Palestinians refer to the locations where the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is distributing aid as "massacre sites” and “death traps" due to near-daily killings. But they are forced to visit because there is no other way to get food. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/pale... #Palestine #Israel

the thing about “why don’t you put her up for adoption?” said as a nasty joke about one’s sibling (as happened in an episode of The Righteous Gemstones) is that many of us #adoptees know we were in fact removed from our families because of the problems our existence posed for others.

America, I hate to say this but... you are like a pathological long term relationship that I don't want to end because I kinda like you, but you don't get me and it seems kinda like you are having a psychotic break right now and I don't know how to support you.

The sad reality is that the folks who come forward with care will not be remembered as much as the ones who choose to be silent or otherwise be apathetic to things going on. So many families and individuals are disconnected by the selfishness of apathy. It's awful the loud sounds of the quiet.
