Trump's 'ceasefire' was all about providing plausible deniability for the genocide to continue at a lower frequency while international private finance was being lined up to profit off the slain & dispossess the living of what little if anything they have left

Hind Khoudary reporting this morning that the aid entering Gaza is very little & not enough to meet the massive needs of the population. Hind also explains that a lot of what's entering are commercial trucks with goods to be sold. The problem? Lots of people have no money.

Some of your neighbors are sitting in their houses too scared to leave to buy food.

Check in on people and please don’t post on socials about specifics

Don’t text. Don’t email. Don’t call.

Go knock on doors and ask people if they need help.

Cynthia “Cina” Pelayo @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social · 1d

How do any of us help? At least in the immediate, if you’re in Chicago –

Check in with your neighbors

Support small Latine businesses

Do you have children in school? Speak to parents. Many are forming groups to keep watch at schools hours before drop off / pick up
