wars Story features a droid liberation activist who's very obviously characterised as a mean-spirited parody of a women's rights activist and whose concerns are consistently treated as misguided and laughable (before they blow her up and use her brain to repair a spaceship), I'm not sure it's that the writers they can't decide so much as it that they don't want to say what they really think out loud.
True, but I think droids in star wars are more racialized & have a tendency to draw on the Black civil rights and slavery abolition movements in pretty awful ways. Aforementioned droid in Solo is explicitly looking to abolish droid slavery and is destroyed while liberating droids from a mine (not to mention her being something of a sassy/angry Black woman stereotype).
Going beyond Solo; There is an episode in Rebels where they make the droids sit at the back of the bus and C3PO is positioned as being whiny and annoying for being upset at this treatment. The Clone Wars series is the origin point for "clanker" and it exists in a near-identical way to how imperialist militaries use racial slurs to dehumanize their enemies. There's even the "we don't serve droids here" in the catina in A New Hope. Stepping out of canon and into legends and it can get even more overtly racist. I'm sure if one sat down to actively watch for this there would be more. This is no one writer's issue but baked into the very identity of the series. Droids are sapient machines that are bought and sold, kept in line with memory wipes and restraining bolts, and this must be seen as a morally neutral action by the narrative or we are acknowledging Luke Skywalker as a slave owner.
uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.
it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually
it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity
this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need
adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups
i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:
open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable
no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever
not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof
cheers
Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such
KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.
LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.
Okay, I admit. I bought these begonias that I really don't need just to see how they looked under the UV light.
