Looking at some animals somewhere

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Imagine Hamas stormed a hospital disguised as doctors, nurses, patients and civilian women, and executed three Israelis.

It would be front page news.

It would be offered up as evidence of their outrageous evil.

I doubt many media outlets will even cover this.

Do people understand that these are kids? KIDS are being starved by Israel. They are not starving. They are purposefully being STARVED.

"They plunder, they slaughter, and they steal: this they falsely name Empire, and where they make a wasteland, they call it peace."

Israel has now dropped 65,000 tons of explosives on Gaza’s civilian population in 89 days—over one and a half times more than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE

[mari 🍉 @PanicEverywher1]

Are y’all not noticing the patterns? Minerals in Nigeria, gold in sudan, conalt and diamonds in congo.. colonialism is still alive and well in Africa and all around the world (most are disguised as internal conflicts)

Huge congrats to @TCDZoology - the discipline has received the highest rating of Green in the @My_Green_Lab programme. Efforts led by PhD Emma King saw all research teams adapting more sustainable practices. (1/2)

"For a colonized people, the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity."

Frantz Fanon

The settler has no regard for the land. The settler lays everything to waste.

[jude 🐚 @literarycore]

just reminding you all to not forget about congo. congolese people are going through a silent genocide and they barely have any media coverage. please speak up for congo 🇨🇩

[Tehran Tadhg @TadhgHickey]

How dare they try to gaslight the world into thinking that this hell could ever be remotely justified

[Aaron H. Aceves @aaronhaceves]

It’s so wild that Zionist groups can afford this kind of stuff and Palestinians are accused of spreading propaganda

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

An incredible headline.

[vivafalastin 🇵🇸 @vivafalastin]

it’s been said before and i’ll say it again: this is NOT how indigenous people treat the land. it’s the exact opposite.

Where is the International Criminal Court?

In my lifetime I’ve witnessed American outrage over “the war on Christmas”, “keeping Christ in Christmas”, Starbucks for changing their Christmas cups to holiday cups, & then be completely silent over the bombing of the birthplace of Jesus Christ during Christmas season

[GoliathFan1952 @ByYourLogic]

every few years when Israel maims Gaza to “dismantle Hamas,” the rest of the world is rightfully outraged. but I wish people paid the same attention to the West Bank. even Israelis know their conduct there is indefensible to western audiences, so they just don’t talk about it

[Muslim Sisters of Eire @Msoe_Dublin]

It's with a really heavy heart that this decision was made 😔 😟

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

BÁC now is the time to support each other.

Much love to those injured in the horrific attack.

But we are a nation of emigrants, on every corner of the planet. Don’t listen to those who spread fear and hate.

Build communities that care and love each other.

Kick up not down!❤️

Tonight we had nearly 460 meals. Each week, as we get closer to winter and much colder weather, we are noticing a need for hats, gloves, scarves, sleeping bags, socks, rain coats and heavy coats. 

This week, we loaded up a lot of items and tonight we provided additional sleeping bags, ground mats and tents, due to the bad weather. With people sleeping on the streets, their sleeping bags are bound to become spoiled and wet, and they don’t have any place to dry and clean them in order to reuse them for the next night. There is a high need for sleeping bags each week the colder it gets. In order to prepare for what would be needed on Friday night, we watched the weather forecast every week. 

Again it was a bitterly cold night and the rain was quite heavy. The cold and wet weather didn’t deter people from queuing up, right around up to Henry Street. The wind battered onto people’s faces and some had umbrellas and others didn’t, and stood quietly in the queue.

We received a call today at the office from a young lad who queues up each week for himself and his brother. He let us know that he wasn’t feeling well and wanted to find out what time the soup will be outside the venue. He informed us that he comes every week and that extremely tired to stand in the queue. He then informed us that he’s been coming to our queue every week and he starts queuing from 16.30. This week he was really tired and unwell and was extremely appreciative when we explained to him that he should take down the name of one of our management volunteers, and ask for her when he arrived. There were packs we made for him and he didn’t need to queue. He was so overwhelmed with not having to stand in the queue for an hour and a half and continued to thank us. 

When the team leader who took the phone call, and put down the phone, she was visibly upset. She mentioned that to alleviate someone from standing in the queue for an hour and a half to just give them a basic meal, and to hear how appreciative they are, just touched on her heart. That’s the reality of what we’re living in and what’s going on week in and week out. 

Not only with this soup runs, but with other soup runs, the stories are all the same. It’s heartbreaking to see that but that is the reality of 2023.

Please continue to supprt us as we approach the colder and harsher months of the year. We greatly appreciate every donation.
