🚨 BREAKING:

Francesca Albanese told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva:

"They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, restrained my hands to the end of the bed, and pulled my legs forcefully."

"I felt a rod penetrate my anus and a man rape me. I started screaming, so they beat me on my back and head."

"While blindfolded, I felt a man rape me and ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I heard a camera, so I believe they were filming me."

"I can't describe what I felt. I wished I was dead. Every moment."

— UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese reads Palestinian survivors' accounts of rape, torture and killing in Israeli detention centers.

More than 18,500 people have been detained since Oct. 7. At least 100, including a child, have died in detention. Around 4,000 have also been forcibly disappeared.

"What was lost in Palestine will be lost to all of us."

They want us dead. How can we not think they want us dead?

When Col. Norman Eaton's remains were recovered after nearly 40 years, his family chose to lay him to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, our nation's most sacred burial ground.

But now with the “Arc De Trump” set to begin construction, veterans are reconsidering whether they even want to be buried there anymore. That's how badly Trump has desecrated the meaning of this place. If he thinks that veterans will stay quiet about this proposed arch, he's wrong.

These headlines from major news outlets about the recent visit of Kushner and Witkoff to russia and Ukraine perfectly summarize what happened.

Financial Times: “Kushner and Witkoff's Blind Amateurism.”

HuffPost: “Trump's Envoys Spark Fury As They Advocate For Putin While In Ukraine.”

Slate: “Jared Kushner's Incompetence Was on Full Display This Weekend.”

“We should be appalled that the dignified rows of white marble headstones at Arlington could be overshadowed by this Great Triumphal Arch. We should all be appalled that our president is trying to impose such an un-American project on us.

Stop the arch.”

European law enforcement agencies chasing leads from the U.S. investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein say that one year after the first batch of files was released, the Justice Department has yet to respond to their requests for help. https://t.co/t11vowwkgS

Israel just blew up a public school in Mansouri, South Lebanon.

Not a military base.

A school.

A trucker left his dog chained to the side of a Peterbilt in a downpour.

Not for a minute. An hour. Maybe longer. The dog is on the battery box, soaked, then jumps into the standing water and runs the length of the leash like it is trying to get out of its own skin. The cab is right there. The driver is not.

The door says Diamond Express, Spearman, Texas. USDOT 3968735. That number is on the truck for a reason. Companies do not get to hide behind a logo while a dog sits in the rain like cargo.

You do not bring an animal on the road so you can park it outside while you eat. Call the company. Call animal control where this lot is. Make them answer for it.

Russia bombed Kyiv all night and kept bombing it into the morning with jet drones and loitering munitions, and it did so while the American president was on the phone offering Putin business deals for whenever he decides he has killed enough Ukrainians.

America used to have a code. You do not shake the hand that is still on the trigger. You do not talk money with a man while he bombs your friends. You do not let anyone mistake your patience for permission. Putin knows that code, which is why he struck a European capital mid-call, to see whether it still applied. It did not. The man in the White House kept talking, kept praising, kept offering. In Moscow they now know exactly what American strength is worth, nothing.

There is no red line, no cost and no consequence, only an eager counterpart who wants a handshake. The Kremlin sees a weak America that lost in Iran and has no friends left in the world, and every strike on Kyiv during that call was Putin saying so out loud.

OUI c'est de L'ART

Un cerf s'est réfugié là, pensant avoir la vie sauve, il avait raison ! La loi est formelle, les veneurs auraient dû le laisser partir

Mais ils l'ont bloqué et les 🐕‍🦺 l'ont harcelé et mordu pendant 2 heures

Puis 1 artiste (le piqueur) a transpercé l'animal avec un sabre

À bout de force pourtant, le cerf est parti en hurlant sa douleur et en se vidant de son sang 😱

Tous ceux présents sur place ont du mal à s'en remettre. Sauf les veneurs sans doute

@f2laf et @TomDrach vous expliqueront que c'est noble, que c'est une tradition

Dans ce post, j'utilise les "vrais mots" et non leurs mots trompeurs.

Par exemple, dans leur jargon, le 🦌 aurait dû être "gracié" , alors qu'il n'a rien fait 😯

C'était non loin de Rambouillet

More than 3,700 Mustangs have reportedly been sold by the BLM this year, including horses who ended up with known kill buyers.

We need to get loud. 📣 Contact your representatives, share their story, and demand stronger protections for America’s wild horses. #SaveOurMustangs

Steve Harness reads The Hive Bakery’s message for Trump: “Fuck this guy and his entire administration for ruining our country. Our food is poison, gas is up, groceries are up, women have no reproductive rights, immigrants are in concentration camps, wild horses are being slaughtered, the LGBTQ+ community is under attack, billionaires are getting richer, Orange Face is literally breaking laws left and right, we’re in a war with Iran for no reason, the Epstein Files still haven’t been released in full and no one’s being held accountable”

🚨 BREAKING:

Balint: "I never imagined I'd see our president become a puppet of a dictator. To my Republican colleagues, did you ever imagine you'd be in a party that sides with dictators? Aren't you ashamed of what you've become? It's disgusting to see my colleagues side with Russia simply because Trump said so."

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

We are once again reminding you that Jared Kushner has not filed a financial disclosure or divested from his conflicting assets.

Yet he is traveling the world and negotiating on behalf of the Trump admin. That is NOT acceptable. https://t.co/wuTtIDKUYX

Since October 7th, Israeli soldiers and civilians have killed 1,000+ Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, 241 of them children.

Israeli settlers have burned homes and businesses with the Israeli government’s backing.

Don't believe me? Hear it from a former Israeli soldier.
