I am continuing to advocate for you as I can. You may not be able to see these right now, but these are links to share for tear gas, eye injuries, stopping serious wounds from bleeding. I'll write/copy important info below.

Stopping blood loss (paraphrased from stop the bleed video):

Expose wound to see where bleeding is coming from

Use a t-shirt, cloth, or gauze to cover the wound

Use TWO HANDS, one pressed over the other, and apply DIRECT PRESSURE to the wound

Use your body weight if you need to!

If the wound is large, you can pack the wound with your cloth/gauze, then apply direct pressure as stated above.

What to do if your eye is injured by a rubber bullet or other projectile:

Don’t touch your eye.

Don’t rub your eye.

Stay upright and keep your head up.

Place a hard shield around your eye. Holding or taping a temporary eye shield, such as a paper cup or Styrofoam cup, may work in an emergency.

Do not let the shield touch the surface of the eye.

If the eye ruptures or breaks open, the eye’s contents must be saved. Keep the shield on your eye and get to an emergency room or call your ophthalmologist immediately.

If you are exposed to tear gas, take the following steps right away:

Get away from the tear-gassed area as quickly and safely as possible.

Flush your eyes with lots of clean water or eyewash (available at most pharmacies).

Remove any clothing near your face.

Seek fresh air.

Seek higher ground (tear gas is heavier than air).

Blink frequently to promote tearing.

Do not rub your eyes (rubbing might spread crystals of the chemical on the eye’s surface).

Remove your contact lenses.

Get medical help right away.

If you are exposed to pepper spray:

Don’t touch the eye area. Pepper spray is oil-based, so touching the area will spread the oil.

Blink frequently to help flush your eyes.

Flush your eyes with lots of clean water or eyewash (available at most pharmacies). Contrary to what you may have heard, milk is not recommended for flushing the eyes because it’s not sterile. A small study compared five treatments (Maalox, 2% lidocaine gel, baby shampoo, milk, water) and found no difference in pain relief.

And it's stunning how SCARED people are of Jews that fight back. Who fall down rabbit holes of Jewish Magic and conspiracy theories. Everyone is allowed and expected to fight back, except for us. They EXPECT us to just lay down and die, and hate us when we don't.

Well, no more. Or at the very least, we're going down swinging (not only in Israel, but in communities around the world).

Don't lose heart, if you're reading this. This is a proud moment.

let’s pretend for a second that y’all win. you destroy the state of israel, kill all the jews, and reclaim “palestine”—what happens then?

You're willingly backing a guy that hasn't even won the fucking primary yet as The Guy to beat Collins and make her seat blue. But when he suddenly decides to do similar shit like Collins or worse, then what?

A doctor in London said something on television last week that ought to have been a national scandal. Somehow, it wasn’t.

He told ITV News that colleagues of his had said that if an Israeli arrived in the emergency room, dying, they would not treat him. They wouldn’t refuse his referral to their care. They’d purposely let him die on the gurney, on the principle of where he was born.

The doctor goes by Baruch. He would only give his first name. He and his wife, Daniella, are packing up their home in Golders Green and moving to Israel, and the ITV crew filmed them doing it. He mentioned, almost in passing, that he had also seen Jewish patients refused kosher meals. The Department of Health called his account “shocking” and admitted, in writing, that the medical regulatory system is failing to protect Jewish patients and staff.

Hold the part about the dying patient for a second, because it is the whole story in miniature.

A hospital works on one promise. The person who comes through the door gets treated. You do not check his passport. You do not poll the room about his politics. The promise is older than any of us, and it is the reason a stranger will let another stranger cut into his chest.The Hippocratic Oath that all doctors swear to. When a doctor decides that a nationality is grounds to withhold care, that oath hasn’t just been broken. It has been abandoned by the people who need to keep it the most.

That is what makes the medical version of antisemitism different from everything else in the news. You can argue forever about flags and slogans, about what a particular chant really means when ten thousand people sing it while marching in a Jewish neighborhood. You cannot argue about a man bleeding out in front of you. The case is closed before it opens.

