I truly do not care if the guy had “bad politics” and I think it’s weird if you do. The most class-uniting event I’ve seen in my lifetime and some of you are turning it into a culture war because he retweeted Peter Thiel. This is unironically why we lose.
My mother has a similar story from her childhood in the 50s. Not the genocide of today, but with severe crop and aid shortages, Gaza was saved by an abundance of sardines that year. The sea, like the land, is ours and it knows its family and caretakers.
takeaways from this:
1. it’s going to be fine. organize
2. the right is going to demolish america as a functioning government institution
3. the democratic party leadership needs to be systematically destroyed for the good of the future
4. we will all be okay
I don't usually get personal here, but the hurricane took out part of my family's home, trapped my grandparents on their farm with no power or service, and completely wiped off the map the town where I *just* got married. Please don't forget Appalachia when talking about Helene.
Last image of a wife and husband in Asheville, NC sheltering from the flood on a roof.
The roof would soon collapse, causing them and their 6 year old grandchild to drown.
Their daughter and mother of the child took the photograph.
When the roof collapsed, she got wedged between debris and was able to be rescued an hour later.
And things are way way worse in Burnsville. These pictures need to reach people.
Didn’t realize how many folks have no idea where Asheville and these other underwater towns are.
I’m in Raleigh- 2hrs inland. Asheville is 4hrs west of me, up in the blue ridge mountains. It was unthinkable that a hurricane could wipe out towns this far inland & high up.
Yall, please start calling. You better be on the PHONE. Ring your senators ASAP I wanna see THUMBS ON THE NUMBER PADS I wanna hear DIAL TONES and we need the loudest ppl in EVERY blue district holding up a megaphone outside every congressperson’s office STAT
I don’t think my heart would be able to take it if I was in a room with hundreds of people clapping for the man responsible for my people’s genocide so what Rashida is doing here is just so fucking immense.
UPDATE:
the infection has spread to his EYE. wafa needs to get her children out of g@za to get aid for him ASAP!!!
THEIR TREATMENT IS NOT WORKING AND THE WEATHER IS MAKING IT WORSE.
SHORT GOAL: 281/500
