please give ruaa your support, last time i saw her on the timeline she and her mother were in pretty dire conditions

A challenge for us. You know Ruaa (now DELETED, itsmeio.bsky.social) relies on this app to feed her family. Asking for help was already so degrading + she barely has internet. So...how many $5 weekly pledges can we get by Friday to ensure help even when banned?

A pale purple banner with the texture of linen, and an ink sketch of a purple watercolor rose. The title says "Safey for Ruaa" and is decorated with red tatreez olive leaves. The text says: "Ruaa alone provides for a family of seven, including her sick sister—she is exhausted, in pain, and reliant on strangers for help. Give this family hope for better days. Make a weekly recurring donation to stand by them every week, and lift the burden from young Ruaa's shoulders." In the corner says tinyurl.com/For-Ruaa.

My dear Haya has had her account deleted so many times, can you imagine the heart break? She’s only 17, she wants warmth.
Can you contribute today so she can have a nice meal?

Haya hasn’t had chicken or any protein in EIGHT MONTHS and winter is coming
She has been really craving now that there’s some availability, but too expensive: between $40-$48!
Can we please chip in for some nutritious chicken for our dear friend?

📷 Christmas Gathering, Nazareth (1936).

A black and white, big family photo. They are inside of a wide room with tall ceilings and nice decorations on the walls, and a big Christmas tree, decorated with flowers. The children are standing in the front row, some of them portraying nativity themes, and doing praying gesture. Maybe they are singing, because we can see that there's more children seated in front of them, like an audience.

It’s been over three weeks since Ruaa was banned from this platform with no reason -because there is no reason other than hate and discrimination

Don’t let hate win
If you can pledge $5 for her today that would mean so much

We're up to 18 pledges as support hits a record low for Ruaa and her family. Can you and your family pledge a weekly or monthly 5 for Ruaa? Their survival shouldn't rely on whether the Bluesky mods are racist or not.

The Palestine Poster Project Archives contains more than 8,600 posters created by at least 1,750 artists -a majority of Palestinian artists-, currently available on their website.
And because there's no #8M without Palestinian women, a thread of posters dedicated to them for all to share and help

Ruaa being the oldest, she is taking care of the family. Her two siblings are studying remotely. Any donation goes to food, water, medicine, rent (basic needs), and covers the tuition fees for her two siblings. As her account being targeted, it's up to us

chuffed.org/project/help...

A purple flower on the right, next to the title Safety for Ruaa.

Text continues as Ruaa alone provides for a family of seven, including her sick sister -she is exhausted, in pain, and reliant on strangers for help. Give this family hope for better days. Make a weekly recurring donation to stand by them every week, and lift the burden from young Ruaa's shoulders.

@moderation.bsky.app BlueSky you clearly banned the wrong person.
An account with Nazi dogwhistles is blatantly antisemitic.
Ruaa however is not antisemitic.
You got the wrong account banned... again!
You banned the victim of abuse, and not the abuser violating ToS and Guidelines.
Please fix that.

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
