“Sorry”

I was stopped in my tracks when I read this quote. “'The unborn' are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or

NEW: we don’t reflect enough on how severe the housing crisis is, and how it has completely broken the promise society made to young adults. The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has just accused Israel of war crimes, including collective punishment, forcible evacuations, attacks on medical facilities and personnel, as well as violating the obligation of an occupying power to ensure access to basic necessities.

Israel bombed my home! My parents spent 25 years working hard; living on a tight budget; & saving up every penny to afford it. My widowed mother wanted to sell it to pay for my siblings' college tuition & help them get on their feet. All my memories, everything we had... gone!

I just called my family. They haven't eaten since yesterday. My six-week-old nephew is crying because there is no milk( his mother trying to survive him as long as possible); his mother only has enough for three more days. People are desperately crying out for just bread. This is
