As we approach the end of 2024 and welcome a new year, 2025, and with the arrival of Christmas, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a joyful Christmas Eve filled with love and peace. May your holidays be beautiful, warm, and full of happiness.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported and contributed to me and my family during this time. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to raise €64,263, and this achievement is all thanks to you, my dear friends. However, we still have some way to go to reach our goal; we still need €35.737 to achieve it.

I kindly ask you to take a moment and consider donating again to support a Palestinian family in need. Let us work together to reach €70,000 before the end of the year. Remember, every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant impact and holds great value in helping us improve our lives during these challenging times.

Thank you for everything you have done, and happy holidays to you all!

In Norway we celebrate christmas eve more than christmas day, so today is christmas for me. I’m writing this before our christmas dinner. I want to say it has been a good but tough year, and today I’m thinking of my friends in Gaza. It has been an honor and a gift to be allowed to help and be in contact with them, but terrifying to hear their stories and know how much danger they face every day. For the new year, I wish them safety and peace, and I hope that whatever holiday you celebrate, you can be willing to help them this year. That is my wish

I’m sharing their fundraiser again in the hopes that you can show them some love and support

Nader @abdalsalam1990, my friend who i’ve known the longest, a 17 year old who campaigns daily to save his family including his father who is sick with cancer and his 1 year old niece. His strength, kindness and hard work to provide for his family impresses me every day. (Vetted #4)

Ibrahim @wolf-aid A 15 year old boy with hopes and dreams of continuing his education, but now has to struggle to survive every day so that he can get his family to safety and achieve his dreams (Vetted #25)

Ahed @ahedfamily A 33 year old father of three young daughters under ten, who loves his daughters so much and spends all his time trying to get them to safety and get his daughter medical treatment she needs. He has a kind heart and helps other people, even when he needs help so badly too (Vetted #229)

Ghada @ghadaanqar A 32 year old man with a bachelors degree and a great job and a promising future, whose career was taken from him by the bombings. He provides for many other people, despite this. (Vetted #6)

Hani @haniyassersposts Hani is a young palestinian with a degree in social work and dreams of helping others and making a difference in his community. He has always shown me kindness and hope, even in his horrible circumstances. (Vetted #5)

I hope you will share this post and donate to help them, they really need and deserve help

On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

sucks that "incel" is just like a generic insult now synonymous with "virgin" bc if people had much of an idea of what incel ideology actually entails, we could have a conversation about radical feminism being quite literally, beat for beat, incel shit for girls

While the world celebrates the new year with lights, joy, and warmth, we in Gaza are trapped in darkness and terror. No decorations, no festivities—only the deafening roar of planes and bombings shattering the silence of our nights.

In fragile tents and broken shelters, we fight to survive the biting cold and the devastation that surrounds us. The rain seeps through, the wind cuts deep, and yet, somehow, we cling to hope.

You are our last lifeline—don’t leave us to face this nightmare alone. Your kindness can be the light that breaks through this darkness and the warmth that saves us from despair.

Even a small donation—€5 or €10—could mean food for a child, warmth for a family, or a glimpse of safety in this endless fear.

Please, don’t turn away. Help us. Your support is the only thing standing between us and the abyss

Donate here to save my family and bring a glimmer of hope amidst this darkness

The man literally cannot show up to a memorial for war crime victims because he knows he himself will be arrested for war crimes.

I would call this Black Mirror but Black Mirror is more subtle than this, to be honest.

Today, December 23, the Zionist regime announced the extension of Khalida Jarrar's solitary confinement until January 22, 2025.

Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian human rights activist, feminist, leftist and former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was abducted by the occupation forces on December 26, 2023 and ordered to administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. Since August 12, she has been isolated in inhumane conditions, separated from her fellow Palestinian women prisoners and completely cut off from the world.

For 133 days, Khalida Jarrar has been held in solitary confinement in a very small cell, measuring just 2 by 1.5 meters, where the only available space is occupied by a mattress. The cell also contains a tiny toilet. It is completely enclosed, with no windows for ventilation or fresh air.

In a letter passed on to her lawyer she testified:

“I die every day. The cell is like a small closed box where no air enters. There is only a toilet in the cell with a small window above it, which was later sealed just on day after my transfer. They left me no space to breathe, and even what is called the “ashnav” (peephole) on the cell door was sealed. There is only a small opening where i sit most of the time to breathe. I am suffocating in my cell, waiting for the hours to pass, hoping to find some oxygen particles to breathe and stay alive.”

Khalida Jarrar was imprisoned as punishment for her academic and research work. Shortly before her arrest, she had published a research paper on the conditions of detention in Zionist prisons after October 7, and was due to attend an international colloquium. Her imprisonment is an attack on Palestinian academia and the universal right to education.

This solitary confinement is a deliberate attack on Khalida Jarrar's life and an attack on all Palestinian prisoners. Khalida Jarrar is being targeted because of the model of resistance and fighting spirit she represents for her fellow prisoners. The Zionist regime believes that by distancing resistance leaders from their people, it will succeed in annihilating the resistance.

But the entire people embody the heroic and tireless resistance of the Palestinian people, as shown by Gaza, the steadfast, despite more than a year of genocide.

CHANGES MADE TO THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL DUE TO ELON MUSK'S DEMANDS

- Cut $190 million in research funding for children with cancer.

- Eliminated reforms to pharmaceutical benefit managers that would have cracked down on those who jack up drug prices.

- Cut down syndrome research funding.

- Cut funding for breast cancer early detection.

- Cut funding for treatment of sickle cell disease.

President-elect Musk (and vice president Trump) think that tax cuts for the rich are more important than children’s cancer research, preventative breast cancer research, and sickle cell treatments.

Abdulrahman still needs your support

Last month, Abdulrahman @3bdulra7manosama tried to raise funds for this school year's tuition and other fees so he could continue his medical education. He was not able to raise enough funds needed but was able to find a generous donor who covered the rest.

[Verification: #4 in this post by gaza-evacuation-funds]

He is now using the same GFM to support his family still in Gaza facing genocide and starvation, and need help in meeting their basic needs.

His short-term goal is €5000. The GFM is moving very slowly, with no donations in over 3 days. Please consider donating and please keep supporting this campaign in any way you can.

€3,332 / €5000

It is absolutely so disappointing to see donations for Mohammad Ayesh @ayeshjourney slow down to a trickle.

Let us not forget that he is the one who is helping us keep @gaza-evacuation-funds afloat and it is his hard work everyone is relying on whenever you are making posts about fundraisers and donations on your own blogs and sharing our fundraiser list!

For the past few months, Mohammad has been suffering with excruciating gut pains that are suffocating even. And he's had to take a cocktail of medications to combat the effects of the unsanitary food and water that he and many other Gazans have had no choice but to eat for the last year.

Mohammad has a short term goal of £34,000 which I think we could reach tonight since we are less than £200 away. And I propose we get to £36,000 within this week.

If even half of my followers donated just £1 upon seeing this we could get to and exceed £36,000 tonight. Please make sure you are following @ayeshjourney and supporting him.

WATCH: Protesters in Raleigh dropped off letters at the state legislature Monday denouncing a post-election Republican power grab that seizes powers held by offices that Democrats won in November. Senate Bill 382 was supposed to be a hurricane relief bill for western North Carolina, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene in September. But it mostly contains attacks on the powers held by offices like the governor, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction — which were all won by Democrats in November’s election. It also takes oversight of elections away from the governor’s office. Demonstrators during the “Moral Monday” protest in Raleigh likened it to a “coup,” saying that it undermines the will of the voters. Gov.-elect Josh Stein has condemned the bill. So has outgoing Gov. Roy Cooper and former Gov. Pat McCrory — a Republican. Cooper vetoed the bill, but Republican lawmakers in the House are expected to consider overriding the governor’s veto Wednesday in Raleigh. Stay tuned to @cardinalandpine for updates.
