Wren. 32. Canadian. She/they. Mostly reposting political shit until the genocide in Palestine is over. Don't forget kids: politics influences every single aspect of your life.
I'll keep this short: Nour's campaign has been stagnating and Tumblr keeps banning her accounts. If you can, please consider donating. She has five young children to care for (one immunocompromised), and many members of her extended family—who were already poor before the war broke out—now rely on this fundraiser to make it through the winter.
This fundraiser is Nour from Gaza, her husband, and their 5 children: Muhammad,… Gz Thrift needs your support for Help Nour's Family Rebuild
A GAZAN born in 2005—the median age in the Strip is 18—has survived two Israeli ground invasions: At age four, they lived through Operation Cast Lead, when an invasion combined with aerial assaults left 1400 Palestinians dead. At age nine, they witnessed Operation Protective Edge, when another invasion and round of bombings killed 2200 Palestinians. Such a person has also lived through a series of air-only assaults: Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012 (when they were seven), Operation Guardian of Walls in 2021 (when they were 16), and smaller but still deadly engagements last year and again this month. A harrowing life, entirely spent enclosed in an area less than half the size of New York City and with the third-highest population density in the world.
Dalia Muhisen's GoFundMe to escape the genocide in Palestine is at 75%! If just 90 more people donate around 100 euro, Muhisen and their family can escape this holocaust.
Go, donate if you can

Hello everyone, thank you for taking a moment to read our story.
I am Hazem Shawish, and I am trying to save my family from this war.
We live in Gaza, where we face significant challenges due to the current situation.
My family consists of 11 members, including my mother, two daughters, four sons, and three children.
Hello everyone, I hope you take a minute to read our story.

In the shadow of conflict, our family has faced unimaginable hardships. The passing of my father, a victim to the cruel grasp of hunger and inadequate healthcare, left a void in our lives, underscoring the fragility of our existence here. My brother, Samer, battles bipolar disorder, a condition exacerbated by the ongoing war and the severe shortage of essential medications. Without access to the necessary treatment, his life is at risk, and we live in constant fear for his well-being amidst the chaos that surrounds us. These personal tragedies have deepened the urgency of our situation.
Every day is a struggle for survival, and each night is filled with prayers for a brighter tomorrow. We hold onto hope, believing that one day the clouds will dissipate, and we will find the peace we long for.
Our home, which was a sanctuary for us, was destroyed, forcing us to live in a state of uncertainty and fear. We have lost the laughter of our children.
Our entire neighborhood In Gaza Before and after
we had a supermarket that helped as to live and earn money, but it was bombed and we have nothing now, pic of our supermarket
We also face psychological challenges, as we have lost our father, and my brother Samer, who needs expensive medical treatment, is facing imminent danger. My mother, who has endured so much, fears losing another child. We are all suffering from malnutrition and contaminated water.
We dream of moving to Egypt to find safety, where our children can pursue their education.
We seek your support as individuals who understand the value of compassion and community.
Thank you for listening to our story, for your understanding, and for standing with us.

