Many of us warned - repeatedly - before it occurred that the Iraq war would be a huge and fatal shift. We were ignored or shouted down. But I don't think any of us realised just how many monsters would come through the breach. 3/3 www.monbiot.com/category/war...

🕺 DEAD PRESIDENT DANCE 💃

When Nixon died, I danced
When Reagan died, I danced
When Bush died, I danced
When the other Bush dies, I will dance
When Puppyfucker dies
I will masturbate in the streets, dancing

It comes in handy.

“No roof to protect us, no food to feed our children, and no justice to hear our pain.
We are trapped between bombing, hunger, and cold, living only because death has not come yet

Good evening 🌘 This is Khaled from Rafah, #Gaza Strip, #Palestine. How are you today?

It's very cold in Khan Yunis, especially at night. It's raining, the air is humid, the tents have been flooded again. To keep warm and dry indoors, people burn paper and plastic.

Thanks to donations, I was able to buy some warm clothes for my family. But there's 19 of us, so not enough clothes for everyone. I'm borrowing my cousin's jacket whenever I go out.

Please help us:

@Geri @baraa1998 @simon_brooke @TomSwirly @neutrinoceros @gvenema i'm not sure, but wouldn't be surprised if it's more than two gaza-verified families now. gofundme is notorious for this shit.

I am a children’s teacher from Gaza, preparing to welcome my first baby while living in these extremely cold tents. I am in need of help to provide clothes and basic essentials for my baby.

Sharing this post might save my family.

I understand why some creators, including myself, don't leave #YouTube. However it's *vital* now more than ever to also make yourself a #PeerTube server. You need an accurate archive of your work that YOU control, even if no one watches it there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwJgDHJJoE

@TomSwirly Same, my friend, same.

@millerebonds @kathimmel @hyc @DanielleVossebeld @chielk @Gustodon @neutrinoceros @kkarhan @fabio @gvenema @Selicre @libertyotf @TomSwirly @simon_brooke @moshidon @matus_chochlik This would be an honor for us. My house was destroyed, but no one is encouraging us. They say Gaza will need ten years to return to how it was before; rebuilding it will take a long time. I'd rather die than wait. I hope that my child, my daughter, and I can leave Gaza soon.

@TomSwirly I know, my dear, I see your name everywhere. Thank you for your kindness. My prayers are that you will receive many times over for that good deed, my dear.🤲🙏♥️

I was laid off today along with several other people at my now former employer, supposedly for reasons unrelated to my future refusal to use LLM tools. Got a ton of boosts when I posted this originally, but no one reached out regarding job opportunities. Hoping that can change now that it's a bit more pressing. #FediHire #GetFediHired

2/13/2026 UPDATE: I GOT MY FIRST PAYCHECK VIA DIRECT DEPOSIT TODAY!! WOOHOO!!!

This means I can stop begging for money! Thank you all so much for boosting and contributing to my family's survival over the last few months. You have no idea what a difference it has made. We could not have done this without you!

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)

We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

Taxation of billionaires > philanthropy from billionaires

@callmeray @QasimRashid Yup; just look at Massachusetts and the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth about a 4% tax on $1+ million incomes that was going to run all the rich out of the state and two years in it has (checks notes) raised 246% of its expected yearly revenue in 2023 alone and there are 40% more $1+ millionaires there now: https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/04/28/massachusetts-millionaires-tax-institute-policy-studies-newsletter

@TomSwirly Thank you so much for your help, and I'm truly sorry for bothering you, but I feel helpless and unable to help my children.
