WE’LL NEVER STOP: 9 More Ships Now 140 Nautical Miles from Gaza. The mission continues! Despite the illegal abduction of the Global Sumud Flotilla crew, a powerful new fleet is now critically close to the shores of Gaza. This collaborative fleet, a union of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (@gazafreedomflotilla) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (@thousandmadleenstogaza), is sailing with nearly 150 people from 30 countries. They are just 140 nautical miles from Gaza right now. The world is their witness. Follow the live tracker now to see all nine boats in real-time on the Freedom Flotilla website and share this message widely. Stop the Genocide. Keep your eyes on Gaza.

Not everything is terrible ♥️
A picture of the sunrise off my back deck this morning. There's an L shaped pond with a farmhouse and a barn off in the distance. The clouds are a deep pink reflecting off of the pond.
