ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE STOP THE GENOCIDE! END U.S. AID TO ISRAEL! FREE PALESTINE! Palestinian Feminist Collective October 2023 Palestine Digital Action Toolkit
tweet from hebel_jamal that reads: "Palestinians in Gaza are suspicious about posting about their families on social media-there have been a number of cases of Palestinians advocating for their families, only for their next post to be about their deaths. Now they are advising each other not to post, not to advocate"

"We cannot write a free Palestine into existence, but together we must do all we possibly can to reject narratives that soothe Western complicity in ethnic cleansing."
"Do not succumb to hopelessness. Do not become desensitized to suffering. I do not despair. I believe in justice. Whether in this world or the next, we have to believe that justice will be served. That people will be free. Hopelessness is a privilege…and we shouldn’t chose it.
I know people are tired. I am. The amount of times I’ve cried while going from lecture to lecture. The amount of times I’ve gotten frustrated and wanted to quit. To just never talk about any genocide ever again. To be normal. To just be a regular girl. I get it. But we can’t.
We are so privileged to have access to the information we do. We are privileged to have information at our fingertips. We are privileged to have freedom and safety. & those privileges make us uniquely responsible for speaking out against oppression.
And we have to speak. All of us. Whether about Palestine or any other place. None of us are free until all of us are free. And freedom means fighting for it. Not despairing. Not becoming hopeless. But staying hopeful that one day justice will be served.
Vent to your friends. Cry it out. If you feel guilt, feel it. It’s human, it’s normal. Scream out if you need to. Take a walk. Breathe and close your eyes for a bit. But don’t stay quiet. I am begging you, as a survivor of genocide, to not become hopeless."

How else can I support Palestinians right now?
At this moment, the Israeli government’s total blockade continues to severely limit the life-saving humanitarian aid—including food, water, medical supplies, and fuel—that can enter Gaza and reach Palestinians under siege, and supplies are running out. By participating in this auction, you are helping to ensure that medical workers on the ground can quickly gain access to the resources they need, as soon as this is possible. But right now, the most urgent call to action is to raise your voice against the unfolding genocide in Gaza:
Go into the streets and support protests against the Israeli occupation of Palestine happening near you. Here is a compiled list of actions in cities worldwide. Find a local action and get out there!
Call and email your representatives to demand a ceasefire now and an end to US funding for the Israeli military.

back up copies of articles, videos, audio of events/people telling the truth about palestine, congo, sudan, tigray, armenia, & more. social media sites are not to be trusted with archiving and we have to remember that the safest place the truth can reside is in our own hands.
i know people are doing that work (wayback machine/internet archive are two places that do amazing archival work) but just a reminder that if you have external hard drives, are able to print out paper copies, etc. its important to do so
keep track of as many names as you can, as many lives and their life's stories as you can, have so much that you can gather that it feels like the people are right next to you. there is going to be so much more propaganda and it will be subtler more insidious and this is one way to keep a compass for yourself, so that youre never lost. and make sure to do this in community with others who are intent on ending genocide, remembering the lives and people who have been stolen, on uplifting those who are here and still will be here.

"I was asked a question earlier this month. I cannot remember the exact wording, but it went something like “is it sometimes ok to be silent to be at peace with oneself.”
If I had been asked this question at another time, or if the question had been asked using slightly different words, I might have given this answer:
We do what we can, where we can, by recognising our own limits, our capacities, and that can be a way of surviving politically, by which I mean, keeping hold of our commitments. Sometimes, then, withdrawal from a conversation or silence in a situation can be how we keep doing our work.
But in the words “at peace with oneself” I heard something else.

"Peace talks in Jeddah have failed to produce a ceasefire agreement between the army and RSF that would provide much-needed safety and relief.
Both sides have announced a commitment to aid access, a UN-led humanitarian forum and a separate communication mechanism.
However, these outcomes carry little credence as fighting continues on the ground and after several false ceasefire declarations made early in the war.
On 11 October, Sudan's UN representative, aligned with the army, voted no on a UN Human Rights Council vote on a fact-finding mission to investigate abuses committed during this conflict."

after finding out that the blockade of ships carrying bombs to gaza was not the...success that media portrayed it to be (source is Black Powder Press: instagram.com/p/CzXFr9ESk2y/), i wrote this and keeping it for future reference as i continue to learn.
ever since warsan shire shared that clip of kwame ture explaining the difference between mobilizers & organizers, i've been trying to replace "organizers" like the aforementioned with "mobilizers" & barely even that to be honest.
organizing takes a lot of consistent, grounded, knowledgeable work with the ability to discern what information is truthful and necessary, then integrate that knowledge & attain/organize/distribute resources into movement while making sure people aren't left in the dark about what is happening, what actions they are participating in, & what those actions mean.
mobilizers can get people out there, can get them moving, which serves a purpose! but they may not be there for the long haul (makes me think of the black lives matter calls to action being answered or three months (at best) in 2020 and little sustaining effort (outside of black communities) past that.)
when ture explained that malcolm x was a combination of both mobilizer & organizer, i better understood that movements CANNOT depend on mobilizers alone.
organizers keep the walk to revolution going. mobilizers may inspire people to join that walk. a combination of both may create/find/sustain community for people dedicated to the lifelong (and after) pursuit for collective freedom.

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying by Noor Hindi
Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It's so beautiful, the moon. They're so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.

"International inaction against Israeli aggression is part of “a systematic failure to hold Israel to account for decades,” as well as the “absolute double standard” applied to war crimes committed against people of the Global South" --> quote by Noura Erakat

"Since 1948, history has shown that Israel does not abide by the rules of war as set forth by international law, and that it implements what it wants according to its calculations, interests, and goals, because it feels, thanks to unconditional American support, that it is an exception beyond accountability and punishment in the international system."
There have been wars and air campaigns that killed more civilians than in Gaza, but almost none match the intensity and deliberately criminal intent of Israel’s genocidal war.

"This wanton carelessness and dehumanization is why we feel a compelling urge to document and describe everything, big and small, to make sure that people understand what is at stake: “But this was a child,” we want to say, “and this an adult.” Not a thing bound to die a gruesome death in a devastated city but a child who would have grown by the sea, who would have been, perhaps, a good swimmer and bad at math or grown to really love cars or cooking. “And this,” we want to say, “was a residential building, this a restaurant on the seashore, this a house with a garden, where someone played or got into a fight in the kitchen, and this is all gone.” These are people with names, we want to say, and faces too, and lives, and friends grieving them, if they are not themselves now dead; and cities, cities, entire, whole. Real cities and towns which they call their own and which are now graveyards. Pundits on television, meanwhile, talk of the thousands dead as justified collateral damage—but this, we want to say, is the gleeful obliteration of a seashore, of families, histories, cities."

On Solidarity clarifies a key idea in struggles for a more just world. What does solidarity mean, and how can diverse movements build enough of it to change society?
Organizer and political theorist Mie Inouye will be joined by contributors Charisse Burden-Stelly and Nathan R. DuFord for a forum on obstacles to collective action today. Rejecting the language of “allyship” and the politics of deference, On Solidarity makes the case for maintaining solidarity through conflict in durable institutions over time, none of which is possible without the hard work of good organizing.
My name is Jehron Muhammad. As Some know, through marriage and researching and writing and interviewing and speaking at university, and on Sudan tv, while living in Khartoum, and traveling to the surrounding region, I’ve developed a love and appreciation for Sudan and its multi ethnic, multi racial, mostly Black indigenous population. Add to the above the many Sudanese family and friendships I’ve developed.
My Gofund is to raise a small amount for those that I’m aware of, that I’ve spoken to, that are in financial need. Needs include passport cost, visas, transportation cost, food, gas, medical assistance and medicine, rent after being displaced, the list goes on. Whatever you can give, nothing is too small, is much appreciated.
"Since the conflict’s outbreak, all efforts to end the war, both regional and international, have ended in a stalemate, causing the prolonged suffering of civilians in the region. As this genocide begins to unfold, the rest of the world has been silent, refusing to intervene as human rights are blatantly violated. In fact, despite promising humanitarian aid to the country, the United Arab Emirates – along with the Russian Wagner mercenary group – has been accused of sending weapons to Sudan and prolonging the conflict, thereby becoming complicit in the genocide. The international community must condemn these acts and refuse to engage in human rights violations."

"We, the undersigned Sudanese and international civil society groups have come together to sound the alarm on future atrocities being committed in Sudan, based on the patterns of atrocities that have occurred in the previous seven months of war. We call on the international community to take decisive preventative action to prevent further atrocities from being perpetrated. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have captured major Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) garrisons in south, west, and central Darfur, with evidence of crimes against humanity, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and conflict related sexual violence (CRSV) being perpetrated against civilians."

"Note— I wrote this article on October 24th for an international news media brand after an editor reached out asking for me to write a call to queer people to be in solidarity with Palestine. After receiving backlash for publishing their Pro-Palestinian pieces, the magazine decided that they weren’t going to publish the piece. [...]
I’m going to publish the piece here, after the ordeal. I’ve been extremely disappointed with the way major Queer and Gay newspapers haven’t been covering what is happening in Palestine, due to pink-washing campaigns."

"It is not enough to hate and believe in the past to make a revolution. Hatred and belief in the past are sufficient prods for the rebellion phase.

"Halakhe and Hollingworth urge that unless donors step up the humanitarian and diplomatic efforts, including steps to prevent misuse of aid, Sudan and the wider region will witness more suffering and starvation. Not because of a lack of knowledge about the situation but because of a lack of political will, they conclude."
Mosab Abu Toha, award-winning poet from Gaza, has been kidnapped by Israel forces.
Mosab and his family were asked by the State Dept. to evacuate to Rafah Crossing – his 3-year-old son is a U.S. citizen born in Boston. He was snatched by Israeli forces while fleeing Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
It is no surprise that Israel is targeting those who bear witness - poets, journalists, artists.
We are all responsible for the freedom of Palestinians. We will not be silent until there is justice, for Mosab and for all Palestinians. AMosab has a 3 year old son who is an American citizen born in Boston, MA, so Massacusetts Senators and Representatives have an obligation to fight for his family’s wellbeing that we can demand through a collective push for phone calls.

