God, Palestinians can't have anything
I've often seen this person's posts pop up, he's known for the number of cats he feeds, even before this, hence the username. The other day, I remember seeing that pic of him and that tiny little puppy on the beach and being cheered up by it. It's just so sad... they literally can't have anything.
If anyone wants to help this man, he has links for both an evacuation gofundme and PayPal to help feed the cats:
Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.
I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.
These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.
I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.
My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️
love the world bc like, we have less than 20 years before climate change completely starts destroying society and people are like “lets vote in democrats!! remember to vote!! Maybe we can convince the corporations to stop being so mean and destroying the planet!! stop using disposable straws!!”
Protecting Indigenous food sovereignty doesn’t just mean calling out the shitty colonial behaviour of groups like PETA etc. It also means taking up the environmental fight, stopping threats like tankers and pipelines to salmon populations, fighting commercial fish companies threatening the fishing practices of Indigenous fishermen, fighting government propaganda that blames wolves for caribou declines instead of poison from oil companies, and fighting against land encroachment which threatens the whole food chain in the name of extraction or recreation industries.
