Dear Politicians,
PLEASE do not use "thoughts and prayers" when commenting on the latest gun slaughter . It has lost its meaning and is code for we are powerless to help. We are sick to death of you not finding a way to ban assault weapons and strengthen gun laws.
Sincerely, Majority of Americans

Hala has social media that predates the war (and I confirmed with the insta that this was her), is friends with Motaz and @drfeda.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before and many unique photos and videos.

Hala was able to stay in her home until this week, but now needs help as she is forced to leave 💔

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hala. Hala is only 16 years old and is a very popular singer in Gaza (you should check her out www.instagram.com/hala_e_omar?...). Her and her family are being forced to flee Gaza City and live in tents in the South. They need help ❤️

The sea eats my garden.
It quietly purées the base of the cliff
to mud and sand
until the lawn cracks away
beneath the verandah
and falls with a shudder

From my window
I watch it slough south
to the town
where ice cream eaters
parade the front
and hold familiar hands

Better & enter

At the side-ward door
we stop
peer through the wired glass
with hands cupped
she is sitting up
a magazine trapped on her lap.

We tap at the glass and mouth 'Better?'
She looks up,
her smiling lips say
'Enter!'
