Israel killed today another of journalist Motasem Dalloul's children.

Motasem made the announcement 3 hours after the ceasefire should have taken effect.

Israel has now killed his wife & 3 children.

He himself has been wounded twice, once during the Great Return March & once during the genocide.

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

For those who missed it:

I've been unemployed since July. My previous employer terminated me based on a lie told by my then-client's family, which resulted in me not being eligible for unemployment. My disabled spouse and I have been struggling since then.

Looking for boosts and donations!

If yall could boost this, that would be great. Credit cards are about to go into collections, car's facing repossession, still not eating full meals, and my mental health is at a critical low. We truly truly need help, and we need it NOW
