Believe me, no one truly knows what hunger feels like,
To search for food for your children under endless American missiles for two years.
Even I didn’t know hunger could destroy you like this.
I have no words for this pain.

Reminder to the folks with uteruses: tear gas can really fuck up your reproductive system. Even minor exposure can offset your cycle and do some other nasty things to ya. I bled for weeks after prolonged exposure to tear gas in 2020.

If you plan to exercise your 1st amendment rights, wear good PPE

You know that awful shriek dogs make when someone steps on their tail?

I once knew a dog who learned that if he quietly placed the fluffy part of his tail under someone's foot and shrieked, he'd get a treat.

Anyway totally unrelated but I hear transphobes are still finding things to be upset about

Only 3 weeks remain until ends, and I’m only halfway to my goal.
I beg you please share and donate for my displaced, starving family, who are bleeding with pain in Gaza.
My family has no one but you.
I don’t know if we will survive until then, but I’m holding onto your help don’t leave us alone. 😢

Since it’s clear Bluesky has no intention of making this platform a fairer place for Palestinians (if anything it’s gotten worse since we sent the letter).

I have a call to action. Which is to befriend one family, connect with them off this platform and then share their story from your own.

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up.

Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food.

Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February.

During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

FBI shows up at Charlottesville public defender's home unannounced after ICE raid The day before the Memorial Day weekend, FBI agents arrived at the homes of Charlottesville-area lawyers to question them about an ICE raid in the city in April.

FBI agents are now visiting Charlottesville’s public defenders *at their homes*. It’s naked intimidation of our justice system.

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says Witnesses say Israeli forces opened fire on people near distribution point run by Israel-backed foundation More than 20 people were killed on Sunday as they went to receive food at an aid distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in the Gaza Strip, according to a hospital run by the Red Cross that received the bodies. Witnesses told the Associated Press that Israeli forces had opened fire on people as they headed toward the aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “There were many martyrs, including women,” the 40-year-old resident said. “We were about 300 metres away from the military.” Continue reading...

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

imagining taking white genocide seriously is so funny because it’s not a genocide in any classic or defined sense of actual oppression and instead is just that white people have gotten bad at fucking. it would be like calling pandas dying off as “panda replacement theory” lmfao

U.S. Senate: Contacting U.S. Senators

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes.

You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that.

Please share as well.

This is essential viewing.

A remarkable interview with Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a paediatrician working in Gaza, following the killing of her colleague’s NINE children by Israeli forces.

Going to post this video in two clips.

Here she responds to ludicrous IDF denials & calls out the genocide.

YouTube video by The Serf Times Mark Carney and Keir Starmer have "strong words" but no action

There is a mass forced starvation of children taking place and the best Western leaders can mutter is a strongly worded letter. No two way arms embargo, no sanctions, not even cutting off diplomatic ties with Israel

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations.

I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

Trump officials argue that the administration is ensuring children are not abused or trafficked.

But current and former agency employees say the Office of Refugee Resettlement is drifting from its humanitarian mandate.

A mother's urgent plea to stop ICE from deporting her daughters’ birth father tomorrow He served his time in the US. He deserves to heal here, too.

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives.

Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:
