Because someone is on the ball, Turner Classic is playing (among other WWII films) The Great Dictator today.

If you haven't seen it, please do. It was produced by Charlie Chaplin in the late 1930s, when it became clear that the war was going to happen, and came out in 1940 after it had started. Essentially, Chaplin realized that his famous mustache was about to be usurped forever by a fascist, and that fascist was going to kill a lot more people in the future than he had already.

It's a parody, made before the worst horrors of the Nazi regime were known to the general public, so there is discomfort here (if you've seen Disney's Der Fuhrer's Face, you'll get the idea), but the movie ends with Chaplin essentially saying "fuck it, no one else seems to be speaking out about this and I'm going to use my platform to do that."

For context, this character is a Jew who has been mistaken for the dictator (for obvious mustache-related reasons), and has been sent onstage at a rally to give a speech. Instead of trying to impersonate Hitler, he says what he really thinks. And keep in mind, Chaplin was coming out of semi-retirement for this. It was the first time most people had ever heard him speak, and this is what he said:

Hi 👋, My name is Rawan. I'm an engineering student, a devoted daughter, the sister of 2 beautiful girls, the youngest of which is my princess Soso who is 4 years old, as well as the sister of three boys and a special daughter to my father, mother and grandmother. I am not a number waiting for my turn!!

I live in northern Gaza in the heart of genocide, and I work tirelessly to amplify my voice to the world through my artwork.

I walk long distances to access electricity and internet, and I try under harsh conditions to ensure my voice reaches the Tumblr community through my friend's art in order to save 10 people from my family by providing them with supplies, healthcare, food, drink, medicine and rent after we lost everything.

I hope you will support me to continue to survive and ensure the safety of my family.

Please Don’t Turn Blind Eye To Our lives, Our Hope Begins with You

Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to destruction, fear, and instability, starvation, thirst, and poverty.

Since 471 days until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking.

After a long and tiring effort, my Tumblr account @olasfamily has been disabled, and I have to start over. I feel sad and lost, but I don’t want to face this journey alone. I kindly ask you to share and support us; every donation and every share means a lot to me in this difficult time. Please don’t leave me to face this challenge on my own.

I am writing to you as we struggle through very difficult conditions with winter approaching. The cold is becoming harsher by the day, and we lack the warm clothing needed to endure this freezing weather. We cannot afford to buy new clothes due to the steep rise in prices, and most of what we have is old and worn out.

We are longing to rebuild our shattered lives, and I can't do it without you. I need your support to complete my education and help my family rise from the ruins and find hope again.

You mean the world to us, now more than ever. Please, don’t let us down 💔

Please share and donate 🙏💔

Do you normally skip Gazan campaigns? Yes? Will pictures of an adorable baby get you to donate and share, then?

Noor Al-Anqar was born 5 months before Israel started their latest genocidal assault on Gaza. All she knows is war. Her first words were said in war, her first steps were taken in war. The world around her as she knows it exists like this. She is 19 months old, and in the picture above, she is helping carry the water jugs that help her family survive. How is this fair!?!

We do not know how long this ceasefire will last with the current governments. It is up to you, YES YOU, to raise the money so this child can escape Gaza. She is not receiving adequate nutrition, education, or enrichment in these CRUCIAL years of her development. If the ceasefire is broken, the chance of crossing the Rafah border will likely go away again—so while there are no bombs raining down around this baby, let’s raise the money to get her and her family (consisting of five other children under the age of 10!!) out of Gaza!!!!!

$12,145/$20,000

What is israel?

A ceasefire is announced it strikes people celebrating then moves from the genocide in Gaza to an offensive in Jenin, releases 90 hostages and takes 60 instead.

The next few weeks are going to be hard for many of us in the US. The new regime is going to come out of the gate in full attack mode. The LGBTQ community, people of color, immigrants, women, the poor and even our (already broken) health industry are going to be targeted.

This is an attempt to exhaust us with a game of civil rights whack-a-mole, and there is no doubt that some of us are going to feel absolutely wrecked every time we look at the news.

Here is my advice on surviving the next four years

Limit your exposure to the news, it's fine to check the headlines, but

Order a big roll of postcard stamps from the USPS and buy some cheap, blank, postcards.

Sending physical mail can be more effective than signing online petitions, and it has the added benefit of getting you away from the computer. I personally prefer writing postcards because it feels more like I am taking tangible, physical action.

If you are especially organized, you can pre-print address labels for your representatives. I am 100% not that organized.

The ACLU has a guide on what to say here: https://www.aclu.org/writing-your-elected-representatives

Most importantly, don't fall into despair. You are not alone in this, there are millions of us out here who want to see a kinder world.

We've got your back.

so the tiktok ban was literally just propaganda for the trump administration. like. we all agree with that right. this is just laughably transparent. the ban wasn't even 24 hours. not even a whole day. to quote my infinitely funnier mutual from Discord, "Misha Collins was bisexual longer than TikTok was banned"

[jared-the-fool]

imagine if when people mentioned the netherlands people listed every colony, genocide, mass murder and warcrime the netherlands committed. that's kinda how people talk about china but tbh we should start doing that with european countries instead

@samiraaymaan A pregnant mother of four, facing malnutrition and asthma, has been displaced several times and is fighting to ensure the safety of herself and her children. Her campaign launched on June 22nd and has received minimal donations. Please support Samira and her family to help them survive and secure the funds necessary for evacuation as soon as the borders reopen.

Oh I'm sure this means nothing

I can't believe my family survived the genocide, thank God.

Anyway, we lost my brother in a previous war. The Palestinian always pays sacrifices in order to stay on his land.

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …
