Starting a new post and linking directly to the fundraisers because Bluesky accounts are getting deleted so often. I will then comment with the Bluesky account below the fundraiser so you can follow or chat with them and try to update as needed. I also fixed the graphic because it was bugging me.

Dark rust-colored text on an off-white background that reads, from top to bottom:

#FreePalestine
Gazan Fundraisers
Donate & Boost
DM me to be added

At the bottom is a graphic of multiple hands holding Palestinian flags.

„I arrived in southern Gaza
with my children, walking six
hours without anything
Now I'm sitting in a tent shared
with my brother
We have no tent, no mattress,
& no food
Visit us, donate, or repost.
We want to buy a tent, food,
clothes, and mattresses
we are tired“

This labeler will be shutting down. We will first be unlabeling everyone who is labeled and then will cease to operate. As the unlabeling operation will take an unknown amount of time, we are not setting a specific timeline other than as soon as possible.

And now they've deleted Sahar again. How much sorrow must they create before they are satisfied? How thirsty are they for blood? These monstrous bastards do you know what you do to a woman going through the greatest horror of her life when you take away her only lifeline? They will pay.

This was twenty-three months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 16,365 kids since.

November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.

“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”

At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.

We know more about the massive military-style raid on a Chicago housing complex thanks to the reporting of @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @blockclubchi.bsky.social, and neighborhood resident Eboni Watson who chronicled the event. Among the emerging questions: what's real estate's role in this?

section of text from South Side Weekly's coverage, which says: "The building was purchased by Wisconsin-based investor Trinity Flood in January 2020, according to Cook County records. On October 1, the day after the raid, a judge reviewed an emergency motion from Wells Fargo seeking to appoint Matthew Tarshis of Frontline Real Estate Partners as the property’s receiver.

Flood purchased three multifamily properties in South Shore in 2020. The neighborhood, which had the highest number of eviction filings in Chicago from 2015-2019 according to the Law Center for Better Housing, has seen a rise in outside real estate investors since the 2017 announcement of the Obama Presidential Center’s construction in the neighboring Jackson Park.

Wells Fargo Bank foreclosed on the building in mid-2024, bringing a $27 million lawsuit against Flood for missed loan payments. In late 2024, the City began closing its largest migrant shelters and, through state funding assistance distributed via Catholic Charities and moving support from New Life Church, relocated many families to buildings such as this one."

Good time to remind people to donate to Blacksky. AppViews are very expensive to run, and Rudy and his team are doing a lot of good work

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 21h

I've been radio silent because I'm in the process of standing up an app.bsky.* API server (aka app-view aka Barnes & Nobles). This is an expensive and time intensive operation that I didn't want to do until it was necessary.
It's a fail-safe not a differentiator in experience, but important 7/11
