I was talking to a girl in beyruth. She was concerned about her parents. She wanted to flee to jordan, but the planes are full. Here's the exchange.

hat's what I heard, these a-holes are putting warning that an area was gonna get bombed and then they bomb another place.

Do you know where to go? You have family abroad?

Yep. That sucks. Doesn't change that I'm voting for Kamala.

I'd rather her be in charge than Donald "Finish the Job" Trump.

What are you doing to push Harris to the left on this position? She needs to change, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it could cost her the election. If you're so worried about Trump winning, you need her to change on this.

Me? Not a whole lot if I'm being honest. I'm more focused on local issues in my deep red state to really worry about other things. "Put on your breathing mask before assisting others" or however the safety tag reads
