Read this moving account from an Amnesty fieldworker in Gaza:
Gaza fieldworker: “We are torn apart watching our children suffer from hunger”
In this moving account, Amnesty International's fieldworker bravely shares how their hopes of a ceasefire have been torn apart. The reality of their lives is now truly unbearable. Their home has been destroyed, they are facing displacement once again and the little food that is available just isn’t enough. They’re hungry, worried and afraid of what’s next.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…
I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.

Well grocery shopping in our bigger town today. Eggs there and available but $ 5.29 a dozen, and gas $.20 a gallon higher than the last time I filled up less than a week ago. A $7.50 increase on my 5,000 mile oil change since last one.
