What sucks is that life could be so easy. So easy. There are enough resources to end world hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We could slow down and fairly utilize and distribute them. Instead, everyone suffers while 20 men control half the world’s wealth.
A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.
Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.
Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.
In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.
These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.
when we say “crime is a social construct”.
what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.
Trump waged an illegal war of aggression against a country that didn't attack us and bombed schools, hospitals, bridges, steel plants and all kinds of civilian infrastructure. The "deal" is a surrender document. We absolutely should surrender in shame and disgrace. The problem is Netanyahu is already rat fucking the deal and there's virtually no chance Trump sticks to the terms.
iran won. not yesterday. it won when it closed the strait of hormuz after we attacked. something they refused to do through decades of us sanctions and israeli and american meddling. they were willing to do diplomacy the entire time. people should stop demanding more war.
How will you continue your day after hearing that a father in Gaza, trapped beneath the rubble, begged rescuers not to save him?
Not because he had lost hope in life, but because he could hear his daughters’ final breaths beneath the debris. Their tiny hands were holding his in the darkness, as if pleading with him one last time. He was the father who had always been their safe refuge, yet this time he was powerless to pull them from the dust and shattered concrete.
Only his head was visible above the wreckage. He looked into the eyes of the rescuers, his own eyes exhausted by fear and helplessness, and said:
“Leave me… my daughters are here… I do not want to come out alone.”
What heart can bear such a scene? What language can describe the agony of a father who realizes he is losing his daughters one by one, while still holding their hands until they grow cold, unable to offer rescue or even one final embrace?
How will your day go on after knowing this story? How will you sit at your table in peace, or laugh at something trivial, knowing that somewhere there was a father whose last wish was not to survive alone?
And the question that continues to haunt the human conscience remains:
How much pain must the world witness before it finally hears the cry of a single father there?
BREAKING NEWS: Tel Aviv insiders leak that US leaders must accept that Israel is an independent sovereign nation. Also, the US must continue to provide massive amounts of military & economic aid or their country will likely go broke and collapse.
🚨 BREAKING: Lebanon files UN Security Council complaint accusing I$rael of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention in the south
Lab tests from Aita al-Shaab, Naqoura, and Dhaira confirmed catastrophic levels of Glyphosate—a cancer-linked chemical—in agricultural soil.
Normal farming levels would show 0.5 to 2 mcg/g but tests on soil in South Lebanon show 22,750 mcg/g, 11,000 times above safe levels
It has been labeled by some as a deliberate war crime designed to permanently destroy arable border lands.
Here is our report from the scene filmed in February
Israel isn't happy.
They lobbied Washington for years to attack Iran.
The US finally did it. Struck Iranian nuclear sites. Deployed the Navy. Lost American lives.
Israel's contribution? Minimal, then almost nothing. They left the US to fight alone and used the war to distract from people noticing that they were illegally taking more of Lebanon's land.
Israel now occupies 770 square miles of Lebanon. Nearly one-fifth of the country. And they have announced they're not giving it back.
They wanted the war with Iran. They didn't fight it. They used it as a cover to invade Lebanon. And now they're angry the war with Iran is ending.
What do you think about that?
People keep calling this an Iran war. It wasn't.
It was a campaign to eliminate the only military force in the region capable of threatening Israel. The United States did the heavy lifting. Israel had token involvement in the strikes on Iran, then immediately pivoted to seizing territory in Lebanon and accelerating the destruction of Gaza, leaving the U.S. to fight Iran.
That is not the alliance that the framing of "The Israeli-American war against Iran" suggests. That's just a client state managing its patron.
This pattern goes back decades. I lay it out over pages of documented evidence in my book, but there isn't space here. The short version: Iraq. Libya. Syria. Each time the U.S. degraded or destroyed a military that made Israel nervous. Each time we were told it was about something else. Weapons of mass destruction. A dictator killing his own people. Terrorism.
Now Iran's military is degraded. The last regional power capable of threatening Israel is on its heels.
13 Americans died in this war. Israel lost 11 soldiers. We did the fighting. They kept the land.
There will never be peace in the Middle East as long as Israel, a theocracy with undeclared nuclear weapons, continues to expand its territory with American money, American soldiers, and American lives.
Israel is one of four countries that has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The others are India, Pakistan, and South Sudan.
establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative
Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. More specifically, his net worth is $1.2 trillion or $1200 billion. That number doesn’t even compute for most of us, so here is some helpful context:
The USDA needs $18.8 billion to feed every child in the US school system breakfast and lunch each day. Elon could pay for that 64x and still have money leftover.
The World Food Program needs $13 billion to feed the 110 million hungriest people on earth. Elon could pay for that 92x and still have money leftover.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness needs $9.6 billion to provide housing for every unhoused person in the United States. Elon could pay for that 125x and still have money leftover.
The average American teacher makes $74,495 per year. Elon could pay the annual salary of over 16 million teachers and still have money leftover.
The problem is not that we don’t have enough money. The problem is that we have built a world where one person can accumulate more wealth than the GDP of 180 countries while children go hungry, families drown in medical debt, teachers are forced to buy school supplies for their students, and people sleep on the streets.
This is a complete moral failure.
The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.
The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.
Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.
If you earned $10,000 a day from the dawn of humans 300,000 years ago, you'd have earned less money than Elons wealth.
Tax this shit out of billionaires (and one trillionaire)
