I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity. It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

cbsnews.com

Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve

Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

Been awhile since I shared a poem

A Poem:

Cosmology

Is this tightness in my chest, this pressure in my skull,
these salty tears irritating my cheeks, this planet stuck
in my throat leaping to escape, are these the fuel stars burn?

I sometimes see an image in my mind, a beautiful starscape
silent as the night, the rapid beating of my heart finally
slowed, my guilt absolved, my needs met in perpetuity.

I can see stars when I close my eyes.
I can feel their heat on my skin.

I see the stars painted across a canvas,
beautiful and sparkling, but in my heart I feel the bitter
cold of the vacuum in between; the breathless silence
that these images contain.

but just like the stars,
the more I burn
the smaller,
frailer, I
become;

until I burn brightly,
or burn up.

my mind must be stars
for it to create life like it does,
to see the soul in every image,
to hear the heartbeat in every sound.

My mind is the stars and the space in between.
My mind is the moon on a glowing nightscape.
My mind is the canvas and the stars are my paints.

I see the stars, this image in my mind–
a beautiful painting. A terrifying reality.
A piece of art that must never be life:

a new canvas, paints squeezed out
by a gun, still smoking–
stars splattered across the bathroom wall.

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT
Islam's holiest day is marred by grief and peril as Gaza marks Eid al-Adha
Rather than the ritual sacrifice of a lamb, a Palestinian man told NBC News, "We sacrifice the blood of martyrs. We sacrifice our sons, our daughters, and our mothers."

"This is not an Eid of joy; it is an Eid of mourning and death," Ahmed Darwish, displaced from Rafah to west Khan Younis, told NBC News as he stood beside the graves. "Our children and women are in pieces.
Instead of sacrificing animals, we collected body parts this morning."
On Eid, Israeli strikes continued as families wept by the bodies of their loved ones, killed before celebrations could begin.
Reda Abdel Rahim Eljara told an NBC News team that Israeli air strikes had already killed her husband and one of her sons. On the first day of Eid al-Adha, she lost two more sons and her daughter-in-law.

Umm Ahmad Al-Qatati said her son, Omar, 11, was shot as he left his tent to shower and get ready for a visit to see his father.
"He was so excited for Eid morning, but they sent him to the morgue instead," she said. "Instead of celebrating Eid, he went to be with his Lord."

These mothers fought for their sons killed by police. Now they’re fighting for the country.
