Who would have thought that years spent dismantling workers' rights, trade unions and welfare, and advocating for the wildest neoliberal dystopia instead, would have ended up with billionaires expecting people to work 72 hours a week? @npub16qlh...lg83 @npub1347c...y53u
A quick heads up to the #GazaVerified donors: the [Chuffed campaign](https://chuffed.org/project/117360-help-the-gaza-camp-kids-achieve-brighter-futures) that supported Mai (@npub15rtc...qdnc) has apparently been taken down by #Chuffed with no notice. While we try and get an explanation from #Chuffed (and why they take down verified campaigns while leaving [scam campaigns like this]() online for months despite the reports), Mai desperately needs funding for her, for her family of 10 and for the 20 kids that she supports daily. I would usually advise our friends from Gaza to use Chuffed/GFM campaigns over private donations for reasons of transparency/traceability, but circumstances are quite extraordinary in this case, so please donate to [her PayPal account]() while we try and either get her Chuffed campaign restored or create a new one.

In an effort towards being both fair towards our friends in #Gaza and reduce the notifications/FOMO burden on donors, I have released two new bots for #GazaVerified: - @gaza_verified_accounts@mastodon.social boosts all the posts from gaza-verified accounts. If you want to follow the stories of the families that we're supporting but you don't want to individually follow >70 accounts, you can follow this bot. It's hooked directly to the [Gaza archive]() crawlers and it refreshes every 5 minutes. - @gaza_verified_campaigns@mastodon.social posts twice a day a list of accounts that made <$200 in the past 7 days. You can follow this account to get an idea of where to focus the donation efforts. If you're a volunteer who also hosts a copy of the Gaza Archive, and you also want to run your copies of the bots, you can add them to your instance by [enabling the new environment variables](). As usual, [the source code is open](). We're in this together ❀️ @npub1p095...m5vl @npub1nv8q...za59 @npub1fm29...u496 @npub1q654...ykwz
Take all the most abhorrent, sadistic, selfish and sociopathic features that come to your mind, squeeze them all inside of the same unholy obelisk of flesh, and you get Ben Gvir. Israel is a terrorist State, and Ben Gvir is the living incarnation of terrorism.
I don't want gifts for my birthday today. I already have any material thing that I may ever want. The biggest gift you can give is to pick 1-2 accounts from [the Gaza campaigns dashboard]() who are struggling with flooded or damaged tents and are not receiving enough money, and donate to them what you'd use to buy me a present.
