Hey do y'all remember several years ago when we were all freaking out about net neutrality being overturned? Well despite net neutrality's win in 2024, a federal court just overturned it.

For those who aren't aware, net neutrality is the simple principle that companies like Verizon and Comcast should treat all web traffic equally – not pick and choose based on who is willing to pay more or who they like best. Big Tech companies obviously don’t like that – which is why they spent millions lobbying against it over the years.

Now, these megacorporations will be able to seize control back over our Internet. The likely result? Throttled access to streaming services, monopolistic pricing that cuts out competition, and a slower, walled off, and less free Internet for all of us.

And unfortunately, rulings like this will only get more common now that the Supreme Court has overturned the “Chevron deference” – giving judges, rather than qualified public servants, a blank check to toss out protections like net neutrality, environmental safeguards, or food safety standards.

When Trump’s FCC repealed net neutrality back in 2017, they gave big corporations total control over our Internet – putting free and open access at risk.

Internet providers responded by exploiting their newfound power to speed up certain websites, and slow down – or even block – others. They failed to provide crucial Internet infrastructure in rural areas, low-income communities, and communities of color. They even slashed firefighters’ Internet access during severe wildfires.

But over 126,000 people spoke out and we were able to reinstate net neutrality – until now.

The time has come again to take action: please sign this petition from Common Cause so we can reinstate net neutrality.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

Gazan Artist Donation Dive Part 3

Our next Gazan artist is my dear friend Fadi Thabet, an international award winning photographer. He is known for his street photography, a way for him to express his passion for photography while documenting the everyday life of Gaza. He captures faces in a unique way to highlight beauty amongst the hardship and the unexpected.

Check out his art through photography in a song that I wrote. All what you see in the background are Fadi's photographs.

Fadi lost his home in Gaza and many of his family and friends, he lost count of the times he was displaced in this genocide.

Please show him your support and love through this 5 day campaign. We are hoping to send him $1000 to help with his suffering and above all, to show Fadi that we see him and appreciate his art and talent.

Until when?

Lyrics by Mariam Alammuri, Photography by Fadi Thabet, Performance by Abdelfatah Owainat, Music by Avo Aram

Until when will the darkness haunt me? How long in fear will I wake up or sleep? How long, O universe, will I wait for peace?

"A safe world is a better one. and a beautiful life is marked with a smile"

My holiday is passing and I crave the sweetest singing

High on the wing of a dream I embrace the sky

What did I do and what sin did I commit

to wake up from my dream to the color of blood

I am your child, by God, extend a hand to me

All I hope for is to live tomorrow

In love, in joys, in safety, together..

I beg of you, do not let my pleading voice echo back at me

Hey guys!

I know we are helping with families in Palestine, but can we PLEASE give Sudan the same energy for a few second?

Many people are displaced, starving, and trying to escape the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) by evacuating to neighbouring countries or overseas.

(If you do not know what is happening in Sudan, click here.)

I want to bring your attention to four (4) fundraisers. Three of them are from Tumblr users! I also have donated to these campaigns, so please consider doing the same! It will help them so much!

URGENT: Eman Abdelrahman (CHF26,218 / CHF38,475).

@emooz-8 | Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.

This is the link to her extended family's fundraiser!

She and her family are in IMMEDIATE DANGER! The RSF is closing in her location. They can harm her and her family at any time! Eman needs to evacuate NOW!

Sajida's five (5) families (£7,062 / £30,000).

@niqabisinparis | Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.

This fundraiser is for Sajida's extended family.

They have been displaced from Khartoum for more than a year now and reside in a makeshift home in the scorching hot desert with no A/C and no windows. The temperature can go up 52°C (122°F)! (This is mentioned in their fundraiser).

The last update is that they have received their passports!

Randa and her family (€20,067 / €35,000).

@rnd8

Randa is in Rwanda so the campaign is to reunite her with her six family members! She has posted an update on June 26th, almost three weeks ago:

Her family has their visa rejected when they entered Rwanda, so they are staying in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but only temporarily. They have to borrow money to cover the high cost of living as well as issue new visas for Rwanda. (This is mentioned in her fundraiser).

Elaf Babiker ($18,570 USD / $35,000).

Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.

Elaf is a medical student in her final year as well as the eldest daughter. She wants to evacuate to Rwanda.

Last update: July 25th!

The RSF has claimed more terrority and closed more borders. It will be much more difficult to leave Sudan via ground transportation. So the best option is to take a flight from Port Sudan to Ethiopia and then she and her family will be Rwanda.

My donation to Elaf's fundraiser is not in the donation match's post. So here is a screenshot.

Thank you for making it this far! I didn't mean to make this long. I try to condense it as much as I can! Either way, please have a look and match!

When people call from charities asking for donations or for me to increase my monthly contribution, I get high off the change in their mood when I can say yes. They always sound tired and hopeless while trying to hide it at the beginning and then they're so energized and I can hear the smile in their voice. It's like "fuck yeah, I did that." I have no idea what the success rate is for those calls, presumably low, I might've just made someone's whole day and helped a good cause at the same time.

Fuck altruism purists. I say it's right and good to feel good about doing good.

P.S. join me and donate to a Native charity this Thanksgiving.
