16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial.
I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family.

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.
In genocide, thoughts devour people.
Whoever doesn’t die from the bombing, the fire, the cold, the hunger, the humiliation of the tent, or illness… will be eaten alive by their own thoughts and die.

I really think the most important things to evaluate about Signal if you are not in a group chat of encryption experts are:
1. How secure is every device in the group chat?
2. How safe from harm is every person in the group chat?
3. How much trust is there between every person in the group chat?
