Last 5 hours 👋🏾 Every day we’re doing an ambitious goal, because we made a promise to our seven friends that we’d help their families and a displacement camp survive.

The task is still survival. And after that, rebuilding. Chip in for food, shelter, winter clothes, baby supplies.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

also, the VP of what is arguably the most powerful country in the world being tagged "Longtime Friend of Charlie Kirk" is very...interesting framing

STOP ASSUMING IT IS A FLAW

I know everyone hates context especially when it means they may have to admit Black and Indigenous people had points

But the refusal to deal with guardrails is an INTENTIONAL CHOICE.. that they have made for YEARS

New York Times Opinion @nytopinion.nytimes.com · 15d

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

There’s an idea that when someone dies before retirement age from a health issue, they must’ve neglected their health, so “everyone get checked.” I want to gently push back on the idea of it being all self-neglect & remind 1) some illnesses are incurable 2) bigoted healthcare system is shit 3) cost.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight
