Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

@BarackObama the US hosting the World Cup is a disgrace to the essence of football.

In 2011, Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea opened a restaurant with no prices on the menu.

One evening, a woman sat down there trying not to cry.

Not because anyone hurt her — but because she had forgotten what it felt like to be treated with dignity.

She had been surviving on vending machine snacks, shelter leftovers, and whatever food she could find. Then someone placed a real meal in front of her.

Warm soup. Fresh vegetables. Dessert on a real plate.

The dining room was calm and welcoming. Cloth napkins. Proper silverware. Soft lighting. Small details that quietly told people: you belong here too.

Then the waiter walked over.

Her stomach dropped. She thought this was the moment she’d have to admit she couldn’t pay.

Instead, he smiled and left a note beside her plate.

There were no prices. Only a suggested donation.

And if she couldn’t afford to pay, she could volunteer her time instead.

No questions.
No shame.
No judgment.

She read the note twice, waiting for the catch.

There wasn’t one.

A little later, she stood at the kitchen sink washing dishes beside volunteers and staff. Somewhere between the warm water, the soap, and the quiet conversations, something inside her shifted.

For the first time in a long time, she no longer felt invisible.

That’s the heart of JBJ Soul Kitchen.

Dorothea Bon Jovi helped build the restaurant around one simple belief: everyone deserves dignity, no matter their circumstances.

No separate lines.
No labels.
No treating people like charity cases.

Guests who can pay help cover meals for others. Those who can’t are invited to help by folding napkins, setting tables, or working in the kitchen.

And beyond the meals, the restaurant connects people with housing support, healthcare resources, job guidance, and local services that can help rebuild lives.

What started as one small restaurant has grown into multiple locations across New Jersey, including spaces serving college students facing food insecurity.

Together, JBJ Soul Kitchen has served more than 200,000 meals.

When the pandemic shut the world down in 2020, they kept going. Meals became takeout. Families were fed. Jon Bon Jovi was spotted washing dishes while Dorothea helped keep everything running.

Millions know Bon Jovi as a rock star.

But one of the most meaningful things he and Dorothea ever built was a place where people could sit down, eat with dignity, and feel seen again.

Because hunger isn’t always just an empty stomach.

Sometimes it’s the feeling that the world has forgotten you.

And that little restaurant with no prices on the menu reminds people of something powerful:

You still matter.

You still belong.

I can't believe we're even having this conversation: In the last ten years, NOBODY has engaged in more violent political rhetoric than Donald Trump.

🚨HOLY SHIT !!!!!

Israeli politician Yitzik Kroizer says killing Palestinian children is normal if it supports the IDF mission.

He adds there are no innocent children in the West Bank.

Repost this. Please I beg you

This camera should be exhibited one day in the Genocide Memorial built in memory of the innumerable victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Shame on all journalists not raising their voice against the massacre of their brave Palestinian colleagues while documenting the genocide.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

We turned off all the lights in the house a short while ago. No one moves. No one speaks. Even the children - we try our best to keep them quiet. The quadcopters keep flying overhead, too close to the houses, as if they're hunting for any movement, any sound. There's no room for mistakes. The feeling of being trapped is indescribable. No electricity, no safety, not even a sense that we’ll make it to tomorrow. What life are you talking about? Everything around us says life here has ended - it just hasn’t been buried yet.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March.

But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing more than 60,000 civilians, 20,000 children, 237 UN aid workers, and 242 journalists in Gaza.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Israel will not stop until it has killed every man, woman and child who it cannot ethnically cleanse from Palestine. This is the destruction of a people, a nation, an ancient society that predates Christ. It must be forcibly stopped — sanctions, embargoes and military force.

@piersmorgan What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?
Why is it acceptable for some to possess nuclear arms, while others are denied that same right?
Is security a privilege for a few, or a principle for all?

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

Every single day you see the worst scenes of human suffering you have ever seen and think it must be the last video, but the next day you see worse and it continues.

Zionism is burying humanity in Gaza.

Any views on 2m starving Palestinians being killed & burnt alive in tents?
