Trump and Netanyahu spent a Washington photo op arguing over who is israel's "number one friend." The same week, israeli jets destroyed a mosque and displacement tents in Gaza City, killing one Palestinian and wounding a dozen more, under a ceasefire both men call a diplomatic win. The people living under that same imperial weight are named and reachable in this week's list below. Give directly.
Khamenei is dead; the war and the regime are not. Nine nights of US strikes, a resistance movement forced to build legitimacy under foreign bombs, empire acted by design and with precision. None of it feeds anyone this week. Below sits the mutual aid roundup. Redistribute what can be spared, share and boost every request far and wide instead, since amplification asks nothing but a moment.
Sixty-five percent of Gaza is now inside what the UN calls access-restricted areas, expanded steadily since the so-called ceasefire took effect in October. The killing hasn’t stopped, it’s only been rezoned. Below: this week’s Mutual Aid Requests Roundup, the Palestinian…
Sixty-five percent of Gaza is now inside what the UN calls access-restricted areas, expanded steadily since the so-called ceasefire took effect in October. The killing hasn't stopped, it's only been rezoned. Below: this week's Mutual Aid Requests Roundup, the Palestinian Campaign Spotlight, and the Gaza Verified Archive. Open them. Give directly where you can. Share what you can't fund.
If you only track wars by whether missiles are in the air, you'll miss most of what empire does for a living. In this week's article: the Iran strikes, the sanctions, and mutual aid requests from people absorbing the same extraction.
A white woman in Texas told two Muslim women they didn't belong in her Christian country. What Christian? What country? Why should the marginalised convince anyone who wants them harmed that they're peaceful and harmless? This week is charged with end-of-the-month distress on top of regular dehumanisation in the colonised lands. Give what you can, share these requests further than my feed can reach
My people are on the streets again in Indonesia. Everywhere the state decides certain people's survival is not a priority, the same infrastructure gap opens. The only thing that fills it is people deciding to fill it for each other. The full list is at the link. Some requests are urgent, some are overdue, and all of them need movement. Show up however possible, financially or by amplifying so someone who can give financially finds the request. Both matter.
Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can.
They found my profile, saw the survival request, and decided that settled it. The visible need was always the weapon. Below are people whose visible need I am asking you to meet, or carry further than my feed can reach.
I’ve listed mutual aid requests from this week’s checkpoint that need urgent support: rent, food, medicine, utilities, and everything else that enables people to live with dignity. Please read through, support directly, share requests that still need movement, or boost this post far and wide so they can move beyond one feed and reach people who can help.
Again, this is a roundup of the first 10 requests shared under the previous Friday mutual aid checkpoint on my main profile, @wrzky@kolektiva.social
Give directly if possible, boost each request and this post, and see you next week.
