So Farah (@farahmoo2) has been having trouble getting her funds transferred for the past week now. Her organizer Nassima sends her an acceptance transfer notice, which, after accepting it, is supposed to prompt a security code to be sent to Farah's phone.

The only problem is, no security code ends up being sent. This has caused a massive amount of stress for Farah and made her worried gofundme would deactivate her account. Her sister @/nesmamomen has been trying to help her out, but they are unable to identify the problem.

Transcript of the voice recording: "It seems that my conversion may be cancelled. I don't know. There's a lot of problems."

On top of this, Farah's family has been dealing with the upcoming winter, having to rebuild their tent after being flooded so it can better withstand the rain and cold. Her internet access is now so bad that she has also been unable to use tumblr for a while now, as that needs consistently good bars in order to load.

I'll keep you guys updated on what's happening, but in the meantime you can also talk to and support Farah, Nesma, and Shahad (@/shah599) via their Telegram group chat. If there are any tech savvy/gofundme experts out there who can help Farah out, please do!

I just think it's weird how tumblr eats my posts about Kamala

Anyway I had written a kinda long post that requires much more labor that I don't feel like entirely rewriting right now so I'll just post part of it and instead of it being a wall of text I made it a meme. Yw.

And it's straight and to the point cuz I'm so tired of this broken site and everyone else arguing with me about Kamala being a Nazi

She is, just targets the Jewish people who don't serve American interests...which is just the same Nazi policy with different words.

Bonus, cuz I started making this post and couldn't help myself:

My other post had sources that proved Kamala hit AT LEAST 9 of Hitler's 25 point program. This is just one point before y'all start on your "being similar in one way isnt proof of anything" bs

(I might make it a thread if that happens but y'all can do your own labor so I'm not gonna rush to do it for you)

And in case it went over your head: 9/25 is is a 36% policy match. And the ONLY reason I didn't check to see if she matched any others is because the post I wrote was already so long. But it's definitely ≤50% which is Way too high for my comfort.

For example her "opportunity economy" that promises to rebuild the middle class and provide the elderly with more support?

Yeah.

People didn't vote for Hitler the Man Commiting Genocide. They voted for Hitler the Progressive Union Man Who Cares About the Working Class.

Then they looked away when it came to anything that wasn't domestic policy because domestically he served "the common interest" of Germans. Who cares what he did to Poland or Belgium or Norway or-...he was good for Germans.

And that's what mattered to Germans. And not being willing to serve your fellow Germans was dubbed as prioritizing "self interest" by the Nazi party.

Sound familiar?

Likewise if I don't vote Kamala I must not be American, I must be Russian psyop or a bot for making this post, or perhaps Very selfish?

Yeah

Hey I know there's a lot of focus on the US because of their election but to any Canadians who might need to hear this: There are multiple Provincial/Territorial elections and local bi-elections coming up and the outcome of those can have a radically bigger difference on your everyday life than the National ones depending on where you live (education, healthcare, cooperation with the Feds to GET you more things). Make sure your voting registration is up to date and you are informed on your candidates!

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/services/political-activities/election-calendar.html

Here's a list of who's having elections this year. Also make sure you're registered to vote in both local AND National elections NOW so that you're ready for it when the time comes

If any other country turned thousands of everyday items into bombs and detonated them with no ability to distinguish between civilians and targets, it would rightly be called terrorism and an act of war. And yet because of Biden and his predecessors extreme sheltering of Israel form any kind of consequences, nothing will be done about it.

Every day I come onto this site and try to think of a better, more convincing method of trying to get people to donate to stagnating fundraisers.

I am very disappointed that Hashim & Laila's, Mohammed Eid Matar's, and Yahya's fundraisers have barely budged over the past week, despite the regular updates they and the people promoting them have been giving.

Mohammed (@mohammedmatat) desperately needs a new tent for his family for the upcoming winter. We have already heard stories about heavy rain this week, which the average tent provides little protection for. Farah (@/farahmoo2), for example, has told us that her family's tent got flooded this week, and needed to be rebuilt. A tent in Gaza costs anywhere between $200-$1000 depending on the quality (not including bedding or a toilet), and building one isn't that much cheaper than a ready-made one. I was hoping to get Mohammed's fundraiser to at least the 2k mark by the end of the week, yet we're still at €1,350. Mohammed is only 23, and has two young siblings to take care of, who not only have been injured over the past year, are now, if they do not get access to safe shelter by the time the winter chill sets in, at risk of getting sick. (don't forget that there has been an outbreak of polio in Gaza as well, and they've only recently started the first rounds of vaccinations for children under 10).