Welcome to Native Cinema Showcase All films on demand November 17–24, 2023
The National Museum of the American Indian’s Native Cinema Showcase is an annual celebration of the best in Native film. For this year’s theme, we highlight films of Indigenous perseverance that inspire, uplift, and triumph against adversity—stories that prevail against the judicial system, generational trauma, and cultural appropriation through love and complex relationships, self-worth, and humor.
The Palestinian Museum Digital Archive was launched to collect various documents including identification papers, official records, letters, diaries, manuscripts, maps, photographs, films, and audio recordings that were under threat of loss, damage, or confiscation.

WHAT IS NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING?
An annual tradition since 1970, National Day of Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many of us fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day (and have a social after NDOM so that participants in NDOM can break their fasts). We are mourning our ancestors and the genocide of our peoples and the theft of our lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in action and solidarity.

"So far, since October 7, when Israel launched its genocidal war in Gaza, Israeli forces have killed more than 239 Palestinians, injured more than 3000 others, and detained at least 3,160 in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to Palestinian official statistics. In Gaza, the death toll stands at an estimated 15,000 and over 33,000 injured."

Today is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. As the genocide in Gaza continues and we are on what could be the last day of this 4 day “pause”, we must take action in solidarity together like never before. It will take all of us, in the millions joining forces from all over the world, to stop this genocide.

“Sexual assault” as propaganda to facilitate /Genocide in Gaza"الاعتداء الجنسي" بروباغندا لمواصلة إبادة غزة
“Sexual assault” as propaganda to facilitate Genocide in Gaza.
The policy of perpetually creating/fabricating pretexts for enabling the genocidal war against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by US President Joe Biden and his administration has been unveiled. It is evidently and manifestly functional to masquerade the massacres committed by the Israeli Occupation war machine. Over 16 thousand Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, have been killed, 40 thousand civilians were injured, and more than 1.7 million Palestinians were displaced from their homes by the effect of this propaganda campaign.
Within their narration to justify the genocide, the US administration adopted, via recitations of its president, the allegations promoted by the Israeli occupation’s propaganda machine regarding the occurrence of “sexual assaults” against Israeli female hostages in the Gaza Strip. No credible evidence or reports from independent international investigative bodies in this regard was provided. Such conduct in endorsing unfounded allegations without due diligence serves as a deliberate distortion of the struggle of the Palestinian people for liberation and their legitimate resistance against an occupying colonial entity. We also note that all previous fallacious allegations, such as the killing of children and burning of civilians/ SETTLERS, were later retracted/negated/denied by the very entities that espoused them.
The US-backed Israeli occupation government is obstructing the entry of any international missions into the Gaza Strip to investigate the horrific crimes committed against the Palestinian people-children, women, and men. It also refuses to cooperate with specialized international bodies to investigate allegations of sexual assault. We call for deploying investigative teams affiliated with credible international institutions that advocate for women to investigate the crimes of the occupation in the Gaza Strip and enquire into/examine/probe the allegations that are being weaponized to justify genocide against the Palestinian people. We stress that the Palestinian people, throughout their long history of struggle for freedom, have not engendered such heinous acts characterising the Zionist movement since its early attacks on Palestinian villages in 1948 until today. Israeli sexual and physical assaults against Palestinian women are constantly confirmed through Palestinian female prisoners’ testimonies and current accounts of women in Gaza. We demand the opening of an independent international investigation to thoroughly examine and document these testimonies. The use of sexual violence as a weapon of war caused real suffering for thousands of women around the world. Colonial powers have used these weapons throughout their history, and we refuse to see them exploited today in the propaganda campaign for genocide.
Ceasefire Now. Down with the killing machine and its propaganda Freedom for Palestine. Freedom for Palestinian women.

Did you know with 85% of the "wealth" of the 400 richest Americans (nearly $3,000,000,000,000) we could:
Eradicate malaria (worldwide)
Test every American for coronavirus
Provide clean water and waste disposal to every human on earth
Eliminate all federal taxes on households earning less than $80,000 for the next four years
Give $10,000 to every American household
and they would still have 500 billion dollars left over.
oh, also! that little $111,405,953,125 is just part of the three trillion mentioned above, if you scroll through you'll see all kinds of things we could be doing with the money that these Americans have built off our backs!
"The indignities threaten to overwhelm. But for those in solidarity with the Palestinian people, there is no time for despair. We owe it to every martyr to fight, we have obligations, we have made commitments. When everything seems designed to generate resignation, to produce acquiescence, those commitments are life-giving, and can see us through till the end. That end may be abrupt, it might be quiet or hard, but refusal is a sign of our aliveness. When a nihilism beckons that cannot be rejected wholesale, we must ask it to be fleeting, and let the productive work set us on a path to something different."

Malik Jaffal, age 13, was shot by the IDF in Palestine a month ago for no other reason than simply walking along the same street as them. A few days back, they raided his house, strip searched the him, and arrested him. The boy, a U.S. citizen, is currently being held in a military prison, interrogated, intimidated, and abused with no access to a lawyer or even to his parents. If he doesn’t falsely confess to the crime of throwing rocks, the occupation forces are threatening to arrest his parents. His mother, Dunia, is of the Mustafa family in Paterson. She posted her story on Instagram and asked that it be shared among the community. If you can spare a moment, please contact the American embassy in Jerusalem to urge for the child’s release.
The Israeli government is aware that Malik is a US citizen and are denying him basic rights. They are forcing him to confess to crimes he did not commit, threatening that if he doesn’t, both of his parents will be jailed. Although a minor, Malik is scheduled to appear in court with no family members allowed to watch.

"In my work as a critic, I’ve often played it safe; devoted my time to works I loved or could situate as a positive contribution to the culture, shying away from being public in my negative critiques. As I read and re-read Ghassan Kanafani’s On Zionist Literature, I am reminded that this work is, in fact, a matter of life-or-death; literatures can set the stage for the attempted annihilation of a people, and it is our responsibility to point to it. How often have I chosen a slow death in service of comfort? The truth is, I have never been able to look around a room and not see the genocidal escalation to come—if the vitriolic disregard for human life, for Palestinian life, did not permeate through to our most mundane of activities, over 18,000 Palestinians would not have been killed in the past 67 days, over 1.5 million would not be displaced from Gaza."
"Read, quote, teach, share the words of living Palestinians. Withdraw from places that benefit from or take a studied and calculated indifference to our spectacular annihilation. Do what Palestinians ask you to; stop trying to be clever or develop your own opinions about something you have spent no time studying, something you have no material stake in. If you have a material stake in Palestinian freedom: by all means speak and act clearly from that, broadcast that clarity wide and loud and elaborate it deeply. Believe in the meaning of your own life without thinking you must be a genius to matter—this is an imperial lie, a patriarchal lie, a capitalist lie, an ableist lie, a white supremacist lie, and only those who wish to support those violences benefit from you believing you have no power."

"For me, the minimum line is always rooted in human rights. If an institution can’t affirm that we are all deserving of clean water, food, and dignity, and cannot condemn the indiscriminate bombing of civilians and civilian infrastructure, then what “cultural” role do they have? Culture is a celebration of people. It depends on people. What is a love of culture without a love of people?"

"underscored in a private post how this was not just about Brené Brown but rather “how white women have failed to show up in a meaningful way or in any way again.”

"In Brené Brown’s worldview, compassion is generated by a shared belief that everyone is “doing the best they can.” The rude cashier, the unaccommodating flight attendant, are all “doing the best that they can.” It is cute this idea and even workable, but it is a prescription best suited to those who are by and large untouched by systemic injustice. It tells us to think that the white cop nailing brown bodies to the pavement is just doing his best—in doing so it furthers the fraud that all our vulnerability is equally valued.
It is too bad then that the Queen of corporate-friendly aphorisms doesn’t understand that those who need the world to change, or perhaps those who must passively bear the complete evisceration of their lives, their families, their homes must be allowed to say to the Brené Browns, to the world, “do better.” Because right now, they most certainly are not “doing the best they can.”

I am a Sudanese American residing in New York, and I am reaching out to you with a plea for urgent assistance. Since April 2023, the ongoing war in Sudan has displaced my family across various states within the country. Among them, my uncle's family is facing an exceptionally dire situation. Family's Current Situation:
Currently, my uncle, his wife, and their four children - Saja, Dania, Shahd, and Ibrahim - are taking refuge in our family home located in a small village in North Kordofan. Fleeing from Khartoum due to the fear of violence and death, they sought safety in this remote village. However, their struggle for basic necessities has been relentless since their arrival. Challenges Faced:
The presence of the RSF, a violent militia known for looting, robbing, and assaulting families, has only added to their hardships. Despite our continuous efforts to support them financially, their situation has worsened over time. This week, the situation has reached a critical point as Shahd, my baby cousin, has contracted both Malaria and Dengue fever. Additionally, my cousin Dania suffers from severe anemia, while Ibrahim, the youngest, is in urgent need of milk. Moreover, my uncle, a diabetic, is running out of insulin, and his wife requires emergency surgery that necessitates leaving the country. Desperate Plea for Evacuation:
The desperate plea from my uncle's family is to evacuate Sudan, especially considering that his children have been deprived of education for nearly eight months. However, the RSF siege on the village has hindered humanitarian aid from reaching them, exacerbating their plight. Financial Struggle:
We have been doing our utmost to provide financial support for legalization process, travel, and necessities since April 2023, but our resources are dwindling, and we lack the funds necessary for their evacuation. Therefore, I implore you to donate whatever you can spare. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in saving their lives and ensuring their safety. What else can you do:
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this plea across your social networks - in group chats, Instagram stories, Twitter, and beyond. Together, we can bring attention to this urgent situation and rally support for my uncle's family during their time of need.
"Schools are among the most powerful socializing agents. The actual purpose of education has been described as “the transmission of culture,” the process by which the culture of a society is passed down to its children (Saldana 2013). This happens most obviously through the formal curriculum, but it also occurs through the “hidden curriculum”—the unwritten rules and unspoken values transmitted to children by their schools, sometimes unintentionally (Giroux and Penna 1979; Jackson 1968).
Teachers have the power through direct modeling and through explicit instruction to shape the future. Teachers are socialized from the beginning to conform to the culture and expectations of other school staff and especially to avoid going against anything that their supervisors suggest, given that they are dependent on them to maintain their careers (Roberts and Graham 2008)."

