Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

"According to ProPublica’s tally, more than 170 American citizens have been held against their will because federal agents, acting at Donald Trump’s behest, suspected them of being undocumented immigrants."

I took part in a small town protest today in very very red rural Missouri. Initially, a few days ago 43 people were "going". Turned out to be 640 of us in a tiny town square! I was beyond exhilarated.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I’m primary caretaker for a baby now, spending nearly every hour of almost every day handling it all completely on my own.

I’d like to be able to afford 1-2 days a week to knock out big chores (like laundry) & to be on the ground again. A nanny costs $20-$30/hr. I make $350/week lol

We all share the air. If we would care about the quality of the air we share, everyone benefits.

One great way to do that is masking up in public spaces.

You’ll be sick less. You’ll be making spaces more accessible. You’re showing solidarity with disabled people.
juliadoubleday.bsky.social Julia Doubleday @juliadoubleday.bsky.social · 6d
People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

My latest:

Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

As someone with a special interest in Monster Hunter icon style Pokemon, these PLA easter egg glyphs in the Pokemon Legends Z-A museum are rad
a wall with geometric pokemon icons that look similar to monster hunter icons. The pokemon included are a reference to Pokemon Legends Arceus. The 4th one in the second row is sky forme shaymin, it took me a bit to figure out too.

I love my tall LoZ lad and his long hair so much...he does cut it short in the epilogue tho lmao
A digital piece of art of my AU Ganondorf. He is resting a hand on the hilt of a sword. His long red hair seems to blow in the breeze. There is an azalea bush in front of him, and a stained glass window depicting the triforce in the sky behind him.

The Supreme Court will rehear a case on Wednesday that could strike a death blow to the Voting Rights Act and, in the process, virtually guarantee that Republicans hang on to power for the foreseeable future. “It’s enough to cement one-party control of the US House for at least a generation.”

In July 2024, Donald Trump told a crowd at a campaign rally, "Get out and vote! Just this time. You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore."

Now, there is a new court case at SCOTUS that stands to gut the VRA.
