@jmolmud thank you for this update. any news?

CHP is here, telling protesters they are here to let people off the coast guard base and asking the protest to step aside. Protesters asking why they need such a large show of force for a dwindling number of protesters.

Here outside Coast Guard Island where protesters continue to post up at the entrance Just saw 15-20 CHP cars roll through, will update as I find out more.

genuinely!! how does everyone have time to take care of your body, cook, read, clean, hang with friends and family, make art, and enjoy television/films when you’re not working 40+ hours a week?!!!

This Christmas, once again, we find ourselves reflecting on the meaning of Christmas through the image of Christ in the Rubble. Christ is still under the rubble in Gaza, as children are still being pulled from under the rubble in Gaza. It is heartbreaking that we are still calling and pleading for a ceasefire. Decision makers seem to be content with this war continuing as long as it has. They have decided that Palestinians are dispensable. 44700 killed (not including those under the rubble), including close to 17500 children. 87% of housing units are damaged. Thousands are physically handicapped. Millions are traumatized. It is literally hell on earth in Gaza. How many more need to be sacrificed before decision makers decide enough in enough? We insist: we see the image of Jesus in every child killed. They are precious to God. May we unite this Christmas in lighting a candle for Gaza, and particularly for the children of Gaza. This is beyond symbolism. Let us unite in prayer, and commit ourselves to the cause of ending this genocidal war. We cannot stop talking about Gaza. We can stop advocating. Most importantly, we will not lose our faith and hope in God and the goodness and justice of God.
