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 · 17h

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.

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 · 4h

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.

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]

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

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.
