Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Screenshot includes a freeze frame from a video of a baby in Gaza with a large abdominal sore, with a watermelon digital sticker overlying where the baby’s vagina is visible on the original video. There is skin irritation on the inside thigh of the other leg as well, which is what the mother was trying to show.

Post says: “literally, my child will die if we don’t quickly save [her] life with emergency surgery. I am poor, I have no money, and I don’t want to lose my child. I beg you and implore you to save my child. The story is on the donations page. Donate via the link.” After that, the same link provided in my post is displayed. Please click the link in my post to navigate to the donations page to help this poor family.

It's legitimately disturbing how many people are being persuaded by rhetoric, video editing, and basic marketing. If you want to know why we're totally fucked and nothing short of revolution will fix this, that's why. People in the US don't understand the difference between words and actions.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

i would love if universal basic income was a thing here because i think disabled people having to go through a horrible humiliation ritual + then get denied anyway + have to go to court is such a twisted, fucked up way to go about things

Is it really necessary to say out loud exactly why America needs Dolly Parton to stick around for at least the next 3+ years?

A news item that says Freida Parton is asking people to pray for her sister Dolly, who has been having health issues.

A leaked memo shows Trump is trying to deny furloughed federal employees the backpay they are legally entitled to after the government shutdown ends. This won’t be allowed to stand. And it’s because of a law he signed!

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.
