Israel, allied to Trump & Putin, has banned (MSF) Doctors Without Borders and 37 humanitarian orgs from helping people in Gaza, Palestine. The move is designed to kill hundreds of thousands of survivors by depriving them from lifesaving healthcare, another phase of the genocide. #3E

I used to think they were all nuts when they’d carry on non-stop about deep state cabals, powerful pedophile rings and highly connected sex traffickers.

It turns out they knew exactly what they were talking about.

They were talking about themselves.

It’s hard to fathom the tragedy of another Kennedy-this time Tatiana Schlossberg-dying at such a relatively young age

But it’s unimaginable to comprehend what she felt, while cancer was stealing her life, as she watched her cousin cut research that might’ve saved other victims of malignant diseases
"As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers”

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

"The past is prologue." Yes, well said. None of this shit is coming out of nowhere. It was always in the fabric of US society. The genocide, the racism, the misoginy, the criminal capitalism that evolves into fascism.

According to many politicians evoking great replacement theory, White people are *not* being criticized for their racism. Because apparently White racism no longer exists. Instead, these politicians argue White people are being relentlessly criticized for being White. Thus they must apologize. 1/2

According to a new CAP analysis, 119 members of Congress deny climate change. If you guessed they're all Repubs, you'd be right. They've pocketed more than $51 million in lifetime contributions from fossil fuel companies. Vote them all out!

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Epstein Survivor Jess Michaels: I'm feeling strangely validated. Because in plain sight, and with even with an act of Congress, we're seeing the exact same delays, negligence, corruption, incompetence that we've seen consistently and have been advocating about. They've actually proved our point.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.
