I have seen less and less posts about Palestine each day, and I want to remind people that there is still very much a genocide going on and Palestine has continued to be attacked.

The number of casualties in Gaza has increased to 8,525 with 21,000+ injured

Hospitals in Gaza will run out of power today

Israel has once again cut Gaza’s communications

Israel has striked another refugee camp, killing 50+ and it was reported that children were carrying other injured children to get to safety

[savenas-wrestling]

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

"if you don't enjoy the backstage drama you're not a real wrestling fan" is THEE stupidest gatekeeping ive seen in wrestling fandom and ive seen a lot

[savenas-wrestling]

According to various sources, wwe plan was to feed Naomi to Bianca and Sasha to Ronda to elevate them even further, with no plans for the tag titles. so yeah, using the tag champs as a sacrificial lamb to the solo champions. And it was confirmed by Fightful Select that the statement about Sasha and Naomi not wanting to work with two of the opponents is false

oh my god you guys

◾️ zwarte piet is racisme // black pete is racist ◾️

where i’m from, Sinterklaas is celebrated today; a winter holiday like Christmas, but imagine instead of jolly elves giving you presents and bringing you joy, it’s white people in blackface - Zwarte Piet, a racist caricature.

because of this, late november - early december is Hell for black people in the Netherlands and Belgium. you walk down the street seeing white people doing blackface minstrelsy, you grow up seeing tons of blackface imagery in stores or on TV, and the conversation on whether or not its racist is being dominated by complete disregard to the Dutch colonial & slavery history. 

while changes are being made (slowly), the amount of gaslighting and racist violence black people and POC here have to endure is draining and traumatizing. “it’s for the kids!” they say, but i’ve seen first hand how it has negatively impacted black kids in my family, making them question their place in society, myself included. black activists have campaigned against the tradition and those speaking out have been beaten and harassed by both the police and the far-right. and yes, this happens in a country that prides itself on being sooooo tolerant.

it should not take that much effort to change a “fun, family friendly holiday tradition for kids” in such a way that is inclusive for EVERYONE - in a way that remains fun and pleasant without harming others, especially marginalized folks.  today i wanted to speak up and use my platform in hopes to educate, spread awareness and advocate for change.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about the ICW/Nolan Edwards/Noah Edward situation on here, and it took me a bit to piece together what was happening on twitter so I figured I’d post these here.

Nolan, who is 23 (per cagematch) groomed/abused Alice Crowley while she was still in high-school. (First pic is her mentioning that she only just graduated. Second is Edward admitting to dating her.)

Recently ICW No Holds Barred booked him on a show, and when fans expressed their concerns they claimed to be looking into things. As these screenshots from bozojesus on twitter show, Alice and her family have not been contacted by ICW as of today (8/24). So it’s unclear how much of an “investigation” they’re actually conducting. In addition to this, they’re still booking Dan Maff (a pedophile)

For those wondering if there is any way to support Jon Huber/Brodie Lee/Luke Harper’s family I will link some ways below

First Pro Wrestling Tees has said that all the proceeds from Brodie’s merch on both his Pro Wrestling Tees Page and the AEW Shop will go to his family

Brodie’s Page - AEW Shop

Pro Wrestling Tees also stated that CM Punk informed them that he wanted to give all the proceeds of his merch for the next month to the Huber family

CM Punk’s Page

Seeing the tweet about CM Punk, Mick Foley was inspired to the same thing and will be giving all the proceeds of his merch for the month of January to the Huber family as well

Mick Foley’s Page

EC3 posted on his Instagram that there is a limited run legacy shirt of Brodie Lee with the proceeds going to the Huber family

UPDATE - 12.29.20

CollarxElbow tweeted that they have released a Brodie Lee tribute shirt with the proceeds going to the Huber family.
