For a full year, @premthakker.bsky.social pressed the US to investigate the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab.

We document his yearlong reporting and investigation in our film “One Year Since Israel Killed Hind Rajab. Why Has the US Ignored the Murder of a 6-Year-Old Child?”

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City.

"He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent."

It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

Alright Anas has had a few chuffed dupes of his GoFundMe- but this is actually a real chuffed started by him (I confirmed it off this platform). He still has a GoFundMe but they have been holding his money for a month so he started a chuffed too
Look at us, world we're starving in Gaza. Your support our only hope for survival. Prices are insane, and we can't afford anything without your help. My family hasn't received any aid; we buy at sky-high prices
We still desperately need you

Glad they verified that Ahmed Altaban is a real person… guess who has also done that bsky.app/profile/momm...
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hamood (Ahmed). Hamood and his family of 8 live in Deir al Balah. He was studying to be a biomedical engineer before the war began- now he and his family are struggling to find food. Also his dear mother is suffering from some health issues.

This isn’t a war. It’s a genocide. Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/aDDoV0r8
Sign the petition - stop genocide now!

Here is a very recent interview that Ismail Abu Hatab did on June 14, 2025 to celebrate his exhibit.
Ismail was the founder of ByPal (By Palestine) which aimed to help Palestinian filmmakers and photographers to rely on themselves in producing and sharing their work.
Again, Ismail was killed today.

The report was released as Israel’s total aid blockade on Gaza has entered its third month, with Israel blocking all goods — food, medicine, water, and other essential supplies — from entering Gaza, creating a humanitarian catastrophe in which Palestinians face death at every turn.

Roughly 500,000 Palestinians are experiencing “catastrophic” hunger levels, the latest food insecurity report finds.

Priority #1 is preventing a Conservative win. While polls do not favor this, it is not impossible.

Remember - YOU DON'T NEED TO VOTE STRATEGICALLY IN MOST RIDINGS. Only if Conservatives are in danger of winning b/c of a split vote.
