WITH LOVE AND CARE, WE SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON RAMI’S FAMILY, WHO ARE ENDURING DIRE HUMANITARIAN CONDITIONS AND ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF OUR SUPPORT.

Rami’s family (@/rami-ajr91), originally residing in northern Gaza, has been forced to flee multiple times due to war and destruction, eventually settling in a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah. They now live in cold tents that lack the basic necessities of a dignified life—no electricity, no clean water, and no proper sanitation facilities, let alone healthy food.

They are compelled to cook on open fires, using plastic for fuel due to the high cost of firewood, further exacerbating their daily struggles.

Amid these harsh conditions, the family has a four-year-old child who has been ill since birth. The child requires special care and daily medication, but he still cannot speak and is dependent on diapers.

The war not only destroyed their home but also took away their livelihood, as they lost the small shop that once supported the family.

Their dream is simple, yet profound: to save their child’s life and restore stability to their family. They are now in urgent need of our collective support, and we can be part of realizing this dream.

Do not leave them to face this hardship alone. They deserve all the solidarity and assistance we can provide.

a friend just tipped me off about Fund a Kitchen in Gaza, a free tool that helps you locate and donate to community kitchens currently serving some of Gaza's most vulnerable!

this lets you choose a region (south, central, north) and see which kitchens operate in that area, then donate to as many as you can.

as a reminder, community kitchens try to buy and cook in bulk, which makes ingredients last longer & sustain more people in the conditions of extreme scarcity that Israel is imposing right now. they are also able to serve people on the ground who may not have the means to reach out online.

so, whether through this tool or not, please do support community kitchens, as well as mutual aid groups that cover additional needs, such as the Sameer Project (meals, tents, cash aid, medical aid) and Dahnoun Mutual Aid (meals, tents, baby supplies, cash aid, winter clothes).

"The Party for Socialism and Liberation’s party program begins by stating the right of self-determination for all 'oppressed groups.' This effectively means nothing, so let us pass on to the meat of the document.

The existing colonial relationships of the United States will be dissolved. Independence will be immediately granted to Puerto Rico with full reparations for colonial exploitation, and the right of free travel between the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Mariana Islands will be free to exercise their right to self-determination, up to and including independence, with reparations and the right to free travel between the former colonies and the U.S. mainland. Restitution, including the return of land stolen, will be provided for Native Nations. Further, the socialist government will reaffirm the right of Native Nations to self-determination, up to and including independence.

[Party for Socialism and Liberation Third Party Congress (2016 : San Francisco, California). Program for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, 2016. Web. 29 Dec. 2018.]

'Colonial relationships' in this sense means territorial formulations of the US that are not the 50 states. It is important to recognize that the US has hundreds of colonial relationships within the borders of its fifty states, but it is clear that the PSL does not view the situation as such. Puerto Rico is the only nation which, for unspecified reasons, is granted independence without restraints. The clear reason for this is the fact that only around 1% of Puerto Rico’s population is 'not Hispanic or Latino' (US Census Bureau). The rest of the islands included in the program are also minority white to a large degree (either having large Indigenous or arrivant populations). PSL demonstrates that it allies itself with the settler-colonial and white supremacist definition of the United States as that territory where whites either make up the majority or majority minority population. For PSL it is important to automatically ensure the independence of non-white states, but independence is not surrendered to those nations which settlers have occupied to a large degree. PSL attempts to put roadblocks in the way of Indigenous independence, upholding the white state. Let’s take a look at these roadblocks.

In regards to 'Native Nations,' things become incredibly confusing. The program says that the return of stolen land will be provided for Native Nations. As we know, all the land on which the United States sits is stolen, and considering the fact that the program in its entirety pushes for a US Workers’ State, we can consider a true return of stolen land to be null and void. To surrender the land means to destroy any version of the United States, whether a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or proletariat. The word 'further' in the next sentence and the proclamation of the possibility of independence for Native Nations makes things even more confusing than they already were. It would seem that the program would like 'further' to indicate even stronger steps towards independence, but what it actually indicates is steps backwards. We are told that land will be returned in the previous sentence, but then told that independence isn’t assured, as the Workers’ State has the final say in our independence. How does the Workers’ State have the final say? The program specifies the 'right of Native Nations to self-determination.' Rights are something that are given and upheld by some entity. It is the Workers’ State that gives us the right to affirm independence, which means that it can also take it away. The Workers’ State has all of the power. Due to the alignment with settler-colonial definitions of the US, the weakness of language, and the lack of specificity, I think that the only reasonable thing to discern from this program is that the return of land would be through a reservation system. The PSL looks to uphold a US Workers’ State, therefore it is necessary to have some system of reservations.

Most other communist parties, organizations, or groups uphold a similar line no matter the tendency."

Come on guys, that's only 39,000. I'm not asking for much.

you gotta stop showing support for Luigi in a way that implicitly frames him as the perpetrator. you can show support for Luigi as a man and as a suspect who is innocent unless proven guilty, and you can show support for the Claims Adjuster and what they did WITHOUT saying it was luigi, cos that only hurts his case. they can both be heroes, the adjuster for the message they sent and the fear they've struck into the American oligarchy, and Luigi for being an innocent man unjustly paraded as an example of the punishment we face when we step out of line. I hope Luigi is exonerated and freed, and i hope the claims adjuster is still out there having made a clean getaway

If you follow me, most of you know Ibrahim @wolf-aid ! He's amazing and had been through so much unimaginable pain this past year in gaza. Yet he remains persistent and so kind.

Recently, he made a post to help raise money for a hospice providing food to displaced Palestinians, and it's done very well! People have been sharing and donating gladly, which is incredible, and we thank you all for doing so from the bottom of our hearts. However, Ibrahim has been raising money for his own family independently of that campaign and donations have been rather slow lately!

Ibrahim is a little brother to me, i love him dearly and i can't stop thinking about how much he is going through this holiday season. As you celebrate christmas, hanukkah, and new year's, please consider sending a bit of money my brother's way. Your support makes him very very happy and gives him much needed hope for the future.

€36,592 raised of €50,000

thank you so much!!!
