The reason the Boston Globe story took off was bc its whole point was to invite its audience to delight in its framing pitting marginalized groups against each other & revel in the implicit moral to never give marginalized peope an inch to begin with. It's vicious sensationalism.
@my_bearhands it gets me going because you could also, like, fix bridges or work in water treatment, they’re always hiring! you just won’t be a millionaire and that’s what these people want
Yes we were informed of this yesterday and were extremely heartbroken. The Sameer Project has the ability to scale up water, all we need is funding. Help us do more than half a million liters of water. We beg you. Things are bad in Gaza, really really bad.

it'd be really cool if even just a fraction of the people who see videos like this in the west bank start realizing that this is probably what the settlement of the americas looked like instead of the deranged fables we tell ourselves
We are literally watching the last remnants of Gaza City disappear before our eyes.
How can an entire city be erased piece by piece while the world simply watches?
Every day brings more destruction. Buildings that survived months of war are now being destroyed one after another. With every airstrike, another street disappears, another home is reduced to rubble, and another part of our city is gone forever.
Gaza is no longer the city it once was. Most hospitals are out of service. Schools have become shelters. Entire neighborhoods have turned into endless tent camps. There is no electricity, no clean water, no jobs, no education, and almost no services left.
The infrastructure has collapsed. Roads are shattered. Garbage fills the streets. Sewage flows between the tents. Rats and insects are everywhere. There is no fuel, no transportation, not even firewood, while construction materials are still banned from entering.
The humanitarian aid that kept thousands of families alive has all but disappeared. Hunger grows worse every day. Disease spreads. Parents spend hours searching for food or water, often returning with nothing.
And somehow, the world watches all of this as if it were normal.
How can an entire city collapse in front of millions of people, and still be abandoned?
We are not just losing buildings. We are losing Gaza itself its streets, its neighborhoods, its history, and the lives of the people who call it home while a world that sees everything chooses to do nothing.
I'm sorry but the juxtaposition of a big celebrity wedding shutting down part the city and having access to the highest quality of electricity/NYC resources while there are elderly and disabled NYers who will die today because ConEd shut their power off is so fucking bleak to me
At around 1:30PM today, individuals detained in Units 2A and 2B were attacked by ICE agents. According to reports from people inside, ICE was pepper spraying entire units.
Below are a few of these first hand accounts.
We were told it’s impossible to build a new desalination plant in Gaza using different parts that we found inside the Strip. But for The Sameer Project team, there is no impossible!

Around 6 weeks ago, The Sameer Project team hired contractors to work alongside our team members and constructed a desalination plant. This will provide a NEW source of fresh water in a genocide. We are hoping that production will be at 300,000 liters of drinkable water daily.
This desalination plant will run on gas and will save us money from having to purchase from other desalination plants. Costs for water distributions will drop meaning that your money will provide more water for Palestinians in Gaza.
We are in the final stages of finishing the desalination plant but we still need your material support as the cost of this ended up being $200,000. This is the last stretch, please help us finish.

I hate how much I love taking the train. I love how I can go anywhere for $3. I love going underground and stepping out to a whole new world. I love how the each line has its own personality going thru each area. I love the rhythm of the rumbles and screeches. Sorry idc
Bad news!
After a medical examination, the doctor told me I need medical intervention within 48 hours. I'll need intensive medication now, followed by surgery costing $350. It's extremely urgent. Anyone who cares about my life, please help here.
