At 17, Haya is no stranger to war. On again, off again, it was a frequent part of her childhood, but this time it has brought her to the brink of despair. When it started, she was studying, but her school was one of many destroyed in the bombardment.
Growing up in Gaza – one girl’s story of survival
At 17, Haya should be studying and looking forward to a bright future. Instead, she's struggling to keep her family alive

America's descent into suppression of dissent 🧵
I've been tracking Trump's actions since Jan and have included 93 actions that I consider to suppress dissent.
They fall into 4 domains and their use is quite different over time. 1/16

If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament.
Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population — 34 million people.
Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused “incalculable damage” to our society.
This is a lie. It’s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet — not migrants.
