Fun Fact

Any religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them, is a spiritually moribund [at the point of death] religion.
Capitalism and colonialism took community away from us and I want it back. I’ve heard about it from my grandparents and in books and articles online. All throughout history and still today in some parts of the world. People looking out for each other. Regularly. Relentlessly. Neighbors watching each others children, having enough food to share and actually sharing it, being invested in each others lives because everyone has different strengths.
Today community has been strategically painted as a weakness and something to be skeptical of because it is a threat to the very foundations of capitalism. And that’s a real fucking shame because in reality, growing up with community and still having that through adulthood would probably make most people generally happier and less perpetually tired and stressed. It is renewable resilient versatile adaptable self-sustaining and kind of the Ultimate Resource.

Received this comment and picture today and felt compelled to share with you all.
Her words resonate profoundly with me. The sentiment shared is truly moving. It's inspiring to witness individuals from diverse backgrounds embrace and pay homage to traditions like Passover with such genuine empathy.
This gesture exemplifies the epitome of human compassion and understanding, showcasing the beauty of our shared humanity. It's a poignant reminder of the boundless potential for kindness and connection within our global community.
I’m thankful she entrusted me with this touching glimpse into her family's journey. May their lives be enriched with continued moments of profound reflection and unity.
Beyond sharing in Hebrew, the support I receive on my platforms during these horrid times in my homeland and abroad lift me up daily.
No more arms transfers! Ceasefire now. The hostages must come home.

Last week, President Biden expressed his outrage over the Israeli military’s killing of seven World Central Kitchen workers directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Within hours, the Israeli cabinet voted to increase aid deliveries in Gaza — a welcome sea change in its months-long siege that can help tens of thousands of people avoid famine.
There’s no need to wait for the Israeli military to make another deadly decision for President Biden to do all he can to save lives now. President Biden should enforce U.S. law immediately to suspend U.S. military aid to Israel and ensure the indiscriminate killing of aid workers and mass starvation of Palestinians ends today. We need the focus to shift to peace negotiations, rescuing the hostages, and rebuilding.
The U.S. government is likely the only one capable of swaying the Israeli government from deepening the crisis and tipping the entire region into all-out war. It must do so. Americans overwhelmingly want the carnage to stop.
Thanks.

There are a lot of celebrities I love that I slowly lose respect for every day that goes by that they continue to (publicly) act oblivious to the weight they could hold against countless humanitarian atrocities going on all around us.
I’ve never been subject to mass public scrutiny the way famous people are but I know full well that the absolutely obscene amounts of money should more than make up for this occupational stress.
Bc it really gets to me that I can’t even hold a steady income or afford adequate healthcare/treatment for disability & chronic illness, yet I still feel sick-to-my-stomach guilt every 5-10 minutes just wishing I could do more.
Meanwhile rich people are like….exploring space and the deep sea for fun. launching cute new product lines and doing silly fun promos. traveling across the world and back real quick in their private jets. Certainly NOT feeling sick 24/7 wishing they could do more. Because they can absolutely do so much more but they don’t. And if it meant enough to them, they would. Period.
"...so many of us who have grown up with the Internet had this weird experience of a felt sense of 'we-ness', because the borders that used to work to keep us separate from each other - we transcended those, the Internet helped us transcend those. There's a sense of planetary belonging."

In their efforts to build a global community of female cyber warriors, the Terror Sisters go beyond circulating the usual ISIS propaganda materials, unedited war footage and theological justifications for a violent jihad.
