I think you'll find the community here on Substack very supportive, and with lots of people sharing your outrage about the genocide taking place in Gaza.

I wrote my post on Substack in September, 2023. It was going to be all about big ideas for a just and green future. But since October 7th, Israel's genocide in Gaza and the support for it by the USA and its allies are almost all I'm able to write about.

It helps my sanity a lot to have so many kindred spirits on this site.

Welcome, and I hope you find this platform as satisfying as I do.

Thanks so much for your welcoming comment, Diana. Yes, I know what you mean. The genocide has overtaken events and if one is going to speak out, now's the time. I wish I'd got my writing together sooner. I will read your articles on the subject. Best, Austin

Great intro! I completely agree with your sentiments and Diane & Jack’s comments. The world breaks our hearts every damn day so it’s comforting to read and hear similar souls here share their thoughts.

I found Substack reading Chris Hedges Report and so grateful for this medium to follow Palestine believers 🇵🇸❤️
