My heart breaks every time I see a Palestinian account begging for money to help them survive this horrific genocide, knowing I cannot afford to offer anything. 💔

I mean, they're showing shit on Fox from years ago, representing it as if it's happening now because they know Fanta Fuhrer is SO easily manipulated. Hence his claim Portland is a war zone, and that they have no stores & all the windows are boarded up. 🤦‍♀️

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

The woman that was given the prize is a Trumper that thinks him murdering people by blowing up fishing boats is "visionary" and "courageous" & that she supports him doing it.

My GAWD, they didn't give the Nobel to Trump but gave it to a woman cheerleading his authoritarianism. 🤦‍♀️

Geeeeeezus. The woman they gave the Nobel to is a Trumper that says she supports Trump f*cking murdering people by blowing up boats he CLAIMS were running drugs, with NO due process. That ISN'T fighting against authoritarianism it's cheering it on. This is NOT a good look. WTAF? 🧐

I have family in Alberta. One has been trying to find work for years. Has been hired on at numerous jobs & within 6-8 weeks is laid off because it's always last in, first out, despite being one of the hardest workers on site because it's almost always temp work that these employers are looking for.
