Girl Scouts Threatened Legal Action Against Troop Over Gaza Fundraiser

The troop in question says they now plan to leave the Girl Scouts.

A Girl Scout troop leader in Missouri was threatened with legal action by the organization after her troop tried to sell bracelets to raise money for Gaza, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Nawal Abuhamdeh said that it had been the children’s idea to sell bracelets to raise money for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. She said that the members of her troop, including her own 10 year-old daughter, had been deeply emotionally impacted by Israel’s brutal military campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 29,000 people, and at least 10,000 children. “I’m grieving. We are all grieving. We literally couldn’t muster the energy to sell cookies,” Abuhamdeh said. Soon after making a post about the fundraiser, Abuhamdeh said she received an email from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri organization, alerting her that her troop could not support “partisan politics,” and needed to “stay neutral.” The email said that the fundraiser had violated the organization’s governing documents, and that if the troop went forward with their plan, the organization would engage legal counsel to “protect the intellectual property and other rights of the organization.”

Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.

Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war

Palestine is free

Obey me Hogwarts AU headcanons

Basically the title, only doing Lucifer, Mammon, Satan, and Beel bc their the only ones I can think of which house they belong to. For each HC, MC will be in their house. 

Lucifer

Obviously Slytherin.

Is the house prefect.

Will get perfect scores on all his exams.

Will get into the ring on the Apparition test on his first try.

Will bully first years when he gets the prefect badge because of his authority. MC being the other prefect would tell Lucifer to go easy on the kids.

If MC and Lucifer were dating he’d most likely help the first years for MC because he doesn’t want a puny brat talking to his lover. The first year would end up running away saying things like ‘Never mind, I can just do this by myself’ and ‘Oh I forgot Professor Solomon asked me to do something for him’ because Lucifer can be very scary

Would sometimes skip class to go make out with MC.

Favorite subject is Charms.

Mammon

Gryffindor because of how reckless he is and how daring and brave he is to steal stuff, because that is something I can’t do.

Will beg MC for help on tests, MC obliged bc their nice.

When he takes the apparition test, he doesn’t move a single bit and ends up failing.

When MC ends up becoming Gryffindor prefect and he doesn’t he’ll be all pouty and jealous. But when he see’s the other Gryffindor prefect all jealousy is forgotten and he always follows you on your prefect duties, to make sure the other prefect doesn’t do anything to you.

Favorite subject is Transfiguration.

Satan

The book boy is Ravenclaw? Never expected that.

Is Hermione Granger, but more cynical.

Just like passes Lucifer, he passes his apparition test on his first attempt.

Would be a very strict prefect. Is basically Percy Weasley but doesn’t constantly clean his badge and doesn’t think that just because he’s a prefect doesn’t mean he’s all powerful.

MC and Satan: Bookworms (MC is a bit toned down on books compared to Satan)

Satan is basically MC’s study-buddy. 

Favorite subject is potions.

Beelzebub

The precious baby is a Hufflepuff.

First day at Hogwarts. Will eat almost everything at the Hufflepuff table. Maybe even the plates if he’s really hungry.

Is not the prefect, but neither is MC. 

Will sneak into the kitchens at night, and the house-elves love him, they’d even remember when his birthday is to give him a giant basket full of food.

Will get splinched on the apparition test, (most likely because he was hungry and wasn’t focused on the location of where they were supposed to apparate.)

Favorite subject is Care of Magical Creatures.

💜- Let the boy join us

This is a CYOA story. You will have choices at the end of each chapter and 3 days to cast your vote before the decision is locked in. Choose carefully, your decisions will affect not only your outcome, but the outcome of the characters as well

Chapter 1.

(Prev)

Choice: Answer Belphie first

———————————————————————

Despite the uncomfortable gut feeling you had about that message in particular, you chose to answer Belphie first. ‘Skim the conversation quickly and get it over with’ is what you told yourself as you clicked into the chat.

Belphegor: You’re cute when you smile

Belphegor: But I get annoyed when it’s caused by my brothers

Belphegor: Why don’t you smile for me like that y/n?

Not even taking a second glance at the responses, you backed out of the chat and made your way back onto the home screen where Levi welcomed you back. If that was a coincidence, it was the scariest one you’ve ever experienced... but it had to be, right? There’s no way Belphie could’ve actually known you were smiling because of Beel. He’s just code!

