Americans need to see this so they can understand that Israel isn’t “fighting for its life,” Gaza’s destruction isn’t an “unavoidable consequence of urban warfare,” but that Israel is systematically wiping a city of two million people off the face of the earth block by block.
A third #TopGun movie is in the works at Paramount, with writer Ehren Kruger on board and the intent to reunite director Joe Kosinski with Tom Cruise, Glen Powell and Miles Teller: https://t.co/WkKSKSDn5f

I don't regard what Israel is going as "revenge" or "retaliation" or anything of the sort.
That would be somewhat understandable.
This is a long term goal, to obliterate Palestinian society as much as possible.
Why else all the lies? Why make up atrocities if the goal is revenge? Israel makes up atrocities because it wants an excuse to attack Palestinian society so it can dominate, take the land and other resource.
Therefore, #InvokeGenocideConvention

The belief that Israel's war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank today are a result of "the most extreme and far-right government in Israel's history" is a figment of the liberal imagination. Decades of colonial rule by Israel's political left and centre belies this myth 1/
SOCIAL MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU ABOUT BLACK FRIDAY!!👇🏾👇🏾
A lot of people are shocked by some of the headlines stating “Black Friday shoppers spent a record $9.8 billion in U.S. online sales, up 7.5% from last year”
But this is a perfect example of how the media can be misleading
But don’t worry.. I paid attention in economics class, and study media literacy… so you didn’t have to!
Everyone saw that stores were empty, deals were not dealing, and inflation has been kicking our butt all year
So let’s talk about the real numbers
So the TOTAL increase in ALL sales for Black Friday 2023 is only 2.5%
The article is saying that the portion of the sales that are online, increased by 7.5%… NOT THE TOTAL SALES
(None of these numbers are adjusted to inflation btw)
Inflation is around 3.2%…
So if TOTAL sales increased 2.5%… but inflation is 3.2%… then that means there was actually a LOSS on Black Friday
Because our dollars and purchasing power holds LESS value than they did in 2022
It’s also important to note that the amount of sales made through a buy now, pay later program has increased by 47%
They may want us to believe our economy is in better shape than what it is… but companies and individuals are feeling the shift right now
@POTUS We (the people) long for access to exceptional free education, loan forgiveness, health care reform, an end to the prison industrial complex, fair voting rights, housing the houseless, and halting YOUR ADMIN’s GENOCIDE COMPLICITY.
In 2014, a Congolese man in the tiny village of Kasulo, near the town of Kolwezi in Southern Congo was digging a hole in his backyard for the construction of an outdoor toilet. About 8 feet deep, his shovel struck a slab of a strange grey rock.
