As Palestinians return to the rubble of their homes, the effects of the genocide are being felt amid heightened social unrest. “This war broke us," one returnee to Gaza City told Mondoweiss. "It damaged our souls. We need decades to heal.”

Friends,
I advocate for Palestinians, I am part of a circle of supporters.

I promote individual fundraisers by real people, vetted by other real people, in an effort to help Gazans survive. I promote related material, and calls to action.
This is my call today:

Adopt a family, speak for them

The blood of Anas al-Sharif and other slain journalists is on the hands of Western media figures who have justified Israel’s crimes while ignoring, or excusing, the killing and intimidation of Palestinian journalists.

Liberalism is when the liberal powers that be, make a woman of colour landlord, a "homelessness minister", and liberals call it "progress", "girlboss feminist landlord", and "secure the bag strong woman", while she's throwing tenants out, increasing their rent, and creating more homelessness. Yaaay!
