Ahmed's family is still crying out for the basic support they need for his care. Treatment he needs is cheap by Western standards, only $140. So there's no reason he should lack for this. This boy's life is in danger & you see him every day. His family feels so helpless. Please boost & give.

look at Ibrahim's tiny arm, my god. some people put up their tents on public land and don't pay rent. some people put up their tents on privately owned land, and must pay for the "privilege" of putting up their tent there. Bara'a's expenses are endless. please help her. bit.ly/support-baraa
A rectangular graphic of a night sky, with a galaxy and some bright stars shining in the background. In the center, an oval framed photo of a young woman, Bara’a in a dark blue hijab and black surgical mask, bent over a small boy, Ibrahim, lying on a large hospital bed. He has dark brown hair and brown skin, he’s wearing a white surgical mask and a brown t-shirt, and has an IV stuck into his small, skinny left arm. His eyes are closed and Bara’s hands are resting on his left hand and his right cheek.
Text:
Save Ibrahim’s Life!
Bara’a has lost two daughters, and little Ibrahim is all she has left. But he is very ill, and needs regular, expensive medical treatments.
A weekly or monthly pledge of any amount helps ensure he stays alive. Please, extend this dear family some mercy.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

In the NYT's third headline, the perjury scheme finally gets top billing: "Mr. Schmitt focused on the basketball game in the hopes that he could show Mr. Smith had perjured himself and was involved in a conspiracy with local Atlanta prosecutors to ensnare Mr. Trump." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

From Jane Doe’s complaint:
"122....the dangers of fraternities were so widespread in the decade before her arrival that they had been ranked as the 'sixth worst risk for insurance companies-just behind hazardous waste disposal companies and asbestos contractors.' So dangerous were their activities that their commercial insurance carriers declined insuring them any further.
"123. National fraternities and sororities and their executives knew that fraternity chapters and members were incapable of responsibly managing the provision, use and misuse of alcohol and drugs in fraternity houses, during recruiting, and at Greek sponsored events.
One fraternity executive and industry leader confirmed that 99% of insurance claims were related to the misuse of alcohol. Fraternity recruiting events with alcohol would eventually be labeled by another fraternity executive and industry leader as being the
'deadliest nights!"

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?
