Breaking | The union of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thousand Madleens to Gaza, is only 140 nautical miles from Gaza right now.

The flotilla is sailing with nearly 150 people from 30 countries.

A digital maritime tracking map showing the eastern Mediterranean Sea near Gaza. The flotilla’s route is marked in blue, with a circular waypoint labeled “8” positioned about 140 nautical miles northwest of Gaza. The Gaza coastline is shaded in red, indicating a restricted or high-risk zone.

Pritzker also calls out the National Governors Association.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Our taxes are funding this, while Con leaders blame black and brown people for the misfortune *they caused*, they work us to the bone, always trying to keep our heads below the water. For what? A shitty economy, defunded healthcare, looming famine, financial/mental depression, and this: Shame On US

DHS is repelling from helicopters into apartment buildings to raid them and zip tie children in the middle of the night while saying "fuck them kids." They're shooting at people on the streets and lying about it.

This is a hostile occupying force that is a threat to everyone's safety.

The famine that has exhausted the people in Gaza has also weakened the dogs, making them extremely ferocious.

They tried to kill this woman because she annoyed them and they are charging because she lived. Her being alive is an assault on them.

We are trying to survive, but everything has stopped. We keep showing you what we have lost because this is all we can do — tell our story, hope that someone will care.
We don’t want luxury. We don’t want anything but to live our lives. Just to breathe, to eat, to feel safe again.
