Trump freezes all federal aid and grants throwing the entire country into chaos no one knows what programs are affected people could lose homes, jobs, medical care, etc. and the democrats hold a press conference about how Trump is defunding the police...

I do think with news of the ceasefire, everyone should read up on what the ceasefire actually means and what the different phases of the ceasefire are. here's a good source for what we know as of now:

Some of my initial takeaways are:

  • this ceasefire is temporary (as of right now, six weeks long). negotiations will continue but israel is not offering guarantees about continued non-violence. BDS remains important. be vigilant, keep pressure up
  • rafah crossing will open one week after the initial phase starts
  • israel will release 2000 prisoners
  • more aid will get to northern gaza, look out for ways you can help
  • if the second phase is initiated, israel will do a complete withdrawal from gaza. which means the initial phase will not include that. again i say: BE VIGILANT
  • if the third phase is reached, reconstruction will begin "under international supervision"
  • nothing is over, even if this is a relief. do not tape out, do not tune out.
  • pls still read the full article
