Quick #War warning:
The evacuation underway is *not* going to include everyone, but not everyone is staying because of ideology.
Yes, some believe Hamas when it says this is a 2nd "Nakba".
But 1.1 million people include many that the UN is sheltering in place, and everyone in hospitals who cannot be easily transported, along with their medics.
You *will* hear of more civilian casualties when the ground assault begins.
Because war is brutal.
Not because everyone who stayed "had it coming".
And as always...
Hug your loved ones.
Thank your lucky stars you're safe.
See about donating to a local food bank or similar organization of choice, if you have anything to spare.
Lean into the good that also exists in this terrible world.
Disconnect from online noise as often as you can.
Cultivate gratitude for the helpers.
Remember that these days will end... and that we can still decide the shape of those to come.

@MLClark We can always choose to be the reason the world is just that much better, and that is something!