"Haiti is under a state of emergency, with tens of thousands displaced amid the fighting, and United Nations officials warn the country’s health system is nearing collapse. Ariel Henry was appointed prime minister after the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, but he is currently stranded outside the country after a trip to Kenya, where he was seeking a U.N.-backed security force to help him maintain power. For more, we speak with Haitian American scholar Jemima Pierre, who says the unrest in Haiti today can be traced to decisions made two decades ago by the United States and other outside powers. “The root of this crisis is not last week, it’s not this week, it’s not even Ariel Henry. But we have to go back to 2004 with the coup-d’état,” says Pierre. She adds that because successive security plans have been sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council, “the whole world is participating in the occupation of Haiti unwittingly.”"
"You know, we say the crisis in Haiti is a crisis of imperialism. In 2004, as has been revealed and admitted to, the U.S., France and Canada got together and backed a coup d’état against the country’s first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. And the U.S. Marines flew into his home, put him on a plane with his security officials, his wife and aide, and flew them to the Central African Republic. And people can actually go to the Democracy Now! archives, which covered this live. And I remember listening to this happening live.
And the point of this was that this coup d’état, which was led by two permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, was then sanctioned by the U.N. when these same two members of the U.N. Security Council — and that’s the U.S. and France — basically pushed the U.N. Security Council into sending a multinational military force to Haiti armed under Chapter VII deployment. And that itself was illegal, because the original coup d’état was illegal. The U.S. ambassador to Haiti and the deputy ambassador were in the process — they’re the ones that named who the interim president would be, put together a Council of Sages, and basically restructured Haiti’s elected president. And back then we had 7,000 elected officials; today we have zero. And over time, I say Haiti has been under occupation, because it is this military occupation, the MINUSTAH occupation, that went from 2004 to 2007, that established the Core Group, that — it’s an unelected group of Western officials, including Brazil, which led the military arm of the occupation in 2004 under Lula, which led then — which has been controlling all the actions in Haiti, down to naming who the prime minister would be, Ariel Henry, after the assassination of Jovenel Moïse.
I have to quickly say, though, one of the key things that happened is, in 2010, after the earthquake in Haiti that killed hundreds of thousands, when the U.S. pushed the sitting president, René Préval, to have elections — and the WikiLeaks papers revealed to us later that Hillary Clinton actually flew to Haiti and changed the election results, where Michel Martelly of the PHTK political party did not make the first round, but the U.S. forced the Haitian election council to actually make him — put him in the second round. And so, establishing the PHTK, Michel Martelly, a neo-Duvalierist, as Haiti’s president with under 20% of the people voting, with the largest political party in Haiti, Lavalas, not being able to participate, we set the stage for what we see today. "
"And so, to understand what’s going on in Haiti, we have to understand how the original moment of the 2004 coup d’état led us to the complete destruction of the Haitian state. And if we don’t do that, we don’t understand these current flareups, where people are saying that they want their democracy back and saying that whatever negotiations that are happening outside of Haiti has nothing to do with them because it has not included them."
"I also want to say quickly, just to touch back to the question earlier, is, the reason I say Haiti is a laboratory, because this is the first coup d’état that was sanctioned by the U.N., and Haiti was ruled by a multilateral coalition of all these countries. And so, the U.N. occupation of Haiti, through MINUSTAH and through the Core Group, is multinational, multiracial, and it almost seems as if this is a humanitarian effort as opposed to a coup d’état that has been successful. And so, the whole world is participating in the occupation of Haiti unwittingly, because — and this is how — we have to remember how the U.S. will work, and they will use their proxies to do the dirty work for them."
Congress can't trade our First Amendment rights for cheap political points. The TikTok ban our reps are considering violates our First Amendment rights and lays groundwork for excessive government control over the Internet. Take action.
"And so, the problem is, if this goes on and if they don’t take into account other solutions that Haitians have been putting together — you know, in early 2021, you had La Fanmi Lavalas come up with Sali Piblik, which means that we need to start over and change the system. We had the Montana Accords. We have local groups that actually had a solution before the Moïse assassination. The U.S. government was trying to protect Moïse and basically ignored all these local solutions. And so, now they cannot say that they’re here to help Haiti, as much as trying to figure out how to put in place another unpopular and illegal government, and so then we’ll have the same problem a few years down the line.
The other thing I want to quickly say — I know, in a hurry — is that the people funding these armed groups are part of the oligarchy. And most of the guns and ammunition are coming from the U.S. People must remember that in the late 2022, in early 2023, the Canadian government sanctioned three of the richest oligarchs in Haiti. That’s Gilbert Bigio, Reynold Deeb and Sherif Abdallah. The Canadian government also sanctioned former President Michel Martelly and other — and Laurent Lamothe, his prime minister, all of them because they — for drug trafficking, but also for funding these armed groups. And so, in the news we get, you get these guys that look, you know, like raggedy — ragged and poor, but then the people really funding them, because Haiti does not manufacture guns, are these elites that are behind all the violence. And so I also want to put that into very clear context so that we know that this is a very complex problem that’s very much set up by the 2004 coup, but also perpetuated by the oligarchy and the U.S., which work together to keep Haiti unstable, so that we can say Haiti is ungovernable and we need to come in and save it."
""Guy Philippe was around in 2004. In fact, Guy Philippe was trained by the U.S. in Ecuador and spent a lot of time training in — living and training in the Dominican Republic. So, in the lead-up to coup d’état against Aristide in 2004, what you had is — all the fall of 2003, what you had, Guy Philippe and his armed groups would ransack — would cross into the border and ransack and attack police stations and so on and so forth. Back then, which is fascinating, if you look up in the news, the Western media portrayed him as a freedom fighter. He was the hero standing up against the evil Aristide, according to the West. And so they supported him. And he would say later that he was actually being funded by the CIA and so on.
[...]
Guy Philippe was arrested by the U.S. and put in prison for drug trafficking. And we have to understand this, because even during his trial, there are certain things that were kept secret because it implicated the U.S. government. And so, he served six years in prison as a criminal in the U.S., and now the U.S. dumped him in Haiti in November 2023, after serving six years of a nine-year term.
[...]
everyone pretends that Haiti — you know, are saying that Haiti is at war, and so on and so forth, but the reality is, Guy Philippe is giving interviews to all the mainstream press. Guy Philippe gives more interviews than the local people who are organizing against repression. We don’t hear them in The Washington Post, but we hear Guy Philippe. But I wonder what the U.S. role is for Guy Philippe right now. And as far as I’m concerned, he should be tried for treason, because he was behind — he worked with the U.S. to actually remove our elected president. And so, we have to be very careful about what the U.S. is bringing, what the mainstream media is bringing to us as real and as the situation, when we know the situation is actually very much controlled by the U.S. and the Core Group when it comes to Haiti."
"what’s going on in Haiti is actually very important, because it’s — I don’t think it’s a plan that the U.S. wanted, which is why they rushed Henry to Kenya to sign this bilateral agreement, after the Kenyan courts said that it was unconstitutional for Kenya to send its police to Haiti. But I think things changed faster than they anticipated, and so now they’re scrambling for a new plan in Haiti. And in the meantime, what’s happening is our people, that are the people — the poor people on the ground, are the ones suffering."

"In the city of Omdurman, there is an ongoing initiative being led by Sameh Makki to feed his local community. They receive the funds, buy ingredients and prepare simple meals.
The situation is currently very difficult and donations are weak, as such the kitchen has been forced to turn families away repeatedly.
There are no international aid and relief organizations serving this community. Yet Sameh is doing a great job providing assistance to families in Omdurman during these difficult circumstances of war.
Let us extend our hands in solidarity and support. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a world of difference to those struggling to get by during this war."

I’m a girl with 2 sisters and one brother, My Father passed away two years ago, Ever since the responsibilities have been held on me and my siblings, my mother is going through complications due to her high blood pressure. And we were doing better in life and I was going to Medical school with ambitions to fill up my father’s shoes in taking care of my family, right until the war broke and now I have no idea what do with my future, I have really started to lose hope in everything, we literally lost everything from our home to our refuge in madani, and now we have nothing but two beds and the floor. It’s been almost 10 months since the devastating war started in Sudan, and we live in fear that everyday will be our last day, people are displaced, killed, raped on a daily basis and its literally a nightmare that we hope will end soon. If it wasn’t our last resort I wouldn’t have asked, but please help me and my family travel to KSA, it’s where we used to live, it’s the only place we can call home other than Khartoum, help me seek treatment for mother, her medications are unavailable in Sudan and she requires medical attention as soon as possible, please help me and my family."

y'all please use any other phrase than "eyes on [insert place here]" when it's not sudan.
people have worked really hard to get that hashtag/phrase associated specifically to people of sudan and not everyone will honor that work, but you can.
similar to people using hashtag say his name for black men and hashtag say her name for non-black women, when it was specifically created to highlight the way black women murdered by police are invisibilized, it adds insult to injury.
please don't perpetuate the misuse of black people's work in getting their lives seen and voices heard.

