âI am writing to you from inside the hospital after days of intense pain and fear, as my condition has seriously worsened. The doctors have given me a devastating warning: I may urgently need to undergo an amputation of my left leg if I do not receive the required treatment immediately.
Time is no longer on my side. Every passing hour brings me closer to losing a part of my body and the life I know. I am in shock and deep fear, but I still hold on to a small hope that support will reach me in time.
I urgently need $900 to cover the treatment and save my leg before it is too late. I am not asking for muchâonly one last chance before this becomes an irreversible reality.
Any help, no matter how small, or even sharing this appeal, could be the reason my life is saved from an irreversible loss.
From the heart of pain, I am writing to you⊠please donât leave me alone in this moment.â

Please read Diaaâs message to all respected members of Mastodon in his own words.
The deadline is tomorrow, and the situation is urgent.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words, support, and sincere human compassion. I am more grateful than I can ever express.
To clearly explain my situation: the total amount required for my treatment is a little over $2000. So far, $800 has been collected and already used for essential medical tests, scans, and initial evaluations of my condition.
Today, after consultations with an orthopedic consultant surgeon and several doctors at the hospital, I was informed that my situation is very complex and serious. There is a very high riskâup to 90%âassociated with the surgery due to the severity of the femur injury, a broken fixation screw, and misalignment resulting from the previous operation.
If the surgery is not successful tomorrow, or if it cannot be completed safely, I may urgently need treatment outside of Gaza. Otherwise, there is a real risk of losing my leg, God forbid. This reality is deeply painful for me and keeps my mother awake at night, and affects my younger sisters as well.
My condition has also physically worsened; there is significant swelling, redness, and visible signs of bleeding in my foot, along with severe, unbearable pain.
This morning, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance due to the intensity of the painâI was unable to stand. I am still suffering from severe pain and difficulty moving.
Unfortunately, I was transferred to the hospital this morning, and I do not know what will happen next. Everything I have gone through can be seen in the video, which shows the extreme pain I am experiencing.
I remain holding on to hope, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me or tried to help. Your support means so much to me in these difficult moments.

I have significant swelling in my foot, and according to the doctor, a broken fixation screw has affected the tissues and nerves, causing this severe pain and swelling.
From the medical report (although not clearly written):
Knee (left knee)
No collection of fluid

I have been prescribed medication in preparation for urgent surgery.

đ Is There Still Hope?
I am writing these words from southern Gaza while living through one of the hardest moments of my life. Your donations have become our only lifeline amid hunger, destruction, and the lack of even the most basic necessities.
Today, I went to the hospital because of the severe pain in my leg, and there I received devastating news. The doctors discovered that one of the metal screws fixing my leg has broken, causing very serious complications. The pain has become unbearable, and I can no longer stand properly. The doctors told me that I urgently need surgery to save my leg from amputation.
My injury is not minor. I suffered a fractured femur, extensive damage to tissues and nerves, and there are still shrapnel fragments inside my leg. I also have a metal plate extending from my hip to my left knee, and after one of the screws broke, my condition has become more dangerous than ever.
I had previously postponed the surgery because I could not afford the $800 cost, and because I was struggling to provide for my familyâs basic needs during these extremely difficult circumstances. Now, after my condition has worsened and one of the fixation screws has broken, the surgery has become more urgent than ever. The doctors warned me that any further delay could result in losing my leg permanently. đđ
âł I have only 5 days left to undergo this surgery. Every day that passes increases the risk of permanent amputation, and I am terrified that it will soon be too late.
I urgently need $800 for the operation. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to saving my leg. đ
I am facing this pain while also carrying the burden of my brother's imprisonment, my mother's illness, and the responsibility of being the sole provider for my family. I feel helpless and afraid of what the future may hold, but I still hold on to hope in God and in the kindness of compassionate people.
đ Please do not leave me alone in this hardship.
Any donation, no matter how small, could help save my leg and support my family. If you are unable to donate, please share this post. It may reach someone who can help.
đ My life and my family's future are in your hands.

because of Trump, #México just amended their constitution to annul #elections decided by foreign intervention.
WHY?
#MAGA #Trump are using #drugs to revive the Monroe Doctrine. thatâs why they kidnapped #Venezuelaâs Maduro. the judicial excuse was drug trafficking, not oil.
itâs why DoJ issued a warrant for the GOVERNOR of Sinaloa: to invade MĂ©xico.
and, thatâs what Bolsonaroâs son asked Trump to do in #Brasil: to give Lula the drugs treatment.

