Abolish borders. 
Ruthlessly criticize all that exists.
Internationalism or bust.
⚠️ HEADS UP MAGA trolls will be incoming. The White House and DHS both just announced on X that they’ve joined Bluesky. These are their accounts:

Hello dears,

Winter is coming and rainy days will attack us soon .My innocent kids don't have winter clothes and they need jackets due to the burning and destroying of our flat during the war. They don't often sleep due to cold weather and also the continuing hunger here in Gaza. The price of a jacket is 100$.

Please donate even a few to help me buy them heavy clothes

Help the innocent kids to get warm.

Don't let freezing.

The Sameer Project is set up by Palestinians in the diaspora and is taking care of tarps, food, and medical and cash support for the forcibly displaced Palestinians in the south of Gaza. Here's a conversation with one of the founders, Hala Sabbah on e.g. mutual aid versus charity, the role of NGOs, the problems with Go Fund Me, and the situation in Gaza.

The young #Palestinian man who was burned alive in a hospital bed yesterday while the whole world was watching: 19-year-old Shaaban Al Dalo, student of engineering, displaced five times during the ongoing genocide. #Murdered by #Israel.

Η σιωνιστική γενοκτονία και η πολεμοκαπηλία πιθανότατα θα μείνουν στη μνήμη μας ως ο θάνατος του αμερικανικού κέντρου, με τη μεσολάβηση του ΟΗΕ, διεθνούς πολιτικού συστήματος που κυριαρχεί από τη δεκαετία του '90. Χρησιμοποιούν χημικά όπλα σε αξιωματούχους του ΟΗΕ και δεν έχει καμία σημασία. Δείχνουν ότι μπορούν να κάνουν ό,τι θέλουν και ότι οι ΗΠΑ θα τους δώσουν άπειρες προμήθειες ούτως ή άλλως, δεν υπάρχει πλέον καμία προϋπόθεση νομιμότητας. Σίγουρα το πρώτο σημαντικό σημάδι για τον φασισμό της διεθνούς πολιτικής που θα έρθει

The Zionist genocide and warmongering will likely be remembered as the death of the U.S.-centric, UN-mediated international political system that’s been predominant since the 90s. They’re using chemical weapons on UN officials and it doesn’t matter at all. They’re showing that they can do anything that they want and that the U.S. will give them infinite supplies anyways, there’s no longer any premise of legality at all. Definitely the first major sign for the fascistization of international politics to come

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your people.

Socially liberal.

Fiscally genocidal.

Sludge

The day after Hurricane Helene hit our region, Buncombe County’s assistant emergency services director called the devastation “biblical.” The phrase has been repeated by other officials and quoted widely in the media. While it’s understandable that a religious reference would resonate in a place that remains deeply impacted by Christianity, the phrase serves more to conceal than illuminate.

A biblical event is divine, a catastrophic exercise of power over humanity, an act of punishment. Appalachia’s “biblical” destruction echos the US Army Corps of Engineers declaration that Hurricane Katrina—which killed 1,392 people, most of them Black and working class—was an “Act of God.” When people with power attribute the suffering of those without power to God, they’re concealing culpability.

The death and destruction in Buncombe County is a direct result of capitalism, and environmental extractivism—a logical extension of colonialism and Appalachia’s two hundred year status as a national sacrifice zone.

One hundred thousand people in Asheville are not lacking water because of God’s wrath.

We’re without water because corporations and the political class have refused to take action on climate change. We’re without water because the city has systematically under-invested in infrastructure, while pumping money into tourism, for five decades. Water problems didn’t start with Helene, they’ve been a regular fact of life in Asheville for years.

Thousands of people in Buncombe County are not without food because of God’s wrath.

We’re without food because hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in WNC have been converted into overpriced subdivisions. We’re without food because police departments prioritized protecting grocery stores from looters over wellness checks, while 600+ community members were missing.

Natural disasters bring people together, they bring out our best instincts towards altruism, cooperation, and creativity—they should also make us furious. Our suffering is not biblical, it’s distinctively modern, and these leaders are responsible for it.

Israeli Airstrikes Target Medical Facility, Kill Five Gaza Health Ministry Workers

More than 1,150 Palestinians working in the health sector in Gaza have been killed by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, 2023 — one of many atrocities inflicted upon Palestinians over the last year. Two weeks ago, 986 health workers who’ve been killed were named publicly. Four days later, on Sept. 21, five Gaza Health Ministry workers were killed when Israel bombed a medical storage facility in the southern Gaza Strip.
