Ahlam has been going to dialysis in Gaza this entire time- as you can imagine this is incredibly difficult and she needs to be somewhere better to get treatment. Even a little donation can help towards an evac fund ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahlam. Ahlam has 9 daughters and a son and 22 grandchildren. She has been on dialysis for 11 years- a thing she needed 4 times a week. Today she is having a surgery on a fistula in her leg, she is hoping to evacuate Gaza for better care.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad is a web programmer and designer. He is 23 and was starting his life but lost his laptop early in the war and then his home. He was shot while he was trying to get water for his family from a roof container and needs a surgery.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

What's happening with the Chicago Public Libraries right now is terrible. The proposed budget of the city would CUT 89 CPL positions. Importantly, 78 positions were lost LAST year. That would be 167 positions in 2 YEARS while COPS KEEP GETTING MORE MONEY. ENOUGH. SAY NO.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.
We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.
Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.
He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.
He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

A central part of ICE's strategy here is to keep detainees hungry and thirsty in squalor to incentivize them to sign self-deportation papers to escape their inhumane conditions. And of course, they also lie to their captives about what they are signing.
Agustin Zamacona, who speaks and reads English, further says an agent in Broadview tried to get him to sign a self-deportation form by telling him it was court paperwork.
"I saw they weren't court papers, they were for deportation, so I didn't sign it," he says.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Reham. Reham is the primary caregiver for her 3 children Joan, 7, Emad, 6 and Kenan, 4. Her husband has a chronic illness and unfortunately cannot help much. They recently were able to return to their home but found it completely destroyed.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
