Save Zakaria: Gaza Survivor with a Ukrainian Family I'm Divya, and I'm a scientist based in the UK. I'm helping my friend Zakaria raise funds to help his family survive. We got in touch through mutual friends and I was moved by his story—one of…

Ok yall I'm giving us TWO days max to reach this goal. This is a new campaign for someone vetted maybe 4–10 different ways. Zakaria is our sweet friend coping with serious disability after US missiles buried him in rubble. He just needs food + a new phone.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

This weekend we’re doing an urgent appeal as the families of the giving circle have evacuated with nowhere to go—or are facing this soon.

This goal is ambitious because our hope has to be radical. The point is to try. It makes a difference.

Anything helps. 580/2500: chuffed.org/project/hope...

new yorkers, if LA is inspiring or energizing you, we need you to show up to where ICE is kidnapping and holding our neighbors. weekends too. i promise you there is a time and way you can be useful.

Learn how to talk and say what needs to be said to your people in secure ways. A lot of conversations that have been going on and that need to increase will not take place on social media.

Please pitch in, this isn’t much if we work together!

Needs + prices are increasing rapidly. Invest in this family’s right to survive.

It's important to understand that white supremacy enables white civilians to become de facto police in several scenarios, which then grants the right to extrajudicial killing. This has been officially and unofficially codified in the US from the start.

hopping over here to mention that i'll be in SF from 12/10 thru 12/15! wanna try to visit oakland too 👀

Hey @aaron.bsky.team, I’m a Palestinian elected official and have been working to get my colleagues over here. Really like this place but structural discrimination against Palestinians is a deal breaker. Please fix this👇

it's midnight turn off the nia archives boiler room set

heads up that cashapp is flagging their account and won't let my payment go through

a screenshotted portion of the article linked: "For the most part, these systems have worked. In May, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a federal laboratory, said it tested six age estimators on 11 million government photos — from border-crossing checkpoints, consulates and police mug shots — and found that they were typically accurate within about three years. Incode’s algorithm was especially precise with infants, the test found, triangulating a baby’s age within four months."

my favorite(🤮) part is where they admit they're getting some of the data from:

This is NOT easy for me at all and have been trying to avoid it.

On Mourning and Statehood: A Response to Joshua Leifer - Dissent Magazine How to grieve, what meaning to give those tears, is cruelly a political question whether we like it or not.

"The impulse, repeatedly called “humane” over the past week, to find peace by acknowledging equally the losses on all sides rests on a fantasy that mourning can be depoliticized."

What Preceded This Bloodshed in Gaza Was Not “Peace” — It Was Apartheid Israel’s plan to treat Palestinians in Gaza as “human animals” and starve them reflects the conditions of apartheid.

.@prisonculture.bsky.social and I shared some thoughts about "peace" and apartheid alongside an excerpt from Let This Radicalize You in @truthout.bsky.social today.

Apparently we need a reminder: Taking disabled people into STATE CUSTODY by force is not a good idea.

The list of people who don't get to have bodily autonomy is growing by the minute, and you might not think it applies to you today buuuut.... you might be surprised how fast it can.

Surprise! Powerful computing has a deep hidden cost to our power grid AND our water supply.

Fuck AI. Fuck crypto. Fuck planned obsolescence. Fuck the annual push for new hardware and software.

The line cannot go up forever, and we are borrowing from the future so fast we may not have one.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul just signed into law a bill banning captive audience meetings.

As of today, bosses in NYS cannot make employees attend meetings with those high-paid consultants who come and tell you how scary unions are 👻 Go attend your union meeting instead 😉

Let me just say that Antony Lowenstein’s “The Palestine Laboratory:

We're raising funds for the 35 workers who are laid off with no more than an hour's notice during a bargaining session today. The workers have a post at cfaworkersunited.com/stories/2023..., and we're raising money via Venmo at venmo.com/u/CfAWorkers...

I am one of those 35 + am looking for work

White people are addicted to calling Black people they don’t like (and particularly Black people of marginalized genders, specifically so that they can misgender, degender and ungender us in whatever way helps their case the most) dangerous and violent and it happens here a lot
