This was shot last year. It explains what life is like under the occupation in Palestine, especially the west bank. It’s very important and informing about everyday life, please watch it and share it as much as possible.
An interview by Dena Takuri.
“700 children are arrested by Israel in the West Bank every year.”
“We are joining millions of people across the US and around the world in demanding an end to Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza and its decades-long occupation of Palestine,” said Ellie Tang, an organiser with the anti-war youth organisation Dissenters.
“We urge Congress and Biden to hear the calls of millions of us living in this country and push for a ceasefire. Until Congress blocks the bombs, we will.” […]
The blockage was organised by Dissenters, St Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, Black Men Build St Louis, the Boeing Arms Genocide Campaign, and Resist St Louis.
The activists are calling for two immediate actions: firstly, for Congress and Biden to demand an immediate halt to hostilities, and secondly, to halt arms sales to Israel.
They are also urging communities to persistently partake in direct action aimed at Boeing and other firms benefiting from Israel’s occupation.
“We want Congress to know what it looks like to take brave action. And that we will not wait for their timelines to actualise demands of ceasefire,” said Su Mac, an artist and organiser.
“As taxpayers, we all have blood on our hands. Congress must act before they are etched into history books as complicit in a genocide the country called on them to stop. The whole world is watching.”
Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost
Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!
It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.
I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?
How many relationships? How much writing?
You may think this won’t happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.
IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.
Back up your files! Download anything you’ve saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!
Here is a program that lets you download any and all of your discord DMs, your servers, everything. You can set the format (raw text, html (dark and light), and others. You can even download the uploaded files not just the text, though that may be just for the command-line version not the GUI window version.
Please back up your conversations, your stories. I have a backup of everything I care about that runs once a week, with full attachment backups every several months. I write stories on discord, and would be devastated if someone happened to them. You have to have your own local copies of every file you care about.
hey, don’t cry. one half flour one half yogurt knead into dough and fry for easy flatbread and dip in balsamic vinegar, okay?
After three batches, my findings so far:
I use full fat Greek yoghurt and self-rising flour
Ratio by weight
Add a pinch of salt
Knead until no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary
Roll them with olive oil instead of flour and fry in an otherwise unoiled, preheated pan (medium heat) (trust in the lord; it will seem like it’s going to stick to the pan at first but they’ll unstick in about 15 seconds)
Roll them thin but not too thin; mine take about 45 seconds on either side
Serving with garlic butter is also a very good option
I’m gonna be eating these for a month
This actually works?? Two-ingredient bread??
I gotta try it.
That’s…naan.
That’s naan?
*runs to Google*
HOLY SHIT THAT IS NAAN! HOW DID I NOT KNOW NAAN WAS THAT EASY TO MAKE?
tacoma block the boat update from 1:37pm 11/06/2023
things i have heard but can not personally confirm:
a worker on board the ship is refusing to continue on working, they do not want to support genocide, they will be let off the ship
riot police are showing up in vans along gate 7
there is a call for supplies: C and D batteries, tarps, handwarmers, food and water, hot beverages, canopies, ponchos/rain protection, trahsbags, portable phone chargers, can be brought to thorne rd and 11th st
they need more people and cars to help block roadways as well as drivers
there are plans to be there until at least 10pm tonight (11/06) many people have been there since yesterday afternoon
water warriors from niaqually puyallup and other local tribes are currently blocking the orlando from leaving the port of tacoma waters, on the ground info says that the ship was not successfully loaded and only has part of the weapons loaded
there are an estimated 400-600 people blocking the boat
no further updates on riot cops other than them lingering
3:47pm 11/06
[Video description: A tiktok of a person (@hunterkaimi) with a mask hanging over their ear speaking in front of the water. It is labelled “1:37 11/6 update.” Chanting and drums are heard in the background. They say: “It is 1:37 here, here’s the newest update. In my previous post, I mentioned that there were 60 riot cops who were potentially moving in. That is not confirmed to be true. There are riot cops here but they do not, I think, intend to plan on moving in until maybe 3:00 or so, but that is just what I’ve heard.
But, in a new update, right behind me is a tug boat that is possibly going to have to move the ship. This could mean a few things. It could mean that it is moving to a new port, so stay alert if that is the case. But it also means that nothing got loaded onto the ship. We did our fucking job. Nothing got loaded on. Because the longshoremen and everybody refused to do it and nobody was allowed into the ship to work. Nobody was able to access and operate the ship in loading everything in. So I think the military loaded in one crate of ammunition, or, um, or weapons or whatever it was, but because they don’t know how to do it, they don’t do it every day, they were unsuccessful in loading up the entire ship.
I also want to give a massive, massive, massive thank you and shoutout to the water warriors that are protecting the waterways and are using canoes to block this vessel. Like, just picture how powerful that is. Indigenous folks are in their fucking canoes in front of this massive United States military vessel blocking it from leaving.
Of course, I will keep you updated, but the latest that I’ve heard is that it is possible the ship is now being sent to a new port because nothing was loaded in. I apologize I’m stuttering so much, I’ve been up since like 3:30 in the morning, we’re all tired, we’re all cold. But the sun is coming out and I think this, um, it’s really turning around.” End description.]
Looks like the biden admin is showing the first signs of caving regarding its support for the israeli gvt and is attempting to distance him from it. This should not be allowed to happen. He has a hand in this genocide and stepping away is not enough.
The most recent statements have changed from overt support for israel to a concession that israel’s civilian killings are too much, but he’s now claiming to be unable to exert enough influence to stop them. This is not true. He is trying to continue allowing it while avoiding culpability when he should be opposing it directly.
Nicknames like genocide joe and genocidin biden seem to have his campaign afraid that he might not win a second term if he keeps aiding ethnic cleansing. Good. Until he halts all material aid he should still be treated as an ongoing genocide supporter. And even after that he will never be clean of the lives of the people he helped put to death.
