I listened to the full leaked one direction song and I feel like I was flung 13 years into the past. Like I'm genuinely not okay

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I am well that the reason I don't like friends to lovers is because I've only ever developed feelings (romantic and sexual) towards people who bad been my friends for a while and it never worked out because by that point we were already good friends and the window of opportunity had passed

They changed my schedule at work without asking me again and I'm not having it. I really really don't give a single fuck that the other assistant "doesn't like math" I'm not going to jeopardize the progress my students are making for your comfort. You're an adult, grow the fuck up.

I've lost enough hope that I don't care about school, it took me 2 hours to get a passport photo approved (I cried), I don't want to read, and it feels stupid to care about any of that when Palestinians are facing genocide, israel continues to commit war crimes, and the US falls deeper into fascism.

I would like to not have to live paycheck to paycheck anymore but with the salary freeze nobody in my district is getting a raise for the foreseeable future. Oh to work in a field that isn't education and is stable 😮‍💨

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Si un turista israelí se comporta así con unos voluntarios de UNICEF en Milán imagina cómo actúan sabiéndose impunes un colono robando casas y tierras en Cisjordania o un militar asesinando niños en Gaza. O todo un estado poderoso como el israelí con su maquinaria genocida perfectamente engrasada.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

If you are a Congressional Democrat, why would you fund this government that is antithetical to every last letter of our Constitution? The compact that held our democracy together is a dead letter because Republicans broke it. We have no state that's worth the loyalty of a free American any longer.
