All eyes on Rafah
I’m not one of those nihilistic “there’s NOTHING us consumers can do!!!” people nor am I one of those anti-vegan bacon cultists but I’m seeing a lot of discourse about this and people on both sides need to be aware of something:
The beef industry is only the leader in Amazon deforestation because it is the highest bidder right now. For half a decade that was exceeded by soy production and in Indonesia the biggest rainforest killer is palm oil. Rainforest land that isn’t sold directly for some kind of food production gets cut down anyway because they still sell the timber and then the land is auctioned away to whoever will take it, even if it’s practically pennies, because the people holding that land have made a profit either way and a corporation that buys it for cheap is almost guaranteed to get some kind of use out of it or find someone else who wants it. Changing your diet will do absolutely nothing. Neither will boycotting paper and wood products. If they couldn’t even give the logs away they would raze the land and, again, just sell it for the corporate equivalent of a nickel. Protecting the land, period, is the only thing that makes a difference. The only thing. THE ONLY thing. ONE THING.
Messages of support and strength from Rafah, Palestine to the US student movement.
selfish online “anarkkkist$$” and “lefti$$t$$” want to see organized protestors pick up dildos when they should be wanting them to pick up some gun safety and discipline. put down the bongs pick up the blicks. put down the signs pick up the shields. i am tired of watching them getting helplessly beat up by cops and randoms. i want to see winning you want to see wanking we are not the same.

Concentration camp.
They built a concentration camp.
I don't think words can describe what this other than genocide.
i'd like to draw attention to a fundraising campaign for Hossam Bardaweel. Hossam's immediate family, his parents and his siblings, has been martyred. he's currently living in a tent with his neices and nephews and his campaign is still a long way from its goal.
this campaign was shared with me through direct contact with a palestinian whose campaign has been vetted and reached its goal alhamdulillah, and i trust its legitimacy. please donate any amount that you can spare!
if impoverished brown soldiers from a foreign national army invaded your town and killed your loved ones while obliterating all traces of the place you once called home…would you defend them by saying “well…none of these guys could afford college so they had to join the army” ?? would you do that??
army bootlickers please respond would love to hear some thoughts
