"First we must study how colonization works to decivilize the colonizer, to brutalize him in the true sense of the word, to degrade him, to awaken him to buried instincts, to covetousness, violence, race hatred, and moral relativism; and we must show that each time a head is cut off or an eye put out in Vietnam and in France they accept the fact, each time a little girl is raped and in France they accept the fact, each time a Madagascan is tortured and in France they accept the fact, civilization acquires another dead weight, a universal regression takes place, a gangrene sets in, a center of infection begins to spread; and that at the end of all these treaties that have been violated, all these lies that have been propagated, all these punitive expeditions that have been tolerated, all these prisoners who have been tied up and interrogated, all these patriots who have been tortured, at the end of all the racial pride that has been encouraged, all the boastfulness that has been displayed, a poison has been instilled into the veins of Europe and, slowly but surely, the continent proceeds toward savagery.

And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific reverse shock: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers around the racks invent, refine, discuss." -Aimé Césaire

I’m making this post on the behalf of Sami Al-Khalili and his family, who are currently suffering in Gaza. If you’ve the means please consider donating here.

Sami says:

“Me and my family were forced to flee again, and my injured daughter’s condition is getting worse.

We have nothing to eat, and when I go to the food distribution centers, the centers and I are directly targeted.

I am terrified of being killed and leaving my family behind, but I also can’t bear to see them starving. Please, think on what you’d do and feel in my place.”

If you can’t directly donate, than any kind of engagement you give the campaign would help a lot! Thank you.

Anyway idk I couldn’t raise money for rent for lgbt pride month and now it’s disability pride month and I still need help. I’m enduring a chronic pain flare up now, weeks of it. The extreme temperatures don’t help (it’s what triggered this episode in the first place) and I drive to work in a 100 degree car with no ac and I just can’t get it back under control. Idk here’s a link to my other post with more info and here’s a random pic of me after powwow (neutral pronouns)

Sorry this is written so poorly I’m really upset and out of it right now 🫶🏽 thank you very much for all ur help

Save my little children in Gaza 😭💔🇵🇸

I am Kholoud from Gaza. I no longer have a home, nor do I have any security. The war destroyed my home, and I now live in a dilapidated tent, but that's not the real pain. The real pain is that I am a mother who sees my children suffering every day without being able to do anything to save them. My children suffer from a rare skin disease (ichthyosis psoriasis), a cruel disease that causes their skin to crack, bleed, and burn with pain. They can't sleep, they can't play, they can't live like other children.

Their tiny bodies can't bear it anymore, and all I can do is hug them and try to hide my tears. $500 every three days, that's the price I need to ease his pain... but it's a sum I don't have, and I don't even have enough to feed them. I hope you donate the amount, or half of it, or whatever you can.

As a mother, I appeal to your merciful heart: Please, don't leave me alone in this agony. Your small help could be the difference between them continuing to live or succumbing to the pain. My children deserve life, they deserve a childhood without suffering... and you could be their lifeline.

trump's big beautiful bill, which just passed congress, expands ICE's budget from $9.6 billion to over $170 billion, of which $45 billion is appropriated for new detention centers. not only is this budget bigger than the budget of the federal bureau of prisons, but it's greater than the military expenditure of all countries besides america and china ($246 billion), giving more money to ICE than the russian military receives ($129 billion). it will completely remake american society

it's incredibly messed up to see palestinians having to risk their lives to get aid. the zionist entity has created conditions where people are forced to stand in long lines with the possibility of death hanging over their heads for just a simple bag of flour.

there's been a famine in gaza for months. i simply cannot imagine how young children must be doing.

how does a child feel after seeing their parents risk their lives for flour, how do they sleep under the sound of bombing, how do they live knowing that someone who has never met them is filled with so much hate for them that they want to see the child dead?

please have heart and consider donating to a mother of two young children. the kids need to eat and get medicines as they are unwell. the fundraiser is verified.

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

Seeing as how the Big Beautiful Bill just passed, here's are some websites that offer discounts on medications:

- GoodRx

- SingleCare

- Pharmacy Checker

- WellRx - this one compares prices across different pharmacies

- Cost Plus - thanks to @thedamnqueenofhell for suggesting!

