How could I forget my Hexbear banner!

As much as I was going party-sicko when this happened, I will never not find pics like this horrifying. I struggle to imagine a greater terror than constantly hearing these missiles coming down around me.

There was one video that showed the electricity going out as a missile struck. That one felt pretty cathartic given how electricity has been cut from Gaza for I don't even know how long. I also lost my own electricity for a few months back in 2017 with hurricane Maria and even though it wasn't directly the US that did that to us (they did cause the climate change that could create such a storm), they did withhold emergency funding until we privatized our electric grid. Seeing colonizers get their electricity cut doesn't really feel bad.

Where did the first and fourth images come from?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Unsure, pretty sure I saw both either here or Lemmygrad.ml. The first is in celebration of victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.
