1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration: Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure. Its a horrifying escalation.

🧵 will drop news in this thread here today #Iran #Palestine #Lebanon

I'm sending him funds today for the first time in over a month. He's about 70 short to make this transfer worthwhile, if anyone can contribute that (I'm... out of money idk what to say)

"We are living through very difficult days… My father is sick and urgently needs treatment. Hunger is exhausting my family every single day. The rain has flooded our tent, and we no longer have safe shelter. Please, help us in any way you can — our lives are at stake. 🙏" chuffed.org/project/161883

We've got until a little after Ramadan to do something really meaningful for kids who were locked up in the occupation's prisons. Not sentences that should exist! This program will bring them workshops + more for their mental health. Let's do it!!! chuffed.org/project/hmg

In addition to being inclusive, writing the alt text for images is fun tbh.

From Ruaa: We are now in the holy month of Ramadan, and my family is in urgent need of regular support and donations. Unfortunately, I am unable to stay online consistently to promote and share my campaign as I used to. (1/3) linktr.ee/safety4ruaa

We’re back with SPARKS FOR SPARK SPACE! Last weekend we swung ten new £5 pledges to keep this workspace open for hundreds of families working & studying online. Not just survival: autonomy, dignity, and resilience. Click “weekly” or “monthly” on a five: chuffed.org/project/spar...

The BBC’s decision to cut this section of Akinola Davies Jr’s speech when the Baftas was broadcast later in the day is shameful.

New week, same goal. Please support Lama, who is trying to get out of Gaza and continue her education & her life under better circumstances. Thank you so much.

The week has started and we have only 4 days to go to reach our goal for this project. We are stuck at £1,565/4000, can you help us? Thank you! chuffed.org/project/mawa...

My friend Lama needs your help. As soon as she can get out of Gaza, she wants to continue her education in the UK or in Ireland. She has a few scholarships already, but sadly this won´t be enough. Please support her if you can. Thank you. chuffed.org/project/1682...

New scandal at #Berlinale. After Wim Wenders refused to comment on Israel/Palestine and requested the Berlinale to stay out of politics, now foreign office added next scandal, refusing visas for Sudanese filmmakers. A #Berlinale in Fortress Europe is not possible www.screendaily.com/news/acclaim...

More than 80 filmmakers denounce 'censorship' over Gaza at Berlinale - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/more-80-filmmakers-denounce-censorship-over-gaza-berlinale

Every week, over two hundred folks help sustain six families. This means survival for Mohamed, his siblings, & their parents, still displaced, still reliant on help. Can you join in with a weekly coffee for their food & more? Give/find their link here. chuffed.org/project/hope...

Only 6 days to go for this campaign, can we make it happen? Please support this project however you can, donate, share, be a lifeline. Thank you. chuffed.org/project/mawa...

Severe illness, a crumbling house, and lapsing education: help this family cope with mounting burdens. Akram can't be on here as much to ask for help (and he shouldn't have to ask in the first place!). Every ounce helps: chuffed.org/project/help...

Even if I could type this, I don’t have space to describe all the survival needs of these twenty-one families. OR how much you help. Hit "weekly" to join over two hundred folks sustaining support. It means food, water, baby supplies, shelter, + more.

My children keep asking: “Are we staying here, Baba?” I want to answer with certainty.💔 We are £315 away from securing this month’s rent. Your kindness turns uncertainty into safety. 🙏 Thank you for being part of our story.❤️

13 days to go, help us reach this campaign goal for this project! chuffed.org/project/mawa...

You all know Akram, who's had one of the oldest accounts on here (of anyone!). He's still the sole provider for his five siblings and mother, and he relies on our help to alleviate this burden and help them survive. Help make their shelter livable: chuffed.org/project/help...

No organic support in three days. But we’re so close to having 100% pledged!! The average pledge is around £10. chuffed.org/project/hope...

chuffed.org/project/mawa... Two weeks to go with this campaign, we are at £1,555/4000. Please help the volunteers who are trying to help their neighbours. Thank you!

