Humanitarian. Into good books and weird art. Views are my own.
Aid work right now is like high schoolers comparing who’s applying to which college. Except instead of “omg yes let’s both go there” it’s “omg no we’re not both competing for that job are we?”

I’m watching some old episode of West Wing and Tobey is arguing with someone trying to abolish the NEA.
“I don’t know where you got the idea that taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for anything of which they disapprove.
“Lots of them don’t like tanks.
“Even more don’t like Congress”

On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

More interviews with witnesses to the Douma chemical attack in 2018 providing more details of how they were forced to lie about the chemical attack in public by Syrian and Russian officials. Those lies were lapped up and regurgitated by the usual useful idiots in the West.
The 2018 Syrian chemical attack witnesses who testified in The Hague all told us they were FORCED to lie by Russian officers.
They showed us PROOF they were flown to Moscow and forced to write statements saying the attack never happened.
Watch my report 🫡
