Imagine a tent measuring 4 x 4 and 11 people live in it.
I am Maryam, a children's teacher from the Gaza Strip. I am 35 years old. I am married and have two children, Muhammad and Mahmoud. I am now five months pregnant. I was living happily with my husband and children in our beautiful home ๐น until October 7th came and the war on Gaza began ๐
Because of the war, I lost everything: my home, my work, and my husband's work. We became homeless and because of death that always haunts us. I was displaced with my husband and children with all the feelings of fear and pain ๐ fleeing the bombing and under the showers of bullets, walking on foot in search of a safe place to take shelter in ๐ญ. We did not find any place to take shelter in and we spent a few days under the showers of rain without shelter. We now live in a tent that does not protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter.
Life has turned into a mixture of suffering, pain, and searching for a living. My children suffer from diseases constantly due to the polluted water and widespread diseases. My children were infected with hepatitis. I faced many difficulties. My house was demolished ๐ฅบ and my husband lost his job, which was Our livelihood, my family home and my childhood were destroyed and we were left with nothing. Memories were erased and because of the repeated deaths we were displaced for the third time amidst the bombing and destruction. My beautiful city has become a place of ghosts, unfit for life.
We are now homeless and without a livelihood๐ญ๐
Please help me so that I can leave the Gaza Strip with my children and husband and we can live in peace. Help me to rebuild my life, to restore my children's childhood, help me so that I can provide a decent life for my children and husband๐๐โค

We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what youโre doing, before you make any more calls or read any more social media posts, please populate the Federal Register with dissent.

May 11th, 1985: American activist Aubri Esters was born.
Esters was one of the most important early names in harm reduction advocating. The harm reduction movement emphasizes decreasing stigma and harm of various behaviors without requiring total abstinence--often in regards to drug use or sexual activity. Today, harm reduction is typically considered both the most effective way to address drug use, and the most dignified for the people it helps.
Esters herself was a drug user, in her own words, "a person who happened to use drugs". She benefitted from available services, notably methadone access (methadone relieves opioid cravings, allowing people with addiction to function). She saved many lives by carrying naloxone (Narcan, used to reverse the effects of opioids during an overdose).
Esters was a disabled trans woman. She was a drummer. She pioneered and fiercely advocated for people in her community, and changed the opinions of politicians on drug users.