"My family experienced a devastating loss on the 24th of June when our home in Khartoum was bombed while we were all still in it.
We lost my younger brother to this tragedy and words cannot express the pain we endured and continue to endure.
We sought refuge with relatives further north in Sudan, they have been a lifeline during these difficult times and we are immensely grateful for their support.
However, our situation continues to deteriorate as our relatives can no longer afford to support us and we need a place to live.
Now I am reaching out to you for help. Your contribution can make a profound difference in helping us to rebuild our lives and survive during this war. Donations will go directly towards our basic food and housing needs."
"Hello,everyone ! My name is Randa , and my friends organized this fundraiser to help and support my family in finding their way to a peaceful place, hopefully joining me in Rwanda.

aside from being a really important article about sudanese journalism during this war, this article also provides 1) actions that journalists world-over should take/values that should be honored and 2) more places to add to your socials/etc. to keep abreast of information about sudan
"Targeted murders of journalists have plunged Sudan into a total media blackout. This prevents journalists from fulfilling their crucial role in informing the public, upholding journalistic integrity, and exposing the war’s devastating consequences. Millions are suffering, our nation is fractured, and foreign intervention looms.
Beyond silencing free media, the warring parties wage a parallel information war. Propaganda, hate speech, and fabricated news manipulate civilians and obstruct access to truth. Severed communication networks further isolate citizens from loved ones and essential resources.
Despite these daunting challenges, the Sudan Media Forum stands united. We journalists, and media professionals, remain committed to our professional responsibilities. We seek the truth, expose violations, defend human rights, and fight for accountability.
We urge the global community to rally behind the Sudanese people and demand an immediate end to the war through negotiations. This conflict has caused enough suffering and democratic regression."

"The Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA) is issuing guidance to help newsrooms more accurately and critically cover issues related to Sudan.
Sudan is in the middle of a civil war, resulting in a humanitarian disaster, famine, and the world’s largest displacement crisis. Yet coverage of the war by the news media has been minimal. Some experts are calling Sudan’s current conflict the “forgotten war” due to the lack of coverage. AMEJA created this reporting guide in response to requests from industry reporters, editors, and producers for resources to better understand the historical context and nuance.
This guidance was created with input from journalists from the region and media professionals across all types of media platforms. This is not an exhaustive list of guidelines and resources, and AMEJA expects these recommendations to evolve as events unfold."

"Following the devastating results of a rapid nutrition and mortality assessment conducted by MSF in early January, a mass screening of more than 63,000 children under-five, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women, was conducted in March and April. The results confirm that there is a catastrophic and life-threatening malnutrition crisis in Zamzam camp, North Darfur.
Despite having called urgently for support in February when the results of the rapid assessment were published, nearly three months later, MSF remains almost the only international aid agency responding to this enormous crisis – and, as a result, one of the very few able to respond to mass casualty events in El Fasher."
"The conditions people in Zamzam are living in are deplorable. There have been no official food distributions in the camp since May 2023. Although a handful of UN trucks reached El Fasher two weeks ago, nothing reached Zamzam until Monday 29 April. On this date, community leaders were handed food that they were then expected to distribute among the people.
Even before the start of the war, people in the camp received very little support. Food rations were much lower than international standards, there was insufficient clean water and there were only two other health clinics in the vast camp before MSF opened its first one in 2022, both of which are now barely functional. "

This panel discussion will explore the notion of a crip bloc, and methods of disability resistance and solidarity. Disabled people participating in on the ground protest confront numerous inaccessibilities and the realities of the body/mind: vulnerability, immobility, fatigue, over-stimulation, hyper-visibility. Security instructions - wear all black or discrete clothing, cover the face - fail to obfuscate the mobility device or bodily difference, resulting in increased susceptibility to surveillance. Public gathering and proximity to police can result in disproportionate risk, especially for multiply-marginalized people.

"Over six bloody days in June 2000, the Congolese city of Kisangani was the scene of deadly violence between the Ugandan and Rwandan armies. More than 10,000 shells exploded, killing thousands and injuring thousands more.
Since then, victims of the Six-Day War have fought for recognition and compensation. Uganda has been found guilty of war crimes by the International Court of Justice, but the victims remain uncompensated decades later.
Now, they decide to take matters into their own hands. In the first Congolese film to be an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed director Dieudo Hamadi (Mama Colonel, National Diploma, Ladies in Waiting) captures their long journey down the Congo River to voice their claims in capital city of Kinshasa, seeking justice at last."

"I have no recent news concerning my surgeries as I have been treated for different respiratory conditions since my last post.
This GoFundMe was created since November 2022 and I didn’t change the goal as I realized that many people didn’t support my cause.
I want to Thank everyone once again that helped support my cause. Many things have changed and my family and I are trying to do our best to survive every medical crisis our family is facing.
My first born daughter has one of the most aggressive form of cancer including my first son that also needs immediate medical treatment and financial support.
It’s devastating for me as illnesses serve as a barrier and a set back for me and my children in the last few years.
This is another call out for support. Please share the link to anyone that can help thank you."
"the ICC announces that they are calling on people to SEND THEM EVIDENCE of war crimes in Darfur ! this means that all of the RSF videos can all be submitted to them and be used in their case! i will attach evidence below for people to submit to otplink.icc-cpi.int en masse"
"In March of 2020 I was attacked on my way home from work. The man grabbed me, shook me, coughed in my face & laughed ‘You’re sick now’ I thought it was a cruel joke. I was wrong. I had contracted Covid & I never recovered.
I have been diagnosed with ME/CFS, POTS & MCAS. I am mostly bed bound & barely able to manage the most basic of tasks. I have no financial support from from family or government & no supplemental insurance. I have been unable to work since, after over 2 years my savings have been wiped out & my hope of a spontaneous recovery has dwindled. I’ve lost my business & my autonomy."
RE this post about the call to submit evidence to the ICC evidence of war crimes in Darfur
Here is an example of something you can put in the file (you can make it anonymous) and the wording is potentially triggering for the videos and those are for murder and abuse--> i am waiting to see if there is anything more relevant but right now thats what ive submitted:
"For the West, Sudan’s civil war is still flying under the radar. But considering the war broke out in full view and the humanitarian crisis is well documented, the inaction cannot be traced to ignorance of the situation there. The failure to address the crisis, or at least its exacerbating factors, ultimately amounts to a choice."
Despite the enormity of the crisis, the civil war in Sudan has received little to no international attention. The failure ultimately amounts to a choice.

"Hello everyone on behalf of my family and myself, Lama. I am writing this message because my family is now living in tents without basic needs. They are in an extremely difficult situation. Our family lost 2 buildings including 8 apartments in Khanyounis as well as our second home where we went on weekends. We are in total 70 people "uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins, grandchildren". They are still in Gaza faced with horrible humanitarian conditions: living in tents where it is more than 40 degrees. They suffer from lack of food and water in Mawasi. Sanitary conditions are terrible. Since the start of the war in Gaza, we have lost everything and our lives have changed. I am asking for your help because it is the only way I have to save the life and future of my family."

“As we move towards creating a society within which we can each flourish, ageism is another distortion of relationship which interferes without vision. By ignoring the past, we are encouraged to repeat its mistakes. The 'gen-eration gap' is an important social tool for any repressive society. If the younger members of a community view the older members as contemptible or suspect or excess, they will never be able to join hands and examine the living memories of the community, nor ask the all important question, 'Why?' This gives rise to a historical amnesia that keeps us working to invent the wheel every time we have to go to the store for bread.”

"If I had a routine before the war, currently I don’t have any routine. I don’t have any life. I’m waiting my destiny. I’m living my time minute by minute, because we don’t have safety. We can’t plan for the next step, we can’t expect what will happen the next time, if we will stay alive or not or our beloved ones will stay alive or not. So there is no daily routine. All things have been changed — our way to live, our way to cook, our way to clean our clothes. We are living in the shelter with too many people, with thousands, and we had our home before, so it’s a completely different life. It’s not about the daily routine. It’s about a war. Life has been changed because of this war."

Save Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia (the tweet has a thread of whats been happening in sudan, trigger warnings for both are in the next part of the thread)
Call to: Government of Sudan To the Sudanese Ambassador to Ethiopia An appeal to UNHCR A call to all Sudanese and everyone who cares about human rights
"Since May 1, 2024 AD, 6,080 Sudanese refugees have arrived in the Olala Forest after leaving the Olala and Comer camps due to the security unrest there due to the ongoing armed clashes between the Ethiopian forces and the armed opposition militias. They fled from there on foot, intending to reach the Qandar region, but the Ethiopian authorities prevented them from progressing. About 5 km from the camp, they had to stay in the Olala forests.
Seventy-seven days have passed while they were sitting in this forest. They suffered what they suffered. They were afflicted by cold and rain. They were stung by snakes and scorpions. They slept among insects and flies. They ate crocodiles and tree bark. They were attacked by armed militias, including plundering, kidnapping, stealing, beating, threatening, and even... A case of rape of minor girls almost occurred less than two weeks ago.
Next August, they will face the danger of rain due to their presence in the mountains. Some local residents in the area told them that this forest is a stream channel and will be dangerous for you in the fall.
All of these tragedies are documented, photographed, and recorded with videos, photos, and testimonies. Many of them were published via the hashtag #السودانيينالعالقينباثيوبيا , and many of them are collected in a renewed porridge. I update it from time to time. You will find it below. The rest has been kept for the legal side.
The last of these calamities that our refugee people in Ethiopia face are the armed clashes that occur near them from time to time. Today, since the early hours of dawn, strong clashes took place between the federal police and armed militias in the Amhara region, causing the death of a number of soldiers and the capture of some of them. A stray bullet also occurred in Camp Comer injured a child who was in the camp (there are Sudanese refugees in Camp Comer to this day, unlike the refugees in the forest), and the federal police withdrew from the vicinity of the forest.
In fact, the problems are very many, and I did not mention to you their suffering with food and the way to bring it, or how they obtain water or medicine, and where they get medical care, in addition to the murders that occurred by armed groups, the last of which was a Sudanese refugee woman who was killed on Eid. She was pregnant with a fetus, and she was hit by a gunshot in the chest. Head.
So as not to be long for you, this is just a summary of what happened and is still happening to the Sudanese refugees in the Olala forests in the state of Ethiopia. We raise our voice as we demand the speedy evacuation of them from this forest and take them out of Ethiopia. We raise our voice as we demand that the world pay attention to these people. We raise our voice as we call on the influential people and everyone. Someone should publish about the condition of these poor people, make their voice heard, and put pressure on a response.
We renew our appeal and request to continue pressing and publishing to convey their suffering and evacuate them outside the Ethiopian state so that we do not lose new lives."

