"The #Torah tells us to take special care of our vulnerable demographics. Especially vulnerable are the “invisible tribe,” young orphans whose needs are overlooked, and who think that they are alone in their troubles.

Enter Links Family, the organization that services #children and #teens who’ve lost a parent. Over the past eight years, Sara Miriam Gross has #written dozens of #stories for the #magazine that Links publishes for its members. Stories that enable bereaved young #readers to recognize themselves, and gain validation and a vocabulary to deal with these new, uninvited situations. Now Menucha #Publishers has graciously shared her stories with the public in Invisible Tribe."

Hey #MAGA are you starting to see the light yet? Your #PedoInChief is destroying evidence of his crimes against children right now. How much longer will you allow him to continue this? If you really care about the #Children you should rethink things & quick.

"The UK government is facing a legal challenge over its decision not to medically evacuate critically ill children from Gaza, a move lawyers say starkly contrasts with Britain’s actions in other global conflicts"
"Campaigners have been urging the government to establish a dedicated immigration route for critical medical evacuations"
"To date, the UK has not offered itself as a receiving state for medical evacuations from Gaza"

Today in Labor History July 20 1877: In the midst of the Great Upheaval (AKA Great Train Strike), the Maryland state militia fired on striking railroad workers in Baltimore, killing over 20, including children. The strike had started on July 14, in Martinsburg, WV, at the B&O Railroad yards. It quickly spread into Charleston, WV and Baltimore and Cumberland, MD. In Baltimore, as the 5th Regiment marched toward Camden Station with fixed bayonets on their Springfield rifles, crowds attacked them with bricks. Miraculously, no serious injuries occurred. However, when the 6th Regiment began their march, the crowds drove them off with paving stones and fists. Without orders, they began firing at the crowd, killing several. When the two regiments met at Camden Station, the crowds again hurled stones and bricks, disabling locomotives, tearing up tracks and driving off the engineers. They set fire to railroad cars and buildings and cut the firemen’s hoses when they tried to douse the flames.

The Great Upheaval came in the middle of the Long Depression, one of the worst depressions the U.S. has ever faced. My novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill,” takes place in the years leading up to the Great Strike and is Part I of “The Great Upheaval” trilogy. I am currently working on Book II: “Red Hot Summer in the Smoky City.”

Why do French people want to have fewer children, or none at all?

In the last 20 years, the desire to have children has fallen sharply in France, according to a study published by the French Institute for Demographic Studies last week – and the country's birth rate is at its lowest since the end of the Second World War.

A 35-day-old baby in Gaza City and a four-month old child in Deir el-Balah died of malnutrition at al-Aqsa Hospital.

The mother was touching her body saying “I am sorry I could not feed you. I had no other options than to see you dying in front of my eyes”.

These are not the only two cases. There have been more in the past 72 hours. According to doctors at the hospital, they are receiving malnutrition cases every hour.

The #Children of #Gaza are #Starving

Heartbreaking scenes as dozens scramble for food amid worsening famine in #Gaza

The sounds of empty stomachs and starvation are heard screaming in the #Gaza Strip, but no one is listening.

In #Gaza, childhood searches through garbage for life.

Small children, with pale faces and eyes filled with sorrow, rummage through trash for scraps of food that might keep them alive. 🧵1/2👇🏻

“Systemic impunity creates an ultra permissive context where Israeli forces know no bounds and routinely shoot to kill Palestinian children in circumstances where there is no imminent threat to life."

“Unlawful killings of Palestinian children have become the norm as Israeli forces become increasingly empowered to use intentional lethal force in situations that are not justified. In short, these are war crimes with no consequence.”

More details on Israel’s killing of Palestinian child near Jenin

Qabha was hit by seven bullets – three in the back, one in the neck, one in the abdomen, one in the upper thigh and one in the groin – from a distance of 10m (33 feet).

Israeli soldiers then beat and detained the boy’s father, who had managed to reach his son, and prevented ambulances from reaching Qabha to provide medical treatment.

By starving Palestinian children, depriving them of education and health care, the occupier aims to achieve one goal: creating a fragile generation, weak in mind and constitution, unable to think, and with no horizon other than searching for food, drink, and shelter.

This means a generation that is unable to defend the right to its land and stand up to the occupier.

The main issue with freeing the kids, is that kids cannot vote. This is not un-doable. With slaves, slaves could not vote. But there were enough non-slaves that agreed that slaves should be freed. So it passed through. With women rights until some point in time women couldn't vote too. But there were e...
