💔 When I returned to the north, I stood helpless before the ruins of my home, gathering what’s left of our clothes to keep my children warm this winter.
🙏 Please, help us rebuild our lives — even $5 can save us from the cold. 🕊️❄️

#Alaska matters. Duh!

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 19h

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The #Hamas leader described the steadfastness of #Gaza’s residents as unparalleled in modern history.
“The world stands astonished by the sacrifices, steadfastness, and patience of the people of Gaza”

"Since October 8, 2023, every 10 minutes on average, a child has been killed in #Gaza.

"Will you say Kaddish for them, Rabbi Cosgrove? Will you read the list of their names?"

So glad I cut out all dairy a few years ago. Wish I had done it long before! I eat less meat, more green veggies - even though I don't like the greens. Totally worth it.

Creepy AF. Can only hope that some #Christian #Zionists rearrange their mental furniture, right quick!

The "Northern Command" needs to stand down. NOW. Taxpayer-funded BS authoritarianism. The "Northern Realm" can take care of itself.

#RejectAIPAC

I disagree with Mr. Gaetz politically. I believe he is correct & brave to speak out 👇

Former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz recalls his first AIPAC reception, describing it as a surreal & demeaning experience where attendees wore QR-coded badges & were scanned for instant contributions if deemed favorable.

#portlandoregon folks will not be intimidated, but this is some f'ing taxpayer-funded scary violent BS.

Janet R Weil @janetrweil.bsky.social · 5d

Kid Starver has zero #empathy for #Palestinians. This is a propaganda talking point.

We haven't received any donations since yesterday.

I hope eight friends will take the initiative, each with just 25 francs. 🙏
Who will be the first to donate and break this deadlock?

Because the decision-makers are stupid and cowardly. Because #billionaires are on a winning streak.
