One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.

A video that the world must never forget.

Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”

Trump is the most corrupt president in US history.

Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?

En arrivant au Brésil et en étant témoin de l'esclavage de près, Charles Darwin écrivit :

« Près de Rio de Janeiro, ma voisine d'en face était une vieille dame qui possédait des vis-pouces avec lesquelles elle écrasait les doigts de ses esclaves. Dans une maison où j'avais séjourné auparavant, un jeune serviteur mulâtre était, chaque jour et à toute heure, insulté, battu et pourchassé avec une fureur capable de décourager jusqu'au plus vil des animaux.

J'ai vu un enfant de six ou sept ans frappé à la tête avec un fouet (avant que je puisse intervenir) parce qu'il m'avait servi un verre d'eau légèrement trouble...

Et ce sont là des actes commis par des hommes qui prétendent aimer leur prochain comme eux-mêmes, qui croient en Dieu, et qui prient pour que Sa volonté soit faite sur terre !

Le sang bout dans nos veines et nos cœurs s'emballent quand nous songeons que nous, les Anglais, et nos descendants américains avec leurs cris fanfarons pour la liberté, avons été et sommes encore coupables de cet énorme crime. »

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

Israel is wiping out entire civilian neighborhoods in Tyre, Lebanon, violating Security Council resolution SCR 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

This is another war crime and the ICC remains silent.

History has a pattern: when a woman refuses to disappear, the story is often rewritten until she does...

In 1943, as Nazi forces closed in on the Warsaw Ghetto, resistance wasn’t a theory—it was a death sentence. And yet, Zivia Lubetkin chose it anyway. Not quietly. Not in support roles. She stepped into leadership when others hesitated. While some male commanders froze under the weight of what they were facing, Zivia moved. She organized. She fought. She refused to wait for permission.She killed more Nazis than any male resistance fighter in her movement.

For 27 days, she helped lead one of the most desperate uprisings of World War II—the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Outnumbered, outgunned, and facing certain death, the fighters held their ground against the Nazi war machine. Zivia wasn’t in the background. She was in the center of it—making decisions, directing movement, and picking up a weapon when it mattered most.

And when the ghetto burned, when survival meant slipping through the filth and darkness of the city’s sewer system, Zivia led 750 people through tunnels filled with human waste, suffocation, and terror—guiding them out while death hunted them above. That kind of leadership doesn’t come from rank. It comes from resolve.

But here’s where the story turns.

After the war, recognition didn’t follow courage. It followed narrative. A dead male commander was elevated, memorialized, turned into a symbol. Statues were built. Names were etched in stone. Zivia—the woman who fought, who led, who survived—was pushed to the margins of her own story.

She lived. And because she lived, she was easier to overlook.

This isn’t just about one woman. It’s about how history decides who gets remembered—and who gets quietly set aside.

On this day, I honor the courage of the young people of Birmingham who chose peaceful protest in the face of violence and hatred. Their witness helped expose the cruelty of segregation and stirred the conscience of a nation. The Birmingham Children’s Crusade began on May 2, 1963, and when the demonstrations continued the next day, Bull Connor ordered police and firefighters to attack young demonstrators with dogs and high pressure fire hoses.

May we never forget that young people have always helped lead the struggle for justice, and that nonviolent direct action remains a powerful force for change.

This is not a detainment camp in World War II, nor a prison in the Holocaust, this is Gaza. A chilling reminder that history repeats.

A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent

“In Louisiana, Blàck women were put in cells with male prisòners and some became pregnant. In 1848, legislators passed a new law declaring that all children born in the penitentiary of African American parents serving life sèntences would be pròperty of the state. The wòmen would raise the kìds until the age of ten, at which point the penitentiary would place an ad in the newspaper. Thirty days later, the children would be aùctioned off on the courthouse steps 'cash on delivery.' The proceeds were used to fund schools for whìtè children. . . many of [the black children] were purchased by prisòn officials.”