Taking a moment to compose yourself, you focused your attention back to what brought you back to the game: the new event. You hadn’t seen a pop up for it when you’d opened the game, but then again you hadn’t gotten any pop ups. How strange. Locating the event page wasn’t an issue though as it was in the usual placement. However, when the page loaded up, it wasn’t the event you were expecting. In fact, it was completely different to any event you had previously seen in the game ever from the fact there were no rewards, no special cards and no dance battles. Just the story chapters and only 8 of them at that. To say you were utterly confused would be an understatement, but you decided to click into the first chapter just to see what the story plot was.

It seemed simple enough, the boys were fighting over who you would spend time with and so you had come up with the idea to spend a day with them each. They would get to spend their time with you, and you would choose what things you wanted to do with them on that day.

The premise was nice and sweet, it wasn’t what you had returned to the game to see, but if you were already on the game, it couldn’t hurt to at least read through the chapters a little bit. If you decided you didn’t enjoy them, you could just exit the game and leave it like you had previously.

Sure, you had a gut feeling that something was very off, this wasn’t supposed to be the event and it most certainly wasn’t structured normally, but you wouldn’t be much of a y/n if you listened to it. So, completely disregarding the feeling of dread you felt, you clicked into the next story chapter which had you spending time with Mammon.

———

“Alright human, the great Mammon is giving you the honour of choosing how we’ll spend our time today so you better be grateful and choose something fun!”

Smiling at Mammon’s usual tsundere shtick, you thought over the options that the game had given you and opted to spend some time watching a movie in his room. That seemed to be the right option as Mammon perked up at the opportunity to choose a movie and get to cuddle with you. Though getting him to admit that last part would be quite the struggle.

“Since I, the great Mammon, am letting you use my projector for entertainment, it is only fair that I get to choose the movie. So don’t you dare complain about it. You got that?”

Mammon slipped in an action movie, clearly a demon brand of Rocky but you weren’t going to comment on that apparently. You were given the option to cuddle further into Mammon’s side and not one to miss an opportunity to fluster him, you of course took the chance.

Mammon’s dialogue box popped up as if his response was about to show, but no text displayed. Thinking it was just glitched, you checked the logs to see what he had said, but it was still empty. Once again, the nervous feeling started creeping back up and completely consumed you once you clicked ahead and Belphie appeared on the screen.

What was he doing here? This was supposed to be Mammon’s chapter. His chapter is supposed to be the last one.... unless all the chapters are going to be disrupted by another brother? Yeah, that seems likely. He’s just the disruption for this one and then he won’t make another appearance until it’s his turn.

“You two look aufully comfortable.”

His tone was sharp and chilling. It sent shivers down your back and made you want to instinctively move yourself away from Mammon’s side. Not to mention the cold look in his eyes that seemed to stare right through you.

“B-Belphie! What are you doing in here? This is supposed to be my time with y/n!”

You didn’t miss the way Mammon’s voice wavered at the beginning of his sentence. Was he really that scared of Belphie? Or was it just shock and embarrassment?

“I was bored and wanted to come see what you were up to. I thought you’d have left the house but I guess I was lucky. I didn’t want to have to walk too far to find you.”

Once again, his words held a strange tone. Almost as if he was trying to tell you not to take the brothers outside of the house.

“Anyways, now that I’m here I’d like to sit down. Can I join you two?”

💜- Let Belphie join

💛- Tell Belphie to leave

Innocence …

The youngest Palestinian journalist is a 9 year old girl.

Her name Lama Jamous.

Lama has been reporting on tik tok what has been happening in Gaza. Her father is a journalist working for Al Jazeera and is trying to get her out of Rafah.

Link to the gofundme from the video

Please share her story.

Edited to include video description provided by @a-captions-blog

[Video description: TikTok by @ZerlinaSchmerlina, whose face is edited over a photo of a Palestinian child holding a phone camera up to the sea. This was posted by lama_jamous9. Zerlina says: This is Lama. She is a nine-year-old Afro-Palestinian journalist who lives in Gaza, and her father is trying really hard to get her evacuated into Egypt. There is a GoFundMe link in my bio where people have raised well over $48,000. I think It's like $52,000 right now to help get her and her family into Egypt. But what is really really important that we can do is please make videos, and please share and repost videos really raising awareness about the urgency of getting her into safety, her and her family to safety. I have tagged Al Jazeera English in this caption, but you can also tag them in your own videos that you make, in the comment section on Instagram etc. Please help raise awareness. [The background photo changes to show Lama holding a pink flower up to the camera.] Constant effort and pressure for a ceasefire can sometimes feel hopeless when our governments are not listening to us, but if there’s something we can do to help one, two, three children, let’s please do it. Please make a video and help raise awareness, and help put the pressure on to bring her and her family into safety. \End description]
