For the first time, we are happy in Gaza despite the destruction and ruin. My sister studied hard and achieved a score of 96% at the end of high school. Share our joy and help her continue her studies.
Congratulations Mais🎉🎉😭

The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips

Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons

Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

In Thomas Paine park just north of Foley Sq every Thursday there are brief meditation sessions at 1PM and 4:30 Pm. A form of quiet resistance to fascism. It may not be the butterfly that breaks the Beast's back but every little bit helps. Dress for the weather.

A variety of signs surrounding flag of the Earth. "Ice out of NYC", "Immigrants R U.S", "Hands off my Democracy". There's also an upside down US flag.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”
