While Trump vilifies Somali Americans and dehumanizes an entire community, a young man in Minnesota risked his life to save a school bus full of children. You'd be honored to have a Somali family as neighbors. Thank you Ebro Ahmed. May Allah bless and protect you.

Replit is officially in London. 🇬🇧
As we open our first international office here today, we’re honored to mark this important milestone with @MayorofLondon, Sadiq Khan and his team, His Majesty’s Government, The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and London & Partners.
London will be the hub for our European operations as we expand our work with small businesses and enterprises, helping more people turn ideas into working products with AI. The city's deep talent, diverse skills base, universities and base for leading AI companies made it ideal for us.
We are also partnering with TLMA which supports young Londoners not in education, employment or training (NEET) on a pilot for upskilling.
This is just the beginning. We’re here to build in London and build with London!

We’ve been covering settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank for years.
But yesterday, we found ourselves on the menu.
A group of masked settlers beat our team and pummelled the 51 year old woman we were interviewing unconscious.
We’re all ok now - and Aida is out of the hospital - but this is just one incident among an unprecedented surge in settler violence across the West Bank.
Here’s out story on yesterday’s attack on Sunday Today on @NBCNews.

I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

✨ Most Unique Design — Letters from the Wild by M Saab (@msaabiam)
A boundary-pushing calligraphy and graphic art tool inspired by the moon, waves, wolves, and the wild.
What we liked: unlike anything we'd seen. A mysterious "Where the Wild Things Are" vibe, a blinking eye, custom fonts you can play with to make your own assets.

Falling Slowly
I'm heartbroken to hear of the passing of Glen Hansard. His music has been the soundtrack to my life for as long as I can remember.
This was one of the very first pieces I shared here during the Covid pandemic. I remember how nervous I felt posting it. Not long afterwards, I received a message from Glen himself telling me he loved my version. Those few kind words, coming from an artist I admired so deeply, meant more than I can say. They gave me the confidence to keep sharing my music, and they played a significant part in the path that followed.
So many evenings were spent lying on the floor of my cottage beside the fire with my dog Nisha, listening to Glen's songs. I still can't quite believe he's gone.
This is Falling Slowly from the film Once. Glen and his co-star, Markéta Irglová, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2008.
The world feels quieter today. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and to everyone whose life was touched by his music. I'll be listening to his songs for the rest of my life.

We continue to follow with concern the events unfolding in various countries torn apart by war and violence. Let us not forget those who are suffering and dying because of these conflicts, and let us add our constant prayers to the generous efforts for #peace.
