reminder that gazafunds is a great website.

extremely straightforward, & an easy to remember url. it's my go-to when I'm able to give; removes any room for procrastination or overthinking.

My father passed away this morning. I am in shock and deep sorrow. I will never forgive those who ignored him.
I did everything I could, but I couldn't provide the blood units he needed. I feel guilty, but my illness and injuries overwhelmed me. I couldn't save him.
Now all I ask is to evacuate me and my family and try to save who is still alive. Please donate to help us escape and survive.

Guys, please don't leave me alone in this difficult situation. Share your support, even if it's just with a word.
whenever people say canada is an unserious country or a zany joke it pisses me off and not because i feel like mocked or anything but because i find it wild rude and disrespectful to the indigenous peoples that have been harmed in this nationโฆ genuinely nothing funny about the residential schools or the 60s scoop or the highway of tears or the forced sterilization of indigenous women

We never imagined we would reach a point where asking for help feels heavier than hunger or fear ๐
We are not asking for luxury, comfort, or anything extra we are asking for a roof to stay under ๐
Our landlord gave us only 5 days to pay the remaining $913 in rent. That means we must somehow collect $182 every single day. If we fail, we will be forced out of our home, with nowhere to go literally to the street.
My parents are elderly, exhausted, and already carrying more pain than they should at this age. My sister is still recovering, still fighting to regain her strength. And yet, on top of all this, we live with the constant fear of waking up homeless.๐๐
For days, Iโve been writing , Asking , Hoping. Many people scroll past. Some ignore us.๐ข
But for us, this is not just a post this is our life collapsing in real time.๐
We are not begging for pity. We are asking for human kindness. If you can help, even a little, you are not just donating money you are protecting a family from sleeping on the streets.๐๐๐
Pleaseโฆ donโt let us lose our home.
Please help us survive this moment.

My wife, my child, and I have been suffering from severe influenza for two days now.
We are struggling with intense coughing and shortness of breath, and our condition is getting worse with every passing hour.
In Gaza, due to the war and the suffocating blockade, the healthcare system has nearly collapsed. There is no medicine available, and treatment is only possible in private hospitalsโplaces we simply cannot afford.
As a father, nothing hurts more than watching your child struggle to breathe while you stand helpless, unable to provide even basic treatment. Fear fills our nights, and pain fills our days.
I am reaching out to you with a broken heart, asking for your humanity and compassion. Any support, no matter how small, can help us access urgent medical care and save my family from further suffering.
Please, if you are able, help us survive this illness.
Your kindness could be the reason my child breathes easier tomorrow.