"COVID goes against a lot of what people in the United States have been told about viruses and what has come to be common sense. The most common viruses in the U.S. are seasonal, but COVID circulates year-round, more like tropical viruses. Moore highlights that this makes COVID fundamentally different from the flu and, crucially, the vaccination cycle for the flu, where annual vaccination works because it can account for the variants that have evolved in the opposite hemisphere. Since COVID circulates everywhere year-round, annual vaccinations are not enough to keep up on the latest variants. Beatrice Adler-Bolton adds that COVID surges in the United States are not related to seasons but rather to moments of intense travel, like Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, the holidays in November and December, and Spring Break."

"Davenport suspects that mild-to-moderate Long COVID might be significantly more widespread than is currently recognized – and that studying athletes might help illuminate the full scope of the issue. Most people aren’t used to pushing their bodies to the limit on a regular basis, so they may not even register milder symptoms like persistent fatigue or an elevated resting heart rate. But elite athletes are used to putting their bodies through the wringer, and when their bodies don’t respond, they notice right away."
Scientists are working to unravel the mechanisms behind Long COVID and some have turned to studying sports competitors to better understand how it affects intense physical performance.

Our friends at Disability Without Poverty and other allies have drafted key recommendations that could strengthen the CDB. If thousands of us flood the consultation to echo their demands to make the CDB well-funded and accessible, we could help tip the scales.

Congress has recently introduced two resolutions to deal with ever worsening crisis in Sudan. Introduced in the Senate (S. Res. 559) and the House (H. Res. 1328) both resolutions recognize the actions of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militia in Darfur, Sudan, as acts of genocide against non-Arab ethnic communities. The resolutions also:
Condemn these atrocities Call for accountability through national and international mechanisms Urge increased humanitarian support for victims Emphasize the need for preventive measures against future genocides Promote international cooperation to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and ensure lasting peace and stability
"Introduced by U.S. Representatives Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) and Carlos A. Giménez (R-FL), the Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act (H.R.4840) requires publicly traded companies to be transparent and divulge any ties to Uyghur forced labor. It would allow both consumers and shareholders to make more informed decisions as they spend and invest their money. The Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act (UFLDA) :
Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mandate all publicly traded companies to release annual reports indicating what goods are sourced from the Uyghur regions of China. Affirms the importance of using outside groups to verify company reports. Empowers organizations and individuals to push for more ethical business practices."
"U.S. Representatives Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Michael McCaul (R-TX) have introduced the Rohingya Genocide, Accountability, and Protection Act, or Rohingya GAP Act (H.R.8936).
The bill seeks to provide protection, support, and humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees and internally displaced people. It also promotes accountability and a path out of genocide and crimes against humanity for the Rohingya."

I know people are tired. I am. The amount of times I’ve cried while going from lecture to lecture. The amount of times I’ve gotten frustrated and wanted to quit. To just never talk about any genocide ever again. To be normal. To just be a regular girl. I get it. But we can’t.
We are so privileged to have access to the information we do. We are privileged to have information at our fingertips. We are privileged to have freedom and safety. & those privileges make us uniquely responsible for speaking out against oppression.
And we have to speak. All of us. Whether about Palestine or any other place. None of us are free until all of us are free. And freedom means fighting for it. Not despairing. Not becoming hopeless. But staying hopeful that one day justice will be served.
Vent to your friends. Cry it out. If you feel guilt, feel it. It’s human, it’s normal. Scream out if you need to. Take a walk. Breathe and close your eyes for a bit. But don’t stay quiet. I am begging you, as a survivor of genocide, to not become hopeless."

from rasha abdulhadi, written up by chrysanthemum
How else can I support Palestinians right now?
At this moment, the Israeli government’s total blockade continues to severely limit the life-saving humanitarian aid—including food, water, medical supplies, and fuel—that can enter Gaza and reach Palestinians under siege, and supplies are running out. By participating in this auction, you are helping to ensure that medical workers on the ground can quickly gain access to the resources they need, as soon as this is possible. But right now, the most urgent call to action is to raise your voice against the unfolding genocide in Gaza:
Go into the streets and support protests against the Israeli occupation of Palestine happening near you. Here is a compiled list of actions in cities worldwide. Find a local action and get out there!
Call and email your representatives to demand a ceasefire now and an end to US funding for the Israeli military.

i know people are doing that work (wayback machine/internet archive are two places that do amazing archival work) but just a reminder that if you have external hard drives, are able to print out paper copies, etc. its important to do so
keep track of as many names as you can, as many lives and their life's stories as you can, have so much that you can gather that it feels like the people are right next to you. there is going to be so much more propaganda and it will be subtler more insidious and this is one way to keep a compass for yourself, so that youre never lost. and make sure to do this in community with others who are intent on ending genocide, remembering the lives and people who have been stolen, on uplifting those who are here and still will be here.

in reply to tj • • •"I was asked a question earlier this month. I cannot remember the exact wording, but it went something like “is it sometimes ok to be silent to be at peace with oneself.”
If I had been asked this question at another time, or if the question had been asked using slightly different words, I might have given this answer:
We do what we can, where we can, by recognising our own limits, our capacities, and that can be a way of surviving politically, by which I mean, keeping hold of our commitments. Sometimes, then, withdrawal from a conversation or silence in a situation can be how we keep doing our work.
But in the words “at peace with oneself” I heard something else.
They gave me another answer.
There are times when we cannot be at peace with ourselves.
There are times when we should not be at peace with ourselves.
We are in those times.
It is not the time to be silent.
Nor at peace with ourselves."

Both sides have announced a commitment to aid access, a UN-led humanitarian forum and a separate communication mechanism.
However, these outcomes carry little credence as fighting continues on the ground and after several false ceasefire declarations made early in the war.
On 11 October, Sudan's UN representative, aligned with the army, voted no on a UN Human Rights Council vote on a fact-finding mission to investigate abuses committed during this conflict."

in reply to tj • • •after finding out that the blockade of ships carrying bombs to gaza was not the...success that media portrayed it to be (source is Black Powder Press: instagram.com/p/CzXFr9ESk2y/), i wrote this and keeping it for future reference as i continue to learn.
ever since warsan shire shared that clip of kwame ture explaining the difference between mobilizers & organizers, i've been trying to replace "organizers" like the aforementioned with "mobilizers" & barely even that to be honest.
organizing takes a lot of consistent, grounded, knowledgeable work with the ability to discern what information is truthful and necessary, then integrate that knowledge & attain/organize/distribute resources into movement while making sure people aren't left in the dark about what is happening, what actions they are participating in, & what those actions mean.
mobilizers can get people out there, can get them moving, which serves a purpose! but they may not be there for the long haul (makes me think of the black lives matter calls to action being answered or three months (at best) in 2020 and little sustaining effort (outside of black communities) past that.)
when ture explained that malcolm x was a combination of both mobilizer & organizer, i better understood that movements CANNOT depend on mobilizers alone.
organizers keep the walk to revolution going. mobilizers may inspire people to join that walk. a combination of both may create/find/sustain community for people dedicated to the lifelong (and after) pursuit for collective freedom.

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying by Noor Hindi
Colonizers write about flowers.
I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli
tanks
seconds before becoming daisies.
I want to be like those poets who care about the
moon.
Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and
prisons.
It's so beautiful, the moon.
They're so beautiful, the flowers.
I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad.
He watches Al Jazeera all day.
I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy
Ramadan.
I know I'm American because when I walk into a
room something dies.
Metaphors about death are for poets who think
ghosts care about sound.
When I die, I promise to haunt you forever.
One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own
them.

Real cities and towns which they call their own and which are now graveyards.

On Solidarity clarifies a key idea in struggles for a more just world. What does solidarity mean, and how can diverse movements build enough of it to change society?
Organizer and political theorist Mie Inouye will be joined by contributors Charisse Burden-Stelly and Nathan R. DuFord for a forum on obstacles to collective action today. Rejecting the language of “allyship” and the politics of deference, On Solidarity makes the case for maintaining solidarity through conflict in durable institutions over time, none of which is possible without the hard work of good organizing.

My name is Jehron Muhammad. As Some know, through marriage and researching and writing and interviewing and speaking at university, and on Sudan tv, while living in Khartoum, and traveling to the surrounding region, I’ve developed a love and appreciation for Sudan and its multi ethnic, multi racial, mostly Black indigenous population. Add to the above the many Sudanese family and friendships I’ve developed.
My Gofund is to raise a small amount for those that I’m aware of, that I’ve spoken to, that are in financial need. Needs include passport cost, visas, transportation cost, food, gas, medical assistance and medicine, rent after being displaced, the list goes on. Whatever you can give, nothing is too small, is much appreciated.