Baruch is not imagining the weather around him. The same week his interview aired, Lord John Mann published a sixty-page review of antisemitism in the UK National Health Service (NHS.) It found that Jewish staff “suffer in silence,” that they face what the report calls routine ostracism, and that Jewish staff are the only religious group in the NHS for whom discrimination from colleagues is rising rather than falling. Some are thinking of leaving the service. The government accepted the recommendations and promised new training and standards. Good. But training is a plan for people who haven't yet made up their minds. It does nothing about the colleague who already decided some patients aren't worth saving.

In April, the Jewish Chronicle profiled three British doctors who had already left the NHS for Israel, among them a young pediatrician from north-west London and a GP who said plainly that she could not have coped with the antisemitism her Manchester colleagues were living with. Across the Atlantic, Dr. Emmanuel Moss, chief of cardiac surgery at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital and one of Canada’s leading robotic heart surgeons, has resigned and is moving to Atlanta. He cited the climate in the city, where synagogues have been firebombed and bullets were fired at a yeshiva.

Look at the job titles. A cardiac surgeon. A children’s doctor. The clinicians you want on the schedule when it is your kid on the table at two in the morning. These are not people who spook easily, and they are not cheap or quick to replace. A surgeon takes well over a decade to train. When that is who decides to go first, you are not watching people flee an inconvenience. You are watching them flee an actual risk.

Here is the honst part, and it cuts against the alarm. By the raw numbers, there is no exodus. The Institute for Jewish Policy Research looked at the data this spring. In 2025, 742 British Jews made aliyah, the highest count in over forty years. But that figure still sits inside the normal range of the last two decades, which runs from about four hundred to about seven hundred a year. Roughly one Israeli moves to Britain for every British Jew who leaves for Israel. JPR’s director put it flatly: there is no Jewish exodus from the UK, at least not yet. So if you want to file all of this under noise, the spreadsheet will let you.

The spreadsheet is measuring the wrong thing. A census counts volume. This was never about volume. It is about composition, about which people are the first to quietly conclude they have no future somewhere. When the early movers are the surgeons and the paediatricians, the number on the page can stay small while the signal screams. The canary in the coal mine was never impressive by weight, either.

Britain and America, of all places, should be able to read this signal because they were once the lucky recipients of the same event running the other way.

In the 1930s, Germany and Austria purged their Jewish physicians. First, the 1933 civil service law pushed them out of public positions. Then, the regime forbade Jewish doctors from treating non-Jewish patients, and by 1938, it had stripped their medical licenses outright. The doctors did not vanish. They got on boats. A great deal of them landed in London and New York and rebuilt Anglo-American medicine and science over the following half-century. The countries that opened the door spent the next hundred years collecting the dividend.

Germany’s own healthcare measurably degraded once so many of the healers were gone, with child and maternal health indicators sliding in the wrong direction. The lesson is not subtle. A government can revoke its doctors' licenses for who they are. It cannot revoke the illnesses those doctors were treating. The patients stay. The expertise leaves. The gap between the two is filled with funerals.

What is happening now is that same experiment, this time running in gentler register. Nobody is passing a law. No license is being torn up. The pressure is ambient and plausibly deniable. A kippah that comes off before the ward round. A colleague who muses that some patients aren’t worth the trouble. A regulator the government itself concedes is not doing its job. Doctors are trained to detect diseases from their earliest signs. That’s exactly what they are doing, and it’s making them choose to leave.

The cost is not theoretical. The NHS is carrying roughly 100,000 vacant posts. More than four in ten of its licensed doctors are qualified abroad. On any given day, the service is busy persuading physicians in Lagos and Manila to uproot their lives and come to fill a British ward. In that same season, it is handing the doctors a quiet list of reasons to go. A health system that imports clinicians by the planeload while supplying its own with reasons to leave is losing a race it set up against itself.

This is the cost that gets lost when the conversation stays on antisemitism as a question of feelings and offense. The Jewish doctor who leaves does not take only himself. He takes the operations he would have performed, the residents he would have trained, and the night shifts he would have covered for a colleague whose child was sick. The loss is borne by whoever needed that surgeon and now waits longer, or does not get seen, and will mostly never know the trade that was made on his behalf.

this has been mercilessly review bombed and called “propaganda” despite it being documented footage from that day and comprising the testimony of survivors and responders. I can’t imagine any other victims of such atrocities or any other documentary subject being maligned this way.

please don’t traumatize yourselves by watching if you do not feel able to, we all know what happened and we’ve been grappling with that terror and pain ceaselessly, but if you do want to bear witness or support these survivors, victims, and filmmakers, amplify it however you can.

