I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Thanks to a generous donor, Abeer obtained a solar panel so she has solved the problem of charging and lighting. She was also able to get a room from her neighbor in exchange for providing light. While that is good news, Abeer and her family continue to struggle to survive under harsh conditions.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social giving another one of her patronizing lectures about rhetoric and the safety of Jews. How about the actual terrorism and genocide that Israel is carrying out against Palestinians and the entire Middle East? Not a word. #LetGazaLive #EndtheOccupation #StopArmingIsrael
Kirsten Gillibrand (who's in charge of electing more Senate Democrats) insists "9 out of 10 Democrats are pro-Israel."
8% of Democrats support Israel's war on Gaza.
75% oppose sending more military aid to Israel.
63% think the US supports Israel too much.