As this genocide begins to unfold, the rest of the world has been silent, refusing to intervene as human rights are blatantly violated. In fact, despite promising humanitarian aid to the country, the United Arab Emirates – along with the Russian Wagner mercenary group – has been accused of sending weapons to Sudan and prolonging the conflict, thereby becoming complicit in the genocide. The international community must condemn these acts and refuse to engage in human rights violations."

It is no surprise that Israel is targeting those who bear witness - poets, journalists, artists.
We are all responsible for the freedom of Palestinians. We will not be silent until there is justice, for Mosab and for all Palestinians.

An annual tradition since 1970, National Day of Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day.

in reply to tj • • •“Sexual assault” as propaganda to facilitate /Genocide in Gaza"الاعتداء الجنسي" بروباغندا لمواصلة إبادة غزة
“Sexual assault” as propaganda to facilitate Genocide in Gaza.
The policy of perpetually creating/fabricating pretexts for enabling the genocidal war against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by US President Joe Biden and his administration has been unveiled. It is evidently and manifestly functional to masquerade the massacres committed by the Israeli Occupation war machine. Over 16 thousand Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, have been killed, 40 thousand civilians were injured, and more than 1.7 million Palestinians were displaced from their homes by the effect of this propaganda campaign.
Within their narration to justify the genocide, the US administration adopted, via recitations of its president, the allegations promoted by the Israeli occupation’s propaganda machine regarding the occurrence of “sexual assaults” against Israeli female hostages in the Gaza Strip. No credible evidence or reports from independent international investigative bodies in this regard was provided. Such conduct in endorsing unfounded allegations without due diligence serves as a deliberate distortion of the struggle of the Palestinian people for liberation and their legitimate resistance against an occupying colonial entity. We also note that all previous fallacious allegations, such as the killing of children and burning of civilians/ SETTLERS, were later retracted/negated/denied by the very entities that espoused them.
The US-backed Israeli occupation government is obstructing the entry of any international missions into the Gaza Strip to investigate the horrific crimes committed against the Palestinian people-children, women, and men. It also refuses to cooperate with specialized international bodies to investigate allegations of sexual assault. We call for deploying investigative teams affiliated with credible international institutions that advocate for women to investigate the crimes of the occupation in the Gaza Strip and enquire into/examine/probe the allegations that are being weaponized to justify genocide against the Palestinian people.
We stress that the Palestinian people, throughout their long history of struggle for freedom, have not engendered such heinous acts characterising the Zionist movement since its early attacks on Palestinian villages in 1948 until today. Israeli sexual and physical assaults against Palestinian women are constantly confirmed through Palestinian female prisoners’ testimonies and current accounts of women in Gaza. We demand the opening of an independent international investigation to thoroughly examine and document these testimonies.
The use of sexual violence as a weapon of war caused real suffering for thousands of women around the world. Colonial powers have used these weapons throughout their history, and we refuse to see them exploited today in the propaganda campaign for genocide.
Ceasefire Now.
Down with the killing machine and its propaganda
Freedom for Palestine. Freedom for Palestinian women.

We owe it to every martyr to fight, we have obligations, we have made commitments. When everything seems designed to generate resignation, to produce acquiescence, those commitments are life-giving, and can see us through till the end. That end may be abrupt, it might be quiet or hard, but refusal is a sign of our aliveness. When a nihilism beckons that cannot be rejected wholesale, we must ask it to be fleeting, and let the productive work set us on a path to something different."

We are calling for justice for Malik!](chng.it/8DBbRfC85S)
Malik Jaffal, age 13, was shot by the IDF in Palestine a month ago for no other reason than simply walking along the same street as them. A few days back, they raided his house, strip searched the him, and arrested him. The boy, a U.S. citizen, is currently being held in a military prison, interrogated, intimidated, and abused with no access to a lawyer or even to his parents. If he doesn’t falsely confess to the crime of throwing rocks, the occupation forces are threatening to arrest his parents. His mother, Dunia, is of the Mustafa family in Paterson. She posted her story on Instagram and asked that it be shared among the community. If you can spare a moment, please contact the American embassy in Jerusalem to urge for the child’s release.
The Israeli government is aware that Malik is a US citizen and are denying him basic rights. They are forcing him to confess to crimes he did not commit, threatening that if he doesn’t, both of his parents will be jailed. Although a minor, Malik is scheduled to appear in court with no family members allowed to watch.
Sign the petition to help this innocent child overcome the injustices of Israeli apartheid now!

As I read and re-read Ghassan Kanafani’s On Zionist Literature, I am reminded that this work is, in fact, a matter of life-or-death; literatures can set the stage for the attempted annihilation of a people, and it is our responsibility to point to it. How often have I chosen a slow death in service of comfort? The truth is, I have never been able to look around a room and not see the genocidal escalation to come—if the vitriolic disregard for human life, for Palestinian life, did not permeate through to our most mundane of activities, over 18,000 Palestinians would not have been killed in the past 67 days, over 1.5 million would not be displaced from Gaza."

Do what Palestinians ask you to; stop trying to be clever or develop your own opinions about something you have spent no time studying, something you have no material stake in. If you have a material stake in Palestinian freedom: by all means speak and act clearly from that, broadcast that clarity wide and loud and elaborate it deeply. Believe in the meaning of your own life without thinking you must be a genius to matter—this is an imperial lie, a patriarchal lie, a capitalist lie, an ableist lie, a white supremacist lie, and only those who wish to support those violences benefit from you believing you have no power."

in reply to tj • • •"In Brené Brown’s worldview, compassion is generated by a shared belief that everyone is “doing the best they can.” The rude cashier, the unaccommodating flight attendant, are all “doing the best that they can.” It is cute this idea and even workable, but it is a prescription best suited to those who are by and large untouched by systemic injustice. It tells us to think that the white cop nailing brown bodies to the pavement is just doing his best—in doing so it furthers the fraud that all our vulnerability is equally valued.
It is too bad then that the Queen of corporate-friendly aphorisms doesn’t understand that those who need the world to change, or perhaps those who must passively bear the complete evisceration of their lives, their families, their homes must be allowed to say to the Brené Browns, to the world, “do better.” Because right now, they most certainly are not “doing the best they can.”

18k/20k raised
launchgood.com/campaign/help_m…
Introduction:
I am a Sudanese American residing in New York, and I am reaching out to you with a plea for urgent assistance. Since April 2023, the ongoing war in Sudan has displaced my family across various states within the country. Among them, my uncle's family is facing an exceptionally dire situation.
Family's Current Situation:
Currently, my uncle, his wife, and their four children - Saja, Dania, Shahd, and Ibrahim - are taking refuge in our family home located in a small village in North Kordofan. Fleeing from Khartoum due to the fear of violence and death, they sought safety in this remote village. However, their struggle for basic necessities has been relentless since their arrival.
Challenges Faced:
The presence of the RSF, a violent militia known for looting, robbing, and assaulting families, has only added to their hardships. Despite our continuous efforts to support them financially, their situation has worsened over time. This week, the situation has reached a critical point as Shahd, my baby cousin, has contracted both Malaria and Dengue fever. Additionally, my cousin Dania suffers from severe anemia, while Ibrahim, the youngest, is in urgent need of milk. Moreover, my uncle, a diabetic, is running out of insulin, and his wife requires emergency surgery that necessitates leaving the country.
Desperate Plea for Evacuation:
The desperate plea from my uncle's family is to evacuate Sudan, especially considering that his children have been deprived of education for nearly eight months. However, the RSF siege on the village has hindered humanitarian aid from reaching them, exacerbating their plight.
Financial Struggle:
We have been doing our utmost to provide financial support for legalization process, travel, and necessities since April 2023, but our resources are dwindling, and we lack the funds necessary for their evacuation. Therefore, I implore you to donate whatever you can spare. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in saving their lives and ensuring their safety.
What else can you do:
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this plea across your social networks - in group chats, Instagram stories, Twitter, and beyond. Together, we can bring attention to this urgent situation and rally support for my uncle's family during their time of need.

in reply to tj • • •"Schools are among the most powerful socializing agents. The actual purpose of education has been described as “the transmission of culture,” the process by which the culture of a society is passed down to its children (Saldana 2013). This happens most obviously through the formal curriculum, but it also occurs through the “hidden curriculum”—the unwritten rules and unspoken values transmitted to children by their schools, sometimes unintentionally (Giroux and Penna 1979; Jackson 1968).
Teachers have the power through direct modeling and through explicit instruction to shape the future. Teachers are socialized from the beginning to conform to the culture and expectations of other school staff and especially to avoid going against anything that their supervisors suggest, given that they are dependent on them to maintain their careers (Roberts and Graham 2008)."

in reply to tj • • •"Haiti is under a state of emergency, with tens of thousands displaced amid the fighting, and United Nations officials warn the country’s health system is nearing collapse. Ariel Henry was appointed prime minister after the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, but he is currently stranded outside the country after a trip to Kenya, where he was seeking a U.N.-backed security force to help him maintain power. For more, we speak with Haitian American scholar Jemima Pierre, who says the unrest in Haiti today can be traced to decisions made two decades ago by the United States and other outside powers. “The root of this crisis is not last week, it’s not this week, it’s not even Ariel Henry. But we have to go back to 2004 with the coup-d’état,” says Pierre. She adds that because successive security plans have been sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council, “the whole world is participating in the occupation of Haiti unwittingly.”"

