@skinnylatte I really enjoyed this!

Also GFMs for community kitchens and more!

This is why I remind people when they use ableist language, as this is White supremacist eugenic thinking. Imani Barbarin has a lot of good stuff on this on her social media (she's not active on Fedi). She's a disability activist and communication expert.

Also, to add to this thread: this is Dylan Rodríguez on Lexical Warfare, which is about exactly these points to. Words, lexicon, and narratives are battle grounds and the right has been very effective with this. They made a lot of liberatory words into their opposites. Unfortunately, with e.g. "woke" and "identity politics" the White left has helped them.

"Under capitalist structures that tie people’s worth to their productivity, where value is determined largely by how productive you are, ableism is used to frame disability, "non-productivity" as a terrifying identity to hold. Ableism therefore doesn’t only affect disabled people but affects everyone: we are all being judged on our ability/inability to be a good productive and obedient worker for the capitalists/fascists."

@ryanroberts The reality I can see is centuries of European islamophobia being used by Western and Israeli politicians to explain away their war crimes and continuing colonisation of, in this case, the S.W.A.N.A. region. She's not delusional, she just let the "Western Democracy" mask slip.

In case you haven't found anything yet, the Sameer Project works on the ground in Gaza in several places. On their IG and Chuffed pages they give breakdowns of how they've spend the donated money: https://linktr.ee/thesameerproject

Another important need are eSIMs, via https://connecting-humanity.org/ or via https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza.

Just a few suggestions.

@aral

For all my Palestinian followers: do not use an account on Mastodon . Social.

It's a German instance and they will censor your posts.

Go for example to https://freefree.ps/about or any other instance where they allow crowdfunding, politics and Palestine.

@palestine #Gaza #FamineRelief #PalestineSolidarity #FreePalestine

Some relatively simple ways to support Palestine and the Palestinians in Gaza:

1. Donate to personal GoFundMes and/or share them, for the incredibly expensive food. If you don't know where to start, go to https://gazafunds.com/, you'll get a random GFM to donate to. ANY AMOUNT HELPS.

2. eSIMs are the only way for Palestinians in Gaza to keep in contact and to get information out of what's really happening on the ground. Donate eSIM directly: http://gazaesims.com or donate to Crips for eSIM: https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza ANY AMOUNT WELCOME.

3. Join the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement:  https://www.bdsmovement.net/ Use the Boycat app!

4. Keep talking about Palestine! Put pressure on politicians and unions. Share information from https://decolonizepalestine.com/

5. Check your locale pro-Palestine groups and see if there's a way for you to join them in actions.

6. There are Palestinian led organisations like Workshops 4 Gaza, the Sameer Project, Palestine Medical Relief Project, and many more who can also use your support.

Ableism Is the Go-To Disguise for White Supremacy. Too Many People Are Falling for It.

Agents of white supremacy count on society’s existing behaviors toward the mentally ill—and all disabled people—to aid and abet their agenda without anyone taking a closer look.

Another example of a Western democracy government using Israel and Palestine to demolish their democracy: https://www.972mag.com/germany-deport-foreign-residents-palestine-activism/

When a democratic government puts itself above the law, there's no rule of law nor a democracy.

A lot of people are mistaking the mushroom for the mycelium ...

@vosje62 Jazeker, omdat een scheldwoord een wapen is. Voor de rest ben ik een voorstander van deze uitspraak van Mariame Kaba.

@anna

The same message is important for us in Europe (not a critique of your excellent post).

@pamela

@farbel It's the whole system including the not-for-profit prisons:

"I have found that state legislatures controlled by Democrats from 1984 to 2004 were more likely to build prisons. A common dynamic when a prison is being built is that Republican-led legislatures afterward pass stricter laws ensuring there will be more incarcerated persons."

"the supply of prisons generates demand that states grow the population of incarcerated persons. In fact, our working paper suggests that prison demand is not only inelastic but drives incarceration, not the other way around. States that build more prisons incarcerate more people."

On repeat, pointing to the votes in Dutch Parliament of today, November 19, 2024:

Something to witness: how "the safety of Israel" is the weapon Western democracies use to dismantle civil rights and turn their own countries into more open authoritarian police and surveillance states. IMO, they really got bold after they managed to "dissappear" the still ongoing pandemic.

Reminds me of that fallacy: "Israel is a democracy, and a democracy works within international law," from Thornberry (another Labour human rights lawyer ...) as answer if Israel starving civilians was a war crime.

All Western democracy leaders want this kind of democracy for when the food riots start.
