Impulse (1995) #62

Every time I read this makes me want to cry.

Another fundraiser which is in urgent need of your support is that of Hazem Albardawil. The affects of the war on his life have been devastating.

(ID in Alt)

In one horrible, traumatic day in October 2023, Hazem lost everything. He had a pregnant wife and two beautiful sons, Imad and Jad (photographed above), and when Israel bombed their home, they were martyred and he survived but with severe injuries and lasting emotional trauma.

This war has completely devastated the life of this man, and all he wants is to be able to get treatment for his injuries, survive this horrific genocide, and carry on his life in spite of these cruel circumstances that he's been placed in.

He is raising £20,000 but he has less than £500 as of the time I am writing this post. Any help you can give him will go to saving his life.

"don't vote for Harris or you're supporting genocide" "voting blue is still voting for fascists" Then what else do you expect us to do?

Here are some options y'all seem to insist on and why they're fucking stupid:

Vote Third Party :: Until we have ranked-choice voting (and probably even if we did have ranked-choice voting), it is practically impossible to make a 3rd-party candidate viable. There's not enough of the population that's far enough from moderate to give up their "safe" blue vote for some "revolutionary."

Don't Vote At All :: I'd prefer to pick my enemy. If I'm going to be working in spite of the government, or even against it in some ways, I'd rather the people I'm working against not already be targeting me for being queer, for example. If my options are "bad" or "much, much worse" I'm gonna pick "bad" and try to improve things from there.

Violent Revolution :: It's a cosplay power fantasy in the same vein as the Right-wingers looking for a reason to shoot protesters. Assuming you even have enough people organized and enough firepower to pull that off in the first place…have you prepared a plan to keep the innocents alive and safe? Are you sure you can keep supply chains for food and medicines intact? Are you sure there will be resources available for the disabled, the scared, the young and old, those who won't be able to fight and still need to be taken care of? Turns out revolution is ugly and causes a lot of undue collateral damage. Are the lives "saved" really going to outweigh those whose lives will be upended and destroyed? It's not like a newly-toppled, unorganized country will be able to do anything about Israel/Gaza, so you're just hurting and killing far more people than you're saving.

As for the power you do have to better things (and make Leftism more viable as a political stance in the US)?

Work at the level of your local government. If you're in a small enough town or neighborhood and think you have what it takes, run for local office. Be a local face of the left wing; you're far more likely to sway a small town to your views than the whole country, and each small town with a socialist-leaning government is a dot on the map for larger-scale viability, and you can help keep your community safe while trying to build up in scale.

Build community so we can keep each other safe if worse does come to worst. Push mutual aid initiatives, help at food banks, grow produce to donate to those in need, apply to work at your local free clinic, empower local businesses whenever possible so that if there is a socioeconomic collapse, you and those you love aren't left completely without resources.

Protest, and make it disruptive. You can be disruptive without being violent: graffiti, blocking roads, encampments, sit-ins, to name a few examples. Create inconveniences so it gets people's attention whether they like it or not.

Above all, FUCKING VOTE BLUE. You're choosing your enemy. You get to help decide if the government we're working in spite of is run by milquetoast neoliberal war hawks who do, on some rare occasions, actually make things marginally better…or full-tilt Christo-fascists who want to kill some of us for kissing people with the same genitals as us. There aren't any other options that are going to be picked. It sucks, but at the bare minimum we can pick the option that isn't going to actively murder us while we try to build up viability for a candidate who won't sell out brown people to an ethnostate.

If you aren't doing at least one of the things above, then don't lecture me about how I keep myself and my community safe. I'd love to see a United States (or some future iteration of it) that acknowledges the sovereign rights of indigenous peoples, that doesn't fund genocide, that provides healthcare as a basic human right, that doesn't meddle in every other country's business. But if we are to see that, let alone help that happen, we need to survive this next presidential administration.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me and stood by me . Everyone who donated, everyone who participated, and everyone who prayed for me and my family . We are close to reaching the goal, but the Rafah crossing has not opened yet .

I increased the campaign goal to 85k because my sister cannot create her own campaign . So I included my sister and her family in my campaign .

Donate to Help Mohammed & His Family To Safety, organized by Bridget Pallas

Hello, My name is Bridget Kushner and I'm managing this fundraiser for Mohammed a… Bridget Pallas needs your support for Help Mohammed & Hi

I am Muhammad from Gaza (I was a software engineer) and my life was beautiful, but unfortunately even this dream of mine could not be achieved and completed because of the unjust war.

If you donate, you can help me achieve it outside Gaza

It is really worth asking you for help and appealing more than once

Imagine that your life would change within a few months, and you would go from a beautiful, spacious, and cold house to a narrow, hot tent. You would think you were in hell because of its heat.

This life here is difficult for anyone, even young people What about the baby’s who were born in war, and there are none of the necessities of life for the child Life here has become like a prison inside hell

But despite all this, we try to make them laugh and give them their rights🤍🫂

This is my campaign and this is my last hope🙏
