A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters
JOINT STATEMENT ON GAZA FROM AFP, AP, BBC NEWS AND REUTERS​ “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. ​ “Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them.​ “We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.”

I'm taking my kids out of school during any discussion of the Trump administration, because the lessons would depict lying, interracial marriage, adultery, divorce, polyester fabrics, murder and bribery, all forbidden by the Bible

MAGAs excuse Trump's "personal behavior" because of his accomplishments. Such as what? Destroying the economy? Making foreign wars worse? Eliminating healthcare? Shutting down small businesses? Attacking colleges? Where's the tradeoff?

Trump and Pete Hegseth have ordered that a naval ship named after civil rights icon Harvey Milk be re-named. Doing this is disgusting and clearly meant to send a message during Pride Month. Milk served in the navy but was discharged for being gay: he wasn't a 5-time draft dodger like Trump. Maybe the ship's new name can be the S.S. TACO

While Trump won't reveal the names of the "thousands of countries" allegedly calling him to negotiate, he has posted a photo of his "super-special big-boy negotiating phone"

What's the book that a teacher read aloud to you that made you understand what it meant to fall into a book wholeheartedly? To lose yourself in those spoken words. To laugh &, perhaps, cry.
