Quick Reminder As We Head Into Trump’s First Week In Office. We Are About To See An Onslaught Of Executive

Quick reminder as we head into Trump’s first week in office. We are about to see an onslaught of executive actions designed to strip of us our rights. We’ve seen this before.

Many of them won’t be legal, many of them won’t take effect immediately, and some of them will be just plain nonsense. Trump alone can’t change the law (yet anyway- that’s Congress) and there is an official government process for enacting most executive actions that works slowly.*

There will be time to fight against these orders—either by stopping them entirely, weakening them, or at least slowing them down.

The purpose of doing so many terrible things at once is to scare us. Is to intimidate us to cede more ground than we need to. Don’t let them.

Stay engaged, stay angry, stay hopeful (or spiteful- me tbh), and—most importantly—stay strategic. Find an organization you trust, follow them, and take action when they ask you to.

(Side note- pick just a few issues to care deeply about and only follow a few organizations you trust. Don’t try to solve everything all the time or consume every piece of news. You WILL burn yourself out and that’s not helpful for anyone. Trust me, speaking from experience. Staying 15% engaged is better than 120% for three months and then 0%).

What we’re seeing right now is a backlash to decades of progress—a dying (and by extension dangerous I’m not gonna lie) breath of those in power desperate to maintain control. They wouldn’t be trying to squash us if there wasn’t something to squash.

TL;DR- there’s gonna be a lot of bad stuff in the news today. Don’t give into panic. There will be time to fight most of it. Stay engaged.

*Unfortunately, there will be some actions the President can control on his own and will take effect immediately. ICE Raids being one of them. Here’s a Know Your Rights factsheet. To learn more and stay informed on this issue, recommend following National Immigration Law Center, CASA, Immigrant Defense Project.

Unfortunately we've seen a significant drop off in donations.
If donations don't pick up soon we will be forced to close some of our kitchens.
We really don't want to have to do that given that so many people have come to depend on these kitchens to survive. So if you are able to help, please click on the link in the reply. Thank you

By now, you all must have seen the news that Gaza had officially run out of food, as one of the main aid suppliers in Gaza, World Food Program, had announced that their stock has been completely depleted, leaving just a few days for community kitchens to function.

This comes after more than 50 days (and counting) of Israel's complete closure of the borders, preventing food and medicine, among other life essentials, from entering Gaza. There are children crying out of hunger with trucks loaded with over 100,000 tons of food mere minutes away from them, which Israel continues to prevent from entering besieged Gaza.

This also comes after Israel had deliberately destroyed swaths of farmlands in Gaza, specifically targeting them with bombs and chemical weapons that destroy the chance of growing crops. Israel also made sure bakeries are destroyed as well as water sources.

Diabolical is an understatement when it comes to the Zionist entity.

There are still things you can do. On top of raising awareness and protesting when possible, independent organisations like APN are working directly with farmers in Gaza to rehabilitate the agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade and build food sovereignty. You can donate to their Revive Gaza's Farmlands initiative here.

Additionally, keep in mind that this means whatever food supplies remain available in Gaza now costs astronomical amounts of money, so keep sharing and donating to individual fundraising campaigns. Gazafunds is a good source if you're not sure where to start. Remember that your donations and shares are often the only source of hope for these families.

After our house was destroyed, no one helped us, not even to build a tent...So I built a tent myself so that we could shelter me and my family, even if only for a little while...even if I was not accustomed to building anything or doing harsh work, but I had to do so to help my family.

I am reminding myself that my resistance will come through denying the administration the chaos they seek. It will come by remembering that their plans and rhetoric are just the regurgitated policies that we have long defied. It will come through our insistent and urgent love for each other. We have the collective memory and mapmaking to guide us. That does not mean it won’t be scary. It will. It just means we will turn our fear towards care not chaos. Towards building not dividing. Thank you to everyone holding me. I will hold you too. I put my faith in us.

Donate to Help Abood From the War, organized by Andy S
gofundme.com
Hello, my name is Andy. I live in Ohio, but I am organizing this fundraiser for Abood and his wife who … Andy S needs your support for Help

Abood @abood-gaza2 and his pregnant wife NEED you to save them. Proof they are vetted here. It costs ~$8000 to evacuate to Egypt and that number is increasing all the time due to sick people trying to capitalise on misfortune and chaos.

"I studied accounting, graduated with a high average, and worked in a chain of clothing stores that my father owned. But due to the unjust aggression, all our shops were destroyed, and we lost our source of livelihood and work completely. I was displaced from my home more than 10 times, each time trying to find a safe place, but there really is no safety here. Here we live death, fear, and loss at every moment. We love life and we always have ambitions and dreams that we hope to achieve and we are determined to achieve them as well."

Please help this beautiful family who are currently living in tents and facing a harsh and dangerous winter coming up evacuate as soon as they can for the sake of their unborn son as well as their own sakes, and read their story. They're 1/4 of a way to their goal. Get them closer, every little bit counts.

Hi everyone! I've been talking with Sami and their family is in pretty urgent need of help right now.

After 475 days of genocide, hunger, cold, destruction, death, and suffering, Sami's only hope was to find his home. Unforturnately, in the last few hours, some of his brothers went to the area of his home, and on the way, they were hit by an explosion from war remnants. They found no home, as it had been demolished and turned into sand. They now urgently need your help with donations so they can get treatment abroad, as their injuries are severe. You are their only hope. Your simple donation can make a big difference, and your participation also plays a significant role.

Please, if you can, send some help their way so they can treat their injuries! Time is of the essence.

To all Tumblr users, don't leave me alone ‼️💔

My name is Samir, and I am just a simple man, carrying great love for my family and small dreams I have always wished to fulfill.

Our path in life has never been easy. We are a family of seven, living under harsh conditions that only God truly knows.

I do my best every day to provide my children and family with the basics of life: food, clean water, and a dignified living. But the burden has become heavier than I can carry alone.

Every day, I wake up with the sunrise, holding on to a new hope that I can cover our most basic needs: a simple meal on the table, clean water to drink, and a notebook and pencil for my son who dreams of completing his education.

But expenses continue to rise, and the small income I earn is barely enough to cover even the essentials.

I did not turn to this fundraising campaign out of greed or luxury, but out of genuine need and belief in the goodness that lives in people’s hearts.

I humbly ask for your support to help me provide education for my children, and food and clean water for my family.

Your help, no matter how small, could change our lives and open a new door of hope toward a better future.

I appeal to you from the heart of a father who only dreams of seeing his children grow up healthy and safe to be part of this journey with us.

To All Tumblr Users, Don't Leave Me Alone ‼️💔
