To Ms. Shirley Raines, thank you.

Thank you for being brave enough and vulnerable enough to take your personal pain, then have the audacity to transform it into something MAGICAL. You took a crushing and life-altering loss then used your own grief, resources, diligence, courage, creativity, and persistence to transform an entire community.

Thank you, Ms. Shirley Raines.

Thank you to your son you lost, for allowing us to borrow you on this journey. And what an exquisite journey you made it. We know you struggled with your own loss and setbacks, but the way you remodeled your energy was magnificent, maternal, and endless.

You may have lost your most precious soul, but you helped nurture countless souls that didn't even know they needed you, specifically. You brought a bubbly smile, signature style, and energy that helped make people remember to live and be present. Your joy, passion, and purpose to serve love & empathy is what made you a human firework... Colorful, bold, special, bright, and took up the space with light wherever you landed to glow.

Thank you, Ms. Shirley Raines.

My prayer and deepest manifestation for your effervescent & boundless soul, is that your son received you. I hope that however you transitioned, you felt the peace, comfort, and joy you brought thousands of people in tenfold. I hope that everything you've worked diligently for, will be continued in the manner & quality of life you breathed into it. May your next journey be filled with rest, abundance, pure light, and the comfort of your son.

We didn't have you long enough, but for the time that we were blessed to have you?

Shirley Raines, we will continue to speak your name with a smile and the same love you dispersed so eloquently. You did your work. Your work moved mountains, souls, and healed holes in so many.

Congratulations on an outstanding shift on this planet. You are one of one.

Thank you, Shirley Raines and of course we send comfort, restoration, and energy of clarity to her team, loved ones, and those who will miss her presence.

Probably about to lose some followers and I don't actually care.

I read comments from someone today - for probably the 10,000th time - telling a trans person "umm you know actually, you know, you can't actually change your sex and you are delusional."

I want to talk to those of you who say such things. Because, I know you think you are right, and I know you think you are being helpful.

You are not.

You do not know thing one about gender dysphoria or about how these people have struggled. You take a thing that is perfectly normal for you - being at peace in your own gendered body - and you weaponize it against people who have never had that peace. And you tell them that they are wrong for wanting what you just naturally have, that they are broken, that they are delusional, that they need therapy, etc. Or worse, you insinuate or say that they are predators and fetishistic sickos.

You lack even a basic understanding.

They know they can't make their DNA the opposite sex. They just want their body to be more in alignment with what they have yearned for and longed for, in almost every case, since early childhood. They have a lifetime of listening to people like you communicate to them about how weird / wrong / stupid / delusional it is for them to feel the way they do... and yet they still do.

The movement against trans people is not reasoned or principled the way you think it is, and that's true no matter how much you insist it nor how deeply felt that belief you have is. You are not helping.

Listen to me - just listen:

These are people. Almost every one of them has felt this basic disconnect since they were children. Many if not most have already struggled with and fought over it for years before they ever get to the point of even daring to speak it, to say nothing of taking hormones and transitioning. They almost all universally have had the therapy that you think will cure them, and it didn't. Almost all of them have spelunked through their own self-doubt / self-loathing / fear / disgust / hopelessness... just to cobble together a fragile truce that lets them breath enough to even acknowledge that what they are feeling is real.

Then along you come.

And you pile on them not only all your biases and misunderstandings and demands over who *they* should be, but all of your pseudo-scientific BS and your overgeneralizations and in some cases just your pure, selfish bigotry and nastiness... because they have finally, after all their torment and torture and doubt... finally gotten up the courage to stop hurting privately and the courage to start trying to heal.

So naturally, your response is what?

To make them suffer publicly.

With all due respect, may I suggest that f you cannot make peace with someone else living life in their bodies in a way that brings them the peace they have searched for since they were just littles.... that you, my friend, are the one with the problem.

It's not them, it's you.

They are not broken. They are not flawed. They are not bent, evil, horrible, etc.

This is a you problem. You deal with YOU. Don't deal with them, when the reality is that it's you who are bringing your baggage to the ball.

That's all I have to say... click that unfollow button now if you wish; just get on with it. I don't have time for games or for pretending.

That is all.

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military.

In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the 761st tank battalion, also known as the Black Panthers.

A year later, after Robinson boarded an Army bus, the driver asked him to retreat to the back. Robinson refused -- more than a decade before Rosa Parks. Robinson was court martialed and later acquitted.

He spent the rest of his military service at Camp Breckinridge, where he coached Army athletics teams. Robinson was honorably discharged in November 1944.
