if anyone has some spare money this pride month, my friend Ross is fundraising to cover his copay for top surgery and living expenses while he recovers :-) the goal is only $1300 so any donation would make a difference! he's a great guy who's always been super involved in the local lgbt community and it would be awesome if he could make this happen

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

This British humanitarian doctor talks about the wounded and helps them and about the children who suffer from malnutrition, including my daughter Maryam, who has been sick for a month and a half and suffers from malnutrition, and I ask you for help. Many people insult me, and I do not want from you anything but to save my daughter. I am not a beggar. Please save my daughter.

Please save her, don't leave us to be burned by the fires of war.

This distortion on my daughter's face. She ran away from the sound of missiles and huge explosions and fell while running away. Where are you? Save us.

Three of my friends and I went and took some money to buy a kilo of flour, which costs $85, and we were on the way.

If you've ever appreciated my posts about LGBTQ issues, this Pride month, as a favor to me, please do something to help my friend Fadel ( @fadel-dani ).

Fadel is multiply disabled. He has thalassemia, a blood disorder, which leaves him incredibly fatigued. The medication he needs costs €400 every month. He has also been in a very serious accident that left his leg paralyzed for a long time, and now he walks with great difficulty.

Over 550 days ago, Fadel's family home was bombed and he was left with iron shrapnel embedded in his body. The medical infrastructure in Gaza has been decimated and he needs to get to a better-resourced hospital to get them surgically removed safely.

He cannot sleep at night because any movement while asleep causes the shrapnel in his body to move, and causes extremely severe pain. He suffers from PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia from the bombing.

The people of Gaza, Fadel's family included, are going through a severe famine now. They struggle to afford food, let alone his medication. He urgently needs to raise funds for food, medication, travel costs to get to a hospital who can perform surgery, and ultimately for his family to escape this genocide.

Fadel has spent his very limited energy building relationships with strangers in the hopes that enough of us can help him to raise the money he needs. His campaign is vetted by @gazavetters list (#197), @90-ghost, and @a-shade-of-blue.

What you can do:

Donate any amount you can to his campaign

When Palestinians resist, they're called "terrorists." When Israel kills tens of thousands of civilians, it's dismissed as "just war." But international law, the Geneva Conventions, and the UN are clear: occupied people have the right to resist, even with arms. Occupiers have no right to defend their occupation.

Update 28/5/2025

Do my children not have the right to education?Or is it because we’re in Gaza, in the middle of war, that we’re expected to stay in tents — dirty, sick, voiceless — just so the world can pity us enough to help?I’m not running away from our reality — I’m confronting it.I refuse to let my children grow up in constant misery just to fit someone else's idea of what "deserving" looks like.Yes, I’m trying to secure a safe home and proper schooling for them.

Not because we aren’t suffering, but because we are — and we’re still choosing dignity.

Resilience isn’t about staying broken. It’s about refusing to collapse.

Btw, you can donate to menstrual hygiene kits for Sudanese women, which I would highly recommend if you can

This is the worst time to give into apathy, to give into "compassion fatigue", to give into defeatism. Things are dire. So fucking dire.

Like did you know the International Court of Justice has dismissed the case against the UAE for being complicit in genocide because they lack jurisdiction? Did you also know that drones have attacked Port Sudan, where aid would enter the country? The main power station has been hit, leaving the city in a blackout!

So please make noise for Sudan. We need a permanent ceasefire and we need the UAE, along with other countries, such as Russia, Libya, Colombia, and Saudi Arabia to be held accountable. Make sure to boycott, protest, and of course, donate! How about you donate and share my friend's, Randa, @rnd8, fundraiser? She is a Sudanese living in Rwanda and she is raising funds to evacuate her family. Thankfully, her father and 3 sisters have evacuated and reunited with her, but her two brothers are still left behind in Southern Khartoum to this day!

Let's reach the 34K mark ASAP! There is €816 left to go! Plus, GFM has given an extension, but it has passed, which means the fundraiser can close at any moment! You can match me. I have given €10, but you are more than welcome to give any amount! ! !

Verification: Shared by Jin (@/jinforjustice on IG), and @/northgazaupdates!

€33,184 / €35,000

Fletcher said five trucks of aid went into Gaza yesterday, but described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population’s needs. He said the aid lorries, which contain baby food and nutrition, are technically in Gaza but have not reached civilians as they are just on the other side of the border.

(Full update)

Five trucks had entered Gaza for the first time in 3 months. This compares to 500 trucks every day before October 2023. There are miles of loaded trucks that Israel continue to block from entering besieged Gaza.

Make no mistake, Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against 2 million people.

When I came across this horrific headline, I immediately thought of my friend @amalashournew, who is trapped in Gaza and has been navigating this genocide with her toddler. Thanks to your donations to Amal’s campaign, she has managed to provide for her daughter, but prices of what little food remains in Gaza are now higher than anytime before, which makes this time far more critical for donations and shares than ever before.

Please consider donating and sharing. Despite the magnitude of this genocide, don’t lose hope. Anything helps.

How can I contribute to thwarting the displacement plan?

During the genocide they carried out, the occupation deliberately and extensively destroyed all the foundations of life:

-Water -Electricity -Hospitals -Schools -Homes -Sewage networks -Streets -Communications

The primary goal was (to make Gaza uninhabitable). After this massive destruction, you are now forced to travel and leave the immense destruction in Gaza behind, and this is called voluntary displacement.

For two reasons:

-Gaza has been completely destroyed and is uninhabitable. -Rebuilding Gaza will take at least 10 years (after the war ends; I noticed that most American newspapers were the only ones saying that rebuilding Gaza would take 40 years), and this is an attempt to achieve the primary goal, which is (migration). But it is not explicitly migration; it's travel, but long-term.

Returning to the main point of the post, how can you contribute to thwarting the displacement plans?

The only way is to support us in Gaza with all your time, money, and effort.

When you contribute, for example, to buying household necessities, providing water tanks, providing solar energy, or trying to repair partially damaged houses, you are, in this way, reducing the likelihood of achieving the primary goal of the gen.ocide we have lived through for the past 500 days.

Therefore, we are collecting donations so that we can remain steadfast in Gaza and overcome the displacement plans, and you can overcome these plans by donating to us and empowering us on the land.

Hey guys, I wanted to tell you about the Ihyaa' initiative. My friend Mohammed Ayesh, who's been our vetter on the ground in Ghazzah for the last year or so, wants to make a space and provide resources for University students to complete their studies in a proper learning environment, along with providing food parcels, stationary, and other essentials. You may have heard of the Isnad initiative! It's very similar to the Ihyaa' initiative but it's located elsewhere. They had to find the right room to use as a classroom for the Ihyaa' initiative and they're going to be paying rent of 2000$ for it. Mohammed Ayesh has informed me that starting on Monday this rent will begin.

University students are the foundation of a better and rebuilt Ghazzah! If you want to help Ghazzah rebuild, this is one of the first steps you can start assisting with.

[goldinavonlea]

I send to you while my heart is wracked with pain. How did I reach this point? I feel like a beggar after being a lecturer at the finest universities and a trainer in prominent international institutions. And here I am now, sitting in a tent, holding my phone to reach out to those who possess genuine humanity to help us overcome this disaster. I am Abdullah Mohammed from Gaza. I am married with three children, and my wife is pregnant and about to give birth. The situation is worsening day by day. I hope you will share my story and assist me in leaving Gaza and protecting my children. Gofundme Link | PayPal Link
