A heartbroken elderly Albanian man says Jared Kushner has taken everything he spent a lifetime building, including his land, his home, and the future he hoped to leave behind for his children.
He says he returned home one day only to find his property sealed off behind barbed wire, with men in black uniforms standing guard and refusing to let him step inside the house he once called his own.
In a single moment, he says, the life he had worked for was gone.
“It was the end of the world. The end of the world.”
“I felt imprisoned.”
“They took my freedom.”
“They took my livelihood.”
“They took my land.”
@tparsi@tparsi would it be possible for Iran to demand as part of the MOU/"deal" to have Israel give up its nuclear arsenal? I think it's the only way to actually achieve peace, imho. Along with stopping all of the genocides they are committing, obviously. Thanks. 🌹
Americans, Indians, Ugandans, Argentinians, and people everywhere should know that the genocidal Zionists have been wrecking the global economy since launching their war of aggression - and now they are desperately blocking any agreement to end the crisis.

Mexico has been so great to the Iranian National Football Team
Mexican citizens chant at the Iranian embassy booth at the World Cup exhibition:
"Iranian Brother, You are Mexican!
A BBC correspondents stands in front of a residential building in Beirut destroyed by Israeli strikes.
“The Israeli military describes this is a precise attack… what they said was a control and command centre used by Hezbollah…”
The BBC is complicit.
Kate was a spokeswoman for John Edwards in 2008, and stayed on to the end after the Enquirer broke that he was cheating on his cancer stricken wife with a campaign videographer, fathering her child, and as we later learned committed 6 campaign finance felonies to cover it up.
The full segment of Hasan finding out that the rally in Denver with Melat Kiros was cancelled. Everyone with brain cells can see what the establishment is trying to do here. There is power in numbers. The establishment has the money, but @MelatKirosCO has the people. 🤍🌹
Update: Last night, our baby did in fact arrive just before the Knicks won in five.
My wife and I are unbelievably happy. We have a healthy, adorable baby boy. Was tempted to name him Jalen Karl-Anthony OG Baba, but we kept our original choice.
Welcome, James Brooklyn Baba 🙌🏾
Electability is the buzzword at Democratic conventions across our nation.
I understand why some Democrats are tempted to play it safe. Many see Republican victories in 2026 and 2028 as an existential threat and think the answer is to nominate the safest possible candidates.
But America is not facing an ordinary moment. We have levels of wealth concentration not seen since the first Gilded Age. Millions of young people cannot afford a home, childcare, healthcare, or college. Voting rights and women’s rights are being rolled back. Black and Latino communities, rural America, and factory towns have been excluded from the wealth generation of the modern economy.
The answer to a crisis of this scale is not caution. It is a bold vision equal to the moment.
We cannot simply be against Trumpism and go back to a status quo that tore this nation apart. We need a new economic patriotism that creates good jobs in every ZIP code, rebuilds American industry, delivers Medicare for All, provides childcare $10 day, makes public college tuition-free, creates 1,000 new trade schools and technical institutes, guarantees homeownership for every American who works hard by age 35, and ensures that the gains from AI and technological progress are shared by working and middle-class Americans.
We need to end foreign wars, reject gun boat militarism abroad, and stop providing aid to governments that violate human rights.
And yes, I believe America is strongest when it celebrates being a nation of immigrants. The future of this country is not one group against another or running away from our diversity. It is Americans of every race, faith, and background united around the simple idea that everyone who works hard deserves economic security, dignity, and a chance to succeed. That was Frederick Douglass’s prophecy of a Composite Nation in 1869.
If Democrats want to defeat Trumpism, we cannot simply run safe, focus-group-crafted politicians who try to substitute demographic or biographical connection for a real policy vision. We cannot recycle candidates who will never be seen as leaders for true change.
We have to offer something fresh, something bigger than fear and insults. We have to offer a vision of shared prosperity. We have to give people a reason to believe that the future can be better than the past.
That is the path that Franklin Roosevelt, a leader who governed from a wheelchair after polio, showed us. It is the path John Kennedy showed us as the first Catholic president. It is the path Barack Obama showed us as a trailblazing African American president. It is the path Bernie Sanders showed us as a Jewish, democratic socialist who transformed our politics.
The great reformers in American history did not win by playing it safe. They were by no means conventional candidates. They won by meeting the challenges of their time with courage equal to the moment.
We are at our best as Democrats when we are not afraid. We are at our best when we are bold.
