Another day, another deadly shooting.
Thoughts and prayers are nice, but they do NOTHING to prevent this carnage.
When will Congress take concrete action?
If you believe that now is not the time, I do not understand why now is not the perfect time.
How many more have to die?
It’s obscene.

Or even that these “debates” always ignore the fact that, early on, Israel wrecked Gaza’s capacity to count its dead by destroying the enclave’s governmental offices and its hospitals. The 70,000 figure is likely to be a drastic under-estimate.

I hope the stadiums are empty. I won’t be watching.
So let's get this right:
1. FIFA WC fans must pay a fortune for tickets before they leave home.
2. Pay for airline tickets.
3. Pay for accommodation.
4. Prove they have enough to fund their stay.
5. Pay the Trump security deposit.
Then risk having some racist border guard turn them away?
FAFO!

What makes their tactics any different from criminals? Criminals also don’t uphold the law and respect rights. Indeed,it is altogether possible that these are the worst and most dangerous people in our society. Other criminals tend to assault people, these maskers kidnap, imprison & disappear people

I can see why this Nativity scene makes some uncomfortable. It perfectly encapsulates USA’s current reality & hypocrisy. It reminds me of this: “For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty & you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger & you took me in;”—Matthew 25:35

Palestine is still facing ethnic cleaning, starvation and strikes from Israel.
The genocide continues so why then do our politicians and media keep speaking of "a ceasefire".
Gie me peace we are being told to deny what we are seeing in front of our own eyes.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes

#Billionaires plotted to overthrow FDR in 1933 and we were intentionally never taught about it. Have you heard of this before? The "Business Plot". The media of the time called it a hoax. Gov buried the report. I was able to find documentation. #History we ignore gets repeated. Ever heard of this? 👇
