⚡️The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Maria Corina Machado.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded it for "her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela."

On the October anniversary of the passage of the Iraq War resolution authorizing Bush (in 2002) to initiate that 20 yr interminable war, the ‘anti-war’ Pres Trump is sending American troops into the Middle East once again to support yet another foreign conflict…

history repeats…and we are all fools
X post: BREAKING via AP US says it's sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor Gaza ceasefire deal.

I saw a tiktok comment that said the only war in Portland is the war on rhythm... and they're not wrong.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Do I think this HAS to be this bleak

NOPE
It’s why I’m mad

Because remember when we cared about diversity for like twenty seconds

WE GOT THEM OUT

Had better comms and whole plans

but I am believing what is being DONE and said

not having rhetorical spins

The racism is okay with Dems

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...
Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."
