Russian drones crossed into Romania.

Back in 2001, I went to the Mihail Kogalniceanu airport just outside of Constanta.

We stayed where the Romanian 39th infantry regiment is.

If we still train with the Romanians there, we will shoot down any drones approaching our aircraft and or base.

Only he’s not writing to you. He is showing you exactly what is happening.

And he’s still here. Still alive. Still trying to survive genocide.

Can you see him? Can you hear him?

Will you help?

Hello my friends, how are you? I caught a heat stroke, or the flu, or covid. I swear I am sick and tired. My temperature is high. My body aches. I feel very dizzy. My bones ache.

Famine food is difficult in body, it needs to be eaten, vitamins, and my protein.

Please keep me in your prayers.

You may have seen videos like this on social media. This is is from https://www.instagram.com/doaa%5Fkhaled.98

People are being forced to leave Gaza City and to flee South if they don’t want to be killed in the carpet bombing of Gaza City the Israeli army has announced.
This is forced displacement. This is deportation. This is ethnic cleansing. This is erasing us.

Hello, my friends, please reassure me about yourselves.

I am fine and I have good news, praise be to God.

I found a place in the Al-Zawaida area in the middle of southern Gaza. It is a private land, but there is a personal rent payment.

We are 3 families: I will go, my family, including Shadi, Rasha and their son Khamis, and the family of my friend Fadi, the family of my friend, Muhammad, a private land. God willing, everything is fine. I will inform you of what will happen to me.

We left Gaza City but we don’t even know where we’re going. We’re just wandering and hoping to find a place to live. There’s not even enough space to pitch a tent. Nowhere.

Abeer’s husband, Ehab, and her children Tala, Zeyad, Mohmmed, and Talia, are stuck in North Gaza and need your help to survive Israel’s genocide.

Message I just got from her on Signal:

“Tonight they had to sleep on the street because they couldn’t find a place and had to return to North Gaza. They don’t have the money to rent even a small piece of land or to buy a tent.”

Please, if you can, help them raise funds to move and, if not, please share this so others might be able to.

Every minute in North Gaza means death.
The situation is getting worse with no safe place to go.

My husband is responsible for 45 family members, including the injured and his sister’s orphaned children. The cost of displacement is unbearable — transportation, a tent, and rent for land — and without support, we cannot evacuate.

Children are living in fear, the wounded cannot get treatment, and the most vulnerable are left behind because of poverty

Hello my friends
For more than 700 days I have been seeing scenes of pain and destruction. I am a mother who plays the role of both father and mother to protect my family. I try to feed my children. How can I bear the burdens of displacement and homelessness on my own?
I'm trying hard to hold on and keep going but I can't without your support.

Gaza is burning. Entire families are being erased, children live in constant fear, hunger, and trauma, and cities are turned into ashes. What is happening is not war—it is genocide in plain sight. The world cannot remain silent while Gaza is being destroyed. Every voice matters, silence is complicity. Stand up, speak out, and demand justice and freedom for Palestine.

Today I’m cooking a simple can of meat for my family here in Al-Shati refugee camp. We are exhausted and so tired of eating canned food every day, but under this ongoing war we have no other choice. Life has become a struggle just to survive.

With your support and donations, I can continue to provide for my family and, most importantly, help us evacuate safely to the south. Your kindness gives us hope in these dark times. 💔🙏

@aral

Today I went out searching for a place in the south… but I only found thousands of displaced families, tired faces, and tears. The bombing never leaves the sky above us, and hunger is tearing our bodies apart. There is no place left for us to run. We are exhausted… our lives have turned into slow death.
I cannot even afford to rent a small piece of land or buy a tent to shelter my children. You are our last hope… please, do not leave us alone

Time is of the essence for them to find relative safety in the South as Israel continues to commit genocide with the complicity of our governments in the West.

We feel trapped

Things are getting worse very fast in Gaza City.

We've been looking for a place to stay in the south of the Gaza Strip for more than 10 days but we found nothing.

Now we stand motionless and death is around us every minute.

I don’t know how this will end.

Salam my friends

I'm still alive, but every night is harder than the one before.

I heard my mother telling my aunt that yesterday was the toughest ever in our area.

I totally agree with her!

The positive side is that I successfully completed the English exam this morning and it was well ♥️ three exams left

This is a helpful and frightening perspective on why Americans have such different views of who Charlie Kirk was. Screenshot from FB; original poster's name is in the screenshot but I'm not typing it because she might not want it searchable outside FB:

"One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

"I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

"Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking. She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.

"I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person. My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be 'right'.

"None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didn't believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing, enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.

"Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived. Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story."
