Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.
This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.
Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!
ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.
This only takes a few minutes!

Video transcript:
Did you know that Native Americans were directly mentioned by one of the founding fathers of zionism? In his 1923 essay* The Iron Wall, Ze'ev Jabotinsky argued that the only way to successfully colonize Palestine was through brute military force. He referenced what happened to indigenous people here in the americas as an example. He writes, “my readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries.
“The native populations, civilised or uncivilised, have always stubbornly resisted the colonists, irrespective of whether they were civilised or savage. And it made no difference whatever whether the colonists behaved decently or not.
“the Pilgrim Fathers, the first real pioneers of North America, were people of the highest morality, who did not want to do harm to anyone, least of all to the Red Indians, and they honestly believed that there was room enough in the prairies both for the Paleface and the Redskin. Yet the native population fought with the same ferocity against the good colonists as against the bad.
“This is equality true of the arabs.
“We may tell them whatever we like about the innocence of our aims, watering them down and sweetening them with honeyed words to make them palatable, but they know what we want, as well as we know what they do not want. They feel at least the same instinctive jealous love of Palestine, as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico , and their Sioux for their rolling Prairies.”
The one thing I wanna point out is that in 1923, one of the founding fathers of zionism is labeling himself and the project of Israel as colonizers. He is referring to Palestinians as the natives of the area, comparing them to the indigenous people of the Americas. He also is glorifying the pilgrim fathers of the Americas, painting them as absolute saints and basically applauding how effectively they were able to slaughter and murder us and steal our land. So I genuinely want to know how is a movement going to go from applauding and fawning over our murderers to suddenly wanting to steal our identities and claim indigeneity to the area in order to more effectively carry out the same levels of violence and genocide that happened here. Unfortunately for them Palestinians and Native Americans are similar in many ways, including our resilience and our fighting spirit. Despite every genocidal act that the ‘wholesome’ pilgrim fathers committed over the past 500 years; natives are still here, our languages are still here, our cultures are still here, we still have our identity and if we can survive that long of fierce brutal colonisation, I know that Palestinians will do the same. I highly encourage all of you to look up the essay The Iron Wall, thoroughly read it so you can fully understand how deep this history goes and you can see the parallels for what they truly are: blatantly obvious. And to my fellow natives on here, educate yourself on this so that you can educate your family, your friends, your tribal leadership. We need to boldly and loudly push back against this weaponization and bastardization of what it means to be indigenous, especially with the opening of the “indigenous embassy” in Jerusalem on February 4th. The embassy’s goal is to quote “change anti-israel narrative among native peoples.” They’re realizing that indigenous solidarity with Palestine worldwide is becoming a problem, and they’re trying so hard to undermine that. Do not let them appeal to and use our own people in order to do that because as Ze'ev Jabotinsky himself said, the Palestinian struggle and the Native American struggle are parallel and intertwined. And it doesn’t matter how many embassies are opened, how many bribes are given, how much propaganda is spewed. You can not erase that bond between Palestinians and indigenous people.
Transcript end.

