actionnetwork.orgBread Not Bombs | Let the Children Eat As of May 5, 2025, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirms: “The humanitarian response in Gaza is collapsing.  Children are dying of hunger and dehydration.” This is not a famine. It is mass starvation by design, carried out in real time in front of the entire world. This is the moral test of our time.

I uploaded a bunch of videos to document the utter hell my neighbors - and the apartment complex management - have put me through so that the manager and his supervisor can no longer say "we don't know who to believe!" Because of course every time I've complained about the noise and trash, the assholes go over there and claim I'm harassing them and making child pornography. I'm sorry, WHAT?
