Hello everyone, I'm Mohammed from Gaza.

At the beginning of this year, I turned 25, and I finished my studies this year. I'm a student in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, majoring in Computer Science. I completed my studies, but I haven't been able to receive my diploma due to accumulated fees, which I can't pay because of the current situation. We can barely afford our daily bread.

This is my personal struggle, because I feel as though I haven't finished my studies, and that all those years of study have been for nothing. I can't continue my education, nor can I even find a job, and this is one of the biggest challenges in Gaza.

As for my family, we desperately need to replace our tent's coverings. They've been exposed to the summer heat and winter rains, and they're made of plastic and are very worn out. The sun's rays that enter the tent all day make it feel like an oven.

This is just a small glimpse of what we endure in Gaza. The suffering here is almost immeasurable, because every day brings new hardships. Therefore, I ask everyone who reads this post to help me share it so my voice reaches as many people as possible, and to contribute whatever they can, no matter how small.

Thank you all.

Darin Von Ruden is a Farmers Union leader who represents a tradition of rural populism. He isn’t a Trump supporter, but he also isn’t an AOC-style progressive. His politics are rooted in advocating for family farms, independent producers, rural communities, cooperative economics, and pushing back against corporate monopolies. That’s a distinct political tradition that’s often misunderstood when people apply today’s partisan labels.

Trump doing Tariffs and multiple invasions/wars have caused inflation to go up on energy and critical minerals. This is why people are mad about inflation and the GOP's actions.