Hashim & Laila (@hashimsafadi) are also at an abysmally low amount, still at €1,362 despite the fundraiser being up since Apr 23. Without jobs, how can two people live off of €1,362 for five months? How can you live off of that, put up with being displaced several times, living constantly under threat of being killed in unsafe areas? Being exposed to massive heat waves, suffering "contamination, intestinal infections, skin rashes, jaundice, and infections of the joints, bones, and teeth"? You can't.

Hashim & Laila will also be needing a safe and sanitary environment to live in for the upcoming winter! Please help them out.

And finally, Yahya Bkheet. Yahya has been tirelessly working to get his family, including three children under 10, out of Gaza. They were given until Aug 23 to raise €30k so they could all evacuate together, yet they didn't even make it to the 5k mark. That hasn't stopped Yahya from continuing to try. He has posted an update today of his situation: his mother needs treatment for her heart disease and diabetes, they need at least $200 to fix up the tent for the upcoming winter, his child Anas has contracted a skin disease from the polluted water, and his other child Mira has the flu and needs money for medicine.

They have only raised €5 today! They deserve better than this. Please help this family out.

Living conditions will not be the only thing for these three families to worry about for the upcoming winter. There's also the question of food. A few days ago, it was reported that Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza. That means 83% of required food aid will not make it into Gaza, up from the 34% that did not make it in 2023. That means the average Gazan eating two meals day will now drop to just one meal every other day. This makes the recent post @/omgthatdress made yesterday telling everyone to report people who send fundraiser asks, and just donate to aid organizations instead, that much more harmful. Guys, there's hardly any aid coming in! From July-September 2024, fresh meat prices have increased by 366%, and fresh fruit 228%. Please give Gazans a chance and donate to vetted fundraisers if you can, so they can at least buy their own groceries. When the cold weather sets in, people naturally become hungrier. Children cannot survive off of one meal every other day. A couple, whose dream is to go back to school and start a family of their own, cannot survive off of one meal every other day.

In other news, there has also been an update from the Mona Abu Hamda Team, who run a mutual aid fund which provides essential supplies such as blankets, food, flour, charcoal for cooking, sanitary products, and financial aid for necessities such as baby milk. There has apparently been a decrease in donations, and they are currently sitting at €75,639 of their €100,000 target. Please also consider donating to them to help Gazans out this winter.

The hypocrisy is glaring: the same regime that intentionally blinded peaceful ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ protesters in Iran is now offering medical care to Hezbollah operatives who lost their eyesight to pager explosions.

Two years ago, when people took to the streets to peacefully protest the brutal murder of #MahsaAmini at the hands of the morality police, the IRGC and some Hezbollah operatives shot people in the eyes and blinded them. Now, on the second anniversary of the uprising, the very regime’s ambassador to Lebanon and its other proxies have lost their eyes.”

really feeling that "extreme statements and satire of them are often indistinguishable" sentiment in regards to that wiki holy hell

see: the entirety of the US Republican Party at the moment

you’d think the whole campaign was a joke if Trump’s name hadn’t been on the actual presidential election ballot

[athena5898]

(CW:panic, explosion) I don't normally post these but I think it's important for people to get the scope of understanding how BAD this was. You see "exploding pager" or "exploding communication device" and you don't really understand how bad the explosions are. There is a reason these things killed people and injured so many.

Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it." / X

To all Palestine supporters 🙏

I am Khaled from Gaza - I and my family of 5 live in northern Gaza. A very difficult life. My father traveled with my brother abroad to register him in the university to study medicine. The crossings were closed and we became separated. We have no source of income. As you know, the situation in the north is no food, no medicine, and no security. I hope you stand by us and help us provide the necessities of life we need‼️

Your donations are important for our survival

Please help me reach our goal as soon as possible 🙏

We appreciate your help ❤️🙏
