Out And Loud- Just Saying What I Want To Stay

you punch nazis!

First, they're gonna tell you to boycott literally anyone. I'm starting to feel like being boycotted is default for an artist. I understand boycotting companies like McDonald's who actively fund Israeli (stfu if you call it 'isnotreal', it is very much real) soldiers, but there'll be a company who just happens to have locals or products available for Israelis and suddenly they're on those Pinterest boycott lists. The truth is we boycott to take the guilt from out minds, because what are you really trying to achieve? You want the brand to stop being worth it for its owner and disappear? Good luck with a multimillion dollars company. And have you seen how much good people don't want to give their coffee up? You want it to stop supporting Israel? Maybe you could achieve that, but it still has many other brands that won't break and the USA government itself. And to explain why did I even use the word 'artist' at the beginning of the paragraph...

The artist boycotts. For example Melanie Martinez, Jimmy Urine or Lana del Rey. If I am to be absolutely honest, I don't give a shit if someone who is ahem problematic gains a bit money because I like their music. Timothy literally wanted to share their story. They didn't ask for a trial or for people to hate on Martinez. They don't want her in prison. Unlike the corporation boycotts, who attempt at stopping your money from funding a genocide, boycotting a celebrity literally changes nothing even if half her fanbase does that. Timothy won't get unraped (and btw grapes 🍇 are for snacking and wine, not for ruining people's lifes). Same with Jimmy Urine's victims. Besides, they're both rich enough for a few dollars to not make a difference at all. And Lana del Rey neither supports Israel nor has an incestous relationship.

Let's leave the boycotts alone, time for media. I'm not saying it's all great and fun but back then you literally could write anything without getting cancelled. Like you could have the main character be a white cis straight girl with blonde hair and blue eyes who wears a dress and nobody would bat an eye. However now the representation for gays must adhere to strict rules that make sure you actually believe they deserve a good life. Back then movies were about political commentary and life from the eyes of a subjective narrative, and now we have to pass the Bechdel test in all scenes and make sure we're both kid friendly and appealing to adult audience.

Anyways I'm tired and starting to bullshit (I don't wanna save it to finish it off later) so. Goodbye I guess. Have a great period of life. If you want you can reflect on the topics, or just feed your cat.

I don’t know how I am still holding on...

My name is Najah, and I am a mother of six children, including newborn twins 👶👶 who need urgent care every single moment.

We are living through extremely difficult days filled with fear, hunger, and the lack of basic necessities 🥺🍞

Sometimes my children go to sleep without enough food, and I stand helpless before their tears because I cannot provide milk, diapers, or medicine for them.

My newborn twins are still so fragile, and their tiny bodies need constant nutrition and care 🍼💔

But our situation has become far beyond my ability to handle, while my other children face hunger, cold, and fear every day.

For many days, we have not received any donations or help, and our situation keeps getting worse with every passing hour.

I try to stay strong for my children, but my heart breaks every night when I see them suffering and I have nothing to protect them with.

Every second now is precious ⏳

Every act of kindness could be the reason my children survive 🙏

I am not asking for the impossible — only for a chance for my children to live safely, stay together, and have hope for another tomorrow.

Please, from the bottom of my heart, do not ignore our suffering 💔

Any small donation could help me buy milk, diapers, food, and medicine for my children.

I am Najah, living with my twin children in a tent. As the tanks approached the area where we are staying, my fear was no longer for myself, but for my two little children who need safety more than anything else. All I hope for is that this danger passes peacefully and that I can protect them from being displaced once again.

Please donate $25, $50, $100, or any amount you can give 🤲

Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference in my children’s lives.

And if you cannot donate, please share our story everywhere you can 📢

Your compassion may reach someone who can save my children before it is too late.

I beg you — stop here, donate, share, and choose kindness before this silence becomes another tragedy for my family.

Thank you to everyone who listened to our pain 🌸

Your kindness today could give my children another chance at life and safety.

In November, Wood indicated that using the word genocide to describe acts of war and potential war crimes in Gaza was irresponsible. Now he's decided that he needs to call it genocide to properly represent the views of voters in Maine (although it's really just adopting the prejudices of authoritarian leftists seeking to destroy the Democratic Party, who actually make up the minority of Maine voters).

Does no one have a spine anymore? Has no one learned a thing from Michigan? Or any other state where authoritarian leftists take hold?

blatantly spreading the Greater Israel conspiracy as fact, and calling Israel itself "quite antisemitic"

I started watching him after deconverting from the Christianity I was raised in, his calm and thoughtful demeanour helped me avoid falling into the angry atheist stereotypes. while obviously critical of religion, he's always been very well educated and understanding, so seeing him repeat antizionist/antisemitic talking points without a second thought has been very disheartening :/

I genuinely think that zionists who make these talking points don't ACTUALLY understand the history of the Levant, many Palestinians are descended from jews AND Arabs. No one is saying that Judaism is JUST a religion. Many of the American Jewish zionists defend Zionism and Israel's occupation will compare it to indigenous people taking back their land, but they don't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that if indigenous people did it the way Israel is doing, they would be murdered??

For the sake of argument that Palestinians were JUST Arabs, why tf are you pushing them out for something that happened a literal millennia ago? The little Arab children did not take "your" land a thousand years ago.

Because I did.

She's so brain dead. There is no redemption for a Nazi, and it is not the job of jewish women to prove their humanity.

Because I did.
