500 people killed in a single day of bombing. Strikes on over 1000 locations. This is truly death cult spiraling, suicidal mass shooter as geopolitical actor, what if a family annihilator was a state, purest most sinister racist nihilism

Friends, I am a descendant of refugees on both sides of my family. They narrowly escaped genocide & then survived & thrived by the kindness of strangers. My Yaqui grandmother who raised me fled the Mexican Revolution. On both sides of the road were people hanging from trees. Dead women & contd.
So what would you be doing if there was a genocide? You'd be doing what you are doing right now. Because there are many genocides going on right now. It may be an interruption to what you are doing to see so many GoFundMe requests for funds. But a few dollars from you can make a huge difference.
This genocide continues in the form of violent inequities & injustice that prevents us from living our lives with self determination & with cultural integrity Some of us have not been allowed to thrive. Because of racism, xenophobia & land theft. Those of us who are not White have not fared as well

After trialling bridgy for a few days, I've deleted my Mastodon > Bluesky bridge. It's pretty much useless... unless you're into pumping out content/shouting into the void, and don't want to actually communicate with people or build relationships. Social media bridges and mirrors 🚮