Court Rejects #Alabama #House Map, Calling It Unfair to #Black Voters
The Alabama #Republican led legislature, Governor & AG are likely to appeal the ruling, which stops an effort to use a new congressional map that would likely cost #Democrats a majority-Black district.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/us/politics/alabama-congress-map-redistricting.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share
#Alabamaâs AG, Steve Marshall, said he would immediately appeal to #SCOTUS, which last month ruled that a #Louisiana congressional map drawn to create 2 majority-#Black House districts was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Gov Kay Ivey, a Republican, has already set special primaries in August in 4 #House districts that would be affected by her stateâs new congressional map.
#VotingRights #VRA #redistricting #law #RepresentationMatters #WhiteSupremacy #SouthernStrategy #JimCrow #Trump
The ruling further confuses the electoral landscape across the #South, as #Republican-led legislatures have raced to implement new district lines after #SCOTUS narrowed the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. It also demonstrates how the ruling from the nationâs highest court has further muddled how lower courts interpret the landmark #CivilRights #law.
#VotingRights #VRA #redistricting #ElectionLaw #RepresentationMatters #WhiteSupremacy #gerrymandering #SouthernStrategy #JimCrow #Trump
If the case makes it to #SCOTUS, it will be the first major test of the high courtâs new standard for challenging congressional maps. The lower court judges made clear that they had reviewed the arguments through the lens of the Supreme Courtâs #VotingRightsAct ruling last month but maintained that the stateâs map failed under the new standard by intentionally discriminating against #Black voters.

Why does the news media act as stenographer every time Trump makes a statement about the war that is completely unsupported by any evidence, when there is now ample evidence that he is using public statements to manipulate the oil and stock markets to enrich him and the people close to him?
Journalists could, at least, MENTION the context that he has repeatedly made false statements about the war and insiders have profited off of them.

The possible deal doesn't address Iran's missile supply nor a moratorium on enrichment. "Those issues would be addressed in future negotiations." The #USA had previously sought "at least a 20-year commitment."

The costs are ballooning from Trumpâs renovation, re-decoration & building spree in Washington, DC, & at the White House. He goes on social media posting frenzies that often focus on his pet projects, gripes & personal triumphs, including a 22-year-old newspaper review of his TV show, âThe Apprentice.â But perhaps the most striking example came Tuesday, when #Trump was asked whether the economic hardship Americans are feeling would motivate him to make a deal to end the #war.
Just to be clear ⊠Trump flew to Beijing, China, to deliver a white surrender flag personally.
Trump didnât gain a single thing for America. He and his billionaire entourage left China after strengthening the position of Xi Jinping and putting America in a far weaker spot than when he had flown to Beijing.
America would have remained in a stronger position economically and diplomatically if Trump had just stayed home and golfed.

Sebastian Gorkaâs anti-terror plan makes no mention of long-established threats posed by far-right militants and instead villainizes the presidentâs political enemies. âThis administration is not paying attention to the data,â one expert said.

Judge Orders US to Return #Colombian Woman Deported to #Congo
The unusual ruling came after the judge found that the #Trump admin had most likely violated the #law by deporting the 55-year-old woman to the African country despite its refusal to take her.
The judge ordered the admin to return the woman, Adriana Maria Quiroz Zapata to the #US, a rare instance of a judge doing so amid the adminâs #deportation campaign.

#Trump Bulldozed a 1,000-Year-Old #ArcheologicalSite to Make Room for a Second Border Wall
#DHS was in talks with the #WildlifeRefuge that hosts the ancient site to make sure it was protected, a local archeologist said.
Adam Federman
April 30 2026, 7:01 p.m.
"A rare archaeological site in the #SonoranDesert was bulldozed by a Department of Homeland Security contractor involved in building the latest sections of Donald Trumpâs #BorderWall, according to multiple sources briefed on the incident.
"The area, in a remote corner of Arizonaâs #CabezaPrieta #NationalWildlifeRefuge, is a nearly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an #intaglio.
"Last Friday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact.
"Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the #TohonoOodham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The Oâodham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trumpâs first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands.
" 'I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines â something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting. Not destroying,' Rick Martynec, an archaeologist, said in a phone interview, referring to the hundreds of figures drawn into the deserts of southern Peru.
"The destruction was confirmed by a federal employee with direct knowledge of the incident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal."