The Associated Press posted videos showing aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing this morning. However, in the past several months, Israel has blocked around 70% of aid trucks from reaching malnourished Palestinians.
Prior to 2023, almost half of all food in Gaza was produced locally, and now everyone is starving and dependent on aid that must be approved by the very people who destroyed their food systems.
My friend Ahmed and his family have been struggling to afford nutritious food, which is price gouged due to scarcity enforced by the occupation.
Ahmed's brother is disabled and has been hospitalized multiple times this winter. Ahmed is disabled too.
Their family (verified on the @gazavetters list, #198) is constantly balancing the costs of healthcare and the costs of food--but human beings need both to survive! We cannot live without both.
@ahmedaldani333 is terrified for his brother, because he is seeing him waste away before his eyes. Please donate so his family can survive this brutality.
95% of all hospitals in Gaza are damaged or destroyed. Many healthcare workers have been killed by the occupation, and Israel banned Mรฉdecins Sans Frontiรจres who send international healthcare workers to help Palestinians fill these gaps. This means that travel to hospitals elsewhere is the only option for many injured, sick, and disabled Palestinians.
Opening Rafah Crossing will be lifesaving to many Palestinians like Ahmed who need to reach better-resourced hospitals. The crossing is not yet open to Palestinians in either direction, though many sources predict that it will be soon.
Please help Ahmed's family to afford enough food to survive until the crossing opens. Help them afford travel to a hospital. Help them afford the medical care they need.
usamericans really need to understand that if you have ever received a paycheck in USD and then used it to purchase items priced in USD then you have benefitted from the privilege of living in the imperial core, no matter what sort of brutal poverty and oppression you are otherwise facing
can you please explain what you mean by this? i'm confused, are other countries' paychecks not in the local currency?
sure. people in other countries do get their paychecks in their local currency, which is in fact the source of this inequality -- for multiple reasons that all boil down to 'usamerican imperial hegemony', the dollar is the primary accepted currency of international trade. for some commodities, like oil, it is for all intents and purposes the only accepted currency of international trade. that means that imported items and items produced for export across the third world are priced primarily in dollar terms, and will see their prices fluctuate with the value of the dollar. this can cause the prices of goods to spiral completely out of control as the dollar that controls the underlying logic of commodities pricing changes in value relative to the local currency most people are receiving wages in. acquiring dollars themselves, of course, can only be done with steep exchange rates at prices many people can't afford.
so while people people across, e.g.,latin america will routinely try to keep as much of their savings as they can manage in dollars because their local currencies are subject to hyperinflation, none of this is a concern for even the poorest usamerican, because the dollar is comparatively stable and everything in their lives is priced and costed in dollars. which obviously does not mean 'all usamericans are rich' or 'usamericans never suffer from inflation or economic instability' or even 'the usamerican financial system doesn't systemically disenfranchise Black and native communities' -- just that imperialism is baked into every aspect of daily life for people who live underneath or within it.
you can see this most obviously in the ability of usamerican 'expats' to retire to the global south (typically central america or SEA) to live comparatively comfortable lifestyles because their savings are in dollars but just because it is most obvious there do not mean that its underlying logics do not apply more broadly
this is also why migrant workers from central america will risk coming to the USA illegally, facing legal consequences and intense racism, to do agricultural work for slave wages -- having their paycheck in USD means that money reaches a long further when they send it back to their families in their home countries.
This simply isn't the case for people in poverty and food insecurity, whose paychecks below a living wage would solely be used for the necessities of life which have high costs matching the high value of the dollar. Like, yeah, maybe the $540 a week a 7/11 worker makes (10 hrs, 6 days a week, $9/hr to assume) is comfortable within Mexico's cost of living, but in the US that's not enough to survive in most cities. Maybe you have a bigger market with a wider variety of goods available, but ur not spending ur $2000 a month on that, ur spending it on survival.
The only part that fully applies is what u say about remittances. People who expat are *not* the same as those who face brutal poverty. More people die of hunger in the US (over 20,000 per year since 2019), or lack of healthcare, than several dozen poorer countries. Consider Cuba, whose peso has hardly any value compared to the dollar, but whose cost of living is low, with a high "social wage" to compensate. Nobody in Cuba benefits from imperialism (quite the opposite), and p much nobody dies of hunger either (a relatively "privileged" life imo).
I'm not saying there isn't a relative "labor aristocracy" for certain sections of the USian working class, but dollarization doesn't really benefit USians who make less than a living wage. It doesn't automatically guarantee high standards of living and actually contributes to the decay in real wage.
right, but usamericans living with poverty and food insecurity can still have the basic assurance that the dollars they are paid in will be useful to buy food when they go to the grocery store. the point is not just 'dollars are worth more than other currencies' but 'dollars are stable, can reliably be used to purchase things, and imported and export-bound goods are both priced in dollars'. usamericans earning poverty wages and being brutalized by capitalism don't have to worry about finding ways to convert those wages into a currency that won't be worthless tomorrow. that doesn't mean they're not being brutalized by domestic capitalism, it just means that they're not suffering the effects of imperialism.
the idea that usamericans are somehow uniquely or primarily victims of hunger is also just not backed up by any data i can find. very unsurprisingly, it is a much bigger problem in africa, south asia, and latin america [x][x]. but like nobody is denying that the benefits of imperialism are not a lot of use to someone when they are dying because they can't afford insulin -- but that fact doesn't mean it's wrong to point out that usameicans as a class do in fact experience the benefits of imperialism. arguing that it does is just as specious as the old MRA 'wow, so you're saying a HOMELESS MAN has MALE PRIVILEGE?' routine.
Are we ignoring the human cost of stripping anonymity from women who just want to do their jobs.
Another week, another case. It feels like we are stuck in a loop, doesnโt it?
Once again, we have a trans medical professional in the UK, a woman who has likely spent years training to save lives, simply trying to use a changing room at work. Once again, we have a small group of nurses or colleagues dragging that simple act into a courtroom, attacking her right to be there.
For those who might be baffled by the ferocity of the British โgender warsโ, the context here is vital, because the media narrative says one thing but the reality is much different. We are seeing a wave of high-profile employment tribunals testing the boundaries of the Equality Act, most notably in Darlington and in Scotland (NHS Fife).
Take the Darlington case. If you read the tabloid coverage, you would assume a trans woman suddenly burst into a female space and acted inappropriately. The reality is far more mundane and far more revealing. The trans nurse in question had been using those changing rooms since 2019 without issue. For years, she came to work, got changed, did her job, and went home. The โproblemโ didnโt arise from her behaviour; it arose only when a specific group of nurses discovered her background.
Only then did they kicked up a fuss. And this is where the story shifts from a workplace dispute to something more orchestrated.
Prev is correct, the British press are complicit in all of this to the highest degree and it should never be overlooked. The government, the judiciary and the press are unabashedly intertwined in this arena, the most naked display of ruling class unity superseding any supposed superstructural division or independence of powers.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) on Wednesday said he does not support abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), while criticizi

