What is happening now, 90 nautical miles from our shore, is an illegal kidnapping of all those on board the ships that set out to break the siege on us. The Zionist forces are illegally kidnapping activists who are trying to break the siege on Gaza. This is the second time this has happened. Damn the Israelis.

With this mission failing again, please save my friend Nader. The fleet will not be able to deliver aid to Gaza. Please continue to support Nader and his family and donate to them so they can provide food.

We had high hopes for this fleet to deliver aid to us, but it was intercepted. Please do not leave us alone. Please participate, donate, and contribute to donating to us. Please.

The Nazi fascist Zionist occupation forces stormed the flagship ship Alma Aan.

Please share!!!!!!!!

Please help my brother Nader, please do not ignore us! Donate, please!

Why is no one helping us? Why is no one donating? Please, young people, share with us and donate. No one has donated for two hours. Please donate. We are in dire need of your support. Please help us. Save what is left of us. Please donate, even if it is something small. Everything helps us. Please.

If you're helping helpless, you can genuinely assist someone in need by donating to Nader

Hey guys please donate to us

What we are going through is real injustice. Everyone is ignoring us. We really need your help. Please do not stop supporting us and sharing with us. Please donate to us. Please, please. We are going through the worst days of our lives now. Please donate.

Please don't forget about Nader and his family, they need your help especially since the flotilla was stopped

My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

It feels like this is the biggest story to still be flying relatively under the radar in the anglophone press. If a single phonecall from a racist pig American can get hundreds of your senior engineers and their families, who are only there to oversee factory construction up to spec, rounded up and sent to the Gestapo torture dungeons then suddenly it's an open question if any Korean, Japanese (and indeed eventually potentially even European) firm will ever feel safe directly investing in the US ever again

the relevant Korean captions read:

"Handcuffs heated in the summer heat gave burns" and "feared gravely that they might lose their unborn child."

more people should talk about the fact that alberta canada is very quickly sliding town the same path that the southern us is irt anti trans legislature and putting trans minors in direct danger

did you know edmonton is censoring books with any reference to sex, sexuality, violence, or anything else deemed unfit for minors? even books that were fine half a decade ago for school assignments and curriculum

did you know that parents have to be notified for minors to use different pronouns or names in school - 15 and under need permission from parents to go by a different name or pronouns

did you know trans women would not be allowed in sports in alberta?

the premier is outright saying doctors are wrong for opposing these changes and movements against trans youth and trans people as a whole

it's worth noting that some of the proposed banned texts in edmonton school curriculums were beyond justcompletely fine when i was in school here (2016-2018)—watchmen went from being an approved ELA diploma text to being on the table for getting banned from school libraries.

margaret atwood has also spoken up in light of the handmaid's tale being on the drafted list of banned material by edmonton public schools

The State Department on Thursday indicated it would review the legal status of immigrants "praising, rationalizing, or making light" of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting.

fuck DC and fuck everyone who encouraged them to do this

going fucking scorched earth and giving every transmisogynistic reactionary everything they wanted just to bend the knee and cover their asses post-kirk death is absolutely disgusting. fuck this company and fuck everyone who played into it with your stupid "boycotts" of felker-martin and all your made-up bullshit reasons to accuse her of being an awful person for the crime of being a trans woman who speaks her mind. fuck all of you and all of this

Here is some extra context for people who had not learned yet. DC canceled a series by transgender writer Gretchen Felker-Martin after she voiced her opion on Charlie Kirk (she called him a nazi bitch).

Right now my thoughts are with the family of Melissa Hortman, a democrat from Minnesota who was assassinated along with her husband and her dog in the dead of night. Senator Mike Lee (from Utah) made a joke about it. There was no moment of silence, no national response. MAGA extremism kills people.

Here’s a picture of her and her dog. Sometimes it’s hard to really conceptualize these things without faces to go with the names.

I wonder why no major news outlets have focused on this story, or posted this photo of her with her golden retriever. Her dog looks just like mine. My heart is shattered every time I look at this.

Gilbert was a service dog dropout, who flunked out because he was “too friendly.” The Hortmans, of course, were thrilled to officially adopt him. He was the second retriever the Hortmans fostered and trained through Helping Paws. Their other foster dog, Minnie, was successfully placed as a veteran’s service dog. Helping Paws is always accepting donations in Melissa and Gilbert’s memory:

Melissa did so much for Minnesota, and I’m so angry that her murder was mocked by Republican legislators while the assassination of a hateful podcaster who rubbed shoulders with white nationalists and Nazis somehow receives more outrage. Trump never even reached out to Walz to express condolences for Melissa. He refused to attend her funeral. Now he wants to give Charlie Kirk The Presidential Medal of Freedom. I’m so fucking angry about it.

Reminder that when actual representatives in our government were targeted and assassinated (or attempted assassination) flags were not ordered to be at half mast. Kirk held no official position. He was simply a right wing spokesperson who spouted the same hate as Trump and the rest of his boot lickers.
