"Routinely ignored" is generous; in many cases politicians gleefully exacerbate.
The entire discipline of "genocide studies" has failed overwhelmingly not only to stop a genocide but has so far not even provided compelling evidence that it can accurately forecast a genocide.
Meanwhile, things that are definitively genocides get routinely ignored by politicians over mass protest
"Genocide" and "War Crimes" are two concepts that belong to a unique class: ideas that should carry moral weight and that people believe carry moral weight but all modern evidence points overwhelmingly to the contrary.
From Ola and Lutfi:
"From my heart, as a mother who only dreams of seeing happiness in her children's eyes, I ask you to please stand by us and be our hope once again. Your kindness can bring back a little joy to our hearts."
Every child deserves and needs to experience joy. Please help if you can

Rami and Lubna have 3 young children: Alin, Naser, and Kinda. Naser and Kinda are young enough that there is probably not much that they remember other than this genocide. They deserve so much better than this. Little Naser has a thyroid condition that needs treatment. Please help if you can.
This is Mohammed. He has two young girls and needs proper nutrition to treat their malnutrition from Israel's siege. Please help if you can

Spark space is an excellent way to bring hope to students who need a space with electricity and internet access to study and work. Consider a monthly donation if you are able to provide consistency

Ahmad and Samar, @ahmadjohary16.bsky.social, got married during this genocide and have had a difficult time fundraising due to silencing of his account. This young couple needs our help.

Please also remember families like Abeer's in Sudan, which has almost reached 3 years of brutal civil war.
This is Eslam.
chuffed.org/project/1282...
Eslam is no longer on bluesky but still needs support. Food and supplies are very expensive in Gaza. Please help if you can.
This is Sahar, @saharit5.myatproto.social. Sahar has 4 young children: Hala, Rital, Odai, and Talin. Over a year ago little Odai was shot by an Israeli quadcopter drone and needs surgery to heal properly from it. Food is still very expensive as well. Please help if you can.

I am updating the thread of fundraisers I had pinned, starting with Reem.
Reem is a young woman in Gaza who got engaged to Sakher during this genocide. She is recovering from a recent surgery and needs help supporting her family.
Please help her get through this to rebuild a life with Sakher
This is from Alaa
"My children are freezing and starving Their tiny bodies can't endure this cold and hunger. My husband was taken prisoner in the final days of the war, and I'm about to give birth alone
We urgently need €200 - 10 people giving
€20 can save us
Please don't ignore us."
Please, help. Donate if possible. Share in hope that the message will reach someone who can donate. And pressure your government to recognize Palestine as a rightful state and to end Nethanyahu's genocide.🕊️🇵🇸
Palestinian kids aren’t helpless objects of our pity. They have a right to autonomy and dignity, and that’s what this project is about: bringing healing, life skills, & community to kids who were released from occupation detention.

This is another excellent way to help some of the most traumatized children in the world. If you have even a small amount of money that you can commit to an automatic monthly donation, it would be very helpful in order to provide stability.
At QuiltCon this year, quilting’s radical history took center stage, with dozens of works that commented on censorship and corruption and called for change.

âś‹ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
Ultradireita pragmática, pra mim, é aquela que decide parar de fingir porque já percebeu que a elite e a imprensa comandada pela elite estão a bordo. Tipo lá nos EUA.
Em geral Ă© quando a coisa escala.
