I hope/pray this very flawed ‘deal’ from Trump that Hamas & Israel agreed to ends the genocide & famine & leads to a real ceasefire.

But my biggest fear is there is nothing and no one to stop Netanyahu from resuming the genocide once they get all the hostages back and Trump has his Nobel Prize.

Q: With soybeans, what is the plan to help farmers? Is it direct checks?

TRUMP: What happens with soybeans is uhhh, we're gonna see more and more I think opening up and part of the reason-- he's got things that he wants to discuss with me and I have things I want to discuss with him

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Kristi Noem: "I was in Portland and met with the governor and mayor and chief of police and superintendent of the highway patrol. They are all lying and disingenuous and dishonest people. Because as soon as you leave the room, then they make the exact opposite response."

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

It’s astonishing how many ignorant people there are. That many of their very own fathers and mothers, and grandparents had fought to save democracy - anti-fascists aka Antifa - in WWII. My dad was one. He’d be mortified that some of his own kids voted for Trump. This one didn’t though💙
