G morning🤎
I was talking to my friends @aral @fabio @riverbirchtree
To give me an advice to register my sis
@Nourfuturedr in medical uni. She recently graduated from high school with an excellent GPA.
The matter’s hard for me; I cover the expensive rent for my family, my uni fees, the fees for my brother who is studying engineering, &costs of food &drinks.
I decided to launch Nour's w all my strength to secure $2,500 to register

A group of philanthropies is putting $300 million into developing life-saving solutions as global temperatures continue to rise and more than a half-million people worldwide die from heat-related causes every year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/14/climate-change/climate-health-fund-cop30/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #aid #climatechange #heatwaves #cop30 #brazil

The #Trump admin has developed plans for a shift in #homelessness #policy that would slash support for long-term housing programs…& critics say it could place as many as 170k formerly #homeless people at risk of returning to the streets.
Pivoting from #housing #aid, the approach would shift billions to short-term programs that impose work rules, help #police dismantle #encampments, & require [force] the #unhoused to accept treatment for mental health or addiction.

The expected shift, which would be the most consequential in a generation, is detailed in a 100pg notice from #HUD, slated for release in coming days, that would govern >$3.5 billion in Continuum of Care funds, the main source of federal money for #homelessness.
While #Trump has long pledged to pursue tougher homelessness policies, such as camping bans & treatment mandates, the long-anticipated document, reviewed by NYT, outlines changes that would go much deeper & faster than expected.
By cutting #aid for permanent #housing by TWO-THIRDS next year, the plan risks a sudden end of support for most of the people the Continuum places in such housing nationwide, beginning as soon as January. All are #disabled — a condition of the aid — & many are 50 or older [WTF?]. The document does not explain how they would find housing.

🍼💓Hello!! On this wonderful evening I’m asking for help. Our friend Mai in Gaza is scheduled to give birth via c-section tomorrow. We urgently need to raise £1000 for her c-section, diapers, medication, and other basic needs.
We’re at 385/1000 as I’m posting. I know we can make this goal! Please share!

1006/1500 for a pregnant single mom in Gaza! We have to raise this in the next 20 hours so she can receive her c-section and care afterwards, plus baby supplies.
