Hamdan is a father of eight living in northern Gaza, he's struggling to feed his family, if you can help him please do, things are desperate there right now: gofund.me/a4503298

Please help Mohammed and his five children, they need some help to try to escape before things in Gaza get even worse: www.chuffed.org/project/rebu...

Ahmed is 22 and he lives in a tent in Gaza with ten family members, please help them if you can: gofund.me/b6085537

Evergreen post

Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh's origin story is one we should remember frequently. The IDF learned how to shoot 12 year old girls in the head from British paratroopers.

If you don't have empathy for innocent babies getting bombed, you should at least be angry that your government talks to you like you're stupid

Please help Sahar and her four children, they have been displaced five times and now their only hope is to get enough money to escape from Gaza. gofund.me/d6418ba2

This is the outcome everyone deserves.

Anas & Ahmad are young men who just wanted to study and qualify and make their country a better place. Their GoFundMe has links to their insta & facebook if you need proof. Please help them if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/Help-Anas-...

Kneecap just released the names of their legal team and I would say if you were betting on the UK to win this, I hope you're getting very good odds on it. I'm not a law fanboy but at least two of the names on there are legends in the fight against British colonialism.

Please help Tariq if you can: gofund.me/e9b8d4f1

I think this was the last thing Waseem managed to post before he got completely cut off.💔

"When asked why they were refused permission to remain in Ireland, a number of the men quoted the phrase, “the interest of the state is more than individual interest” as the reasoning given to them by immigration officials." Jesus that's dystopian shit www.thejournal.ie/deportations...

Be aware: in England and Wales* these rights do not apply. If you remain silent it can be held against you, especially if you later use as your defence something you could “reasonably” be expected to have said at the time. *not sure about Scotland and Northern Ireland, different legal systems

This thread on Loyalist paramilitary involvement in the Ballymena pogrom, and the puzzling lack of interest in it from UK news media & the judiciary, is well worth your while:

This happened six days ago, clearly it's nothing to do with anything going on right now www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250607-ira...

We will soon find out

People in the West Bank were afraid that this was coming - that once Gaza had been sufficiently subdued, they'd be next. Please don't miss this because of all the noise about Iran.

I recall that Al Qaeda said straight out in 2001 that their aim - I paraphrase - was to provoke the US into demonstrating that it was a brutal oppressor across the whole region, via client regimes. A lot of people said it was crazy to give them exactly what they were asking for. But

Twitter and Facebook are harming us. Radicalising people into racism and other inane cruelties, and fomenting violence on our streets. They should be subject to the same publishing restrictions and responsibilities as other publications

💔💔 sometimes to be here holding the weight as best we can, trying to hold our siblings through this grief, is something we can do 💔💔 I love Alaa and the girls and I can't stand this

Amal asked me to post this picture of a 25 kg bag of flour. She really wants to buy one for her children but the price has reached 400 dollars, which is out of her reach. And she needs to keep Naser strong after his op too. gofund.me/ada35961

With Twin Peaks landing on #MUBI why not read my old @lwlies.com interview with Audrey Horne lwlies.com/first-person...

Everyone in children's publishing looking round at each other like "Is it time? Is it finally time???"

Hama was a nurse in the ER department in the largest hospital in Gaza, he's caring for his mother and his autistic little brother, they're displaced but he's still volunteering in healthcare when he can, he's trying to get his family out. Please help him if you can: gofund.me/3cb8c285

Help Hasan feed his family. www.gofundme.com/f/help-duaas...
