Perhaps for the first time, Ramzi sees himself, his reflection in the mirror. He had never seen himself before, never realized just how beautiful and gentle he truly is. Today, it happened while we were on the road. He stopped me, drawn to the mirror, and started screaming and smiling with joy! I’ve never seen him this excited before. Naya held him and said, "That’s you, Ramzi, see how handsome you are?" Ramzi stood there, his eyes full of curiosity and wonder, looking at the child in the mirror—just like his movements, from another world—an innocent child, smiling and laughing, unaware of the death of hope surrounding us.
For the first time, Ramzi sees himself as we see him. For the first time, Ramzi touches his own reflection. He saw another side of himself in the mirror, perhaps the childhood he could have lived in better conditions. Maybe he saw the innocence that has been stolen from him by a war of extermination, amidst the sounds of explosions, the rivers of blood, and the rubble of homes!
A few brief moments, and we continued our way—me, Rita, Naya, and Ramzi—carrying with us Ramzi's smile. Will we ever return to how things were? Will Ramzi ever live a normal life?
Your support is what will make that life possible. Please, don’t stop supporting us. Don’t stop keeping our hope alive. ❤️

🚨 Footage of the Israeli army occupying Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza…
In the last images of the hospital director, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiyeh, and the doctors, they are seen with their hands raised, wearing their coats, as they are detained along with the hospital staff.
Injured patients, their relatives, and other civilians are also seen raising their hands as they exit the building.
Genocidal maniac Netanyahu is burning Palestinians alive, bombing hospitals, starving people, and killing aid workers.
When will our country stop funding this madness? When?
“Israel is exterminating northern Gaza���
“Israel is burning Palestinians alive”
“Israel bombs refugees in tents in central Gaza”
“Israel is blocking aid to deliberately starve civilians”
“Israel keeps attacking UN peacekeepers in Lebanon”
These are the headlines you won’t see
This is amazing. Right wing Silicon Valley money was able to take over the SF Dem Party.
The main one here, Chris Larsen, has spent over $20 million this year against Democrats, most notable Katie Porter and Jamaal Bowman.
In SF, he bought a whole party for a couple million.

The Israeli military is again escalating it’s US-backed genocide across all of Gaza. This morning, as starved Palestinians waited in line for humanitarian aid in central Gaza, the Israeli military bombed them. Israel soldiers massacred people seeking bread for their families. The death toll is still unknown.
She credited the student movement for her resignation. A reminder that the advocacy we are pursue every day is a reminder to push people to make the moral choice, to not ever enable genocide.
Several people were arrested at UC Irvine as a pro-Palestinian protest took a tense turn. A woman who said she is a professor at UCI spoke to reporters as she was being escorted off the campus: "We cannot have a genocidal foreign policy in a democracy.” https://t.co/MXtMT6Gc58