zero patience for "irreversible damage" rhetoric because like... parents are allowed to do all kinds of other irreversible body modification to their kids and nobody gives a fuck. you can pierce your kid's ears, you can sign them up for a sport that will injure them for life, you can provide or withhold medical care like vaccines according to whatever whims you like. i've mentioned this before but my mom forced me to get laser hair removal done on my legs when i was a teenager because my body wasn't mine, the way i chose to upkeep it was a reflection on her. "irreversible damage" is very much part and parcel of the broader belief that parents own their children's bodies.

When the child from Gaza said, "We are children who never grow up," it wasn't just a passing remark; it was a reality we live every second. Even stars who made the world laugh, like Jackie Chan, couldn't hold back their tears at the weight of those words.
I am a prime example of the suffering we endure here in Gaza. I have been injured for over 550 days and have yet to undergo surgery to remove the metal fragments embedded in my body, and worse than that We live in a tattered tent that offers no protection from the rain or the bitter cold.
Please stop what you're doing now. Stop eating, we're hungry. Stop having fun, we're sad. Stop watching the matches, we've lost our schools. We're only asking to leave the Gaza Strip and live our lives in safety and peace, without killing, hunger, and destruction.
We hope to leave here for a safe country as soon as possible so that I can have my surgery and live in peace. Therefore, we need your voice, we need you to stand by us, we need you to see what we are going through, and we need your donations so that I can receive treatment and begin a new, safe life, please stand by us, please donate.
Fadel needs support!! Share and donate !!!
Please share and donate!!
Please friends, please help us. You are our last hope. You are the only ones who can save us. Please donate to us. We desperately need all the help we can get. It's bitterly cold here now, and the cold is deadly. Please donate.
Please help my friend Fadel to escape with his family. He needs to get surgery. He has been suffering from these injuries for far too long.
If you can donate anything, please send some funds his way.
PrEP definitely goes high on my list of "most significant and undersung inventions". its borderline a miracle drug, its cheap as piss and it has basically no side effects and 'it just works'
PrEP has less side effects than the birth control pill. I know it's stigmatised but you really, really should be on PrEP if you are having anal sex or sex with anyone who has anal sex, or if you otherwise engage in 'high risk for HIV' sexual behaviours or have sex with anyone who does. You really will not notice any side effects after the first two weeks. americans, you should be able to get it for free if you can find a clinic in the know.
heymistr.com will mail you prep for free. And you can do all the testing by mail if you don't have a clinic nearby
free in Denmark too, get in touch with Aidsfondet via one of their Checkpoints

Where Sorrow Stays and Hope Fades
"Sorrow has become our constant shadow. It lives within us and never leaves. We see it in the corners of our freezing tents as we remember the homes we once had. We see it in the eyes of our children when they wake up in the bitter cold, begging for a meal other than the piece of bread and cheese we struggle to provide.
We feel the weight of this grief every time we walk through the streets, unable to buy the food our families need, or even find a change of clothes to replace our worn-out rags.
It has been a long time since we last felt the warmth of a helping hand. We fear the world has moved on, thinking our lives have returned to normal. But the truth is, we are living through a nightmare that refuses to end.
Please, friends of humanity, do not forget us. Your donation is more than just money; it is a meal for a hungry child, a warm coat for the cold, and a reminder that we are not alone in this hell. Please, donate today and share our story. Your kindness is our only lifeline."

Guys, the killing has not stopped. Hunger is crushing us slowly, day after day. Gunfire surrounds us, and even tents and the last remains of our homes are not spared. There is no safety anywhere. What is happening in Gaza is not a tragedy or a conflict. It is genocide. We are not asking for sympathy. We are asking to survive. Please help us. Please save our lives.
