🚨🇮🇷 "AT THE TIME OF HANDING OVER THE BODIES, THEY WERE SAYING 'DEATH TO KHAMENEI'"

This is from families collecting bodies of protesters killed by security forces.

Not at a rally. At a government building. While facing the same people who just killed your son or daughter.

And you're still chanting.

That's when fear stops working.

Regimes rely on people calculating risk. Speak out, get arrested. Protest, get shot. The math is supposed to keep most people quiet most of the time.

This is the moment repression starts failing. Not because it's not brutal enough.

Because it's already done the worst thing and people are still going.

Their industrial scale Pulse fishing kills everything—fish, babies, coral- leaving a dead ocean.

These pirates need to be stopped before they leave the ocean lifeless

Allowing private equity to compete with citizens to buy single family homes will go down as one of the worst decisions ever made in the United States’ history.

Ryan Day, once his own play-caller, realized needed an OC, hired sitting head coach (Chip Kelly) as OC. Won a natty.

Mike Norvell, same situation. Hired sitting head coach (Gus Malzahn) as OC. Likely saved his job.

Billy Napier said nah I’m good.

Reminder:

When companies pay less than a living wage and don’t offer healthcare, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets like Medicaid and SNAP.

That’s not a handout to workers.
That’s a handout to the companies exploiting them.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Forgiving PPP loans to wealthy people is cool, but not student loans for middle and working class folk.

Gotcha.

GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump.

While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond.

Several claims made by President Trump have already been debunked. We've included responses from Grok AI for each claim, demonstrating that even Grok refutes the misinformation spread by the president.

In this thread, we will provide geolocated footage as a reminder to everyone that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, marking the beginning of this war.

1)

The United States has not spent $350 billion on this war, nor has it outspent Europe by $200 billion. In fact, European contributions have surpassed those of the US. Moreover, a significant portion of the American military aid (around 90% !) is spend in the US, reinvesting in the US economy.

President Zelensky did not claim that half the American money sent to Ukraine is "missing". He stated that half of the promised funds had not been received, which is a crucial distinction.

Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime, a measure designed to protect the democratic process from foreign interference, particularly given Russia's known capabilities in this area...

4)

President Zelensky is not a dictator, as evidenced by Ukraine's constitutional framework and his commitment to holding elections once hostilities cease. In contrast, it's worth noting that President Putin consistently wins elections in Russia with implausibly high percentages of votes, with opposition that 'falls out of windows", is poisened or jailed, raising questions about the true nature of Russia's electoral process.

President Zelensky has a approval rate above 50% and not 4%. 4% is Russian disinformation.

There was no NATO expansion to the East, as NATO itself cannot expand. Instead, democratic countries independently decide whether they want to become members of the alliance. The process of joining NATO is voluntary and involves multiple steps, including meeting specific requirements and completing a formal application process.

The fact that many of Russia's former neighbors have chosen to seek NATO membership speaks volumes about their perception of Russia and their desire for collective security.

The decision of these nations to pursue NATO membership reflects their sovereign right to determine their own foreign policy and security arrangements. It also indicates a preference for the stability and security guarantees that NATO membership offers, rather than remaining under Russian influence.

Regarding the famous 'promise':
Article 103 of the UN Charter establishes a clear hierarchy in international law. It states that obligations under the UN Charter prevail over obligations under any other international agreement in case of conflict. This supremacy extends beyond just treaties, as it is generally understood to also apply to customary international law.
The hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

1) UN Charter obligations
2) Other treaties and customary international law
3) Non-treaty international texts
4) Political promises or commitments
5) Historical claims

Russia's invasion of Ukraine clearly violates fundamental principles of the UN Charter, including the prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity of another state. Any attempts to justify this action based on lower-ranking considerations like political promises or historical claims are legally irrelevant.

Who initiated this nearly three-year-long war? RUSSIA.

As a platform that has analyzed over 50,000 frames/videos related to the conflict, we will remind the president ,with geolocated footage, who started this war: RUSSIA.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, despite repeatedly denying any plans for invasion in the preceding days.

Dear @realDonaldTrump, If it’s not too much trouble, we would like to see the IRS & SEC investigate how all of our politicians become multimillionaires on a govt salary. Actually, we all know how they do it. We’d just like something done about it.

Sincerely,

The American People

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi and her husband appear to have used unreported $28 million in Covid pandemic grants to make their personal investments in a hotel profit, per RealClearInvestigations.

The two of its investors in the Auberge du Soleil, a five-star hillside hotel and spa.

The Auberge du Soleil investment, held for decades by Paul Pelosi, has rarely turned a significant profit, until 2021.

Then, Pelosi’s private holdings, such as the Auberge du Soleil resort, received upwards of $28 million in pandemic-related taxpayer funds, including the PPP, the COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan, and a special grant program for restaurants.

For example, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, one of the additional programs launched by the new round of pandemic spending, provided $5 million to the Auberge du Soleil in June 2021.

The first PPP loan, awarded the previous year, provided��$2.9 million – helping the Pelosis earn millions on an investment that has rarely turned a significant profit, according to Nancy’s ethics disclosures.

This is unusual.
