I saw this and thought we might all need a dose of encouragement. We are mentally exhausted. We feel anxious and helpless but we are smarter and stronger than they are! Take time to regroup and refresh. Then it’s time to resist stronger than ever!

These beautiful babies were brutally slaughtered by Hamas. The animals lack souls. They lied & sent an unknown body back in place of the babies’ mom, Shiri Bibas. I’m a Jewish American. Have some compassion & do not come for me. The grief is overwhelming.

This is how you care about the horror of Israeli Hostages and the humanity of the Palestinian people. If you can’t care for both, you are hijacked by hate. What happened today in Gaza is a level of sick depravity. It must be called out. 1/2🧡

This is good from Lewis on something I’ve been thinking about a lot this week: what if America is becoming not just an unreliable ally, but actively an adversary? A new hostile superpower?

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.
