New Year's Resolutions

"War Economy" by Tjeerd Royaards

My new year's resolutions to stay safe and, if possible, sane in 2025:


Show up and stand with real people against genocide in Gaza, airstrikes on Lebanon, Syria and Yemen*



Don't interact with fake AI-generated "persons" on social media.

Research Dead Internet theory -- presumably by using the internet?



Give recurring monthly donations to
UNRWA as I am unable to respond to the hundreds of direct appeals from Palestinians suffering and dying in Gaza

Cut back on my journalism subscriptions to fund this (bye bye Seymour Hersh)

Finish stacking the wood we plan to burn in 2026



Continue boycotting corporate entities who support Israel's genocide of Palestinians

Continue supporting divestment efforts in my state

Read Normal Island News by Laura K. in the UK in order to laugh through my tears

Read Caitlin Johnstone in Australia for big picture perspective and the best metaphors

Read Palestine Will Be Free for on the ground reporting from the resistance

Learn to use Telegram more effectively, especially once Resistance News Network resumes posting this month

Regard "big tent" organizing led by Democrats with the disdain it deserves, and spread the word



Employ diverse strategies and tactics to hasten the demise of the Zionist empire and its genocidal wars
