Good morning from Gaza.
We wake up to another day of resilience under harsh conditions—cold nights, scarce resources, and constant uncertainty. Yet the sun still rises, and with it our hope. Children try to smile, families hold on to dignity, and we continue to believe in life despite everything. Gaza greets the world with patience, strength, and an unbroken will to survive.

For those who don't know, the people of Gaza now live in only 36% of the area of the Gaza Strip "within the yellow line", meaning 62,000 people per square kilometer!!

Please help me with a donation. I have been living in tents for two years because of Israel's control of Rafah.

"I've watched that happen over and over and over again, including on 'our side' over the past dozen years as a lot of men learned a lot about gender politics as in how rape happens and who lies about it and how pervasive it is. Feminist activism in this period did a brilliant job in demolishing a lot of excuses, stereotypes, victim-blaming, and other misconceptions about rape that had been used to dismiss the reality and excuse the perpetrators."

"If there's one thing you should learn from the arc of a lot of news stories is that people do learn and change their minds. We've seen it very recently with opinions about Israel and Gaza, with attitudes toward immigration, and other important issues."

I like Rebecca Solnit's emphasis on optimism and the need for solidarity across boundary lines that might otherwise divide us on the liberal-progressive side of the ledger.

As a US Southerner, I find the optimism less easy to muster than people out West, whose historical experience is different from mine, might do. But I'm absolutely on board with Solnit's understanding of the need for soldarity and how to form it.

How Big Should Your Tent Be?

It's striking to me that a lot of people want politics to be about their personal feelings, in which case they're not engaged in politics, though they may be engaged in the sabotage of politics.
