We don't want anything to do with them so they threaten to kill us. The nation equivalent of an Incel.

The next game is being played in Serbia, which committed and still denies its own genocide against the Bosniaks in the 1990s. This is what the FAI are calling a 'neutral' venue. #StopTheGame

If you’ve never told a man you were in a relationship and he still wouldn’t stop texting you or leave you alone, even after you said stop or walked alone at night with your keys between your fingers

Mohamed used to teach social studies. this week he has to teach children "how to react in the event of gunfire from the yellow line." they're well inside Al-Mawasi camp. but since the IOF keeps moving the yellow line, they have to prep these kids for shoot-to-kill gunfire. bit.ly/help-mohamed

PLANT A SEED, GROW HOPE
Mohamed is the sole supporter of a family 13. He uses ancient farming techniques in Al-Mawasi camp to grow vegetables to feed them.
With your help, Mohamed provides everything for his family, including sending six kids to school. Every donation gives the family the chance at a better future.

The older I get and the more bullshit I experience due to having “BPD”, the more convinced I become that true recovery and healing are never going to happen for me. One step forward, three steps back and a swat on the head with the proverbial newspaper.

If I could quit having night terrors about my entire family, that'd be great. It's damn near impossible to function "normally" (lol) when you were lying next to your nana (who's alive) in her bed as she died. And when your dad (who is dead) is on his own deathbed, but gets up and walks to you.

It's nice to see South Carolina politics get the spotlight for once. Most Americans aren't aware that SC has historically been an epicenter of systemic racism and white supremacy. We started the Civil War, and we we were the most prolific enslavers of people trafficked from Africa.

‘The FAI hoped to wing their way through this fortnight but today collided with its brutal reality. The fallout is only beginning. Irish football has once again shown the world the importance of leadership by its unforgivable absence.’ - Gavin Cooney @gcooney93.bsky.social

Keen to talk to someone about registering @gazasupporthub.com as a charity in Ireland. If anyone has experience running / registering a charity and what the applicable laws are, please get in touch. This project seeks to donate *all* monies to the Palestinian families we support.

Thanks for sharing @joenoonan.bsky.social - I’ve heard very little about the Hungary game, lots of folks focused on the match in Serbia, what the FAI are calling a “neutral“ venue despite its own genocide of the Bosniaks. I wonder what Hungary‘s stance is, considering this history

It’s not easy and it isn’t their fault. They didn’t want this. And now they’re just a bunch of young men left alone with their obligations and their consciences. And what a credit to them that their conscience weighs so heavy in the first place.

It shouldn't have been left to the players to stand up for humanity. But they now have a chance to become hero's not just here in Ireland but all over the world. Come on boys in green #DontPlay & #StopTheGame #Speirghorm

it really is fucking disgusting that netanyahu was allowed to enter the UN without being arrested. what the fuck is the point in declaring that he is a war criminal if NO ONE is going to have the balls to arrest him. they will let him achieve his goals and mourn in retrospect

No donations for 25 days. Hamdan's son just messaged me again, and I can only say that I am sharing his campaign, even as I see that no one donates, even as he sweetly asks how I am and tries to remain cheerful. Help him support his family's survival in Israel's genocidal siege:

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.