🆘🆘SToP Don't Skip
A small donation can make a big difference 🙏🍉🇵🇸
Dear beloved friends, My name is Mahmoud Alkhaldi. I am a Palestinian refugee living with my fiancée and family in a catastrophic situation-in tents- in Rafah. However, for 116+ days, me and my family have been under intense bombing and warplanes rockets in the Gaza strip. I’m asking funds to evacuate (5) members of my family from Gaza to a safe place in Egypt, including my younger brother (Mohammed, his wife, and his 1 and half year son Yasser), and me and my fiancée Sujood). It could be very expensive and costly to evacuate a war zone at a miserable time like this. We will need approximately $50000 and a lot of prayers
My home was cozy, beautiful, and warm before the war. Here is some pictures for our house before the war
Our home was targeted in a tank bombing on the 25th of November 2023 that left it unlivable, along with the entire neighborhood of Al-Burij refugee camp, in Gaza City.
When we returned back to our home to get some needed itemsand clothes, we found that Israeli soldiers also steal our belongings. Since that day, my family has been sleeping in a miserable tent in Rafah, in the south of Gaza, which has become a home for all people from the Gaza strip, whose homes were also destroyed by airstrikes, but they have survived thus far.
I can't express how useless and depressed we felt after finding out what they'd been through and are currently going through. Each moment, we worry about losing them. Without connection settings, we cannot constantly contact them. During the moment of typing, over 25,0000 individuals have been killed in Gaza. They are without electrical power or heating for a period of three months, food is limited, and their drinking water is unsafe for human consumption. My family's only hope is to evacuate to to a safer place out of Gaza. My family went through the loss of several friends, and many of them have lost their spouses and children. I am afraid of losing my family. They are the light that leads me through my life. I cannot live or survive without them.
The expenses of travel for 5 people are as follows:
• $50000 for the boarding pass (Egyptian coordination) to pass Rafah border, 10000$ for each person.
We are need your help and support in raising $50000 to transport them from Gaza to Egypt. Once the cash are put in the US bank account, they will be deposited to my family's bank account. He intended to utilize the funds to cover the costs of going to Egypt as soon as feasibl

btw i cannot speak for every person but in general i can say with confidence that people fundraising likely do not give a fuckkkkkk what else you post about. i’ve never seen this addressed but i wonder if some bloggers here think they can’t put their heart behind a fundraiser because of the other content they log on for. i promise it does not matter. yeah i do sometimes chuckle when i see dykepenis666falloutboy or whatever type gay person url in a fundraiser post but it just super fucking does not matter. like it is not a transgression to champion human life while also being a human person who’s annoying or horny or whatever but it is actually cowardly and presumptuous to pretend your content is the thing preventing you from doing more for people in desperate circumstances begging you for your help

US-backed Israeli quadcopters would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in Gaza to “pick off” and “shoot” injured civilians, including children.
Acclaimed British surgeon Nizam Mamode, who recently returned from a period of working at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, testified in front of the UK Parliament on the current state of healthcare in Gaza.
This was incredibly hard to listen to.

@danashehab has been fundraising since may and is just over €15,000 away from their goal l. as stated in the screenshot people are starting to believe the rafah crossing will open so it’s important to make sure everyone has the funds in case they are allowed to evacuate.
thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab
EDIT AUG 24:
The family has had to raise their goal to cover their extended family’s evacuation fees since they are unable to make a new GFM.
The new goal is €85,000.

Hello,I am Ahmed Al-Dani
A 14-year-old Palestinian boy living in Gaza, where I was born amid the pain of ongoing conflicts.
In 2008, while my mother was pregnant with me, a phosphorous bomb fell near our home, and my mother inhaled the toxic gas.
This exposure affected my health, causing genetic deformities that impacted the growth of my teeth and hair. I grew up with the pain of a different appearance and daily struggles.
My family has tried to support me with all their strength, but all doors are closed. Doctors recommended dental implants as a solution to ease my suffering, but each implant costs about a thousand dollars, an amount far beyond our means, especially since we live in constant instability.
Over the past ten months, my family has been displaced more than seven times. We currently live in the southern part of Gaza, with no source of income, relying only on a few savings that were meant for my treatment. But life is challenging; my grandmother, who is over seventy, suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes and needs constant care.
My uncle is also completely paralyzed, living in a wheelchair, and requires special medical care.
Today, I am sharing my story with a heart longing for your help and support. The only treatment I need is outside of Gaza, where the care I lack here is available.
The travel cost for one person is $5,000, and my family needs $50,000 to cover the expenses of leaving the sector and arranging my medical treatment. This amount may seem large, but it represents my hope and chance to live a normal, healthy life.
My number on the list has been verified by @gazavetters (#198)
Thank you for your generosity and for helping me get a chance at a new life. ❤️❤️
I hope everyone will help me😭
