Framing a violation of international law in the way of “4 easy steps to optimise your skincare routine” is a new level of ghoulishness.

A kind woman from Lahore, Pakistan, visited NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and moved him to tears with her messages of gratitude and hope.

She thanks the mayor for using his gift of empathy, which is a true gift capable of moving millions to work together and overcome the problems we collectively face.

Daily Mail confused again.

Not uncomfortable supporting women in Iran or calling out the regime’s digital blackout.

What is uncomfortable is the hypocrisy of those supporting genocide in Gaza while pretending to be champions of human rights.

Silent when journalists are banned.

“A diplomatic source said: 'The generals think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old'.”

That’s an insult to 5-year olds.

A dangerous and corrupt moron.
