These scholarships are only for people who are actively giving back to their community and those who are disabled and actively resisting these oppressive conditions.
A definition of trauma, (from our substack April 7, 2026): the advent of trauma care was off the backs of people who were experiencing marginalization, power-under circumstances of repeated abuse and subjugation. Whether it is person-to-person or from man made or natural disasters, trauma involves an experience of actual power-under as the impact is occurring. There is a sense of loss of agency from acute or prolonged lack of time, space, support, militaristic means, finances/sustainable means, understanding of context… while being position for immediate response to real impact, abuse and/or threats to vulnerability from something/someone with power-over status. Person-to-person this power dynamic is created by power usurpation with denial of basic humane responsibility that goes with that power accrual.

What is Intersectional Support (IxFS/IxFMH)?
It means we are Human Rights oriented.
What is Intersectional Support?
Simply put, Intersectional Support values all life on the planet current, past and present; and allows for nuanced understanding of trauma care needed to honor that balance.
Why is Intersectional Support vital to a trauma recovery process?
Intersectionality at its core is a highly effective framework for mapping and understanding trauma impact and also trauma recovery
What could this look like in practice?
Sometimes it may look like compassionate curiosity to parse abuse of power in a traumatic event/ongoing event to help the orienting part of the brain. We recognize humans are imperfect and we focus on healing and care in safe or relatively safer settings, if/as that is available and/or as that is safe to imagine, in order to help the nervous system to regain as much whole brain support as possible when reasoning through situations.

Global Trauma Care Updates:
We always want to meet life with care and gentleness. That’s why trauma care is so helpful. We are sorry for the delayed updates. We do hope to resume updating more regularly in the next few weeks!
GLOBAL UPDATES
Draft: 6/14/26 Helping folks navigate the Gaslighting!
Hey lovely people, in case anyone needs support navigating the gaslighting re: zio’ism — what it is and what it isn’t, Rabbi Feldman gave a talk at UCLA recently that covers all the bases, here’s the link. Please enjoy, listen, re-listen and share!
Also, if you really want to understand the Imperial war on Iran and it’s relationship to Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba, Sudan, The DRC… here’s a great longer talk. Every moment is so good! Too Black interviews Bikrum Gill on The Black Myths Podcast on Black Liberation Media, linked here.
This month the blockade on Palestinians in Palestine has been tightened by the izrelli occupiers. That means they need support with getting basics, such as water. Let’s also remember the occupiers destroyed all the infrastructure and actively poison land and wells there as part of the plausible genocide, interfere with sanitation and rebuilding, so now children are being nibbled by rats. Sameer Project continues to bring water trucks to Gaza, the link to donate is here. As well, Lifeline4Gaza lists mutual aid opportunities to donate directly to families, linked here. If you haven’t checked them out, HEAL Palestine, provides non politically affiliated support to Palestinians needing access to emergency care outside of the region (again due to all of their medical facilities and personnel being targeted in a plausible genocide). They receive donations for transport and also help link up host families for those needing care. Please feel free to check their work out via this link. Doctors Against Genocide is receiving donations for Sudan, The DRC, Palestine and others. The link to donate is here. All of these organizations have low/no overhead and maximize the funds and aid that go directly to people resisting imperial violence.
PSL is continuing to send aid to Cuba, as the US is continuing to run lethal sanctions and blockades on them. The US has interrupted Cuba’s program of sending their highly skilled doctors out globally and affordably to those in most dire need. The US is interrupting electricity to hospitals, threatening the lives of those who are on machine based support, including babies in NICU in incubators. The US also then runs electricity selectively to luxury hotels for its own citizens to stay in. The Cuban government is not evil, just like fishermen in the Carribean are not evil or carrying drugs, they are just not wanting to be imperial subjects and economic slaves of the US. All of the targeting is a way for the US war economy to profit off of harm being done to others. Please feel free to write your locally elected officials to tell them you do not support Imperial brutality and sanctions on Cuba or anywhere else. This is a great way to show you care for the country you are in and want to see it do good, while also helping others to have access to basic life without subjugation by an Imperial bully.
Why are sanctions dangerous and what are they? Sanctions are economic limitations put onto other countries via trade blockades and other financial manipulations. They are not supposed to be used to manipulate countries into subjugation, but the US puts these stifling limits on countries it wants to take over, makes up stories that there is brutal dictatorship going on when these countries resist the brutality and try to care for the people in house as best they can with the rationing they experience due to sanctions, then pays bad actors to gin up all the challenges faced under sanctions and local issues that any community with different opinions about things would face, and then the US says it needs to invade, take over or place more lethal sanctions on based on the paid propagandists telling the American public that life is so awful there. Americans are so poorly informed and have the worst global media literacy rates that they cannot distinguish truth from fabrication and so their government gets away with coup after coup in their uninformed names.
If you want to break the cycle, here are some books and podcasts that will give you a different on the ground perspective. As part of media literacy, ask yourself, who is funding the mass media and the public education in your area. Then look at who is funding these independent journalists, who live or visit in these regions and are putting them and their loved ones at risk to get the facts on the ground to you. When facts are inconvenient to the powers that be, pay attention! We see this in stories and situation from the Epstein Survivors, the Palestinians, to the continued targeting of our beloved Black and First Nations Communities…to our own daily lives.
Americans are worried about the rising costs of living. Please know this 10 times over or more has been run by the US Government on people throughout the world to subjugate and exploit them in their moment of constructed vulnerability. Stop the cycle, educate yourself. Find unity in human rights for all and dismantling structures of oppression/subjugation/supremacy; do not fall for the cries for false unity under shared ignorance — that is a cry for privileged lack of accountability and enabling adult infantilism. Don’t give in to crocodile tears.
If you’d like to understand more about US Imperialism, here are some classic books to check out:
Open Veins of Latin America, Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano
Vijay Prashad’s book on the history of Coups, linked here.

