An unfathomable amount of money

On this year women's day, all we could think about are Palestinian women in Gaza.

Nearly 9,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks in five months. Another 2,100 are missing and presumed dead, while 23,000 have been wounded and over half a million are displaced.

“Palestinian women, especially in the Gaza Strip, are exposed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe,” Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesperson, said on Thursday.

Dozens of women and girls have also been detained and face harsh conditions in Israeli custody, including sexual abuse.

Women in Gaza also struggle to find menstruation products and access the necessary pregnancy and post-natal care. The consequences on reproductive health, including a rise in stress-induced miscarriages, stillbirths and premature births, have increased significantly.

Women in labour are undergoing caesarean procedures without anaesthetics, and a shortage of post-operative care such as medication, antibiotics and pain relief further exacerbates the situation.

According to the health ministry, 5,000 women give birth monthly in Gaza under “harsh, unsafe and unhealthy” conditions caused by Israeli bombing and displacement.

There are 60,000 pregnant women in Gaza suffering from “malnutrition, dehydration and lack of medical care.

There have also been repeated cases of Israeli soldiers mocking Palestinian women by posting videos and pictures of themselves rummaging through personal belongings in Gaza homes, making derogatory comments and posing with women’s underwear.

RETRACTION: Unfortunately, the story about Biden bringing his dog, "Commander", to greet Trump is only wishful thinking on the part of the newspaper editor. —Our apologies.

If we're lucky, it'll get struck down in the Senate, or will reach Biden's desk before Trump is sworn in.

But it's time to batten down the hatches. They'll go after Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and Palestinian (or more generally Islamic) charities first, but anything on the left is in the crosshairs for the incoming administration.

This story is so much stupider than you think it is. When they submitted the insurance claims, they had to provide evidence of the damage. So they submitted a cctv video of, the "bear attack" in progress. It is painfully obvious that it's a person in a bear costume. And the "bear" also did almost no actual damage to the cars. These people will probably spend at least a couple years in prison for the DUMBEST CRIME IMAGINABLE

oh so we're doing scooby doo crimes now

Hey everyone, House just passed H.R 9495 as of 11/21, which is a bill that prevents non-profits for helping with causes such as Palestine and other acts the government deems "terrorism."

The guardian explains why it's a massive problem here.

This could seriously hurt non-profits that are trying to help multiple good causes with the vague terminology they are using to give themselves power to dictate what that means.

They are trying to fast track it while everyone is panicking about the results of the election. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND SAY NO TO H.R. 9495.

If you can't call for any reason, absolutely spread the word and reblog this post.

This is extremely serious and a dangerous bill. We should do what we can to stop it.