The World Is Participating in the Occupation of Haiti Unwittingly, Scholar Says
Amy Goodman (Truthout)tj
in reply to tj • • •"You know, we say the crisis in Haiti is a crisis of imperialism. In 2004, as has been revealed and admitted to, the U.S., France and Canada got together and backed a coup d’état against the country’s first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. And the U.S. Marines flew into his home, put him on a plane with his security officials, his wife and aide, and flew them to the Central African Republic. And people can actually go to the Democracy Now! archives, which covered this live. And I remember listening to this happening live.
And the point of this was that this coup d’état, which was led by two permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, was then sanctioned by the U.N. when these same two members of the U.N. Security Council — and that’s the U.S. and France — basically pushed the U.N. Security Council into sending a multinational military force to Haiti armed under Chapter VII deployment. And that itself was illegal, because the original coup d’état was illegal. The U.S. ambassador to Haiti and the deputy ambassador were in the process — they’re the ones that named who the interim president would be, put together a Council of Sages, and basically restructured Haiti’s elected president. And back then we had 7,000 elected officials; today we have zero. And over time, I say Haiti has been under occupation, because it is this military occupation, the MINUSTAH occupation, that went from 2004 to 2007, that established the Core Group, that — it’s an unelected group of Western officials, including Brazil, which led the military arm of the occupation in 2004 under Lula, which led then — which has been controlling all the actions in Haiti, down to naming who the prime minister would be, Ariel Henry, after the assassination of Jovenel Moïse.
I have to quickly say, though, one of the key things that happened is, in 2010, after the earthquake in Haiti that killed hundreds of thousands, when the U.S. pushed the sitting president, René Préval, to have elections — and the WikiLeaks papers revealed to us later that Hillary Clinton actually flew to Haiti and changed the election results, where Michel Martelly of the PHTK political party did not make the first round, but the U.S. forced the Haitian election council to actually make him — put him in the second round. And so, establishing the PHTK, Michel Martelly, a neo-Duvalierist, as Haiti’s president with under 20% of the people voting, with the largest political party in Haiti, Lavalas, not being able to participate, we set the stage for what we see today. "

in reply to tj • • •"And so, to understand what’s going on in Haiti, we have to understand how the original moment of the 2004 coup d’état led us to the complete destruction of the Haitian state. And if we don’t do that, we don’t understand these current flareups, where people are saying that they want their democracy back and saying that whatever negotiations that are happening outside of Haiti has nothing to do with them because it has not included them."
~Jemima Pierre
tj
in reply to tj • • •"I also want to say quickly, just to touch back to the question earlier, is, the reason I say Haiti is a laboratory, because this is the first coup d’état that was sanctioned by the U.N., and Haiti was ruled by a multilateral coalition of all these countries. And so, the U.N. occupation of Haiti, through MINUSTAH and through the Core Group, is multinational, multiracial, and it almost seems as if this is a humanitarian effort as opposed to a coup d’état that has been successful. And so, the whole world is participating in the occupation of Haiti unwittingly, because — and this is how — we have to remember how the U.S. will work, and they will use their proxies to do the dirty work for them."

in reply to tj • • •"And so, the problem is, if this goes on and if they don’t take into account other solutions that Haitians have been putting together — you know, in early 2021, you had La Fanmi Lavalas come up with Sali Piblik, which means that we need to start over and change the system. We had the Montana Accords. We have local groups that actually had a solution before the Moïse assassination. The U.S. government was trying to protect Moïse and basically ignored all these local solutions. And so, now they cannot say that they’re here to help Haiti, as much as trying to figure out how to put in place another unpopular and illegal government, and so then we’ll have the same problem a few years down the line.
The other thing I want to quickly say — I know, in a hurry — is that the people funding these armed groups are part of the oligarchy. And most of the guns and ammunition are coming from the U.S. People must remember that in the late 2022, in early 2023, the Canadian government sanctioned three of the richest oligarchs in Haiti. That’s Gilbert Bigio, Reynold Deeb and Sherif Abdallah. The Canadian government also sanctioned former President Michel Martelly and other — and Laurent Lamothe, his prime minister, all of them because they — for drug trafficking, but also for funding these armed groups. And so, in the news we get, you get these guys that look, you know, like raggedy — ragged and poor, but then the people really funding them, because Haiti does not manufacture guns, are these elites that are behind all the violence. And so I also want to put that into very clear context so that we know that this is a very complex problem that’s very much set up by the 2004 coup, but also perpetuated by the oligarchy and the U.S., which work together to keep Haiti unstable, so that we can say Haiti is ungovernable and we need to come in and save it."

in reply to tj • • •""Guy Philippe was around in 2004. In fact, Guy Philippe was trained by the U.S. in Ecuador and spent a lot of time training in — living and training in the Dominican Republic. So, in the lead-up to coup d’état against Aristide in 2004, what you had is — all the fall of 2003, what you had, Guy Philippe and his armed groups would ransack — would cross into the border and ransack and attack police stations and so on and so forth. Back then, which is fascinating, if you look up in the news, the Western media portrayed him as a freedom fighter. He was the hero standing up against the evil Aristide, according to the West. And so they supported him. And he would say later that he was actually being funded by the CIA and so on.
[...]
Guy Philippe was arrested by the U.S. and put in prison for drug trafficking. And we have to understand this, because even during his trial, there are certain things that were kept secret because it implicated the U.S. government. And so, he served six years in prison as a criminal in the U.S., and now the U.S. dumped him in Haiti in November 2023, after serving six years of a nine-year term.
[...]
everyone pretends that Haiti — you know, are saying that Haiti is at war, and so on and so forth, but the reality is, Guy Philippe is giving interviews to all the mainstream press. Guy Philippe gives more interviews than the local people who are organizing against repression. We don’t hear them in The Washington Post, but we hear Guy Philippe. But I wonder what the U.S. role is for Guy Philippe right now. And as far as I’m concerned, he should be tried for treason, because he was behind — he worked with the U.S. to actually remove our elected president. And so, we have to be very careful about what the U.S. is bringing, what the mainstream media is bringing to us as real and as the situation, when we know the situation is actually very much controlled by the U.S. and the Core Group when it comes to Haiti."

But I think things changed faster than they anticipated, and so now they’re scrambling for a new plan in Haiti. And in the meantime, what’s happening is our people, that are the people — the poor people on the ground, are the ones suffering."

I’m a girl with 2 sisters and one brother, My Father passed away two years ago, Ever since the responsibilities have been held on me and my siblings, my mother is going through complications due to her high blood pressure.
And we were doing better in life and I was going to Medical school with ambitions to fill up my father’s shoes in taking care of my family, right until the war broke and now I have no idea what do with my future, I have really started to lose hope in everything, we literally lost everything from our home to our refuge in madani, and now we have nothing but two beds and the floor.
It’s been almost 10 months since the devastating war started in Sudan, and we live in fear that everyday will be our last day, people are displaced, killed, raped on a daily basis and its literally a nightmare that we hope will end soon.
If it wasn’t our last resort I wouldn’t have asked, but please help me and my family travel to KSA, it’s where we used to live, it’s the only place we can call home other than Khartoum, help me seek treatment for mother, her medications are unavailable in Sudan and she requires medical attention as soon as possible, please help me and my family."

Some staff at the hospital have stated that they don’t believe or take seriously ME symptoms and are speculating that it is a mental illness/eating disorder, even though it is stated by WHO and NICE that ME is a physical and complex neurological illness."

in reply to tj • • •aside from being a really important article about sudanese journalism during this war, this article also provides 1) actions that journalists world-over should take/values that should be honored and 2) more places to add to your socials/etc. to keep abreast of information about sudan
"Targeted murders of journalists have plunged Sudan into a total media blackout. This prevents journalists from fulfilling their crucial role in informing the public, upholding journalistic integrity, and exposing the war’s devastating consequences. Millions are suffering, our nation is fractured, and foreign intervention looms.
Beyond silencing free media, the warring parties wage a parallel information war. Propaganda, hate speech, and fabricated news manipulate civilians and obstruct access to truth. Severed communication networks further isolate citizens from loved ones and essential resources.
Despite these daunting challenges, the Sudan Media Forum stands united. We journalists, and media professionals, remain committed to our professional responsibilities. We seek the truth, expose violations, defend human rights, and fight for accountability.
We urge the global community to rally behind the Sudanese people and demand an immediate end to the war through negotiations. This conflict has caused enough suffering and democratic regression."

"The Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA) is issuing guidance to help newsrooms more accurately and critically cover issues related to Sudan.
Sudan is in the middle of a civil war, resulting in a humanitarian disaster, famine, and the world’s largest displacement crisis. Yet coverage of the war by the news media has been minimal. Some experts are calling Sudan’s current conflict the “forgotten war” due to the lack of coverage. AMEJA created this reporting guide in response to requests from industry reporters, editors, and producers for resources to better understand the historical context and nuance.
This guidance was created with input from journalists from the region and media professionals across all types of media platforms. This is not an exhaustive list of guidelines and resources, and AMEJA expects these recommendations to evolve as events unfold."

Despite having called urgently for support in February when the results of the rapid assessment were published, nearly three months later, MSF remains almost the only international aid agency responding to this enormous crisis – and, as a result, one of the very few able to respond to mass casualty events in El Fasher."

Although a handful of UN trucks reached El Fasher two weeks ago, nothing reached Zamzam until Monday 29 April. On this date, community leaders were handed food that they were then expected to distribute among the people.
Even before the start of the war, people in the camp received very little support. Food rations were much lower than international standards, there was insufficient clean water and there were only two other health clinics in the vast camp before MSF opened its first one in 2022, both of which are now barely functional.

This panel discussion will explore the notion of a crip bloc, and methods of disability resistance and solidarity. Disabled people participating in on the ground protest confront numerous inaccessibilities and the realities of the body/mind: vulnerability, immobility, fatigue, over-stimulation, hyper-visibility. Security instructions - wear all black or discrete clothing, cover the face - fail to obfuscate the mobility device or bodily difference, resulting in increased susceptibility to surveillance. Public gathering and proximity to police can result in disproportionate risk, especially for multiply-marginalized people.

