I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Maybe Nigel Farage should refuse to appear on the BBC in protest.

Echoing colleagues: Think before you (re)post. #Melissa is about to impact a relatively poor part of Jamaica. I doubt we will know the true extent of the devastation for days or weeks.

Information vacuums fill with disinformation. Expect a lot of “breaking wind” on SM.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Waseem. Waseem was married just a few days before the war began and him and his family (some with injuries) have been displaced repeatedly. He hadn’t made a fundraiser before but now in two months his first child Nabil is going to be born❤️

I can agree with the tenth one.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hanan. Before this Hanan was a homemaker and her husband drove a taxi. Hanan asked me if I liked Bayern Munich- because they liked to watch soccer. They’re trying to keep their children Jihad, 16, Rima, 14, Abed, 11 and Sama, 8 alive.