5/20/26 SA, Torture and Sadistic Psychological Harm employed by Israeli Occupiers via IDF and Vigilante Civilians on Palestinians
Activation considerations: SA and colonial trauma info relayed via this weeks links. If you are part of a colonizing entity and need to learn about what is being perpetrated in your name, it’s important to read these reports and speak up against these continuing atrocities.
The Euro Med Human Rights Monitor submitted a 3rd Party Investigative SA Report covering Izrl torture of Palestinians, linked here. The report analysis is covered by Ali Abunimah and Maha Hussaini, linked here.
A review of history of systematic torture and SA by Izrli Occupiers on Palestinians since 1948, linked here. This torture has been used to scare people to flee, as part of a consistent ethnic cleansing campaign, as well as to martyr people as part of an ongoing g’nocide.
Reports share that Izrli public is by large backing this behavior and in fact, celebrating the people inflicting this torture, punishing those who come forward to report the abuse, and legalizing rape and torture towards Palestinians in captivity, often with no or no credible charge or charged in military courts with biased and discriminatory proceedings against Palestinians.
UAE-Izrli complicity in funding/arming widespread armed torture, including SA, and g’nocide in Sudan, linked here.
Haaertz, in Occupied Palestine, an Israeli publication has been publishing articles periodically covering some of the torture being enacted on Palestinians, an article from January 2026 linked here. The article includes use of illegal acid, starvation, dehydration, denial of medica care. More articles from Haaertz will be posted.

5/7/26
April 17th was Palestinian Prisoners Day, honored every year for those continuously held in Izraeli prisons with no justice. Palestinians are routinely cast as “criminals” and imprisoned for just living on their homeland, by the people who seek to occupy, ethnically cleanse, torture and genocide them. Bisan gives an update from Gaza, including ongoing call to release over 10,000 Palestinians held in Izraeli prisons during the annual Palestinian Prisoner’s Day gathering. The staggering majority of Palestinians are held without a charge or on inequitable and likely non credibly evidenced charges per an impartial 3rd party international observer, as is common in an apartheid. Even if they face a court, it is a military court with no jury of peers. Young children have lived most of their lives in there. As they acknowledged, it is the U$ that is the one that decides what happens to them.
We will be posting a link to UN report on IOF routine torture and S.A. of Palestinians. Activation note about the graphic contents. The people being harmed did not cause the situation. The accountability lies with the Izraeli’s who have inflicted the harm, created and enforced policies that legalize this kind of depravity, made excuses for or knowingly obfuscated the facts about the reality. The reports document systemic, methodic, and premeditated s*xual torture and abuse, even including training dogs to inflict s’xual abuse on Palestinian’s detained in their torture camps, adults and children, all genders. We demand an immediate end to this senseless and horrific brutality!
Palestinians continue to call for the end of this violence and find ways to honor life in the midst of this nightmare. There are beautiful reports of libraries and schools being put together painstakingly in the midst of all of this.
Lemkin Institute has extended the genocide designation to include South Lebanon which has sustained unrelenting and record rounds of attacks by Izrel. Izrel has committed crimes, obliterating critical infrastructure up to and beyond the Litany River, as is outlined in their Greater Izrael Project that encompasses Falastin (Palestine), Lebnin (Lebanon), Syria, Turkiye (Turkey), …growing list of parts of West Asia. Izrel has been attacking Iran in order to continue carnage and land theft for it’s expansionist project with the collaboration of the U$ and beholden gulf monarchies (GCC). The U$ has installed puppet and client governments and seeded and contracts terrorists from AQ and IS for decades throughout West Asia and Africa, even installing Jolani as head of Syria and running attacks on the government in Mali in the eastern part of North Africa as they try to run coups against Ibrahim Traore, deeply beloved leader in neighboring Burkina Faso.
Still the people reject this brutality and interjection of U$ wanton destruction and brutality across the region. Sudan through The DRC remain in steadfast solidarity. With people there locally rejecting western hegemonic (U$-Iz-UAE and their contracted terrorists) antagonism. News reports locally show a dedication to maintaining self determination and sovereignty, as mutual aid projects continue throughout the region!
The West Bank remains under illegal siege by Israel daily. Israeli’s recently conducted another illegal stolen land sale in a synagogue on the upper east side of new york city, U$. The land seizure is illegal and the sales to people of one ethnicity is illegal. This is similar to many other illegal land seizures and ethnically exclusive sales occurring throughout the US and other British Nepo Entities. Citizens who protest are being limited in their ability to approach the facilities being used as cover for these internationally and domestically illegal crimes. Who’s rights are being protected?
Farmers in The West Bank had been accompanied by global volunteers lending ‘protective presence’ to maintain their daily life and livelihood. Now the protective presence volunteers are documenting the conditions of constant vigilante terrorism of these Palestinian farmers and their families by Iz settlers. They recently attacked a school in The West Bank. Please see the documentary “No Other Land” and the work of independent Jewish journalist Nathaniel Jasper (infinite jaz).
The US has yet to be accountable for the double tap strike on an elementary girls school in Iran and other explicitly stated and carried out crimes against humanity in Iran. The U$ put the Strait of Hormuz under control of Iran through its deceitful war games and was the reason for critical global trade grinding to a dangerous halt in some places. The cost of oil rose globally, with the U$ president’s son showing millions of dollars of returns on insider trading and Americans paying more at the pump.
