No One Should Starve for Being Born Here My name is Eslam Mohammad, I’m 24 years old, and I’m from Gaza.  Over the past year, I’ve lived through unimaginable horror.  I lost my home, my work as a photographer and artist, my friends, and the ...

Silenced Online. Fighting to Survive Offline.If You’re Seeing This, Act Now.

I’m going to be very clear.

Every account that tries to help me gets removed. Even when two friends created an account just to share my fundraiser — it was deleted within a week. Not for breaking rules. Just erased.

There is no stable platform left for me.

If you are reading this, this may be one of the few windows I have before I disappear again.

I am exhausted. I am trying to support my family. I am trying to survive with dignity.

If you’ve ever thought about donating — do it now.
If you’ve ever thought about sharing — do it now.

Silencing me won’t stop the need. It only makes it harder.

Your support is not charity. It is survival.

Donate. Share. Stand with us.

My friend Eslam and her family are in desperate need of support, as are many in Gaza. I'm not good with words, so I'll let her speak for herself. Read the alt text. If you are able to help, I'll leave a link at the bottom.

As Mr. Fanklin, did not accept when he was wrong, neither will the anti vaccine community, even when their children are dying in front of them.

Much like Benjamin Franklin's, belief in phlogiston, the people arguing against vaccines refused to accept factual data, when it's presented to them. The antivaccine movement has already been largely debunked and quite successfully. But it will take another generation before we hear less about it.

Countries commit to tackling climate disinformation at COP30 It is the first time states have formally committed to information integrity and fighting back against climate disinformation.

Good that Canada joins coalition to fight against climate disinformation (so maybe don't weaken greenwashing law?) www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

Good morning Bluesky.
It's time again to remember my friend @soma-eslam.bsky.social.

You can't see her right now, since her account was banned. She is still in danger along with her family and many, many others. They need food, and medical help.

Glad ICE is getting called out for plate swapping in Illinois, but this has been happening in California from the jump.

I was uncomfortable when ICE had less lethal ammo and chemical munitions.

Guided missile warheads is terrifying.

You do not need weapons like that to enforce immigration policy.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases.

Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

“They can’t discriminate against you for being disabled!”

In theory this is true. There are protections in place to prevent discrimination

In practice they don’t work. Especially with rising fascism and eugenicist sentiment

We are denied accommodations. Denied jobs. Denied housing. Denied support

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care.

There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate.

Who have needs that must be met.

Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”
