the crisis in Congo demands our attention as heavy fighting has displaced thousands of people, leaving families in urgent need! Focus Congo (click for instagram) and Posterity International (click for instagram) are launching a fundraiser aimed to provide 10,000 hygiene kits to those in the Kanyarchinya camp.

this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
my heart absolutely breaks for gaza. imagine screaming for help. for someone to save you and the world ignores you for the most part. shame on anyone and everyone who supports this. where is your empathy.
it really is mind-boggling to me that the only reason i know about the Congolese and Sudanese genocides is because of the tireless work of grassroots activists and advocates posting on social media. I can honestly say that if I didn't have social media and didn't happen to be following Black authors and activists, I never would have known what was happening in Sudan and Congo because it is simply not being reported in the great majority of mainstream media. We're talking millions upon millions of PEOPLE enduring unimaginable pain and devastation with next to no official reporting. And yes that is in huge part due to the level of violence and displacement occurring that is preventing a lot of news from getting out of these countries, but it's also so blatantly due to anti-Black racism and the perception of African Nations as inherently savage and violent. But genocide is not and never should be normal for anyone anywhere. With that in mind, please keep Congo and Sudan in your thoughts. Check out Focus Congo for resources to help the Congolese people on the ground. Focus Congo's MO is a local organisation whose goal is to rebuild homes, rehabilitate land, and provide medical aid, education, and resources to Congo's most affected people. Also, Check out Keep Eyes On Sudan for how to help out and raise awareness of Sudanese people displaced by civil war. According to Sudanese TikToker bsonblast, donations to local food kitchens in Sudan are desperately needed to fight famine. If anyone has other resources specifically for helping Congo and Sudan, please add them and link them <3
Netanyahu can just reject one ceasefire proposal after the other, citing deranged, illogical justifications to allow him to keep massacring Palestinians in this genocide, and apparently no one on god’s earth can stop this maniac?
He insists that continuing this genocide is the only way to free the hostages, when literally the only times hostages were released was through diplomatic means, i.e. a ceasefire.
He insists that his "victory" will only happen when Hamas is eliminated as if "eliminating Hamas" isn’t code for "eliminating Palestinians", because that’s certainly what the past 8 months have proven.
Just know they can stop this at any given point, they’re just refusing to.
I hope it's okay to add this to what you're saying; I'm not Palestinian, and I don't want to talk over you, I am also certain you know all this full well but I think it's an important thing to contextualise the cruelty of it all
The shoot to maim policy is not limited to the simple act of disabling a population, as atrocious as that is. It's essential to understand it in the full context of Israel's genocide, one of the major aspects of which is the blockade. Currently of course, things are far beyond that, but during the time of the March of Return, the blockade compounds the weaponised disabling of innocent protestors.
An essential part of disability activism is ensuring the necessary medical care needed to assist people with disabilities, so when Israel maims and disables Palestinians, they are simultaneously preventing the people they disable from receiving adequate medical care via the blockade.
It's genuinely sickening that Zionists are trying to call you ableist, when Israel itself is participating in what is essentially eugenics; the ableism of disabling people as a military policy, along with doing as much as they can to prevent the people they've disabled from the quality of life they deserve to be afforded.
Again I hope this is okay to say, and if it's not my place to mention it please do say so, I was just thinking as a disabled person that ablebodied people are not going to have any concept of this and that it's important to highlight.
Yes of course, you're completely right and thank you for expanding on the main point.
When we talk about Israeli crimes, nothing should be taken at surface level and there's always layers of genocidal tactics that go into a single act, such as the shoot to maim policy to name one. Israel knows that it has full control on the kind of medical care that these injured protesters will receive as well as has complete control on whether it will let these injured protesters get out of Gaza to get the medical care needed or not, which it has historically denied them the right.
So thank you again, this definitely needed to be said because people need to recognise the multiple layers to Israel's cruelty which it has always enacted with complete impunity. We sometimes just run out of breath trying to encapsulate all of them in one post.
Please help me to share my link I mentioned ypu🙏🙏😞😞😞
Guys Tawfik is an engineer living in Gaza with his family. He has 2 young siblings. They've been displaced several times and are now living in tents.
Please help this family reach their goal. They are 1/5 of the way there
Can I just say how frustrating it is to have people acknowledge that, yes, global warming is a thing, but when I say I can't take a walk today because the sun will fucking roast me, I'm suddenly just "being lazy" or "not trying hard enough" or "just needing sunscreen? Have these people stepped out recently? The world had a record amount of wildfires last year due to the heat, and it's somehow my fault that I can't take a walk on a boiling sunny day. Sure, ok.
Any support to my family in Palestine
Guys this family has been raising funds since May 10th and they've only received €30 out of 40,000
