Regular person, trying to think critically and learn compassionately. Retweets and likes not an endorsement, occasionally calling attention to something vile.
X has a lot of bad faith, “gotcha”, holier-than-thou, propaganda-ready tweets… I try to be here to learn and share knowledge and compassion where I find it. (People seem to engage more authentically, compassionately, and knowledgeably on TikTok❤️)
What do children in Gaza dream of becoming when they grow up? https://t.co/dT6xhwzZFU
One girl said her dream was to die, so she could be with her father who was killed. An answer that no child should ever give.
Their dreams have been shaped by what they have lived through.
The children at Hassan School spoke about their hopes for the future. Many said they want to become doctors and nurses so they can treat the wounded, just as they have watched medical teams care for their injured parents, siblings, friends, and neighbors. Others dream of traveling abroad - to reunite with loved ones forced to leave Gaza for lifesaving medical treatment after the occupation devastated the healthcare system, separating families simply trying to survive.
Despite everything, our children continue to dream, and hold onto hope. They deserve a future where their ambitions are shaped by opportunity, not by loss, grief, and survival.
Protect Gaza's children. Help us keep providing them with education, support, and a place where they can continue to dream. Donate to our Refaat Alareer Camp.

People are very uncomfortable with the fact that Flock Cameras investor Peter Thiel shared over 2,400 emails with Jeffrey Epstein and now Flock cameras are pointed at little kids playgrounds
Just take this location, “Here's a flock camera pointed directly at the schoolyard, monitoring where each kid walks, how they get home, if there's an adult with them, which car is picking them up”
But it even gets worse than this, I’ll provide in the video an area next to a kids water splash pad that has a huge amount of Flock cameras pointed right at it
They say it’s because the cameras are there for enhanced security at high risk locations, but the connection to Epstein has people more than concerned about these camera placements
Anti-fascists: “We shouldn’t support Ukraine because their government is controlled by nazi forces”
Liberals: “You can’t say there are nazis in Ukraine that is Putin propaganda!”
Ukrainian military at every chance they get: “We are nazis”
I have no fucking idea where my far distant ancestors were at 3000 years ago .......
but I KNOW I'm NOT indigenous to wherever the fuck it was ....
can't go there and steal other people's land and homes based off of it
wouldn't even if I could
because I'm not a cunt
Families are living in tents that have become ovens beneath the summer sun. They have lost their homes. More painfully, they have lost parents, children, spouses, siblings, nieces and nephews, and entire generations of loved ones. They have already endured more than anyone should ever have to bear. https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
Now, as aid disappears and donations decline, they are being abandoned once again.
On July 11, The Sameer Project distributed 518 rice and kofta meals to displaced families, including 513 meals at Radwan Camp 6 in North Gaza, and 5 meals to a family sheltering elsewhere around the camp. This distribution cost $1,440 after 11% banking fees.
Please stand with Gaza. Help The Sameer Project keep delivering food…we are terrified to tell them, after they have lost everything else, that we also cannot assist.

The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that police pulling your phone's location is a search.
It puts every Flock camera in the country on notice.
Here's what changed for your rights:👇
DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”
Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program in 2003.
He negotiated. He complied. He handed over the centrifuges and the documentation and accepted international inspectors and did everything the West said a responsible leader should do.
He believed the deal.
He believed that compliance would produce security.
In 2011, NATO bombed his country for seven months.
Hillary Clinton, upon hearing of his death, after he had been captured, sodomized with a bayonet, and killed by a mob, appeared on camera and laughed:
"We came, we saw, he died."
Kim Jong-un watched this.
The Iranian leadership watched this.
Every government on Earth that was considering what compliance with Western demands actually produces watched this.
Gaddafi is the lesson.
Not the lesson the West wants to teach.
The lesson history actually teaches.
The empire does not reward disarmament.
It schedules it.
Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.
Not all displacement camps are clustered together, sharing resources. Not all are near main roads. Not all can be reached easily with food or water deliveries. And certainly not all are close to city centers or community kitchens. https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
This hajja describes carrying water on her head every day, her back aching from the long walk, only to continue acts that is done searching for food. Survival is measured in miles and kilometers here.
When funding allows, The Sameer Project reaches these overlooked camps with food parcels. But this distribution took place a month ago. Today, because donations have fallen so dramatically, we no longer have the funding to continue these distributions.
On June 30, our team delivered 30 fruit parcels to Al-Amer Camp near Al-Wadi Bridge in Deir al-Balah. Each parcel contained apples, oranges, apricots, bananas, and plums - fresh food that families rarely have the chance to eat. The entire distribution cost just $602 including the 11% banking fees incurred.
These camps have not become less hungry. They have simply become harder for us to reach because we no longer have the resources.
Help us return to these families. Help us make sure they are not forgotten. Donate to our Food and Water link.

North Gaza is far more densely populated than the South, with the majority of families living in this ever shrinking area as the yellow-line blocks move farther east reducing the areas people can inhabit. https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
With all these people, the competition for water is enormous. There is just not enough, and now due to decreasing donations we will have to cut back on how much and where we provide it. How can we break this news to those who are already struggling??
On July 5, Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal) x The Sameer Project distributed 314,000 liters of fresh clean drinking water in the North.

Standard histories completely ignore the role of the USSR in the gains we achieved during the civil rights movement.
One reason why elites were motivated to address Jim Crow was that the Soviets were getting easy propaganda layups because America was so overtly racist.
There is no functioning power grid in Gaza. There is no reliable electricity to light homes, operate clinics, or power essential medical equipment. The infrastructure was destroyed by the occupation, leaving individual camps, buildings, and medical facilities dependent on solar panels and generators.
But generators require fuel, and fuel is extremely expensive - especially when the occupation severely restricts the amount of diesel allowed into Gaza.
Our Tawbah Clinic needs electricity to operate dental equipment, provide oxygen, run nebulizers so babies can breathe, and give doctors enough light to properly examine and treat their patients.
When the generator powering our clinic recently broke down, our doctors and nurses were forced to improvise. They continued caring for their patients under the most impossible conditions, refusing to abandon the community that depends on them. https://t.co/LLwKJegeB1
But dedication alone cannot power a medical clinic.
Please donate to our Medical Campaign and help us afford the fuel, repairs, and electricity needed to keep Tawbah Clinic lit, functioning, and open for the hundreds of patients who rely on it every day.

May this courage spread like a wildfire so all decent nations boycott not only diplomatic relations, but weapons, trade and economic exchange.
Humanity is hanging in the balance.
I’m running for Congress again to deliver for YOU, not the billionaires.
Together, we’ll stop Trump’s wars, lower costs, and secure real investment in our communities.
This image is still stuck in my mind, how the Israeli occupation soldiers arrested all the patients at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.
We will not forget, and we will not forgive.