Today, we highlight little girls Remas & Toleen: the situation remains tenuous for these kids, and rhey still need support to survive. Anything helps with rent, winter supplies, food. Make it monthly or weekly, if you can! Give/find their link here: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Really informational listen/watch

You know what to do. Get this single parent & kid URGENT help. We all know Wolf. They were the first to documented every [redacted] feature on here that is now affecting everyone. Well, now they need us. Truly anything helps, especially clicking “weekly” or “monthly”: chuffed.org/project/1243...

I'm offline for health and Akram is offline for endless emergencies!!! Check his page for photos and videos of how his home is crumbling...help him get repairs done for his siblings & mama to return home. Anything at all helps! Make it recurring! chuffed.org/project/help...

Stunning update to mark 1 year of Spark chuffed.org/project/spar...

Happy birthday Yamen !! The big man is 10 🎉 Please send him your birthday wishes (via Nicola) and a gift for his family if you’re able. Hopefully next year we'll be celebrating in happier circumstances 🙏 @mommunism.bsky.social 💖 gofund.me/dafc2d6bf

Throughout February and especially on Ireland Reads Day, February 28th, Libraries Ireland is calling on people across Ireland to get lost in a good book. It doesn’t matter what you read, where you read or how well you read, as long as you read. www.irelandreads.ie

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

The beauty of reading both Stone Circle poems on Sunday is that you really see the magnificent job @leepottspoet.bsky.social always does with pairing poems. "Obviously / I am the most beautiful leaf in the world." 💖

I’m flying from my warm weather to your snow, Rhode Island. I can’t wait to read with poets I admire at a beloved bookstore. Do come if you can tomorrow night ❤️

If you don't know anything about Puerto Rico, maybe shut up about Puerto Rico, and maybe if you are a public figure and you don't know anything about Puerto Rico and you won't stop badmouthing Puerto Rico, possibly do the world a favor and head towards a volcano and keep walking til your shoes melt.

As internet remains weak in Gaza, hundreds of people come to Spark workspace EACH WEEK to connect to online jobs & classes. To feed their families & build their future! Help this youth-led humanitarian project empower the community. Hit "weekly"! 0/770 by Saturday: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

not even a blip that the execution bill passed. no riots in the streets to stop this?

Today we highlight Nya & family: they’re struggling in “shelter” that is no shelter at all, while the cold and rain continue. Including children who are VERY vulnerable to hypothermia. They rarely get direct help. Winter supplies & more. Give/find their link here. chuffed.org/project/hope...

printable flyers, a list of ideas on how to fundraise (use these for anything), a 1-click email, a whole zine, idk

The engine of the giving circle is to get automated weekly support for six families & a camp to access survival needs. Sustain their survival & dignity. Click one of the recurring options to join, OR spread the word with our toolkit. Then ACT.

❤️❤️‍🩹

❤️❤️❤️ So much love for Spark Space. Please help them remain open 🍉🍉🍉

Perfect indeed. lolsob

All help for Ahmad and his family deeply appreciated ❤️

Epstein funded organisations linked to Israeli military As per the FBI documents, Epstein “trained as a spy” under former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, also funded the largest settlement-building body in occupied Palestine, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) www.middleeasteye.net/news/epstein...

Wer Arbeitspflicht von Bürgergeldbeziehenden fordert,weiß nicht,dass bereits 15% von ihnen aufstocken,um zu überleben. Ich bin putzen gegangen,habe in Teilzeit studiert und ALG II bezogen (weil alleinerziehend). Mich kotzt das so an, Menschen per se Faulheit zu unterstellen.

Something I learned as I became progressively more disabled is that the worse off you are, in any regard, the less likely people are to have compassion for you. Unhoused neighbors know this better than anybody. They deserve shelter and care. We all do.
