🚨 My friend Nouran is in danger!

Nouran and her family are one of the almost one million people stuck in the area that Israel has said it is going to destroy imminently.

They need money to afford to move South.

Please help if you can and please share so others can.

🚨🚨🚨

Just minutes ago, we were ordered to evacuate the entire Gaza City toward the south.

This is the moment we feared for a long time.

My body trembles with fear, as if I am feeling it for the first time.

Now we don't know where to go or what to do!

My friends, I desperately need your help now!

We were ordered to evacuate to the south. We don't know what to do! If we decide to leave in the upcoming days, we need to secure transporation, buying tent and renting a land. The costs are unbearable. We can't cover them without your help.

Your contribution will help in saving our lives. Please donate and share

We're only getting out of this mess together. if you have some money you can share, please give to folk just looking to keep their family alive in a war zone.

Heck - some of them want to be dentists. The world could use more dentists; some you all have some *unique* teeth and I bet if you help them now, when they're set up proper? they'd help you with that weird tooth of yours 😀 .

You don't know me and I've never met the people on this list, but I've interacted with a few of them. Not only do I believe them, at the end of the day I'd rather think I was scammed by someone out of some money than think I turned my back on someone in harms way. Please help however you can.

And @Dr_Nadeen98 @NouranKhaledGh and @joynewacc @Aseelsehwel? I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Edit: adding in @Aseelsehwel to my tagged accounts; I had meant to add her but missed her name in error! I believe she was the first account I came across that really opened my eyes to the realities in Gaza. Without her posts I would probably not have understood how I could help. My apologies for not including her in my original post!

Please don't ignore my message!

We are very scared. I don't know how to decribe our situation. We might decide to leave to south in any moment and we need your urgent help. Leaving costs us unbearable amount of money. We can't cover this amount without your kind help.

Please help my family by donating via the link in the bio and please share with friends :underheart:

@staff are you guys limiting Lolo’s account? We’re trying to get in touch with her so we can have a video chat with her to verify her and this is not helping as @joynewacc is on your server and can’t follow her.

I‘d appreciate any help you can provide to resolve this.

Can anyone please let me know if Lolo’s account is limited on mas.to (and if so, why?)

We’re trying to get in touch with her to verify her and this is not helping.

If anyone knows anything please let me know.

Is the mas.to server a safe space for Palestinians suffering from Israel’s genocide and the resulting famine or should we be telling our friends in Palestine to create accounts elsewhere?

I’d really like to know. Any help is welcome.

/2 The trick behind this mitigation is to use the compiler to clamp all pointer offset operations in kernel code to a magnitude of less than 4GB. If you feel like grep-ing, the specific codegen for this clamp operation currently uses a special 0x2BAD poisoning pattern in the top 16 bits when the magnitude exceeds 4GB.

With some VA layout tricks to inject large 4GB unmapped gutters between major kernel VA regions, this has some delightful consequences.

They erased Banksy’s mural in London — just like they erase Gaza’s story every day. 💔

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

Starmer has lost 44% of the Labour vote since the election, largely to the left, and is likely to lose more to Your Party.

There is so little enthusiasm for Starmer, who is one of the least popular leaders in the world (-47 points) that Labour voters are also likely to just stay home.

This is not the fault of voters or the left. This is entirely the fault of the Labour right, their neoliberalism, austerity, authoritarianism, trans-hate and weakness over Israel.

A chart titled "Starmer is losing more voters to the left than right" displays the current voting intentions of individuals who previously voted for Labour in the 2024 general election.

The Israeli military has issued an evacuation order covering the entirety of Gaza City for the first time during the current round of fighting, ahead of a planned offensive to take over and occupy the city.

On Tuesday, six more Palestinians died from hunger, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death in Gaza to 399.

“I say to the residents of Gaza, take this opportunity and listen to me carefully: you have been warned – get out of there!” the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said.

Despite the campaign to displace the city’s residents, only a small proportion – about 50,000 people – of its 1 million residents have left.

The UN has said that it can cost more than $1,000 to move to southern Gaza, an unimaginable price tag for most of Gaza’s residents. Southern Gaza is already packed with people who have already been displaced several times before.”