Mentioning the hostages is propaganda.

Saying the hostages should be returned is propaganda.

Saying Hamas killed civilians is propaganda.

Saying Hamas raped people is propaganda.

Saying Hamas took hostages is propaganda.

Saying any of the above was bad is propaganda.

All of the above is also justifiable resistance.

If you disagree with any of the above, you are justifying genocide.

Probably if any civilians died, the IDF killed them.

Hamas attacked because Zionism, not because Jews.

Whatever Hamas did do means that Israel was oppressing Palestinians in ways that are equally bad or even worse.

Palestinians tried peaceful resistance. It didn't work. This was their only option.

Hamas attacked to Free Palestine. Israel attacked to commit genocide.

Nazis don't hate and want to eliminate Jews, they are Jews.

A concentration camp isn't a place where a marginalized group is imprisoned for medical experimentation, slave labor, psychological torture ("re-education"), and frequent arbitrary murder for funsies.

A concentration camp is a war zone where you can't cross the border without the permission of the neighboring country, which is charging $5,000-$10,000 per person who wants to leave.

Egypt charging refugees thousands of dollars to leave during a war is not war profiteering; it's fine; we don't need to protest it or demand it stops. We just need to help with all the GoFundMes we can.

Colonialism isn't when one country invades others, defeats them in warl

Poland didn't start the Holocaust with 3,300,000 Jews and kill 3,056,000 of them. Certainly not partly because the Polish government and civilians joyfully helped the Nazis hunt down almost every single Jew in the country. Poland DEFINITELY didn't make it illegal in 2018 to say that Poland shared any responsibility "for Nazi crimes committed by the Third Reich."

Obviously, the truth is that the 148,000 Jews who emigrated from post-Holocaust Poland are privileged white settler-colonialist oppressors; made up the vast majority of Israel's population (which by 1949 was 1,174,000); and should just go back to Poland (where there are currently about 5,000 Jews left).

Colonialism itself isn't when a powerful country invades others, uses genocidal rape, torture, and murder on everyone it doesn't enslave, and sends its resources back to the empire. That's just silly.

Colonialism is when people who have been enslaved, raped, tortured, murdered, and chased from country to country in between, for hundreds and hundreds of years, flee back to their homeland.

That's also white supremacy, surprisingly.

Today I was talking to my parents and I just had to sit with some new revelations about the current economy that honestly terrified me. I feel like just saying the percentage of the inflation is making it hard for everyone to realise the almost dystopian crisis the people in Iran are going through.

A single bag of chips is now 120,000 toman.

The fruit we bought 7 months ago for less than 100,000 per KG is now over 400,000 per KG. Literally paying 4 times more for the exact same amount of produce.

I see people posting their recipt from grocery stores—the totals are through the roof. People keep saying their monthly salaries are not enough to get them through the month and it's gone in the first couple of days in the month.

This is only the financial situation. Sharia law is going strong. Islamic republic's goons are walking around and freely harrassing and abusing women who choose not to wear the hijab.

Do you remember all the hijabless women reporting from IRGC support rallies, talling about how women had freedom to choose what they want to wear? Yeah a fucking lie.

On top of all this, the country is in fucking shambles. The government's mishandling of resources brought us here: dried-up rivers and lakes, electricity out for hours every day even in 50 degrees weather, dust stroms, water outage... you name it, we have it.

Updated Update: I'm checked out of the last place. I have nowhere to go unless I book something in next few hours. I can ship orders made in the next 2 hours today.

Update-Found a place for the 6 nights within walking distance of the art storage and the area I'm looking for my next permanent housing.

Sales needed immediately!!! Next bed needs to be booked for later tonight (Friday June 5th) night.

Almost All My Artworks Are Accounted For... Buy Quickly!!!

I deserve rewards for not killing myself yet. I want to but I haven't.

Venmo- Kate-Havekost

(Yes I know it's crass but everything from hotels to security deposits to replacing stuff is fucking expensive. If I can't afford to like I'm completely fine with dying.)

I've been looking at housing within my area. Saw something I liked. It's less than the last place.
