This girl is an actual hero and we need to donate to her defense fund please
May 18, 2025 - Over a 100.000 people marched in The Hague, the Netherlands, to condemn the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and the complicity in this genocide of the Dutch government, universities, businesses and other institutions. Most protesters came to the protest dressed in red, saying "we are drawing the red line! Israel has to be stopped here!", because even open ethnic cleansing, bombing of hospitals and ambulances, deliberate starving of children, constant war crimes and open genocide in general apparently aren't a red line for Israel to cross in the eyes of the Dutch government.

i can’t stop thinking about adriana smith. when roe was overturned i knew things were going to get hellish but turns out 50 years of scientific innovation means an entire new branch of soul crushing horror stories are now possible. we can’t possibly keep pretending we’ve advanced gender and racial equality when we’re using a dead black woman’s body as an incubator for a fetus. a society that does that is a failed society. fuck man im trying to hold on to some measure of hope here but its so hard.
I made a little edit of M*A*S*H scenes I think are very apropos (maybe hopeful) of the current situation.
Here's your break in the gloom...

Got unfinished business, ain't we? Cases to solve, ghosts to help out 🔎
I revisit this video often and wonder: How successful was I in creating a dichotomy between the hell breaking loose outside the house and a healing atmosphere of fun for the children inside? However, my family members evacuated to dangerous nylon tents and makeshift shelters this time where the outside and the inside are hellish and dangerous. All I can hope for now is to bring them to safety in Egypt because I can not begin to imagine my life without them.
I would rather die before they do. Please consider donating and sharing my story to help them survive.
even in leftists spaces, between atheism and veganism, it is funny how sometimes people get incredibly aggressive and defensive immediately if they find out a person they're talking to is either of those things, as if another person being something was a personal attack against them. ppl immediately project a whole lot of ideas about atheists and vegans, and a lot of the aggression seems to come from a place of "i saw a vegan/atheist be annoying once! you're saying that i'm doing something wrong! therefore it is okay for me to ridicule and mock you!" however vegans or atheists are not allowed to react similarly when they encounter ppl who eat meat or are religious, because those choices are seen as normal and neutral even though they're just as neutral as being a vegan or an atheist. hot take but i don't think anyone should project anything onto labels like these and i think people getting mad at a vegan or an atheist should ask themselves if they're actually reacting to that particular person being an asshole, or if they just have different values than you which is making you feel insecure and/or self-conscious.
According to Save the Children "up to 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in the chaos of the war in Gaza, many trapped beneath rubble, detained, buried in unmarked graves, or lost from their families, said Save the Children."
The report breaks the overall number to include at least 4,000 children who are likely trapped under the rubble and presumed dead, 17,000 children who are unaccompanied and separated from their families, with an unknown number that are buried in unmarked mass graves, and others who have been forcibly disappeared by Israeli forces, detained and transferred outside of Gaza.
Children. At least 21,000 missing children in Gaza just since October 2023.
You simply cannot convince anyone that this is what it takes for an entity to "defend itself." Israel is and has always been a terrorist, genocidal state that relies on this kind of violence to sustain its existence as a settler colony.
