There may be a ceasefire but families in Gaza have lost almost everything and are having to rebuild. Mahmoud has a new baby arriving soon too ❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

Reminder that we had arsonists, power lines, lightning strikes, campfire embers for 100 yrs & whole cities didn’t burn down multiple times a year.

These are 100% climate fires caused by drought, extreme winds, more lightning etc.

News outlets pushing anything else r denying clear & simple science.

She actually thanked Donald Trump in her acceptance statement.
The Nobel Committee is full of cowards and careerists.

Honestly, the Nobel Peace prize is bullshit.

Maria Machado is a right wing fascist that supports Donald Trump, and a whole list of bad policies.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

By “official” they mean the author of the piece once said “Trump is a communist” to a Police Officer themed stripper and he didn’t say no.
