A Yazidi man cries as he meets his sister for the first time in 9 years after ISIS kidnapped her as a young girl.
Yazidis didn't have the resources to influence liberals, universities, or media, so they are not considered important!
What ISIS did to Yazidis is not forgivable.
Imagine doctors choosing/advising of healthcare based on the amount of work or waiting or delay -as determined by them- because they already think they know how the story ends bc theyve seen it all before
This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.
“It’s just that all of these Caribbean resorts look exactly the same to me. It’s just a random beach.”
“Oh I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You sit at your laptop, and you select… I don’t know, that all-inclusive resort for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what cookie-cutter consumerist hotel your parents made you go to.
But what you don’t know is that hotel isn’t just all-inclusive, it’s not Ixtapa, it’s not Zihuatanejo. It’s actually Cancún. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in the late 60s, Mexico ran a huge trade deficit with the US. They were industrializing rapidly, importing machinery and materials that had to be paid for in dollars. Then I believe it was INFRATUR, wasn’t it, that actually spent months building a computer model, feeding data to an IBM 360 to analyze Mexico’s entire coastline, evaluating climate, beach quality, accessibility, and development costs.
Then they identified Cancún as a strategic tourism development zone, deliberately modeled on postwar Mediterranean resort economies. By the mid-1990s, major U.S. and European hotel chains standardized the all-inclusive resort model there. That model was then replicated, refined, and exported across the Caribbean.
Eventually, that choice filtered down through Expedia algorithms, airline bundle deals, and trickled on down into some TikTok’s influencer video which you no doubt watched in bed doom scrolling. However, Cancún represents billions of dollars in coordinated state planning, private capital, labor arbitrage, and tourism dependency. Tens of thousands of jobs. Entire regional supply chains.
And it’s sort of comical that you think you simply picked "a random beach" when in fact you’re sipping a piña colada at a resort selected for you by the Mexican federal government’s years-long optimization process… from a bunch of random beaches.”
When a man in Detroit came home one evening,
he noticed something moving in the backyard of an abandoned house.
His heart sank when he saw a dog, chained tightly,
left behind as if his life meant nothing.
Alone, scared, and starving for affection,
Beaker cowered behind the garage, too timid to even move.
When volunteer Tiffany Perkins from Rebel Dogs Detroit arrived,
his eyes told the story of endless nights of fear and silence.
At first, Beaker peeked out cautiously,
his frail body trembling, still hoping for kindness.
The moment Tiffany called his name,
his tail began to wag, fragile but desperate for love.
When the chain was finally untethered,
Beaker collapsed, rolling on his back for belly rubs
as if begging, “Don’t leave me.”
But the cruel chain had cut into his neck,
so Tiffany rushed him to the vet.
While waiting for surgery,
Beaker laid his head in her lap and finally fell asleep,
knowing for the first time he was safe.
Today, he is healing in a foster home,
surrounded by warmth and unconditional love.
The scars on his neck will fade,
but the scar on his heart is being healed by kindness.
Beaker still waits for his forever family,
someone who will never chain him, never leave him… only love him.
👉 If this touched your heart, send Beaker a little love.
Because sometimes, even a kind word can mean the world. ❤️
He lives rent free in my house, doesn’t do any work, sighs loudly when he thinks I’m late giving him his food, doesn’t speak the same language as me… but we’re still best friends 🐾
@just_brash@deniseshrivell@CarlinKaye And whats the value of the relationship with Trump? That's probably more the goal, if her ownership stake is true.
For all those people calling for the cutting and dispensing with of red tape, just remember that those rules have been put in place to protect consumers and the environment, prevent pollution and environmental degradation by profit gouging corporations and exploitation in general
Not really. Kids will still inherit. It'll be a new plan. Then in 10-20 years that plan will morph ito something abusive thereby undermining the settings which led to the plan's development (like 15% on super & negative gearing) bc greedy fucks cant help bastardising errything
The federal government’s proposed super tax on unrealised capital gains is threatening the succession plans of thousands of farmers set to retire in the next decade.
Mistakes? Doesn't quite capture the wrongdoing or the intentionality inherent in the wildly popular massacre so frequently used to subdue the "blacks".

Why are right wingers scared of the Truth? Too embarrassing? 🙄 #abc
