Condoning everyday fascism for those less fortunate is how you eventually get fascism for all. And this isn’t just about the US. This is a warning for Europe and beyond. Here in Europe, most of our governments have been merrily supporting the US and Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza (and the ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism, and apartheid) as well as previous imperialist invasions of far off lands for oil, happily sharing in the spoils of the suffering. (Not a surprise, really. After all, who were the settler colonialists that created the US?) Frontex is our ICE-in-making. We’re handing Palantir government contacts and data on our citizens. We’re lusting to construct our own panopticons. Successive neoliberal and conservative governments have been steadily pushing the ratchet to the right while demonising those who want to protect the environment and the most vulnerable and who have the audacity to imagine a future where the basic necessities of life – food, water, shelter, healthcare – are human rights, not commodities. In other words, we’ve been playing by the same colonial/neoliberal/conservative playbook as the US (heck, maybe we even invented it)… why should we expect any other outcome if we continue to behave in exactly the same way?
All this to say, if you’re fine with the boot being on someone else’s neck today, don’t be surprised when it’s on yours tomorrow.
There might still be time to change things for the better. But it will not happen unless the justice we seek is justice for all.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al Anyone who turns a blind eye to injustice today will find oppression on their doorstep tomorrow. Change begins with awareness and taking a stand.
Cette distribution a pu être réalisée grâce a des donatrices et des donateurs qui viennent d'un peu partout dans le monde. Et grâce à la confiance et le courage que beaucoup d'entre vous nous ont apportés. Et nous ne lâcherons pas car d'autres ânes et leur familles ont besoin de soutien.
This distribution was made possible thanks to donors from all over the world. And thanks to the trust and courage that many of you have shown us. And we will not give up because other donkeys and their families need support.

@thesilentheroes@piaille.fr @daliarezk@mastodon.social @eslam94@mastodon.social @Gardenia@piaille.fr It was a wonderful day, and the joy of the donkey owners with the food was indescribable. It was a well-organized and beautiful day. We hope to do more, and thank you to everyone who brought joy to the donkeys and their owners with this food.
@rania40@mastodon.social Salut Aya. Non. Pas du tout. C'est une nouvelle catastrophique. Israël accélére son Génocide. Interdire l'accès à Gaza à des ONGs indépendantes est une ignominie. En plus, on a de plus en plus de mal à envoyer de l'argent à Gaza. Je ne dis pas que le secteur de l'humanitaire est parfait. Mais MSF sauve des vies en l'absence de gouvernance et d'institutions publiques à Gaza.. Toustes celleux qui refusent cette idée sont des idiot.e.s voire des fachos.
@Gardenia@piaille.fr Yes, we do rely somewhat on this aid; it's not a blessing, but it alleviates some of the suffering. Preventing it would only make things more difficult.
My friends at Mastodon, I couldn't find an organizer for my campaign and I didn't receive the funds. I added my mother's link because it's verified and the money can be sent through it. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. I'll start with this link; perhaps the content will be different.https://tinyurl.com/rania-gaza

Two years have passed since our displacement and the loss of our home. Everyone in our city of Rafah has gone to the beach, and Kinda drew a house. She longs for our beautiful homes. Your help is what alleviates our great suffering. https://chuffed.org/project/161851-help-aya-

My friends, please help my campaign continue. Displacement is deadly, the need is urgent, and we can barely provide for basic human needs. Your donations ease the hardship of displacement and protect us from humiliation.

Palestinian Health Ministry: Death toll from cold in Gaza rises to 9
Just another piece of news… passed by unnoticed
No stir of conscience, no heartache
As if those who die are just numbers, not people
Not children shivering to their last breath
Or adults who went to sleep and never woke up
We are dying https://chuffed.org/project/161851-help-aya-go-to-uni-and-survive-in-gaza

Our situation with every passing storm this winter is not my own depiction, but rather a reflection of our collective plight in displacement camps. https://chuffed.org/project/161851-help-aya-go-to-uni-and-survive-in-gaza
We are trapped in tents and the freezing temperatures are almost paralyzing our limbs. We haven't moved an inch since yesterday.

Aya and her family are living in extremely hard conditions.
Your support can make a real difference in their lives.
Donate or share this video to help them. Thank you. https://chuffed.org/project/161851-help-aya-go-to-uni-and-survive-in-gaza @kathimmel@mstdn.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al @fabi@chaos.social @peterjwu@threads.net
RE: https://amicale.net/@RFI/115819413756403253
This news has been circulating since yesterday, reporting that more than thirty organizations have been shut down in Gaza. Is this an indication of an intention to end the war and alleviate the suffering here in Gaza?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@rania40/115797510310648620
My friends, this donation link has changed the lives of many families here in Gaza, and everyone needs help. I hope to be one of them, to change my life and the lives of my family, and to meet our basic human needs. Your donation is my greatest hope.
My friends, I've raised 100 euros to help me get into university, pay the registration fees, and study English translation. Unfortunately, I haven't found a Western organizer for my campaign. I've asked my friend to create this new account, but what I've raised will go back to the donors. @aral@mastodon.social @fabi@mastodon.social @kathimmel@mstdn.social @Geri@mastodon.online
