My colleague @sarahesmith23.bsky.social at @houstonchronicle.com wrote an incredible article about a boy from Gaza coming to Houston to heal, among few people permitted a medical evacuation. A must read. Gift link: www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

the real winners are the people using someone else’s netflix account
