All the money in the world and still a loser

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Elon Musk has so much money he could feed everyone on the planet for 11 years with direct food aid & delivery. He has that much money, to feed 8 billion people for 11 years.
Elon is only rich on paper. His soul is rotten to the core.

Summer is here and it’s really hot in Gaza reaching 30 degrees Celsius / 86 Fahrenheit. Now imagine that being a sick patient in a tent. Help now: https://t.co/dT6xhwzZFU

That’s the case for many of the families in The Sameer Project camps and many cases get seizures due to the heat. We have multiple solar panels in our camps but they can’t provide fans for everyone, so our medical team assessed those most in need.

The Sameer Project needs your support in purchasing fans for the families and money to fix some fans we already have. A fan approximately costs $525 for a new one (if found) and $280 for a used one. That’s aside from the prices for keeping the fans running.

Please donate now to the Refaat Alareer Campaign to help us buy fans: https://t.co/dT6xhwzZFU

"I used to see dogs as gentle, loyal creatures. Now, every time I pass one, my whole body shakes." Palestinian journalist Marah Al-Wadyi describes how the genocide in Gaza has fractured something in the way Gazans see the animals around them. She speaks about her relative Najwa, killed along with her children Sahar, Tahsin and Tayseer by Israeli quadcopters, whose body was then partly eaten by starving dogs. Marah says she understands the animals were driven to it by hunger, that this is not their nature, that Israel starved the entire Strip, people and animals alike.

Yet she admits the terror and revulsion are things she cannot reason her way out of, because in the end she is human and the images stay with her. She recalls the documented killing of Muhammad Bhar, the young man with Down syndrome who was mauled to death by an Israeli army combat dog in Shujaiya as he pleaded "enough, my love," and she points to the systematic use of trained attack dogs, imported and deployed by the occupation, to rape and torture Palestinian hostages in its prisons.

What she describes is how an entire population's relationship with the living world has been bent out of shape under siege and starvation. She speaks of fearing even cats, sensing they might see hungry, emaciated bodies as their next meal, and of the most haunting detail of all: children in Gaza who, while playing with cats, have started telling them, "Tomorrow when we die, don't you dare eat us." Marah knows it is the occupation's engineered starvation and violence that turned the animals' nature, that the dogs and cats are victims of the same policy as the people. But she is honest that it has also changed something inside her that may be hard to mend, one more wound from a war that has reached into the smallest and most intimate corners of life in Gaza.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents kidnapped a U.S. citizen, while he was grabbing coffee, in Maryland.

Samuel Guzmán repeatedly told agents he was born in the United States. He even offered to show his ID… and they didn’t believe him.

Instead, they took his phone, wallet, and keys, shoved him in their car, illegally transported him to another location, questioned him about where he was “really” from, for 2 hours, and refused to let him call anyone.

Then, once they realized he was a U.S. citizen… they let him go without explaining why he was detained.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures…. ICE agents don’t get to kidnap someone, from a coffee shop parking lot, without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process…. Holding someone against their will while refusing to tell them why, or denying them access to contact anyone, is a constitutional violation.

And the Equal Protection principles mean the government can’t target people simply because of their race, ethnicity, or the language they speak.

If you’re okay with constitutional rights disappearing the moment someone has the wrong last name, or skin color…

You were never defending law and order.

@fritz_faustus @facetedcarapace I’m not saying I agree with it. Or that compulsory polite interaction is anything more than that. But you have to imagine the guys that are seeking this type of place out are living in their fantasies.

[Hazel DeCat 🧶 @DecatHazel]

@fritz_faustus @facetedcarapace I think to some guys, it’s arousing bc it’s taboo. Yes you can go to any beach & see the same, but that’s normal. You can’t go to Starbucks/DD/etc & see it there. And if they go there & order then they are guaranteed to get some type of interaction from an attractive girl

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in.

When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from.

He told them he born in Laredo, Texas.

But that was not good enough.

The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?”

He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again.

The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it.

Being on a bike isn’t a crime.

You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not.

So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal.

And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses.

If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.

everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

@peachtard @LiberalLunacy47 I understand. My boomer parents moved 12 hrs away & expect I should cart my 3 young kids to them every holiday & then have the audacity to get mad I ask them to stop blaring Fox news in front of the kids at the breakfast table. How dare I ask them!…after I’ve traveled so far SMH

Disrespecting teachers at the ripe age of 57 when the country is dead smack in the middle of the worst literacy crisis in its history and teachers are insanely underpaid (while bragging about being a millionaire) is out-of-touch loser behavior. Everyone is 12!!

@RealPostFolder There are just so many better ways this could have been handled. You could have let him come. Or you could have had separate family/school events (it can be hard to mix crowds sometimes, I get it) where he could have come. But to just leave him out completely is really heartless.

So unfair of fake news media to say “Trump was booed inside Madison Square Garden” when thousands were booing him outside too.
