For Mila. For Mila. For Mila. Please help.

Damn! We're In a Tight Spot, Charlie Brown!

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Charlie Brown happy.

Seasonal PSA 1: You are not officially late as long as you are not the last arrival.

There is nothing I can say that speaks better to the need and despair of this little family than the video of Mila and the words of her own mother, Marah. Her husband's Motaz's account was deleted yet again, so this campaign is critically important. They are in dire need. We are all they have.

My disability often keeps me offline, so I am pinning this in the hope that a personal, easy-accessible plea might help draw your attention to this little family of three. Motaz, Marah, & little Mila are entirely dependent upon us for drinking water, food, & medical care. Give or share if you can.

coming out of my cage and im doing just fine

Frankenstein (2025)

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

🚨🚨 🧵1/6 #FedFam, reporters - urgent help needed 🚨CDC Museum (a Smithsonian affiliate) is being shuttered🚨 Staff are being “un-RIFed” just to close the museum permanently — then RIFed again in Jan This is bureaucratic cruelty & cultural vandalism CDC Library is a national treasure #SaveCDCLibrary

The visual and psychic equivalent of a razor-sharp piece of popcorn husk sawing into your gum line.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

"Today I walked a long way to northern Gaza to see a doctor for diagnosis I spent hours on a rubble-filled road, with no food or water, and Mila crying all the way😭 The doctor wrote list of treatments & vitamins🙏🏻" This is agony to witness, let alone live. Can you help this tiny family?

Motaz, Marah, & Mila are still here, still fighting for a future together. The terror, deprivation, & illness are as relentless as they've ever been. The priority has been treatment for Mila & her mom - but without basic shelter & sustenance, they cannot regain any ground. If you can. Please.

tales of terror told in words of mirth

... is the book in the room with us *right now*?

Yet is there hope. Time and tide flow wide.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Chris is as astute, passionate, & committed a SCOTUS reporter as you will find. Unbeholden to corporate media, he delivers accessible updates & thoughtful analysis w/ integrity (& CITATIONS!); as an independent journalist, however, he also needs our subscriptions to Law Dork to keep him in bus fare.

We’ve officially reached the “even the small to medium outlets ask to license footage and photographs for free and say they will credit me,” stage in journalism. Wow, I got shot in the face with a tear gas canister and got like a dozen kinetic projectiles but PLEASE yeah here you are!

I agree: Sean Dunn is not guilty. This has been a “moments in living out the responsibilities you’ve assumed by selecting your username like seven years ago”

My Uber driver yesterday is doing rideshares b/c of the suspension of his SNAP benefits. A 74yo man paid the federal gov't his entire life based upon a promise of access to SS benefits & social safety programs. Now he is a senior in dire need b/c the GOP seized that $ & dishonored that pact w/ glee.

Good morning from Harlem #GoodMorningFromHarlem

I didn't realize that I would be SO happy that I would burst into tears, but here we are. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and team, thank you for a campaign run with - and for - strength, substance, & compassion in public service. Congratulations, NYC. My heart is overflowing with joy for you tonight.

Karim is an H2a worker from Jamaica who enjoys a UFW contract at NY Cahoon Farms. He shares: Joining a union was the best decision we workers made. We get wage increases, bonuses for extra bins picked, paid time off & other benefits that go beyond US DOL requirements." #WeFeedYou

They have fought so hard, for so long, to get to this place. Marah is worsening, with funds going almost entirely to treat Mila's high fever. The ceasefire is a lie. Fear has us holding our money close & turning our efforts inward now; but any amount, or even just a share, will save their family.

This feels like a Tim Robinson sketch

epic.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Motaz and Marah are gifted architects. "In 2022, I invested all my savings to build my home, dreaming of a stable life with my wife and daughter. But just a year later, my home was reduced to rubble, and our lives turned into an endless cycle of displacement, without shelter, security, or income."

"Every moment, I live in fear for my daughter Mila, who has known nothing in her life except the sounds of bombing and destruction. She wakes up terrified at night, living in constant panic and crying because of the sounds of attacks." They need food, clean water, rx, milk, clothing, & shelter.

[friends using Ouija biard] A-okay it’s an A. R-omg an R. A-R-E Y-O-U M-A-D A-T M-E yep it’s him

boo!

At least two of those enraged plague monkeys have absolutely, 1000% faked their deaths.

this is a centrist banishment circle 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🤡 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 repost to never interact with one again

oh, so NOW it's "we"

We can support our neighbors here and abroad. If you have any resources to share, any and everything might save their lives. Can you spare $5? That's okay! Even one share might lead to someone who can. Seriously. A single boost could yield a meal for Mila or medication for Marah. It all helps.

Resources are about to get really thin for a lot of families at home... but we can support our neighbors here & help them too. Only our collective participation in a compassionate global community can produce the mutual aid to fight gross inequities right NOW. $5 or a signal boost. If you can.

I just got another message from Marah. She is really, really sick. PLEASE help. I am begging you. Mila cannot be without her mother, and Marah cannot go on without treatment. She's in tremendous pain, and if they have to run, it could be a death sentence. You will literally be saving her life.

Motaz & Marah practiced architecture in the before. An endless cycle of violent displacement means leaving behind meager, precious items over & over again. They have no income, & their health - & little Mila's - continues to degrade. They are now sacrifing Marah's meds to keep Mila fed. Please.

I know them. They are a real family, & they need help. Badly. Marah is worsening severely because she has been forced to forego her medication in order to keep Mila alive. They have fought so hard, for so long - it's unbearable that they have to suffer in this way, just to stay together. Please.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

Food banks are about to need extra help with SNAP benefits on hold! High demand items are typically canned meats, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, chicken noodle soup, etc but if you look up your local orgs online they will likely have lists of what they need most!
