So russian and belarusian athletes are banned from competing under their countries' flag for the war in Ukraine but Isreali athletes are still allowed to compete under Isreali's flag despite Isreal's genocide being 4 times as deadly as the Ukrainian invasion?? Fuck Isreal. Fuck Russia. Fuck the Olympic Committee. Free Palestine. Free Ukraine.

PALESTINIAN FAMILY FORCED TO RESTART FUNDRAISING - PLEASE DONATE!

PROGRESS: £520 / £35,000

a little while ago, I was contacted by Amal Abushaban, a Palestinian mother of 5, for help regarding her Gofundme campaign.

In summary, after spending months raising over $13,000 for her family, she attempted to withdraw the money. She did everything right, she answered Gofundme's questions, she provided the details of her beneficiary and she contacted their support team - only to be left in the dark until an email came one day, notifying her that her campaign had been closed and all donations were now in the process of being refunded.

I tried kicking up a major fuss about it online, as well as trying to pester Gofundme Support on my own account, but all it did was send me in circles as I desperately pleaded for the Gofundme Support person I was assigned to at least re-instate the damn fund. Even worse, Amal got her first email today about refunds going through.

Regrettably, Amal is being forced to start over completely in her fundraising efforts. Her beneficiary has started this Paypal fund for her. Please donate and share!

PROGRESS: £520 / £35,000

holodomor denial is genocide denial. the systematic starvation of an entire people is not something for you to debate on the internet with your lenin pfp and your xi jinping header while you sit in your warm safe home with a full stomach and plentiful access to food. the generational epigenetic trauma that is irrevocably coded into modern ukrainians’ dna after the scale of manufactured starvation that their families experienced is not a ‘narrative’ or a ‘lie’, it’s proof of an atrocity that you’re continuing by denying its existence.

despise the west all you want but do not sit back and enjoy the comforts it gives you while handwaving the experiences of millions of ukrainians. there’s plenty of propaganda out there for you to be mad about. there’s plenty of it on your own fucking blogs. you don’t need to start shitting on the graves of my family’s dead ancestors.

I've not seen a single person (other than my friend who has ties to Ukraine) talk about the fact Russia fucking killed 51 Ukrainians in an airstrike today (number from BBC) along with injuring 271 others. The airstrike also partially hit a hospital. Did it trend on Tumblr? No. Did a single person acknowledge Russia is literally an imperialist state with expansionist tendancies? No.

The war in Ukraine and attempted annihilation of Ukraine by Russia is still happening and once again the world (especially self proclaimed anti-war and anti-racists) are silent. It shouldn't be like this. I hate that people are not anti war when it doesn't make them look morally superior and hide their bigoted tendancies.

No Jews, No News.

The add includes the line “Let’s clean ourselves of compulsory Ukrainian Nazism” (not my translation) and links having a Ukrainian name to nazism. And yet people are still debating on Ruzzia’s intent for this war and what they mean by “denazification” (hint: it has nothing to do with nazis)

Ukrainian cities. once these streets were bustling, filled with joyful voices and sounds of car horns, people were preparing for the holidays, decorating their homes and Christmas trees, giving each other gifts and wishing for dreams to come true. gathering with entire families to celebrate.

today these cities look as if nothing ever existed here, only solid ruins and ghosts of a past life. russia destroyed everything. dismantled the memory of entire generations brick by brick with daily shelling. took away a happy future from many families.

My mother's first home was a refugee camp. Her mother was sold on a Nazi slave market.

I have dead relatives on Ukrainian battlefields. We can't get them back because russia has colonised the regions.

One relative was taken hostage by the bastard russians and tortured for 2.5 years.

The word "slave" actually means "Slavic person". The word "genocide" was invented in Lviv.

An Amnesty International guy chased my mother through a shopping mall, yelling at her that she was a "stupid white woman who wouldn't know what a refugee is".

Ukrainians aren't allowed to talk about the racism we get every single fucking day because we're "too white".

Popular Christmas song "Carol of the Bells" is based on a Ukrainian song called "Shchedryk" and was originally arranged by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. In 1921 undercover soviet state agent asked to stay the night at composer's' family home. In the morning he killed Mykola Leontovych and robbed his family.

"Shchedryk" was created while Mykola Leontovych was staying in Pokrovsk, city the russians are desperately trying to capture and are turning into ruins right now:

Tomorrow is gonna be the second anniversary of the invasion ruzzia launched against Ukraine, and the tenth anniversary of ruzzian aggression since 2014

Please, support us, keep talking about us, we are still being attacked and killed everyday

Make sure to donate to Come Back Alive, to Serhii Prytula, to any Ukrainian creative to keep us all afloat

War and genocide isn't a trend for social media, those are not some silly things for people to talk about and then forget once it's not "popular" anymore, those are actual atrocities that shouldn't even be a thing in the 21st century

it genuinely pisses me off that ukraine has to resort to pointing at its civilian death count to garner sympathy and action from the world.

can you even imagine how many of our soldiers have laid down their lives to push russia back? for some reason, there is this belief that soldiers’ lives do not matter once they become combatants, yet before they took up the role they were ordinary civilians just like the rest of us. they were teachers, bakers, students. they had peaceful lives, they have families, and they just want ukraine to be safe and at peace so that they may return to those lives.

they matter, they count towards our death toll, yet people see news of our soldiers passing and dont even spare a second glance. they are ukrainians too, they matter. with every day that russia invades us, ukrainians are dying, whether they are civilians or not.

This is what Vovchansk looks like now, in the Kharkiv region, which is under constant Russian fire

Since the beginning of the year, more than 700 libraries have been destroyed or damaged in Ukraine.

Russia struck Ukraine’s major printing press, Faktor-Druk in Kharkiv, killing at least 5 employees among the 7 dead & 20 injured. Kharkiv is the heart of Ukraine’s publishing industry. This attack on culture underscores the genocidal nature of Russia’s war. Factor-print was bombed exactly one week before the Book Arsenal (book festival), just when dozens of publishing novelties were being rushed to print. The bombing was aimed at preventing these books from being published, at preventing Ukrainians from having book fairs - for a quarter of a century, the Russians had managed to silence them using other methods, and now that they have started to find their feet, they are using bombs and missiles. And all for the sake of the "great Russian culture". Forcing people to read this literature because of the absence of destroyed Ukrainian literature. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the Vivat publishing house (the bookshop belongs to them).