By Monday, the hashtag #saladman was trending on social media.
Glantz told the New York Times he was asked why he had not sunk to the floor, as everyone else at his table and most others in the ballroom had done.
âFirst of all, I have a bad back,â he said.
âI couldnât get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, theyâd have to bring in people to get me off the floor. And Iâm a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening.â

Seems like, to the extent that consumers paid tariffs (as opposed to some of it being absorbed by businesses), they wonât see any refunds. This system lets the businesses collect, but doesnât obligate anyone to do anything with the refund. They can pocket it.
Months ago when the tariffs were announced, some foreign suppliers were pressured by their American buyers to accept some of the burden: hold prices steady or accept a smaller increase. Those suppliers just take a loss. Their American counterparty is getting some amount of refund, but theyâre out of luck.

Q: "Who has upper hand?"
A: "It is important to cut through the statements of both #Iran regime and #Trump regime: no one wins in a war.
Iranians certainly haven't won, given the damage they have taken. The Trump camp certainly have not won, given Iran's counter-attacks and control of the Strait of Hormuz.
People in Lebanon have not won with #Israel attacks"
@Lazarou When Trump claimed the Strait of Hormuz was "completely open and ready for business and full passage" - he lied.
The strait of hormuz didn't "close again" since the claim it was fully open wasn't true.
Trump's lie then caused the media to copy the lie claiming the "strait opened and then closed again" but the media are spinning the narrative by putting blame on Iran, rather than putting blame on #trump for lying. He lied probably to manipulate markets.
Oh the Strait is closed again is it?

Dubbed âProject SAFE HAVEN,â the product is advertised by defense vendor Edge Ops LLC as a âquestion-based AI interfaceâ that uses âpersistent passive data collectionâ to map âpatterns of life,â a surveillance tactic that ICE says will identify the âhabitual locations, routes, and behavioral patternsâ of its targets.
Additional features of the technology described in procurement documents include real-time location tracking and analysis that will categorize individuals and groups as affiliated with ostensible criminal organizations, such as gangs or cartels. That includes building âtarget profilesâ that track individualsâ activity by linking data obtained from Wi-Fi network connections and mobile smart devices, such as cell phones and smartwatches.
A promotional blurb for the tool on Edge Ops LLCâs website claims that Project SAFE HAVEN âtransforms the way we identify, locate, and map illegal migrants.â"

Can you imagine Trump writing alt text though. Heâd be more likely to wash a homeless personâs feet. #Trump
Genuinely though. Trump would read Russian literature before writing alt text.
Trump would go to a Buddhist retreat for a month of silent meditation, before writing alt text.
Trump would ensure a woman is satisfied sexually before he is, before writing alt text.
Interview: The Pope Says War-makers Have âHands Full of Bloodâ
Trumpâs Catholic VP, JD Vance, said the pope should âstick to matters of morality.â
âI donât know any other more pressing moral issues than war and peace... I donât understand how VP Vance cannot see that war is a moral issue."
~Father James Martin

#Vance wading into spat between #Trump and the #Pope is only turning the heat upâŠ
âIt would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality, to stick to matters of whatâs going on in the Catholic church and let the president of the United States stick to dictating American public policyâ
- Trump is a dictator acting without checks or balances.
- launching an illegal war is not merely âpublic policyâ

They should make Trump write alt text for the memes he posts on Truth Social so everyone is perfectly clear what he thinks heâs posting. #Trump

Yâall, we need to talk about China. Because we have angered the Panda in no uncertain terms.
About the US blockade of Iran, China said âChinese ships continue to move in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. We have trade and energy agreements with Iran, which we will respect and abide by. We expect others not to interfere in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and has opened it to usâ
In response, the US Navy seized a ship carrying Chinese purchased oil from Venezuela, which was called a "serious act of international piracy."
The crazy man has decided to go toe to toe with China. This is a very bad thing, and the Guardians of Pedophiles will do nothing to stop him. Letâs not forget, he already used the military to steal millions of dollars of Venâs oil which disappeared into his bank account. *see following comment

When the US seized Venezuelan oil previously, Trump sold the seized oil to Vitol, a Geneva-based energy trading firm, in a deal worth approximately $250 million. Vitol's senior trader, John Addison, is a $6 million donor to Trumpâs campaign.
The sale involved nearly 2 million barrels of crude oil which was seized off the coast in December 2025.
The oil was reportedly sold at a $50 per barrel, significantly higher than the $30 Venezuela price to China.
Proceeds from the sale were directed to an offshore account in Qatar with no oversight.
The Trump administration justified the seizure and sale as part of a broader effort to dismantle what it called an illicit oil network supporting "narco-terrorist" activities.
While the administration claimed the funds would benefit Venezuelans and Americans, there is no public accounting of how the money has been used.
