Today is Giving Tuesday. If you're looking for a good cause, may I suggest Shifa Foundation USA? It's a US registered non-profit that works in Pakistan to provide food & clean water to those in need, life-saving medical care to those who couldn't otherwise afford it, and...

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”

🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.

🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.

🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.

SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds. https://t.co/MWLJV46yIJ

The fuck is wrong with ICE?

Not only is this just dumb and racist for no reason, South Korea is one of our most important allies

I find it genuinely shocking that not a single major American outlet has covered 16-year-old Palestinian American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim, held in Israeli military detention since Feb for "throwing rocks." His parents are begging for help, and they have been completely ignored.

@mina_hamedi Congratulations!!!

This story is so so horrible and I haven’t heard a peep about it since it happened.

No changing the lights on the Empire State Building for this American child. No anti-Islamophobia task force in Congress. Just complete disregard for American Muslim life.

The world is insane and exhausting and I need a cookie and a nap and to stay off social media and never watch or read the news ever again. Excuse me while I go scream into a pillow and curse a lot and loudly.

In today's🦇💩 medical news, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield will no longer pay for anesthesia beyond a certain time limit. [insert expletive here] Because, obviously, rushing surgeons through delicate surgeries is a fantastic idea and not at all motivated by corporate greed.

The Taliban has stopped women from becoming doctors/nurses/midwives. [insert LOTS of expletives here] But, also, women can't see male docs w/o a male relative. Because, yeah, girls want to go see male gynecologists with dad and little brother. That's not completely insane.

"I mean, if the world cannot really help us, I hope that they will not continue to support the oppressor. If you can’t really stop this, why don’t you just go away? I mean, I wish the world was ignoring us. No, they are not ignoring us. No, they are contributing to our suffering"

If you're physically/legally able to vote, I hope you did. If you didn't, you don't get to whine about the state of the country for the next 4 years. You get to sit down & shush, and hopefully do better next time. I don't make the rules.🤷🏻‍♀️ Good luck to us all, wherever this goes.

[Komal Qazi @komalq]

For the first time ever I considered not voting, but then got mad that I felt I had to quit that right. I can't in good conscience vote either major party this time, even if voting third party means "throwing my vote away." We deserve better than what we've been getting. Sigh.

[Komal Qazi @komalq]

I am so tired of voting against someone instead of FOR someone. I am so tired of voting for the lesser evil (who even is that?). I am so tired of my tax dollars funding things I hate, or fueling hate. I'm just tired. Ugh.
