I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

UPDATE: PROOF OF PURCHASE NORTH GAZA

Mahmoud was able to put together 125 food packages for the starving families of North Gaza using the first $8,000 we raised. These packages contain flour, sugar, zaatar, chickpeas, tomato sauce, hibiscus, and oil, as you can see in the video.

He will do another food run after receiving the remaining donation funds after tomorrow.

Please consider donating today or spreading the word. I cannot emphasize how badly they need aid. The drive will be ending tomorrow! Please spread this around as much as possible!!

Here is a previous post describing the situation in North Gaza.

Please note that the first $75000 in SKYVOIP was raised over the past month for our ongoing campaign in Rafah. This north Gaza drive is from March 4-10 and will start from the $75000 mark. The goal is to raise $25000 by the end of tomorrow.

Saw a TikTok talking about how it's supposed to be Strawberry season in Palestine, apparently they taste so sweet they call them red gold. There was this sweet picture of an elderly lady holding strawberries, i had to draw her.

I’m just here to remind everyone once again that we can’t stop protesting and boycotting and spreading the word for Palestine, even if it’s been a while. The people in power (mainly the Israeli and US governments) are relying on us losing steam.

And I do want to mention that a small bit of hope to be found among all of this is that things aren’t losing steam. I still see dozens of posts about Palestine every day, I see footage of protests almost every day, and the boycotts are working. I just want to encourage everyone that we just need to keep it up! I’ve seen so many social issues fade out over time, a week of outrage and then things settle down, but that isn’t the case here and I really respect everyone who’s still posting and protesting and seeking out information to end this once and for all. Focus on that hope, and use it to keep going :)

THIS!!!!!!!!!! most of us feel like we aren't doing enough because we can't physically stop a genocide but speaking helps!! pressuring helps!! boycotting helps and protesting helps!! please don't give up on Palestinians not when the entire world has turned their backs on them

Me: portraying Hamas as unreasonable and subhuman only suits to serve Israel and justify ethnic cleansing. We must deconstruct how they are portrayed and while not excusing what they’ve done, understanding them beyond the label of terrorist, which is wildly racialized and has been used to malign several freedom fighters who are working toward decolonization/liberation, is vital to understanding their political aims. What if we held the same nuance for them? Why is Israel allowed to brutalize and maim civilians but aren’t labeled terrorists? Why is colonial violence so justified that the violence from occupied people is never understood to be a necessary means of resistance. How can we challenge the narratives we hold that continuously paints a resistance group as subhuman stupid animals that must be wiped off the face of the planet. The best way to end the violence of Hamas is to end the violence of settler colonialism.

Smart people with the best reading comprehension: okay but they are terrorists though?? Do you condemn them?

“Military court proceedings are conducted entirely in Hebrew, the official language of the Israeli state, but one that most Palestinians in the West Bank do not understand. Military courts consistently fail to provide professionally trained interpreters, impeding the ability of the defendant and defense counsel to understand the proceedings and legal documentation attached to the case, including the charges against the defendant.” - Apartheid in the Occupied West Bank: A Legal Analysis of Israel’s Actions [2022], p.13.

Quick context about the 150 Palestinians that Israel will release from its prisons in exchange for 50 hostages held by Hamas as part of the 2023 "ceasefire" agreement:

Among the ones who will be released today will be 24 Palestinian women and 14 Palestinian children.

There are currently 7,200 Palestinians held by Israel, this number does not include prisoners from Gaza like day workers who were kidnapped by Israel.

2,300 of the Palestinian prisoners are administrative detainees, which means they are held indefinitely without charges.

Since October 7, Israel had imprisoned 3,145 Palestinians in the West Bank alone, 250 of whom are children, a number which is unprecedented since 1967.

Remember that israel will continue to hold about 250 Palestinian children in its prisons under brutal conditions.

While Israel has been sloppily playing the victim part and desperately trying to make this about ~Khamas~, it is crucial to note that all of the above numbers are from the West Bank alone, where Hamas does not operate. This is a reminder that Israel is routinely aggressive against Palestinians regardless of their age, where they are, political affiliations, etc...
