In this video, a young Gazan girl Janna was doing a little video of her hairstyle and what things she used to do it, unaware that her camera would soon capture one of the hardest moments of her life. As she was speaking with spontaneity, something unexpected and unfortunate happened.

Janna lost her mother and her two sisters, Manal and Lian, in a fire in 2020, then her father in a strike during the war, and only her little brother Omar remains.

A tiny forest observer, peeking out as if making sure no one has spotted it. Hidden between the leaves, perfectly blending into the surroundings, quietly waiting for its moment. In the tropical tangle, the most beautiful encounters are often the unexpected ones.

When journalists carry water for the Trump regime by calling its Ukraine-surrender-or-else order a peace plan they are committing pure malpractice.

But they're all doing it.

At least put "peace" in quotes, ok?

While Trump is ordering the FBI to investigate U.S. Senators over a video reminding military members they don’t have to follow illegal orders, it might be worth noting that “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

FFS. For the first time, non-citizens will be charged a hefty surcharge to enter US national parks (an extra $100/person, and annual passes for noncitizens will cost $250 instead of $80).
