Slow your heart rate.

Jared Kushner and Donald Trump at Davos hailed “historic aid” entering Gaza during Phase One of the so-called ceasefire, even as Israel and the United States block almost all shelter assistance entering the besieged territory — likely to maximize Palestinian suffering and drive displacement, Palestinians say. Ten children have frozen to death as a result. See new posts Conversation Ahmed Al-Najjar @Ahmed_A1Najjar This is Ali Abu Zour, 3 months old infant who succumbed today to hypothermia in Gaza. Let the world know that the "peace" Trump has achieved is this— a concentration camp where BABIES freeze to death.

The world needs to wake up to the fact that the Russians have created a massive humanitarian crisis in Ukraine by continuously bombing civilian infrastructure in an attempt to freeze Ukrainians into submission. And there are no convoys of UN trucks carrying humanitarian aid queuing at the border!
80% of Ukraine faces emergency power cuts following Russia's overnight aerial attack, focused on Kyiv
One person was killed, and another four were reported injured in Kyiv as Russia launched a mass attack on the capital overnight on Jan. 24, officials reported.

This sign I made came today. Glad it did so I have something I can do besides throw money at mutual aid and streetside orgs. I hope the ICE agent neighbors down the street see it and their nazi tears freeze to their faces.
An orange sign that reads "we stand with our neighbors, no ICE." There is a monarch butterfly on it too.

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on January 21, 2026 imposed sanctions targeting six Gaza-based organizations and the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, accusing them of covertly supporting the military wing of Hamas rather than providing genuine humanitarian medical services. The sanctions freeze assets and bar dealings under U.S. law. Hamas sharply condemned the decision, calling it unjust and saying it was based on incitement by the “criminal Zionist entity” waging an open war against Palestinians. Hamas said the sanctions would “further entrench the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip,” and urged Washington to reverse the measures, open crossings, allow aid and shelter supplies, and enable the national committee to carry out its work.

At least seven infants have died this winter in Gaza. Displaced babies freeze in soaked tents as Israel’s blockade blocks essential aid.

This is how Israel is freezing Gaza’s babies to death.

The Trump administration’s move to restrict federal funding puts Colorado families at risk. CCCAP helped 27,598 kids last year and TANF supports 47,000 children living in deep poverty. If this freeze isn’t fixed aid will run out in less than a month, hurting families and threatening providers.

Everyone deserves a warm place to sleep at night, especially in the brutal cold of winter, but as aid is blocked from entering Gaza, my friend Shereen's brother and family freeze in the cold wet conditions.

But with your help they can sleep in dignity at least.
Will you help?

Secretary Rubio said food & lifesaving aid would continue under Trump’s foreign aid freeze.

Instead, cuts pushed pregnant women & children in Kenya toward starvation.

Local anti-poverty groups have had to scramble and scale back this year as the Trump administration targeted safety-net programs. They are bracing for what may come next.

Hamas and the Palestinian Authority pay their citizens to murder Jews. It not a new policy, US legislation, known as the Taylor Force Act, after a former US army officer who was stabbed to death by a Palestinian assailant while visiting Tel Aviv in March 2016, was passed by the House in 2017.
"Under the Palestinian Authority's "pay for slay" program, Mahmoud Abbas pays stipends to convicted terrorists and their families. That includes the attackers in this morning's deadly bus attack in Jerusalem. Think your foreign aid budget is safe?" -Elyon Levy "Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas tells the Western countries to shove it, he wont stop using Western foreign aid to pay salaries to Palestinian terrorists for murdering Jews in the name of Islam: "We will continue to pay the families of Martyrs,..." "PA (Palestinian Authority) will pay $2,789,430 to families of 1,500 dead Hamas terrorist murderers, this month Oct 15, 2023 In addition, the PA will pay $17,590 in salaries to 50 new Hamas prisoners, this month..." "congress was already working to freeze assistance to the Palestinians until the PA discontinues its practice of paying monthly stipends to the families of terrorists who kill Israelis. This legislation, known as the Taylor Force Act, after a former US army officer who was stabbed to death by a Palestinian assailant while visiting Tel Aviv in March 2016, was passed in early December by the US House of Representatives after the legislation went through a number of rounds of revision. The legislation now needs to be passed by the Senate. In its 2017 budget, Ramalla allocated nearly $345 million for the contentious stipends. In total, it expectedc $693 million in foreign assistance for the 2017 fiscal year."

They made similar scare stories before, predicting Europe would freeze and starve. None of it happened, and neither are these new claims.
