food for death

Women were invited to receive aid at a U.S. run GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) food distribution area, “Tomorrow, during our morning distribution at our Saudi Quarter location, women only are welcome to come and receive a food box. Our local staff will direct women to a designated area where each will be given a box. Men should avoid the location during this time.” The welcome was intervened by Israeli soldiers who opened fire on the women. This is not the first aid station massacre, since May similar attacks have killed over 1,000 starving people and, as of today, negotiating teams have been recalled from Gaza ceasefire talks.

Palestinian women were told to go to U.S.-run aid sites in Gaza. They were killed and beaten instead, eyewitnesses say.

Meanwhile in U.S., we (the media, social and so-called news) are obsessing over the Epstein files instead of taking any action to protect vulnerable people- ANYWHERE. Those damn files are doing more harm than good- they are a DISTRACTION. Sure, open them and find out what we know – rich men have been abusing girls & boys. Epstein is dead & there’s another pimp who has picked up his work – s/he just hasn’t pissed off anyone enough yet to have their cover blown.

Meanwhile, starving women, mothers with babies, are being lured in for food, then beaten & executed in Palestine. “Distribution of death,” said a woman Raghad Abu Odeh who went to the aid station organized by the American group GHF (executive chairman Johnnie Moore, an American evangelical leader and businessman). Her father had been previously shot at another aid station.

While people are being murdered as they try to get aid and the fires around The Epstein Files are being fanned. While the fans are hot, let’s all remember that child marriage remains legal in 34 states- with no minimum age in California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, & Louisiana, and 15 in Kansas. 16 & 17 in most other states. Unchained At Last is an organization that provides

Let’s remember, concentration camps are being built on American soil and filled with people who are guilty of nothing but being born non-white. Along with immigrants, who are guilty of nothing but crossing a border to seek a better life and often taken through severely brutal means while pursuing legal channels of citizenship, now U.S. CITIZENS are being swept up at a more frequent rate.

And while all of that continues to happen and the media focuses on The Epstein Files, an executive order has been signed to restrict services for the mentally ill and homeless population under the guise of “ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS,” effectively allowing for non-consensual institutionalization of mental illness: “Federal agencies must promote the expanded use of civil commitment for homeless individuals with serious mental illness or substance use disorders, including by seeking the reversal of judicial precedents and termination of consent decrees that obstruct institutionalization.”

And mothers are being murdered in Palestine for picking up food that is offered at aid stations.

But sure, let’s get those Epstein files opened. Maybe then, with just a Mary Poppins snap, all child predators will be locked away and we can focus on systemic change to protect all vulnerable populations, and food will be delivered without fear of a death sentence.

I’ve been too shocked to write. My brain overwhelmed- short-circuited if you will- which is the point of all the rapid fire fuckedupedness of the last month. But I’m rebooting motherfuckers.

A friend said this administration isn’t the supervillian they imagined. To that I say:

Let’s be real … Hollywood is aspirational and always shiny, even in its darkness- red coat little girl- would one more name ever be enough. This is not Hollywood, this reality and it’s the underbelly of the swamp turned over by mass consumption of fools. PT Barnum is said to have said (tho not confirmed) “a fool is born every minute,” but that ratio of fools would be too few fools for this level of fraudulent foolishness- pure evil is also not to be equated with foolishness, but I digress.

This rattle we are living within is not that of supervillains, but the heavy asphyxiation of a nation by a level of megalomaniac narcissism we’ve not experienced in several generations. Instead of children telling on their neighbors & parents, we have forms to complete for “investigations” against schools or teachers who aren’t aligning with The Assministration. This is stranger than fiction and that’s how we know it’s not Hollywood, but cold reality.

I hear intonations indicating people are coming to from the bitchslap that was the 2024 election. People are sliding crowbars into the gears of The Assministration. Voices are joining, action is building, resistance is growing. Let’s just not stop acting. They don’t expect The Others to fight back. But there’s 99% to their 1% and we are scrappy and have less, but more to lose (nothing and everything).

This isn’t Hollywood and they aren’t supervillains. This is a fight they’ve been planning and, sadly, at least half of the 99% thought it was Hollywood and their trusty hero was a bumbling good ol’ boy who just wanted to do good for his teammates. Thing is, that good ol’ boy is the drunken quarterback of a losing team that peaked in high school and has been stroking his dick and revising his legend for the last 40 years. Fuck that guy.

It’s time to kick him off his stool and make him as irrelevant as possible. It’s a heavy stool but we can knock it over. Do I know how, no. No, I do not, but I know we can keep mucking up the cogs and hijacking their hijinks. It’s not gonna be easy and it’s gonna get messier before it gets better, but this country is a shitshow worth fighting for- and by that I mean the good people that are my neighbors and your neighbors and their neighbors. This country is a shitshow, but it’s got some good people and they are worth the fight.

Hollywood could never make this shit up. We are way better than Hollywood.
