this one’s super shameful. encryption was rolled out because 2020 activists learned how to listen to their scanners to know when SRG would be showing up to beat them up, and NYPD disliked that. the only actual impact this has is preventing news teams from being able to report on emergencies.

Hello I think that if someone makes an AI program that is capable of doing heinous crimes, that person should be charged with committing those crimes.

Life is too heavy… My brother needs treatment, and no one sees him. Children are cold, without clothes. Please don’t look away 🤍 gofund.me/394f690b @mommunism.bsky.social

Hana is my last daily verification so if you’ve always thought you wanted to donate but haven’t- here’s a chance to help a family of 7 ❤️

Emergency rescue😭🥶🥹🥶 We are pleading for your help. Our tent is destroyed; we are homeless, without a tent, and slowly freezing to death. We urgently need $150 to buy a tent. Please help kids; my wife suffers from a heart valve condition🥹 Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

NPR reported today that the overwhelming majority of the aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is *commercial.* In other words, Israel is banning free food and shelter aid and only allowing in goods that Palestinians have to buy. With money they don't have.

Just got horrifying news about the conditions where German is being held so I'm sharing the gofundme again. Please share widely and donate if you can gofund.me/575c7a343

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed is just 17 years old he told me he was really good at math but he hasn’t been able to study since the war began because the schools in tents are too far away. His family owned a grocery store but it and their home was destroyed.

Oh God, my child, whom I waited so long for, is now sick from the extreme cold. We live in a tent, and his fever is very high. He cries day and night. Please donate to buy him warm clothes, blankets, medicine, food, and diapers. Please, I beg you, I don't want to lose him.😭😭 gofund.me/7fc0e346

Bluesky managing to delete an account immediately after I share it 🙄. Here is a video Amir made of where he is staying right now- he is really hoping to be able to rent a room ❤️

4 of the hunger strikers are still going. And unless we up the pressure the state is going to get away with killing them. Please read this and use our toolkit to take action. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hadeel. Hadeel and her husband owned a business before the war but it and their home was destroyed. They are living with their children Joan, 3 and Celine, 16 months, who was born during the war. They are struggling with vitamin deficiencies.

I wrote the captions on this video the night Osama Bin Laden was killed and it’s probably the most shared thing I ever created.

Dragon Quest enemy ass pose

All I can think of this Christmas is that last Christmas, between 70,000 and 120,000 Palestinians were alive that have since been murdered by Israel's genocide. Over half of them were children. That's 500 to 1,000 children murdered per week. Or 82 during a four hour Christmas evening.

Israel is continuing to bomb, starve, torture and displace Palestinians, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. We cannot turn away or let our governments normalise these abuses.

Officially, seven people have died in ICE detention this month. Thinking about the way the Trump admin vanishes both people and data, I suspect the real number is higher.

thinkin about stuff

WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people. Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

thinking of the fugitive slave act and people who profited from it

If you're having trouble watching other versions, here's an Internet Archive link for the 60 Minutes CECOT segment suppressed by Bari Weiss in the U.S.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

🎂 One month before the war — Mona’s birthday. Now — she’s injured and silent. 😭 We had cake, laughter, life. Today I scream in pain in a torn tent, trying to protect my girls. 💔 We’re not numbers. We’re a loving family destroyed by war. 🙏 Please help us survive. 🔗 gofund.me/5f3d994f4

please help my friend hammam & his family. it’s him, his mom, and his brother who’s special needs. he shouldn’t have to beg to survive.

@anyaustin.bsky.social got a bunch of people to guess how many trees are in skyrim and then donated $10,000 to Palestine Children's Relief Fund so that at least warrants watching him derive forestry sciences from first principles

The father and son whose separation at 26 Federal Plaza last month drew widespread outrage have been deported to China. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/19/f...

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

really important video from pmg to the point where even complimenting it feels in its own way like a damning failure because this is a couple independent games journalists covering one of the most sophisticated systems of extermination in the history of humanity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybj1...

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad is a web programmer and designer. He is 23 and was starting his life but lost his laptop early in the war and then his home. He was shot while he was trying to get water for his family from a roof container and needs a surgery.

Led By Donkeys has staged a stunt outside a prison holding a hunger striker

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

Reminder that @propublica.org and managing editor @charlesornstein.bsky.social showed their whole ass in March with this laughable utter lack of understanding how these things work: www.propublica.org/article/usin...

“ the jail is at a horrific state right now."... “We hear stories,” Harris, the county mayor, tells me, of “individuals that are standing for 24 hours straight because there’s no room or place for them to sit down. I don’t have the words for what’s happening over there.”

Q104.3, NYC’s classic rock station, just aired an ICE commercial narrated by Kristi Noem. One of the grossest things I’ve ever heard.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shadia. Shadia and her husband lived on a farm and grew their own crops prior to this. The farm and their home have been destroyed. Shadia is 72 years old and has both cancer and diabetes. She is trying to find her insulin and health needs.

Bluesky deleted his account (and keeps doing it). I verified that his account is him & that this Chuffed fundraiser is his: chuffed.org/project/1580...

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

You know, some days I sit and think about how absolutely wild it is that we've built a society where we don't provide a place for people to even sleep at night without having to pay for it, and that we've somehow made it seem like that's normal.