The initiative has been working since the outbreak of war last April. Through the initiative, a field clinic was established inside the displacement camps in Chad, and a Troma Center, a kindergarten for children, a retreat for Quran memorization, and a sports league for youth were established.
Also, daily meals are distributed to the children of the camp, at a rate of two meals a day for two thousand children

Subject: Urgent Aid for Sudanese Refugees in Ethiopia-Amhara Region
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to urgently request assistance for
6,080 Sudanese refugees who fled Olala camp due to militia attacks. They are stranded in the bush between Olala Camp and Gondar City, and have been without food for five days.
The group includes children, disabled individuals, and elderly people in dire need of shelter, food, and water.
Immediate intervention is crucial to prevent further suffering.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,

in reply to tj • • •"Over six bloody days in June 2000, the Congolese city of Kisangani was the scene of deadly violence between the Ugandan and Rwandan armies. More than 10,000 shells exploded, killing thousands and injuring thousands more.
Since then, victims of the Six-Day War have fought for recognition and compensation. Uganda has been found guilty of war crimes by the International Court of Justice, but the victims remain uncompensated decades later.
Now, they decide to take matters into their own hands. In the first Congolese film to be an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed director Dieudo Hamadi (Mama Colonel, National Diploma, Ladies in Waiting) captures their long journey down the Congo River to voice their claims in capital city of Kinshasa, seeking justice at last."

Help support Long COVID Recovery- Surgeries
"I have no recent news concerning my surgeries as I have been treated for different respiratory conditions since my last post.
This GoFundMe was created since November 2022 and I didn’t change the goal as I realized that many people didn’t support my cause.
I want to Thank everyone once again that helped support my cause. Many things have changed and my family and I are trying to do our best to survive every medical crisis our family is facing.
My first born daughter has one of the most aggressive form of cancer including my first son that also needs immediate medical treatment and financial support.
It’s devastating for me as illnesses serve as a barrier and a set back for me and my children in the last few years.
This is another call out for support. Please share the link to anyone that can help thank you."

The severe injuries required emergency neurosurgery, which saved his life, but his journey toward recovery is far from over. He still has shrapnel lodged under his lungs, awaiting another critical surgery. Without further medical treatment, he may never walk again and could face a lifetime of paralysis.

gofundme.com/f/help-lamas-fami…
"Hello everyone on behalf of my family and myself, Lama. I am writing this message because my family is now living in tents without basic needs. They are in an extremely difficult situation. Our family lost 2 buildings including 8 apartments in Khanyounis as well as our second home where we went on weekends. We are in total 70 people "uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins, grandchildren". They are still in Gaza faced with horrible humanitarian conditions: living in tents where it is more than 40 degrees. They suffer from lack of food and water in Mawasi. Sanitary conditions are terrible. Since the start of the war in Gaza, we have lost everything and our lives have changed. I am asking for your help because it is the only way I have to save the life and future of my family."

Politicians across the US – from North Carolina, to New York State to Chicago – are pushing for mask bans. We all have a responsibility to fight this attack on our rights, our bodily autonomy, our privacy and our health. If you stopped masking, now is a good time to reengage with this practice in public spaces, and particularly in political gatherings. If you are organizing an event, please require and distribute high quality masks as visible expressions of solidarity.

in reply to tj • • •“As we move towards creating a society within which we can each flourish, ageism is another distortion of relationship which interferes without vision. By ignoring the past, we are encouraged to repeat its mistakes. The 'gen-eration gap' is an important social tool for any repressive society. If the younger members of a community view the older members as contemptible or suspect or excess, they will never be able to join hands and examine the living memories of the community, nor ask the all important question, 'Why?' This gives rise to a historical amnesia that keeps us working to invent the wheel every time we have to go to the store for bread.”

I’m living my time minute by minute, because we don’t have safety. We can’t plan for the next step, we can’t expect what will happen the next time, if we will stay alive or not or our beloved ones will stay alive or not. So there is no daily routine. All things have been changed — our way to live, our way to cook, our way to clean our clothes. We are living in the shelter with too many people, with thousands, and we had our home before, so it’s a completely different life. It’s not about the daily routine. It’s about a war. Life has been changed because of this war."

"Since May 1, 2024 AD, 6,080 Sudanese refugees have arrived in the Olala Forest after leaving the Olala and Comer camps due to the security unrest there due to the ongoing armed clashes between the Ethiopian forces and the armed opposition militias. They fled from there on foot, intending to reach the Qandar region, but the Ethiopian authorities prevented them from progressing. About 5 km from the camp, they had to stay in the Olala forests.
Seventy-seven days have passed while they were sitting in this forest. They suffered what they suffered. They were afflicted by cold and rain. They were stung by snakes and scorpions. They slept among insects and flies. They ate crocodiles and tree bark. They were attacked by armed militias, including plundering, kidnapping, stealing, beating, threatening, and even... A case of rape of minor girls almost occurred less than two weeks ago.
Next August, they will face the danger of rain due to their presence in the mountains. Some local residents in the area told them that this forest is a stream channel and will be dangerous for you in the fall.
All of these tragedies are documented, photographed, and recorded with videos, photos, and testimonies. Many of them were published via the hashtag #السودانيينالعالقينباثيوبيا , and many of them are collected in a renewed porridge. I update it from time to time. You will find it below. The rest has been kept for the legal side.
The last of these calamities that our refugee people in Ethiopia face are the armed clashes that occur near them from time to time. Today, since the early hours of dawn, strong clashes took place between the federal police and armed militias in the Amhara region, causing the death of a number of soldiers and the capture of some of them. A stray bullet also occurred in Camp Comer injured a child who was in the camp (there are Sudanese refugees in Camp Comer to this day, unlike the refugees in the forest), and the federal police withdrew from the vicinity of the forest.
In fact, the problems are very many, and I did not mention to you their suffering with food and the way to bring it, or how they obtain water or medicine, and where they get medical care, in addition to the murders that occurred by armed groups, the last of which was a Sudanese refugee woman who was killed on Eid. She was pregnant with a fetus, and she was hit by a gunshot in the chest. Head.
So as not to be long for you, this is just a summary of what happened and is still happening to the Sudanese refugees in the Olala forests in the state of Ethiopia. We raise our voice as we demand the speedy evacuation of them from this forest and take them out of Ethiopia. We raise our voice as we demand that the world pay attention to these people. We raise our voice as we call on the influential people and everyone. Someone should publish about the condition of these poor people, make their voice heard, and put pressure on a response.
We renew our appeal and request to continue pressing and publishing to convey their suffering and evacuate them outside the Ethiopian state so that we do not lose new lives."

today.com/health/coronavirus/w…
on the one hand, i am extremely thankful that 1) she is recovering and 2) this made national news
but i am absolutely terrified that if she hadn't been a white woman, hadn't had good insurance, hadn't had the ability to take off work then we never would've known. and that means this has definitely happened to people who were not privileged enough to receive support to recover.

By strengthening The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in the next farm bill, lawmakers can help ensure food banks are ready to provide a steady flow of healthy foods when disaster strikes. Tell lawmakers to act!

in reply to tj • • •"COVID goes against a lot of what people in the United States have been told about viruses and what has come to be common sense. The most common viruses in the U.S. are seasonal, but COVID circulates year-round, more like tropical viruses. Moore highlights that this makes COVID fundamentally different from the flu and, crucially, the vaccination cycle for the flu, where annual vaccination works because it can account for the variants that have evolved in the opposite hemisphere. Since COVID circulates everywhere year-round, annual vaccinations are not enough to keep up on the latest variants. Beatrice Adler-Bolton adds that COVID surges in the United States are not related to seasons but rather to moments of intense travel, like Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, the holidays in November and December, and Spring Break."

Most people aren’t used to pushing their bodies to the limit on a regular basis, so they may not even register milder symptoms like persistent fatigue or an elevated resting heart rate. But elite athletes are used to putting their bodies through the wringer, and when their bodies don’t respond, they notice right away."

Please help me take legal action against my former employer for firing me unjustly. I was fired with no warning and very little explanation beyond my boss telling me "Your views do not align with ours." He would not explain further just let me go and had security waiting to escort me out.
I would like to remain anonymous as I fear that I am already being blackballed from getting hired locally, as other friends of mine have experienced the same."

in reply to tj • • •(Canada) The federal government has launched public consultations on how the Canada Disability Benefit — the first-ever national disability benefit — should work.
From deeply unreasonable eligibility requirements to a measly maximum of just $6 a day – the government’s current proposals for the CDB fall short of their promise to lift millions out of poverty.
Our friends at Disability Without Poverty and other allies have drafted key recommendations that could strengthen the CDB. If thousands of us flood the consultation to echo their demands to make the CDB well-funded and accessible, we could help tip the scales.
Add your voice now.

Congress has recently introduced two resolutions to deal with ever worsening crisis in Sudan. Introduced in the Senate (S. Res. 559) and the House (H. Res. 1328) both resolutions recognize the actions of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militia in Darfur, Sudan, as acts of genocide against non-Arab ethnic communities. The resolutions also:
Condemn these atrocities
Call for accountability through national and international mechanisms
Urge increased humanitarian support for victims
Emphasize the need for preventive measures against future genocides
Promote international cooperation to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and ensure lasting peace and stability
Click here to tell your Members of Congress to co-sponsor House and Senate resolutions in support for the people of Sudan.

in reply to tj • • •"Introduced by U.S. Representatives Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) and Carlos A. Giménez (R-FL), the Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act (H.R.4840) requires publicly traded companies to be transparent and divulge any ties to Uyghur forced labor. It would allow both consumers and shareholders to make more informed decisions as they spend and invest their money.
The Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act (UFLDA) :
Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mandate all publicly traded companies to release annual reports indicating what goods are sourced from the Uyghur regions of China.
Affirms the importance of using outside groups to verify company reports.
Empowers organizations and individuals to push for more ethical business practices."

The bill seeks to provide protection, support, and humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees and internally displaced people. It also promotes accountability and a path out of genocide and crimes against humanity for the Rohingya."
