I've got openings for edits and sensitivity reads! Does your novel draft need whipping into shape? Do you want someone to give your manuscript the obsessive, expert, loving attention it deserves? Do you want way more information about how Filipino nicknaming works than you'll ever need? Hit me up!💌

And bear in mind that these are just confirmed victims of Israeli violence not a final death toll - the actual death toll is very much higher - many times more.

This is a key reason why officials'/politicians' statements should always be double checked against experts. Even when Biden was saying this, international organisations and experts were saying that Biden's claims were not true and that Gaza's Health Ministry is historically reliable.

We cannot and must not forget Israel continuing its genocide against the Palestinian people - including children. There is no ceasefire.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.

They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.

If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

So, the Immigrant Defense Network and COPAL have been doing the vast majority of large-scale direct aid. They are getting the money to families, schools, churches, neighborhood groups, you name it.

So many people cannot leave their homes.

Schiltz identifies "96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases." That list is limited to orders issued *since January 1 of this year.*
JUST IN: Judge Schiltz cancels Friday’s contempt hearing but lights into ICE, saying the agency may have violated more court orders this month than many others have in their entire existence.

Vida is a dear friend, new mom, and an incredibly hard-working and precious member of our SFF community. She's dealing with some serious and costly medical issues, and if you have the capacity to help, I'd be so grateful.

Vida could use more help: she gave birth and has a disease that will necessitate a kidney transplant in medium term. The meds for said disease aren't cheap and there's the cost of family plus work she can't do right now (babies eat time!)
Please check out her fundraiser (gofundme doesn't work in PH)

These 2 sweet boys will have to go to the shelter if I can’t find them a home by Thursday. #uglydogs if you know of anyone that might give them a great home, DM me. On Friday, I leave for Florida from Missouri. If you are even close to my route, I will deliver them. Help me help these love bugs.

How have people watched these same outlets lie every single day about Gaza, about the videos we all can see, and yet expect it to be different with respect to their own situation? Why do you think they lied to begin with? Because that was the order that came down to them: protect the empire.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

The request includes a declaration from a witness who filmed today's shooting of Pretti.

Read their words:

"I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

One of the worst things about living under fascism. I remember watching the 2020 Delhi pogrom unfold live on social media. We all saw how it happened, how Muslims were attacked, by cops and civilians, & then we saw those same Muslims blamed, & activists & students arrested for the 'riot'.
Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.
We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun
