You Know The Funny Thing About Afghanistan?’ Griffin’s Voice Was Very Soft. ‘The British Aren’t

You know the funny thing about Afghanistan?’ Griffin’s voice was very soft. ‘The British aren’t going to invade with English troops. They’re going to invade with troops from Bengal and Bombay. They’re going to have sepoys fight the Afghans, just like they had sepoys fight and die for them at Irrawaddy, because those Indian troops have the same logic you do, which is that it’s better to be a servant of the Empire, brutal coercion and all, than to resist. Because it’s safe. Because it’s stable, because it lets them survive. And that’s how they win, brother. They pit us against each other. They tear us apart.

It has been 13 days since I left Gaza to save my children 💔

In that day tears filled my eyes and my heart stopped because I left it with my family in the war 😞💔

My young son said to me at that time, “Mama, I hope that God will write in the sky that anyone can travel without paying, so that we can go out with my grandmother and uncles🥹😭.”

- I hope that too my little and intelligent son, but i am trust that god will send people with kind hearts to help us🙏

Why it's not everywhere

1 year ago

Israel is bombing Rafah where millions of people are taking refuge. 610,000 children are in Rafah right now. Rafah is also a tent city where IOF forced people to go saying it's a safe zone. Israel has also taken control of Rafah crossing which means millions of people are trapped. Israeli tanks from three sides and sea on one side and bombing from the sky.

Fuck the Met Gala

Guys if anyone can help please do.

!!EMERGENCY FUNDS!!

Recently I have been very sick from spending a lot of time on the streets, enduring cold and this worsened my health, I was afraid this would happen, and it did. I have to be with oxygen cylinders to be able to breathe better when I got agitated, I am lacking a lot of air, and I am left without breathing, I am going to be discharged but I need to be in a cool, warm place, without humidity, and they ask me to take care of me a lot.

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Goal:$525/$1200

Thanks and be blessed ❤️

Nb:running multiple accounts in order to fulfill my goal in time

just a girl in her room trying to forgive herself

February 27, 2003 (To her mother)
Anyway, I'm rambling. Just want to write to my Mom and tell her that I'm witnessing this chronic, insidious genocide and I'm really scared, and questioning my fi ndamental belief in the goodness of human nature. This has to stop. I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop. I don't think it's an extremist thing to do anymore. I still really want to dance around to Pat Benatar and have boyfriends and make comics for my coworkers. But I also want this to stop. Disbelief and horror is what I feel. Disappointment. I am disappointed that this is the base reality of our world and that we, in fact, participate in it. This is not at all what I asked for when I came into this world. This is not at all what the people here asked for when they came into this world. This is not the world you and Dad wanted me to come into when you decided to have me. This is not what I meant when I looked at Capital Lake and said: "This is the wide world and I'm coming to it." I did not mean that I was coming into a world where I could live a comfortable life and possibly, with no effort at all, exist in complete unawareness of my participation in genocide. More big explosions somewhere in the distance outside. When I come back from Palestine, I probably will have nightmares and constantly feel guilty for not being here, but I can channel that into more work.
On March 16, 2003, an Israeli bulldozer crushed to death 23-year-old U.S. peace activist Rachel Corrie as she tried to prevent the Israeli army from destroying homes in the Gaza Strip. In a series of emails to her family, she explained why she was risking her life.
