i don’t think people really fathom the gravity of the Palestinian genocide or a glimpse of it. Palestinians in Gaza can NOT escape. they are airtight trapped and guarded by most powerful and advanced military/tech on the planet. literally all they can do is anticipate death.
Police DO NOT prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.
For anyone in Australia with a hidden phone; there is a test Critical Alert being sent out on Monday the 27th of July. This will override Silent and Do Not Disturb modes. It’s been suggested that hidden phones be put on Airplane Mode for 24 hours to avoid the alert. Be safe 🩷
Israel abducted a 20-year-old woman from her home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night on June 2.
Her name is Sama Safi.
She is not a combatant.
She is an American-Palestinian university student.
She has now been caged in an Israeli dungeon for 58 days — without charges, without reason.
And yet, the same voices that claim to care about human rights have nothing to say.
No outrage. No headlines. No urgent calls for her freedom.
Because Sama is Palestinian, her story is ignored.
I was at my aunt’s house this morning. We were all having breakfast together when my uncle turned to his 15 y old daughter and said, “You should go change and put on something less revealing. My friends are coming over later, you know how it is.”.........I looked at him and said, “If your kids can’t wear shorts around some old men, then those men shouldn’t be allowed in your house.” Silence at the table.
Americans thinking Canadian wildfire smoke shouldn’t affect them and Canadians thinking FDA cuts won’t affect our food supply. We’re all on this continent together, buckos. Smoke, parasites and viruses don’t care about borders.
Every now and then, someone comes along and with little fanfare, calmly tells the truth.
How utterly refreshing don’t you think?
My thanks to End of News for the much needed reality check as an amuse bouche before the Liar in Chief takes to the airwaves to vomit a bucket full of lies while murdering sentence structure and making grammar hide in the corner.

Four women have been killed in Australia in THREE DAYS, including one in Toowoomba @DavidCrisafulli & you have cut $40million from DFV services????
What the hell is wrong with you?
You can afford to arrest people saying “From the river to the sea…”
Why are you putting Israel before Queensland women?
Why????
Saw a reel of a mom shopping with her little girl (5-6ish) who has hearing aides and was totally beside herself with joy and excitement to find a Barbie wearing hearing aides. She was literally jumping for joy. She was so happy to see a doll like her.
Representation MATTERS.
@cerebralcontext@JessPected I’m so sorry your friend replied like that. It makes sense you never told her more, it wasn’t safe to. I hope you found support elsewhere
ways to cope with this energy:
• journal EVERYTHING
• brain dump on a piece of paper
• clean, organize, declutter (home + car)
• take time off if possible
• take a walk or a drive
• spend time near water
• create something messy
• unplug from social media
• LAUGH
• go down a new rabbit hole
• revisit an old rabbit hole
• process your own emotions thru media
(books, movies, shows, music, art)
• have deep convos
WHY HYPERFOCUS ON GAZA?
Heres why: There's immense suffering and injustice around the world. All of it matters. But when children are being deliberately mass murdered, NOTHING is more important. Especially when so-called "civilized" nations are arming and funding the killers.
