We are drowning again and again
It will be a harsh, long, bitterly cold winter.
And between every storm and the next… another massacre, new displacement, lethal suffering, and bleeding grief.

CALLING ALL GAZA HELPERS... There is a Gaza family whose organizer for GFM is ending their assistance. The family wants to move to Chuffed, but needs an organizer/receiver. I cannot do it.

Please reach out and I can get you in touch.

My friend Eslam has been banned from Bluesky. Many here also counted her as a friend. Happily, her sister brought her mother out of Gaza, but the remainder of the younger siblings remain there, and Eslam's campaign supports much of the family. Please share if you can. 🙏🏾

Ruaa is having trouble, everyone. If you can help her, please give her a helping hand!
Everyone… I just need to rent a place to replace our tent. My family has fallen very sick because of it, Don’t forget us even with the ceasefire it’s an illusion to divert attention from us. Our suffering has worsened, the situation is extremely dire and I’ve lost everything except my trust in you.
My dearest friend set up the weekly and monthly donation options so that we can stay alive after a tent was destroyed just 100 meters away from us last night. The sand covered our faces while we were still alive.

I’m deeply depressed and can’t keep begging one by one for help anymore.

Much of what happened in Mexico over the weekend stems from consistent attempts by wealthy elites and the U.S. to delegitimize President Claudia Shienbaum’s administration.

A copycat protest funded and organized by billionaire far-right actors is not what the U.S. media would have you believe

Good morning from DAY FIVE of our national ULP strike!

We're ready to escalate if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing & the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Been trying to put that into words all morning
Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A lot of Mamdani critics complained that anti-Zionism was a core part of his platform — it wasn’t.

More significant is that he didn’t have to twist himself in knots to defend Israel, which contributed to his core being pitch of being an authentic leader.

During the most intense bombing of North Gaza, Hayat's family lost the longtime shelter they had, including their warm clothes for the winter. Can you help her raise $100 to prepare for the cold weather? 🙏🏾
