In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

the lowest tier, which costs 9 dollars, offers a week of connection while the very next, 16 dollars, will provide a full month of contact with the world to someone who desperately needs it. this is not some idle step. an entire month is a huge length of time for people who are displaced, terrified, and isolated.

The IDF also designated Al Mawasi a safe zone

i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know i will see the day palestine is free and i will see her shake the dust of occupation from her heels. i know the old people and children of her history will return to their ancestral homes, their houses, their valleys, their olive groves, not to to set their roots down again because their roots have always been there, will always be there, but to grow again, bear fruit for harvest, and never be cut down again. i know palestine will be free. i grieve for palestine and dream of palestinian joy.

* didnt know how to sum this up well but like from what generation was the most recent person to immigrate to your country from, from your direct line (parents, grandparents etc) so if your mother’s parents immigrated and your father immigrated directly then it would be a parent (your father)

pls reblog for sample size etc

follow for more occasional useless polls :)

The "Stop Jewish Hate" Super Bowl commercial was not bought by Israel, but by an American-based nonprofit. It is only about anti-Jewish hate crimes in the United States. It does not mention Israel, Zionism, Palestine, or anything about the wars and genocides in the Middle East. Anyone saying otherwise is spreading disinformation.

Some important info from @clearancecreedwatersurvival

While the Super Bowl happened, and Israel paid to run an ad, they also bombed Rafah. Rafah is the southernmost part of Gaza to where over one million people were displaced.

*i regularly update this post with any new info i find so please always reblog the original post*

UPCOMING PROTESTS

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

palestinians were massacred and bombed to drive them out of the north of gaza, and they were told that the south was safe. then israel wiped out the south of gaza and promised safe evacuation if palestinians fled to rafah which is now being violently bombed as well. if israel's goals aren't clear here, i don't know what else could prove it

quds news network reported that israeli strikes targeted a mosque in the yebna refugee camp in rafah and it is no coincidence that people are saying that they are hearing less abt palestine as the days go on, well its because israel is murdering the brave journalists who have been sharing the atrocities

People in Gaza have been saying this would happen since the very start, as soon as the occupation started corralling everyone into the southern part of the strip they said this would happen. We watched it happen as the “safe” zones grew smaller and smaller and every time Rafah was targeted by air strikes even before this. And no one who could actually stop this lifted a finger. It’s been 129 days.

"capitalism breeds innovation" was only ever true in the mid-2000s when cell phones kept getting more and more fucked up

^ healthy and diverse breeding practices

^ wild inbreeding in pursuit of uniformity and an arbitrary ideal of breed "purity" resulting in gross health complications

Pretty decent analogy. One of the reasons that gets cited most often for why everyone is getting rid of headphone jacks in phones is that they're in the way of making the phone thinner. There's no reason phones need to keep getting thinner! It makes heat dissipation worse and the phone more fragile. Of course, it does probably mean that your phone breaks more often meaning you always need to buy a new phone, but people bought new phones all the time, before, and I'm not convinced it will actually increase sales since the price tags are so high now.

They're fucking up their phones in pursuit of metrics that no one should care. Dog breeding is a pretty apt comparison.

Right now Israel's bombing Rafah, the last refuge for a million Palestinians, where they were previously ORDERED to evacuate to and are now trapped in while the US news cycle is dominated by Big Football Game And Celebrities In Attendance (at which Israel also aired a million dollar propaganda video). I wish I could say this is unbelievable.

My entire twitter feed is people in Rafah saying they’re terrified, saying their good byes, and asking us to remember them in our prayers. Rafah is facing a massacre. It’s a genocide. We will not know the number of deaths until the morning.

ALERT: We’ve received several reports of the FBI visiting activists in response to their social media posts criticizing Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. We want you to #KnowYourRights if approached by federal law enforcement (🧵 thread)

The FBI’s discriminatory targeting of people who speak up for Palestinian rights on social media is an attempt to silence popular criticism of Israel. You have a right to speak up against genocide. You have a right to refuse to speak to FBI agents without an attorney present

Our partners at the @ADC have also documented a disturbing uptick FBI targeting and intimidation of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims since October: We have received multiple calls today regarding Palestinian nationals detained by ICE, and/or visited by the FBI. The FBI has also visited multiple mosques today, in different states, as well as Arab inmates. This is a troubling trend.

#KnowYourDamnRights: Know your rights if you’re ever approached by law enforcement! Read this booklet by our partners at

@theCCR “If An Agent Knocks”

And our partners at the @NLGnews 's Know Your Rights booklet for dealing with law enforcement: https://t.co/5scK7eb8Ba

spacelazarwolf on his second blog engaging in genocide denialism

the only reason you would think comparing the genocide in gaza to the holocaust is "holocaust inversion" is if you think palestinians are guilty of the holocaust btw

in addition to likening the Palestinian resistance to Nazis, Zionists also engage in revisionism about the Nazi Holocaust itself: literally whitewashing Nazis to instead blame the Holocaust on Palestinians

actual Nazi apologism and Holocaust revisionism. by Zionists. they whitewash Nazis to smear Palestinians as worse than Nazis (and also launder the reputations of the Nazis' West German successors and other complicit states)

but even taking “holocaust inversion” at its absolute most generous (you shouldn't), it's just the Zionist routine that it's innately antisemitic to mention the Shoah in the same breath as the Zionist genocide of Palestinians, or to recognize Zionism as the colonial genocide of Palestinians in the first place. this is part of a more general strategy of redefining antisemitism to browbeat supporters of Palestine

meanwhile, Zionists will compare themselves to Nazis when being honest about exterminating and dispossessing Palestinians:

even explicitly modelling their siege on Gaza to the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto—

(haaretz, during a 2002 siege on Gaza)

and Holocaust survivors and their descendants also, in fact, Invoke The Holocaust when decrying the Zionist genocide of Palestinians

“Holocaust Inversion” is just a phrase to demonize Palestinians and run interference on their supporters. that's all

or in the same breath as any other genocide, for that matter—even the colonial genocides, settler expansion, and race laws which Nazis explicitly modeled. even in the same breath as the Imperial German genocides against the Herero and Nama peoples, on whom German colonizers directly developed military, technical, and eugenicist methods/ideology of Nazism. but their genocide and suffering is deemed unworthy even of mention next to our suffering in the Holocaust—this is a white supremacist valuation fyi

Happy Labor Day. Today I learned about probably the first strike to happen IN SPACE.
