The massacre in Jenin is horrific but just the sight of bodies being left on the street because no ambulances/paramedics can get to them since Israel has been blocking them from reaching areas of the refugee camp…yeah there aren’t any words. Literally what can you even say

Update: now the iof is calling for the evacuation of Jenin Refugee camp - Palestinian families are being forced to leave. Colonizers doing what they do best

timesofgaza & eyeonpalestine & onlinepaleng have been posting about this live all day, please keep an eye on those accounts for updates

I think this is a good time as any to remind you that a little goes a long way. I implore you guys to please donate to Palestine. They have been facing hardships and violence at the hands of the Israelis since the occupation of their homeland started in 1948. Innocent people are being robbed of their homes, their lives, their dignity, and are helpless against it all.

Linked below are a few charities and organizations working to provide relief in the area. Please consider offering whatever you can.

Medical Aid for Palestinians

Helping Hand for Relief and Development

UNICEF

UNRWA

Al-Makassed Hospital (run by and for Palestinians in Jerusalem)

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

Also, when you finally turn your phone back on, make sure you are alone or can otherwise midigate the sound. Because it WILL go off the second you turn your phone back on.

Please be safe 💜

I dont know if this will go as badly as the UK test did, but the advice for at risk people DID NOT WORK for us, many people had their phones go off despite turning off the relevant settings and turning off their phones despite assurances that turning off your phone would be enough to prevent the alert.

I would highly suggest that you do not leave room for technical errors and that you store secret phones in a safe location where it cannot be heard, maybe with a friend or loved one that you can trust. Or perhaps go out with your phone to a public place.

Cops say that they live in constant fear of having to defend themselves and being wrongly seen as murderers.

If that were true, they'd be demanding that all of their interactions be filmed from multiple angles in order to make it very clear that using deadly force was the only reasonable option available.

Instead, they complain about being filmed.

Cops say that their job is very dangerous and that every interaction they have could be their last.

If that were true, they'd be grateful that people want to repeal laws against victimless actions, use social workers instead of police to deal with mental illness, and reduce crime by making sure everyone has what they need to survive.

Instead, they complain whenever those policy changes are proposed.

They're not trying to protect their safety. They're trying to protect their power.

Look at this scar. This is proof that I was once a mother. I gave up my body and my child for my country. There is nothing left inside me now. Nothing at all. No hatred, not even regret. And yet sometimes at night I can still feel the pain creeping up inside me. Slithering through my body, like a snake.
