We've got SO much expense to cover these next two weeks [and next two months, too].

Selling all five of these? Would put a dent in a lot of it.

$300/875! Any support is greatly appreciated.

Losing hope that I'll be able to keep my home. Not sure I can raise the full $875 this month for rent. I'm scared of being on the streets again. Last time, I had to rely on an abusive man to protect me. Please help me not go back there. tamilove21 on Cash App, Venmo, and Paypal.

Bluesky appears to treat all Palestinians as spam and deletes them constantly. Some people create many profiles to try to keep one or more active because it’s a constant uphill battle. Multiple accounts doesn’t mean it’s a scammer.

They don't have the scale, money, or influence of Elon Musk or Zuckerberg, but they are every bit as evil, and if they got as rich as him, they would be every bit the same kind of supervillains.

Just saw 2 Palestinian accounts vanish right after asking me for help--one a mother grieving her baby daughter who just died of starvation, another begging for help to keep her little sick, starving baby daughter alive. I cannot say what I think of Bluesky admin.

If you’re looking to help rebuild Gaza a farmer and a civil engineer seems like a good person to help ❤️

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

Want to note here as well that while we have not paid OURSELVES, we have paid freelance writers and artists industry-standard rates, which is very important to us both as an organization, and as current/former freelancers who believe in independent media.

AndreaaaHHhHHHHh!! Grimes @andreagrimes.com · 12h

Genuinely: Paywalling content is not a thing I love doing. I'd rather create in a world where writers & artists could share our stuff literally freely. The Flytrap is cooperatively owned by its founders, who put in a ton of as-yet unpaid work to produce ALL our content—including one free post/month.

The Flytrap @theflytrapmedia.com · 13h

We do have a paywall, and that's because journalism has a cost. We pay all our contributors 0.50c a word & the founders haven't been compensated for the year, so we do ask for people to pay for our content. We still haven't made a profit this year, so we are unapologetic about that.

This is the who the gop is

They cannot be negotiated with. They cannot be compromised with. Anyone still arguing to reach across the aisle needs to be primaried and forgotten. Any pundits or columnists arguing for bipartisanship need to be ignored

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]

So proud to be a part of this. 🥹 Here's my entry. #art

Happy Charlie Kirk Is Still Dead Day to all who celebrate.

Cartoon in reddish/brownish hues. Top corner text reads "Somewhere warm..." A brown coffin lies in a kind of brimstoney envinronment, for lack of a better term, ahem. The lid is inscribed "RIP C.K." with a cross below that. A microphone lies in the foreground, its cable cut and sparking. Thought balloon text above the coffin reads, in all caps, "I'm still relevant!! Prove me wrong!! Hello? Hello!?! Where's my mic?!? Erikaaaaaaaaa..."

Before Trump began dismantling USAID, polling showed that the average American voter thought that ~25% of our federal budget went to foreign aid. But that figure was only 1%—and our foreign aid contributions represented a much smaller share of our Gross National Income than other wealthy countries.

I don't eat animal protein but I'll never call my diet 'cruelty free' because the people growing and harvesting the fruits and vegetables I eat work in conditions like this.

Cruelty to humans matters, too.

Amidst all the stuff about the male loneliness "epidemic" there's a serious conversation to be had about how much bigotry has been made out to be harmless until the bleeding starts. These people will not stop at harming the Other. They hate all of you. And they want to watch you suffer and die.

I just want you all to know that when we told you that they wanted to destroy everything and you thought Black women were exaggerating? This was the "ironic" racism you said we were overreacting to 10 years ago. Racism has never had generational limits
