this should make you angry. children in gaza have been out of school for a whole year and will be out of school as long as the israeli invasion continues. palestinian children live in flimsy tents which do not offer them any protection from the heat/cold. they travel long distances to search for water. they are threatened by water-borne diseases and skin infections that are running rampant in gaza.

no aid has been allowed in gaza since may. there is a shortage of everything from food to medicine to blankets to tents. this means that prices for everything have gone up.

it has become very expensive to survive in gaza. heavy rains followed by the winter are fast approaching. a tent does not offer much protection against the elements.

help alaa [ @alaakh998 ] buy supplies for the winter and medicine for her son who is suffering from a skin infection. she has two children aged six and four. she needs to ensure their safety and welfare and it cannot be done without your help.

This racism against Haitians is really getting to me. I'm not even sure how to refer to it because I don't even want to say "eating pets thing" because they're not doing that! It's a completely made up racist hoax that the Republican candidates for president and vice-president are all in on.

#this is the most context I have for the whole thing#I didn’t see or hear anything about it before and was confused about the posts urgently saying Haitians needed protection @karleenscreativeworld

There's a town in Ohio with a lot of Haitian immigrants and the right made up a completely fake, racist story about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets. To be clear, this did not happen. It's completely made up. A lot of people who aren't on twitter (or maybe some corners of facebook) didn't know about it because it's basically a right wing racist social media hoax, but JD Vance was all in on it tweeting about it and he's a sitting senator who's running for vice-president and then last night Trump mentioned it during the debate. It's had some more mainstream news coverage now because of that and things like the police in Ohio saying "yeah that's not happening."

even worse, it was unsurprisingly started by a literal neo-nazi:

I want to apologize. I've been saying that the GOP cooked up these fake Haitian stories a week ago as an election ploy.  But this young man was discussing issue as early as August 27. He attended a town hall meeting to speak out.  He's a leader in the Neo-Nazi group Blood Pride. pic.twitter.com/PcReF05muc  — Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) September 10, 2024ALT

some other debunks (per snopes)

the photo going around of a black guy carrying a goose by the neck (which like first of all hats off to anyone who can capture a canada goose by grabbing it by the neck those things are nasty) was apparently taken in columbus ohio (not springfield ohio where this whole faux controversy is supposedly set) and the guy in it likely wasn’t even haitian. the video of a woman being arrested for animal cruelty and confessing to eating a cat was not taken in springfield and the woman in the video speaks with an american accent and is clearly not haitian.

the recent wave of haitian immigrants moving to springfield hasn’t resulted in any kind of crime spike. the “white boy murdered by a haitian immigrant on the way to school” story was a tragic case of vehicular manslaughter, and the boy’s parents disavowed anyone using his story as anti-immigrant propaganda.

while there has been a recent uptick in haitian immigration to the united states (and to be clear we should welcome them. the situation in haiti is dreadful) most haitian immigrants living in the united states have been here for 10+ years because they were given temporary protected status after the 2010 earthquake and then virtually nothing else was done for them (they should be offered a path to citizenship imo) many of them who originally settled in coastal cities are now moving to midwestern towns (such as springfield ohio) because that’s where the factory and warehouse jobs are and the cost of living is more affordable.

Just to reiterate:

Donald Trump got up on the debate stage last night and repeated the words of a neo-Nazi in an attempt to demonize immigrants and make them targets of racist violence.

And his VP agrees wholeheartedly and is saying the same thing!

The media has us all so inured to any given piece of awfulness Trump does bc he’s done so much horrible stuff for so long. But I need to emphasize how insane and terrible this is, and how fucking disqualifying it should be on a social level:

Donald Trump repeated the words of a neo-Nazi on national TV to millions of viewers.

He publicly closed the last impression of a gap between himself and neo-Nazism.

This is where we are at. It is insane to me that even a lot of progressive publications aren’t really getting much further than “this is very racist” (which it is).

I want to give a shoutout to The Forward for taking this as seriously as it should be. It’s not a huge surprise that a Jewish publication is clocking how deeply bad the conspiracy claims that The Outsiders are Doing Secretive Blood-Drinking Rituals, but I appreciate them saying it explicitly instead of just kind of stopping at, “Well this isn’t good!”.
