3.5 year old ran down one of the twins to say sorry for knocking her down (progress!). He knocked her down again when she stopped suddenly, sister smacked his tummy, both crying. Her twin is licking bbq sauce off the table from lunch. I’m behind on work.

The Netanyahu government’s extermination of Gaza intensifies. Malnutrition is rampant, children are starving to death, people are shot while waiting for meager food rations — and US weapons allow it to happen.
Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.