Stay safe, everyone. Things are about to get much, much worse in the US.

EDIT: if you're worried about doctor/therapy appointments, see if there's a sliding scale clinic near you (and ask your therapist if they offer sliding scale prices)

These are a few drawings my friend made of my little sister. I’m showing you these because I don’t know what else to show or what to say anymore to express our situation in northern Gaza. Rent has gone higher, inflation increases every day, one meagre meal a day is a miracle, I’m woken up by hunger cramps the rare times I manage to fall asleep, we’ve run out of painkillers, I’m struggling to finish university, the internet keeps going out, mice and cockroaches crawl over us while we try to sleep, my brother went to an aid distribution center and barely escaped with his life and Soso won’t stop crying.

I don’t know anymore. To tell the truth, I’ve lost all hope. I’m just so tired. If it wasn’t for Soso, I would just give up, delete this campaign and this account and just accept whatever comes. But I can’t because it’s not fair to her, she’s only 4. Children deserve health and happiness. I feel hopeless because I can’t give her that.

Please help me. At least please share if you can’t donate so that this can reach someone who can. I’m not asking you to do it for me but for a child who doesn’t remember a life without pain, hunger and fear. Please.

Yeah….another mutual aid post for black wlw couple :) Juneteenth/pride edition :)

Hey guysss my hours have sort of been cut for early summer/end of the school year bc receptionist staffing depends on how many doctors are working and all of our doctors are moms.

My last check wasn’t even $450. It’s a sad time to get behind not just bc of pride and Juneteenth but bc our anniversary and birthdays are all coming soon back to back 🥹 and rn there isn’t a lot of wiggle room for gifts or celebrations which is really stressing me out tbh- it’s our 3rd year and we’re really excited regardless but it ofc feels bad to be so limited. we are also trying to somehow make a new car happen asap, for rn we’re surviving this heat wave in a car we were gifted for free with no ac and 1 functional window (+ a little sunroof)

My official goal again will be 250 just for partial rent assistance, but frankly more would be a great help rn. I don’t have a lot of recent pics of us together that I can post rn due to dysmorphia :) but here’s a totally unapproved pic of her (she/they) in our janky hot ass car and me (OOGA BOOGA 👹) also in the hot ass car

Can we talk about how white women have been leading these mass kidnapping and deportations in the US or is it a still too touche of a subject to breach about

[referencesformyself]

I'm watching my friend slowly die and I don't know what to do. Starvation, tumors, and depression are eating away at him while he has nothing to eat.

I don't know what to say to make people donate. I'm begging you to donate anything you can to Anas. Any treat you can go without or any extra cash to spare. Ask people to donate. If that's embarrassing to you please know it's infinitely more embarrassing to him. Please.

regularly getting tags like this on my posts about horrific abuses wrt detentions and deportations by the trump administration and just to be clear. you are all baby brained. do you think every single one of the thousands of jackbooted thugs in dhs and ice were hired in the last 3 months. do you think nothing the democrats did had anything to do with leading us here. the road to hell is paved with lesser evils

report released in 2024 documenting louisiana ICE detention centers under biden 2022-2024, same ones currently being used to disappear migrants and pro-palestine political dissidents by the trump admin now:

everything in this post i made 8 months ago about biden & harris admin policies and harris's proposed policies during her campaign when she bragged that she would be tougher on the border than trump. of course you cannot beat trump at this but the fact is she tried to claim that she did as vp and would as president in order to court centrists and moderate republicans, like many democrats last cycle she ran by trying to outflank republicans on the right and in doing so moved the overton window so far that you had liberals happily cheering for border police on stage at the dnc. if you refuse to acknowledge that that is in any way connected to what is happening right now? that democrats also condemning student activists because of their defense of palestine and calling militarized police in to brutalize them for over a year was a direct line to this? that the fact of the palestine exception causing democratic leadership to fail abysmally to respond to early abductions by the trump admin bc they agreed with those disappearances ideologically just at most not in procedure is the very reason those activists were among the first most high profile targets? there's a reason fascists target those people first! because you will blink when it's time to defend them! it's in the fucking poem!! my god
