A few days ago, the National Blood Bank of Sri Lanka said they were running low in the wake of the disaster and called for fifteen hundred donors to help them catch up. Twenty thousand people showed up. Today the Bank said, basically, thanks this is great but please stop now we are too full of blood

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I have raised £277. I am so thankful. I have found a return flight for £1209! When/if I raise £500, I will go ahead and by this ticket and pray to make up the difference. I so appreciate you all.
I have a big request. My baby cousin, 15, is in hospital, non-responsive. I'd like to see her one last time & am trying to fly across the ocean *tomorrow* to make this happen. It would cost about £2500 or £3300 dollars. If you're able to contribute, this is my paypal: paypal.me/riversandfam
Pay Rivers Solomon using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/riversandfam and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Been saying this for months. Messaging is not a buffet. Every time Dem leadership gets gulled into trotting out happy-clappy bipartisan talk because consultants said it polled well, people very reasonably conclude all that talk about Trump threatening democracy must just be disingenuous rhetoric.
"Donald Trump is a monster and we desperately want to work with him" is a batshit position to take, it makes you sound like an insincere and feckless empty suit

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
For the last couple of years much of the media has had the most incredible unwillingness to learn literally anything about JD Vance. Never seen anything like it. Active resistance to learning anything about his ideas.

They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
