the US is facing a homelessness crisis in the middle of a pandemic and the richest man in the world just made enough money to house every homeless person in the US in 24 hours
“A person’s whole life is in that place, their work, their memories, everything. Suddenly you see it exploding in front of you,” said Ahmad Abu Taam, a 56-year-old resident of Taybeh. “From that moment, I felt that I had become a refugee. I feel like I have no home.”
“You feel a deep sense of frustration. Like someone has the power to erase you,” said Abu Taam.
One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.
In reality, the headline should read:
“Israel tortured and starved Palestinian child, Walid Ahmad, whom it held hostage under administrative detention, without charge, in its prison.”
I'm sorry but how on earth is this not front page news everywhere? A child. Cigarettes extinguished on his body. A metal rod inserted into his feet. In front of his father. This is documented, filmed, and handed over through the Red Cross. Where is the ICC? Where is the outrage from those who lecture the world about human rights?
Epic inequality and extreme wealth are essentially the core problem we face today, in that it is the ultimate cause of every other crisis we're experiencing.
If you’re Jewish and you’re spending a second worrying about the left’s criticism of Israel when this is today’s far right, which the GOP feels is too important a part of their coalition to alienate (JD Vance has literally said that), well, I don’t know what to say to you.
Here's the real tell on the Greenland thing: There was not a single person -- MAGA or neocon or conservative or other -- who was talking about seizing Greenland before Trump got this idea in his head. Not a single one. This wasn't just a non-issue, it was literally inconceivable.
Hearing centrist Dems say "let's give ICE more money for body cameras" is making my brain melt. Jonathan Ross LITERALLY FILMED HIMSELF shooting Renee Good in the face, and he's just out there, probably gearing up to shoot another mother in the face. Like, what are you smoking?
@atrupar Such a ridiculous argument. We have a treaty with Greenland that allows us to place as many soldiers as we want on the island. We also have the largest military alliance the world has ever seen that requires the US and Europe defend Greenland, together. This is about imperialism.
Trump is raising tariffs on 8 NATO allies because they rightly support Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland.
Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress must say NO.
