I’m really sorry for asking again but things are unbearably hard😞 Israhell still isn’t allowing UNRWA aid to enter, only letting some traders bring in food — and prices are impossible to afford. It’s been a long time since the last support, so truly hope u can help🙏🇵🇸

Sadly, things in Gaza are still terrible😞 — barely any aid is coming in, prices for basic food are sky-high, and Israhell keeps bombing from time to time. I’m asking everyone who sees this to pls share — this link is my only hope to keep studying & help my family survive.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

“I will abolish ICE.”
“I will codify abortion rights.”
“I will divest from and sanction Israel.”
“I will tax the rich.”
“I will protect trans lives, Black lives, marginalized lives.”
“I will salt the ground in which fascist republicans and fascist-sympathizing democrats grew.”

See? Those work.

critical to remember that this energy doesn’t just automatically become Dem electoral enthusiasm. you still have to win people over. give them something to vote for more than just “I won’t be a king”

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison.

His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate.

The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.

Just a reminder to not assume things are better here. They are still being bombed. Still screaming for aid because it’s being withheld. Still needing food and shelter, especially as winter comes.
