Gaza City residents forced to flee, then hunted down by air strikes

The military is sharply ordering people to leave their homes, but at the same time targeting them with sky-predator drones and quadcopters.

Those who manage to get to al-Rasheed Road and move towards central and southern Gaza face aerial surveillance and bombardment. Last night an army helicopter flew low and fired at the road causing mayhem and panic among displaced families.

I know it's just weird sentence structure, but it reads as if "behind a camera" is clarifying which one of them is Hugo, and it gave gave me flashbacks to this:

What does Thumb Down mean?


!Friendica Support
How should we use the Thumbs Down reaction emoji? To express our feelings about the content of the post (eg. oh god what has Trump done now) or to condemm the post itself as spam or inappropriate?

I've been afraid to use this thumbs down, but there are a lot of valuable posts I don't want to give a thumbs up to.

Are there any consequences to posts getting thumbs down i.e. are they flagged for moderator attention?

I'm with the mods here. Whatever arguments there are to be made about fair or unfair treatment doxxing them is completely unnecessary for making that case.

Just in the past few minutes, we had confirmation of a family evacuating on a road inside a vehicle when it was struck by a drone missile. Four people were reported killed on the spot.

Other people on the road rushed to the vehicle while it was still engulfed in flames, helping those who survived the attacks and transferring them to the hospital.

“We just want the bare minimum to survive and here in al-Mawasi we don’t even have that,”

“Even for water, we wait for hours just to get a single bucket.”

“We are piled on top of each other in a single tent – me, my husband, our six children, and my husband’s elderly parents – 10 people in a small tent. There’s no room to sleep in that cramped space … There’s no privacy.”

Americans wonder why tourism has plummeted when they have border officers like this.

I'm just glad I went and saw a rocket launch when I did.

The self-aware Americans are in no way surprised at the decrease in tourism. Some of us miss you all but if I didn't already live here there's no way in hell I'd bring my family here.

Stay home. Stay safe. ❤

in reply to Chad

Maybe Canada should hurry up and annex/liberate the US. Trump and Hegseth have made sure we don't have an effective military.

Sami dwelling

Traditional Sami dwelling made of turf with a few amenities: a window and, most importantly, solar panels. While most of these huts are now used as summer kitchens for smoking fish or baking bread, here an old herder prefers to live in his hut in summer rather than in a more modern house.

Which of these steps have you done?


ethicalrevolution.co.uk/ #ethicalrevolution #TheOnlyWayisEthics

I am working my way through them. Some I had already done to some extent but there are always useful tips.

Would anyone like to do this with me and share their journey?
