Please support my friend Hayat's campaign. Help her to feed and care for her children and save money for a better life. Israel has closed off the Rafah crossing entirely, which is the primary means of getting aid into Gaza.

America's greatest adversary? Kamala Harris says Iran is 'an obvious' answer - Breaking Defense Analyst Becca Wasser told Breaking Defense the vice president's answer may not "comport" with the current Pentagon strategy but reflects the reality of the shorter-term geopolitical landscape.

πŸ˜‚... This Kamala Harris would never go to war with Iran?
Both parties support empire. 100%.

Israel has fully closed the Rafah crossing, through which most aid to Gaza passes, as part of the U.S./Israeli attacks on the region. If you can help Hayat and her babies, please share.πŸ™πŸΎ

Paperback Full Cover for THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS written by Jendia Gammon, publishing April 7, 2026 via Sley House Publishing. Cover art by Chris Panatier.

A red and gold border design of dragons facing each other. Three humans stand between the border: on the left, a young Black man, Prince Beaumain, with turquoise eyes and reddish hair bound by a silver crown, wearing grey, blue, and silver house colors and silver dragon brooch for his country, Catellaith; he holds a silver dagger. In the center, a white young woman, Princess Githilien, aka Thilly, of Vickery, wearing a turquoise and copper dress and spiky golden crown, holding a silver and red sword upside down; she has long, curly auburn hair, hazel eyes, and smirks. On the right, a tanned white man with grey eyes, short beard, and longish, lank, golden brown hair, wearing a ranger’s clothes and holding a sword.

Behind the three figures, the sky is blue with rosy clouds; along the bottom of the image is a dark, fog-like mass creeping between them.

The sky scene continues on the back of the book (left side of the image).

They remain "laser focused" as a way of managing (i.e., diminishing) our expectations.

If they were to focus on, say, imminent war, ongoing war crimes, folks losing their jobs or being snatched off the streets and jailed, then we might get our hopes up, might be harder to control or satisfy. πŸ€”

One good thing about the current era is that you don't have to argue with people about the fact that white supremacy and racism permeate every aspect of US society. Everyone knows it and some even admit it.

Everything I hear suggests Palestinians in Gaza are as desperate now as they've ever been. IDF murder and demolition continues, only limited aid is allowed in, winter cold is setting in, and Western press has largely dropped the story.
When you see survival campaigns here, please boost and share.πŸ‰