I support a family consisting of my young children and my mother
I am speaking to you today with pain squeezing my heart and sadness filling my heart for reaching this stage of misery and sadness ..
My house in the Shujaiya neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip was completely destroyed, where my memories and the memories of my children were .. I fled as a displaced person to the southern Gaza Strip in Deir al-Balah in a miserable tent with my mother, children and wife ..
Hello my dear friends
My name is Hatem Ali hellis from the northern Gaza Strip
I support a family consis… Hatem hellis needs your support
Hunger and deprivation have eaten away at my children and forced them to leave their school desks because of the war for the second year in a row
Our tent is miserable and needs to be renovated for the winter
I am turning to you asking for help and donations as much as you can to help me take care of our daily needs of food and medicine and to renovate our tent to protect us from the harsh winter cold ..
I also hope to collect enough money to be able to escape to Egypt as soon as the crossing opens
Despite my sadness and pain to ask for help, circumstances forced me to do so and all my hope is in you and everyone who sees my campaign to donate to me
I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.
We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.
Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too became rubble. Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.
Dear friends around the world,
Greetings to you from Gaza, the land of pe… Heba Nasef needs your support for Helping Heba Family : Escaping
If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.
when did we as a society start allowing a sandwich to cost sixteen dollars? eighteen? I know I've paid twenty-one dollars for a sandwich at this point. is this just the world now? sandwich prices don't come down like gas prices. they go up & up & up. good luck to us all
So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.
Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”
It’s a reminder, I guess, that they’re coming for all of us. The fash and the white supremacists will not make nice distinctions between the queers when they put us up against the wall. There is no gatekeeping, no label-policing, no purity-purging and no assimilation that any of us can do that will save us. They want us dead, and while they’ll start with whoever is most vulnerable at any given time, they’ll get around to all of us eventually.
Queer solidarity means all of us because the fash are coming for all of us.
ANYONE who is trying to divide our community is a fucking Fed. That includes other queers who like to argue about who is and isn’t “allowed” in our community.
the collective "work together to block it out signs up to block it out" and urgent "we need help" walkie talkieing from staff for backup to the location while joe in the background is talking about how "democracy has prevailed" and "democracy must be preserved" and how "we're at an inflection point in history where the decisions we make now will determine the fate of our nation and the world for decades to come" before he starts talking about trump fine people both sidesing charlottesville as his personal moral inflection point… unreal
can't embed a second video inline to a reblog but here's the moment he says on both sides. like if you can't see that this is genocide whitewashing propaganda from someone who just signed off on an additional $20B in weapons… this is not a good faith conversation
Can't wait for the uniqueness of the holocaust to be a topic of importance in a political campaign in america in 2024. That's how it should be. That's normal
It's true, the Holocaust isn't unique, it holds the largest impact because it is the most recent one, at least for jews, given time other genocides will overshadow it, and it should be taught in the same vein as other historic atrocities.
There was the Effacer le tableau.
The Hutu massacres of the first Congo war.
The Rwandan Genocide.
The Bosnian Genocide.
The Isaaq Genocide.
The Anfal campaign.
The Gukurahundi.
The Cambodian Genocide.
The East Timor Genocide.
The Ikiza.
The Bangladesh Genocide, which may have a repeat very soon.
The Holodomor.
The Great Leap Forward.
The Armenian Genocide.
I can go on.
To limit education to but one atrocity, when all of these happened in the same century is an attempt to reframe or even hide these atrocities, for instance I have seen many socialists defend both the Holodomor and the Armenian Genocide, it does those being educated a disservice by treating the Holocaust as unique while surrounded by a myriad of other heinous genocides.
I mean the context in the screenshot provided is obviously correct and vindicates what Walz is saying. Someone screenshotted that as proof Walz was wrong because they could not read the words in it, just that it somehow disagrees with them.
He fucking says, right there, "to exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students' ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and ability to apply them elsewhere," that's the quote that this thread's OP and Twitter OP both looked at and got enraged by without reading! Guess what? If you teach people the Holocaust was completely unique and unprecedented and unrelated to any other patterns of behavior, the take-home lesson is that it might as well have been done by space aliens and there's no reason to be concerned with what humans are doing!
and by divorcing the Holocaust from all other genocides, it also allows people to not have a framework of other mass atrocities, which surprisingly enough seems to make them believe that the holocaust could have actually NOT happened, considering how they don't have a framework about how often atrocities happen.
the follow-up here is that when walz taught his class of sophomore high school students about the holocaust, he had them extensively study other genocides and the social conditions that preceded them. the class wrapped up with a group project trying to predict where the next genocide was most likely to take place
(this was in 1993)
and where did they collectively conclude the next genocide was most likely to happen?
Rwanda.
if, like me, you can't remember the date of the Rwandan genocide off the top of your head, it kicked off in April 1994.
So ... when Tim Walz says that studying the Holocaust as part of a pattern is vitally important, he is not talking out of his ass.
Netanyahu has reiterated that Israel will not accept a ceasefire deal that involves an end to Gaza's illegal occupation by the IDF. It's tempting to reduce this to Netanyahu's personal malevolence, but his intransigence is a crystal-clear reflection of the Israeli state and of the logic that has propelled it since 1948. Israel wants land, settlements, colonies. It will pursue expansion at the end of the sword, and will consume tens of thousands of Palestinian, Lebanese, and Arab lives to do it. The only thing that will stop this war machine is concerted resistance, both in the Middle East and in the West. Anything that will frustrate and hinder the operation of the Israeli military and state is a necessity.
