I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
OH MY GOD the Croatian fans have invaded a set of wedding photos outside City Hall and forced them to join in on the march HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THE WORLD CUP 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
🔥 This is why the clip is exploding.Sarah Netanyahu pleads for sympathy:
“My children have suffered shaming and violence simply because they are the children of the Prime Minister. We must condemn personal attacks on children in any setting.”
🇬🇧 A British activist’s response hits like a hammer:
“Did your children starve?
Were they bombed?
Did you receive them in plastic bags?
Were they shot while collecting water, ribs shattered?
Your criminal husband did this to the children of Gaza.”
The video is devastating.
Her words play while these questions overlay in Arabic.
The contrast is brutal.
This is the double standard the world can no longer ignore
President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.
He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.
Watch this. 🔥
“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.
“You are not numbers or case files.
“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV
Aujourd’hui, j’étais à la banque, dans la file d’attente devant un distributeur.
Devant moi, un monsieur très âgé. Plus de quatre-vingts ans, sûrement.
Il tenait une enveloppe dans la main, un peu tremblante.
Quand ce fut son tour, je l’ai observé discrètement.
Il touchait l’écran, hésitait, revenait en arrière…
Je voyais bien qu’il ne comprenait pas.
L’écran, les boutons, les étapes… tout semblait trop rapide pour lui.
La file derrière commençait à s’impatienter.
Lui, il s’est retourné vers moi, avec un regard gêné mais digne,
et il m’a demandé, tout doucement :
« Vous pourriez m’aider… s’il vous plaît ? »
Je me suis avancée tout de suite.
Je lui ai expliqué calmement, étape par étape.
Sans jamais toucher son argent.
Par respect. Par pudeur. Par délicatesse.
Il voulait faire un dépôt.
Il a réussi, lentement, en se concentrant.
Quand l’opération s’est terminée, il avait l’air soulagé.
Comme un enfant fier d’avoir réussi.
Il m’a remerciée avec un sourire incroyable.
Et juste avant de partir, il a sorti un billet de 10 euros de sa poche
et a voulu me le donner.
J’ai refusé.
Il a insisté. Il m’a dit que c’était « pour le petit-déjeuner ».
Pour me remercier à sa manière.
J’ai décliné encore, doucement.
Et là, je suis repartie avec un nœud dans la gorge.
Parce que ce monsieur…
ce n’est pas un cas isolé.
Ils sont nombreux, nos parents, nos grands-parents,
perdus face à un monde devenu trop numérique, trop rapide, trop froid.
Perdus devant les écrans, les bornes, les applications, les mots de passe.
Ces gens ont construit le pays dans lequel on vit.
Ils ont travaillé toute leur vie.
Ils ont payé, cotisé, élevé des enfants, tenu des familles.
Et aujourd’hui, on les laisse seuls
face à des machines qui ne parlent pas,
dans des banques sans guichet,
dans des hôpitaux sans accueil,
dans des administrations sans humain.
On parle d’innovation, de progrès, de modernité…
Mais on oublie l’essentiel : l’humain.
S’arrêter cinq minutes pour aider quelqu’un,
ça ne coûte rien.
Mais pour eux, ça change tout.
Parfois je me demande :
est-ce qu’on avance vraiment…
ou est-ce qu’on devient juste plus rapides à oublier les autres ?
Why is it normalized for grocery stores to ask customers to donate money for food banks when most of them are throwing out hundreds of pounds of perfectly edible food every single day? It really seems wrong.
Mexico is passing the US. Only Americans are dumb enough to be conned into believing the US cannot afford universal healthcare. Thanks to a decree signed by President Claudia Sheinbaum on April 7, Mexico is implementing universal healthcare, beginning January 1, 2027.
In his strongest condemnation yet of the Trump-Vance war against Iran, Pope Leo XIV said today:
“We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that’s becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.”
“We are met by threats instead of invitations to come together.
“Those who pray don’t threaten death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on God and turned themselves and their own power into a mute, blind, and deaf idol.
“They demand the whole world bends their knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!
“True strength is shown in serving life!”
WE.
REACHED.
A.
FUCKING.
AGREEMENT.
WITH.
THEM.
IN.
2015.
THAT.
IMPOSED.
STRICT.
LIMITS.
ON.
URANIUM.
ENRICHMENT.
UNTIL.
2040.
It was called the JCPOA.
And Trump TORE IT UP IN 2018 out of spite for @BarackObama
8 years later, here we are.
Total. Disaster.
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
WELL said JFK! Sadly, the 'convicted'
criminal 'occupying' the White House
will NEVER 'measure up' to the kind of
'vision' you brought to the Oval Office!
Raise a ✋ if you think a 'draft dodger' is
UNFIT to be Commander in Chief! 🙋♂️
