We got card payments set up!! Thank you to my friend who helped me!!!

Ahmed is a business major. Graduation is coming up soon. Can we help him complete it?

Ahmed reached out to me to get help sharing his campaign, and eventually, I was able to help set one up in USD. The US dollar carries a lot more value in conversion than other currencies, so this was a big step in the right direction. As we've been talking, we've become good friends. We chat and I've been trying to offer him some peace during these times. As someone with family in Lebanon, I understand the stress of seeing the people you love go through something terrible. Don't let him feel hopeless, please.

He's been unable to sleep, rest, or get any comfort. On top of all that, he wants to be able to complete his education. Palestine will be free, and he will have a life to live and rebuild after all of this. Getting a degree will help that, and let's be honest here, who doesn't want to pursue their dreams?

He's majoring in business management! He was hopeful before this war! Please, don't let him lose that. Donate, however small. Even just 5 or 10 dollars could make a difference. Show some compassion to my friend

We've already been able to send over some money to him via international transfer. Can we keep it up?

I want to see my friend happy. Help Ahmed get through this.

the great thing about the wuxia genre is you can start a sect called the Evil Blood Cult in a place called Demon Mountain that’s a volcano full of poison and you all wear crazy gothic black and red hanfu and practice Sinister Backstabber Style kung fu and like. that’s not a deterrent to prospective disciples. do all that and a fuckton of bright eyed youngsters will still show up at your door and say hello i would like to join the demon mountain evil blood cult where do i sign up?

I don't see the purpose of USAmerican flags in ICE protests. It's like protesting Hitler for not being the Nazi you want in charge of Nazi Germany by waving around a swastika.

genuinely to me the avg european/aussie/nz complaint about usamerican hegemony on here basically parses as – we also participated in the various genocides of the wretched of the earth! in fact we pioneered many of methods of extermination first! why haven't we been rewarded with as much power!?!

[easyas123abc]

From my understanding white phosphorus alone is provided to israel ONLY by the US.... Americans are complacent, compliant and complicit in this genocide make no mistake that the genocide starts in amerikkkan soil and very little next to nothing is done materially to stop it.

Don't forget when the dock union workers continued to send military supplies despite their own strike.

the hopepunk platitude that 'most people would develop measured opinions on marginalised demographics if they were simply exposed to them in everyday life' doesn't work because 99% of people have a switch in their head that they can flip in order to stop seeing the person in front of them as a person and instead as property, property for utilitarian benefit to themselves. you can tell when someone flips their switch while talking to you

Like I know we flee here from the smouldering ruin of our civilisation at the moment but I as a mid-40s year old need you guys to know

Netanyahu has been saying Iran is close to nuclear weapons for 30 years

He has wanted a war with Iran that whole time

The "they have nuclear weapons" was the reason the allied west invaded and flattened Iraq in 2003 and it also turned out to be a lie

Tulsi Gubbard who is the head of US Intelligence signed a statement less than two weeks ago confirming it is America's belief that Iran is not currently pursuing nuclear weapons

Talks between the US and Irani delegation were expected to take place on Sunday, and the Irani lead negotiator was interviewed as saying he felt positively about the possibility of a new deal

Netanyahu bombed Iran and killed that exact negotiator on Friday.

There is heaps of footage of Netanyahu claiming Iraq had WMD/nukes, he was a lead proponent of the war on Iraq.

History is fucking repeating and it is MADDENING. I was at protests against the Iraqi invasion in 2002/2003. We all knew there were no nukes. US and Israel wanted regime change in Iraq anyway so they could install puppets and that's exactly what they're doing in Iran.

People will study this period in history and go, "WHY DID NO ONE STOP NETANYAHU AND ISRAEL IN GAZA, IRAN AND THE WIDER MIDDLE EAST? WHY DID THE MEDIA NOT COMMENT ON THE FACT ISRAEL HAS NUKES AND HASN'T SIGNED A TREATY BUT IS CLAIMING TO BE UPSET ABOUT A FICTIONAL SITUATION WHERE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE APPARENTLY DOING THE SAME?"

Like it's funny, nobody is saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran is good. Nobody even likes Khamenei, but lest you forget the Iraq war, overthrowing that leadership and replacing it with a western puppet is gonna do more harm than good.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

Over 200 years of paleontology and still nobody can equal the perfection of naming Tyrannosaurus rex. Like that specific name, for that specific animal. Paleontologists have been trying for years to do better and failing miserably.

average westerner: pays pennies for a product that should be a hundred times more expensive, on aliexpress/temu/etc, where more appropriately expensive options exist, without looking at reviews or doing any basic research on the seller like they would for amazon

product: arrives and is exactly the quality they paid for (i.e. cheap)

average westerner: this is a scam. This is proof that made in china shit is shit

I do kind of fucking hate the “i love the way men love” masterpost because while the stories are of course very moving! it pisses me off to no end the way that it’s framed like invention and grand acts of devotion are this inherently masculine phenomenon opposed to the feminine inclination to just say “I love you” and it just gets circulated around and around uncritically for years lmao

It's jarring to see how many people deeply believe that the progressive solution to the oppression minorities face in their countries is to distill each country into its constituents and give each group its own mini ethnostate.. do you, by any chance, know if the mossad is hiring? Should we send women to Venus and men to Mars?

feel like if the ways people defended the diversity of cultures in the US were applied to a different settler colony like israel people would see it as a type of settler insecurity so instantly. "you forgot about the indigenous people! we have many non-white immigrant cultures!" come on man
