Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.

Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.

Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.

TWO HOURS AGO: israeli tanks are headed towards rafah, they are moving forward with their ground assault. as we all watch the solidarity encampments across the us, REMEMBER WHAT THOSE STUDENTS ARE FIGHTING FOR! DO NOT LOOK AWAY FROM PALESTINE!!

[Image Description: A tweet from Deep Barot (@/deepbarot) that reads: "Israeli armored vehicles and tanks begin movement towards Rafah for ground assault. As Netanyahu confirmed, the ground invasion of Rafah will move forward as planned regardless of US opinion. Not to mention the fresh US aid package given to resupply Israel. War is now 24/7 🙃." Attached below is a video of the aforementioned tanks driving away from the camera. /End ID]

This is monumental. May it be the start of a new movement

To my followers, this is another trustworthy GoFundMe that needs your help. Ruba and her family are stuck in Rafah and are trying to raise the funds to leave.

Ruba and her family have lost everything they own. They are still facing constant bombing from Israel and the threat of illnesses and food shortage. Her father's health is dire right now, while there is no medical infrastructure left in Gaza to help him and a lack of supplies.

They've only reached €856 of their goal of €50,000

The situation is urgent and I'm making a post in the hopes of getting Ruba's story out more exposure. Please donate and share! Anything you can spare will help this family.

EARLIER TODAY: The Israeli Offence Forces targeted civilians once again with a firebomb, setting ablaze a group of tents in Rafah. These tents were housing displaced Gazan citizens in the “Safety Zone” that Israel has been forcing Gazan citizens into since October. Source.

watching a tiktok and someone just described the black/blue gold/yellow dress meme as “one of the first things to ever go viral”

ok the irony and misinformation in the tags is making me insane. leprosy? caused by bacteria! and not actually that contagious! tuberculosis? bacterial! bubonic plague? also bacterial!! if you want an early viral infection smallpox is right there! polio! hell, even influenza! bacteria ≠ viruses!

The Rafah invasion would be so catastrophic that even Biden momentarily called it a red line, though of course he walked it back.

It's hard to say something could be worse than what's already happened, nothing I could say wouldn't already apply, but this would massively increase the scale of this ongoing atrocity. Any pressure that can be brought to bear to stop it must be applied.

It is not "just an opinion" and we cannot "agree to disagree" WHEN IT IS LITERALLY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. GENOCIDE. ETHINIC CLEANSING. ISRAEL DOING WAR CRIMES WITH THE USA'S HELP.

Watch my daughter’s story as she speaks as a Palestinian child who dreams of living like the children of the world, with a safe life away from bombing, destruction and a sense of danger.

My daughter, Dalin, was deprived of the most basic rights, such as education. She entered school in the first grade for one month, because of the war on Gaza.

Her only wish is for you to stand with us and help us by traveling as quickly as possible, saving her family and all of us going out to live a life without danger or losing any of us.

My daughter is like your children. Help us by donating through the gofundme campaign, and we ask you to save us before it is too late.

Please donate generously before the Israeli army enters Rafah, and share the post so that it reaches the largest number of good people.

Feel for us, my friends, and fulfill Dalin's wish, to live a safe life

Mahmoud here translated as best he could what his daughter was saying so YOU can understand. So listen. And share their story.

unfortunately I cannot stop drawing these (original tweet below the cut)

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

Hello world, I am Muhammad Munir from Gaza, I am 30 years old and I live my whole life under the Israeli occupation. The last 6 months of genocide have been very difficult, more than words can say. I have decided that I need to leave Gaza in order to treat my wife and evacuate my children to safety. My children need their mother to take care of them. Please help me raise the money I need for the evacuation, food and basic supplies before the evacuation. I am close to my goal. If you say Palestine is free, then I ask you to work for Palestine as well. Please help me reach safety and begin the journey of treating my wife and evacuating my family to safety. I thank you with all my heart.
