Hello my friends, how are you? We have been going through very difficult circumstances, as we could not find anything to eat for a whole day in the previous period, but thanks to your donations, we can still struggle to survive and we can buy a little food that keeps us from dying, but the conditions are very deplorable in Gaza. People are dying of hunger and are lying on the street due to the lack of food, and people’s bodies have become very exhausted and emaciated and are in a very sharp decline. Please, my friends, try to help us with all your energy. Share my post and donate to us as much as you can. Please, because my family and I are still alive, thanks to God and thanks to your donations.

Every day we buy a kilo of flour, two tomatoes and an eggplant. This is our food for the whole day. We share it together. Believe me, my friends, its price is very high. We pay approximately $70 every day to provide this food. Please help us Please share our post and donate to us with all your energy.

Hossam Al-Qazzaz, his wife Hanan, and their four children are among thousands of families in Gaza struggling to survive amid a deepening hunger crisis. With food aid cut off and markets nearly empty, the family lives on just a kilo (around 2.2 lbs) of flour, two tomatoes, and an eggplant each day—costing them around $70 daily to eat just one meal due to the level of inflation caused by supply and demand.
A full bag of flour now sells for $300–$500 due to the blockade, and over 50 days without aid deliveries (SOURCE). The UN has confirmed the food supplies in aid kitchens are almost completely depleted (SOURCE).
Please, share and consider donating so this precious family can continue to survive. 🙏🏻

We can no longer bear it. Our energy is gone, our bodies are exhausted, and we can no longer struggle. Before, we used to flee from the bombing and explosions, but now we are running after food. Imagine, my friend, that I have 4 children crying day and night from hunger, and I cannot do anything. Please, my friend, share our post and donate to us if you can. Please, any help from you will save us.

"I am Abdel-Majeed… writing to you from the heart of hunger and bombardment"
Peace be upon you, I never imagined I’d write a plea to the world like this… But today, I have no other choice.
My name is Abdel-Majeed. I’m a father to a baby girl who hasn’t even turned one 👶, and a husband to a patient, broken-hearted wife — she has nothing left but her tears and prayers.
We are now living under a sky raining fire 💥 and on a land with no food and no water 🚫💧. Hunger is eating us alive. The shelling never stops. Even the soup kitchens have closed 🚷 — And the only hope left is in the hearts of the kind and merciful ❤️.
I know the world is tired. I know everyone is struggling. But I am writing to you from deep pain — From the heart of a father with nothing left: No milk 🍼, no bread 🍞, not even a drop of hope.
A bag of flour here costs $600 💸. Can you imagine?
We don’t dream of meat 🥩 or fruit 🍎 — We just want a small piece of bread to silence my baby girl’s cries.
I cry in silence 😢 as I watch her tremble from hunger, while my wife tries to soothe her with the softest voice full of broken tenderness…
But love alone doesn’t feed. And it doesn’t protect us from the bombs 💔.
Please… Don’t scroll past. Even $5 could be the line between life and death.
I’m not asking for the impossible. I just want to keep my family alive. To give my daughter one more day…
Please share — don’t let this post fade. Let it reach every living heart.
Save a life today. Be the hope we no longer have. ✨

I cannot stress enough to you that all American government agencies are falling apart at the seams right now and they will not be put back together for the foreseeable future. EPA DHS ED VA FDA NIH IRS CDC HHS NPS etc... Elon Musk is dismantling everything. Anyone who resigns or is laid off now, the word we (I am an agency employee) are receiving internally is that their position will be abolished, not backfilled.
Do you like eating clean, safe food?
Do you like having clean, safe air and water?
Do you want experts monitoring developing infectious diseases?
Do you like getting tax returns?
Do you want your children to have free, quality, public education?
If so, you need to write to your senators and representatives RIGHT NOW. Trump is not obeying the rule of law. He is illegally firing all the inspectors general of these agencies (they are literally being escorted by security out of their offices) so that there is no one left to stop him from doing quite literally anything he wants. He has bypassed the internal structure of all of the agencies by plugging in external email servers to push typo-filled emails and memos written by employees of the heritage foundation directly into the inbox of every federal agency employee in the country, threatening to terminate them.
The rule of law is dead. The only mechanism left to stop any of this is mass public outcry via convincing your state's congressmen & women to do something, because right now they are staying absolutely silent and none of us in these agencies can figure out why. A massacre is happening right now and every single American will feel the material, concrete consequences of this in their daily lives very soon if nothing is done.
Please help me boost this information.
The news is largely not reporting on what is happening.
Literally all federal workers are currently using this subreddit as our only anonymous gathering place (we all fear doxing and retaliation) and accurate news source https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/. If you want to know what is going on, keep up with this.
This is current breaking news coming from this subreddit:
We don't understand why no one is saying or doing anything. Elon musk is shoving federal guardrails aside to gain personal access to sensitive government systems and information of American citizens

Grieve AND organize.
Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.
This is an excellent article. It talks about the psychology of tyranny, the history of resistance and the paths we have to take to rescue each other and recover.

when people are like “oh so you’re just gonna judge someone for their political beliefs?” yes actually. I think someone’s values and opinions is a pretty reasonable thing to judge them for.

Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.
Resist every step and do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Distracting people with stupid bullshit is one of Trump's favorite political techniques. We saw it all over the place in the first term.
Trump will say something like "You know the Hispanics actually punch kittens, it's what they do."
And the news will be like "TRUMP SAID HISPANIC PEOPLE PUNCH KITTENS" for three weeks.
And while they're doing that the Republicans in Congress have quietly deleted healthcare.
Do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Trump is a dancing monkey whose greatest asset is the ability to yank the spotlight off of everyone else. Keep your eyes on Congress.

I'm sure you've seen a ton of posts like this by now but if you're able to, please check out the Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet.
They currently (5/7/24) have a list of 848 families that need funding to escape Gaza. Anything you can donate will help no matter how small. It all adds up significantly, especially the more people that share and donate.
If you're not in a position where you can donate then please at least share. The more people that do, the better chance there is for these families to get help.
Don't stop talking about Palestine
Reblogged
Over on Tiktok, people are organising to mass block celebrities that haven't talked about Palestine in a campaign called "Blockout 2024". This has spread to Twitter and Instagram as well.
The idea is to mass block a list of major celebrities, including their brands and fan pages, and ignore them. Celebrities get money when we hate on them, but blocking and ignoring them makes them loose attention and therefore money.
Does it work? Well yes! Lizzo lost several million followers in a day and has suddenly spoken out in support of Palestine. You only need to block a social media account. Its very easy.
Which platforms? As many as you have or use. This includes Spotify!
Which celebs? A lot of peoples blocklists vary but the names I've seen the most are:
- Taylor Swift
- Rihanna
- Beyoncè
- Kim Kardashian
- Kylie Jenner
- Selena Gomez
However, the idea is to block all celebrities and influencers that don't support Palestine or haven't spoken out for Palestine. This can be ANY celebrity or influencer, and yes, this includes Kpop and MCYT. Encourage your fandoms and fan bases to block!
YOU, the consumer, provide a celebrities income. No consumer, no income. It's time to utilise that power!

the iof shut down al jazeera this morning and closed the border to trap all the people sheltering in rafah. now the ground invasion of rafah has begun. rafah is being bombed right now and all these people who had been told they had evacuated to a safe zone are going to be massacred by the apartheid entity's weapons. i am so deeply sorry to everyone we have failed. i hate this world.
