“Sleep hygiene” as touted by my psychiatrist, sounded like an unjustified “should” when I felt incapable of it. That, however, is a more neurotypical perspective. As someone with ADHD who has trouble “staying on task“, what I get out of sleep hygiene is mindfulness and flow.

The world is still watching fake news. I’m an Arab, and I’m telling the truth about Israel.
Don’t believe everything you see. Share the truth. Let the world hear it.

In case anybody needs to hear this: attacking Jews, whether verbally or physically, does not help the Palestinians.
“Out of nowhere, he started beating me viciously and bit my ear"
“We have injuries all over our bodies, everything is swollen. We went through what felt like a terror attack. It was horrifying.”
An Israeli 🇮🇱 mother, 62, and her daughter, 23, were brutally beaten in Thailand 🇹🇭 by a French 🇫🇷 tourist.
“He started beating me viciously,” the mother said. “My daughter tried to protect me and was beaten too. We both fought him. I was hit in the head, and at some point I apparently lost consciousness.”
The two women were on the Thai island of Koh Phangan when they were approached by a French national asking where they were from. When they said Israel, he became irate and demanded a debate.
They told him they did not want to discuss Israel/Palestine, and he appeared to walk away, after stating he was "against violence." Then he launched himself at the mother and started biting her ear and punching her until she lost consciousness.
Attacking women on vacation will not help Palestinians. Everyone silent about this violence isn't helping anyone, either.
All you are doing is harming innocent Jews.

When people act upon their hatred, it promotes violence. It stops them from hearing messages of peace and love, and that’s not a world that I would choose.
In NYC, two synagogues were targeted and covered in motor oil and feces.
I want you to tell me something: can you even imagine hating a group of people so much that you would take the time to do this? Because I can't.
But every day, people with that much hate in their hearts are being told that their disgusting behavior is the lesser evil.

Sylvester Stallone on standing for the Jewish people:
“People don’t know this, but in my family there are Jewish roots on my mother’s side. My mother, Jackie Stallone, was born Jacqueline Labofish. That family story has always reminded me that the Jewish people have gone through centuries of struggle, persecution, and resilience… and yet they are still standing.
When I think about that, I feel respect. A lot of respect.
The story of the Jewish people is the story of perseverance. From the ancient patriarchs to the modern State of Israel, there is a chain of faith, identity, and survival that has withstood everything.
And I’ll say something clearly: antisemitism has no place in this world. Hatred against Jews is something humanity should have overcome a long time ago.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that supporting Israel and the Jewish people is not only a political issue. It’s about recognizing the history, the culture, and the right of a people to exist, live in peace, and feel proud of who they are.
If you are Jewish, be proud.
Your history is a story of survival, of faith, and of light.
And the world needs more light.”

I’m in @Israel. 1) in Haifa, I spoke to the shawarma guys in Arabic; 2) I spoke in Arabic to our Jerusalem driver; 3) I spoke in Arabic to the physician who saw me for my leg; 4) I spoke in Arabic to all of the hotel employees in Jerusalem.
Our interactions have all been friendly and warm. Israel really sucks in terms of its apartheid occupation.
ICE agents are terrorizing the citizens of Minnesota. Minnesota is so small, I bet you could fit like four of them in California.

This should not be real life, as this bears no resemblance to having a shred of human decency, but it is happening in America today. ICE must be stopped! @SenAdamSchiff @SenateDems @SenateGOP @AlexPadilla4CA @SpeakerPelosi @DHSgov @CBSNews @NBCNews @FoxNews @BBCWorld @UNICEFUSA
🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport.
Yesterday, agents rear-ended a car being driven by a 16-year-old, with her 15-year-old brother in the passenger seat.
Instead of calling a guardian, agents photographed the 15-year-old… and then took him.
The 16-year-old showed agents her U.S. passport…. But, that did not matter, they still handcuffed her and threw her into their unmarked car.
Both minors.
Both unaccompanied.
Detaining children, ignoring proof of citizenship, and hauling minors away, after rear ending the car they were driving, is not immigration enforcement.
That is child trafficking.
And it’s happening in broad daylight by the Trump administration.
Share this.
Document everything.
Demand accountability.
Because if federal agents can do this to kids with a passport, no one is safe.
