When we care for others our own strength to live increases. When we help people expand their state of life, our lives also expand. Actions to benefit others are not separate from actions to benefit oneself. Our lives and the lives of others are ultimately inseparable.- Dr. Ikeda

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

There is this relatively new practice by news orgs, inc. some in NV, of publishing under the guise of an op-ed pure propaganda and pabulum from supporters/endorsers of candidates and not labeling it sponsored content or, you know, NOT PUBLISHING IT AT ALL.

Disservice to voters.

Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.

Gazans are upcycling rubble scraps to repair and repurpose small pleasure boats into fishing vessels — a lifeline for the enclave — as Israeli restrictions have made fiberglass unaffordable https://t.co/xPsWlD7As1

Palestinian journalist and mother Aya Shamaa wrote about how an Israeli attack killed her children, newborn Ryan and seven-year-old Yaman. Like countless mothers in Gaza, she saw her children as gleams of hope amid a fragile ceasefire. Narrated by Al Jazeera’s Al Anoud Al Aqeedi.

They're not buying the island to build a luxury resort (I never believed that).

It's to control the Strait of Ontranti.

🚨Caolan confirms he has obtained a sample of Alumina from Aughinish which he plans to get forensically tested against Russian battlefield debris which may prove the link between Russian weapons and Aughinish Alumina. #Alumina21

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

Families in Az-Zawayda, central Gaza, clear debris from homes destroyed in an overnight Israeli air strike that left entire buildings in ruins.

The latest attack comes as Israel's 'military operations' intensify and occupied Gaza records its highest death toll in six months.

JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE

“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.

It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.

He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.

We want him to resign.”

The Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $16.3 billion in contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024.

Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party. https://t.co/47WT3tNfSF

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.

That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.

You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

Video shows the moment when journalist Abbas Fakih was reporting in Nabatieh, Lebanon and an Israeli air attack hit a car behind him.

Israel is continuing to launch deadly attacks across southern Lebanon despite the announcement of a new US-brokered ceasefire.

The Revolt Inside 60 Minutes Just Got Worse.

Legendary correspondent Steve Kroft is now accusing CBS leadership of "journalistic interference."

His verdict?

"It was a slap in the face to everybody who has worked there."

Notice the pattern.

Scott Pelley says he was stonewalled.

Sharon Alfonsi says Pelley was fired for asking questions.

Now Steve Kroft says management is interfering with journalism.

At some point, this stops looking like a personnel dispute.

And starts looking like a newsroom rebellion.

In a groundbreaking social initiative, Albuquerque, New Mexico launched a program that pays homeless individuals to clean streets, parks, and public areas.

The idea was simple — offers work, dignity, and purpose instead of punishment or pity.

The results were remarkable: over 70% of participants have now secured permanent housing or full-time employment, transforming their lives and communities alike. The city’s “There’s a Better Way” program proves that compassion-driven policies can be more effective than traditional welfare systems.

We warned the world that Gaza is the testing ground for a lawless new world order.

This’s Lebanon now…

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

ICE pretends to be U.S. Post Office—to lure people out of their homes.

Or is the Post Office itself cooperating with ICE now?

1 agent knocks on door like a delivery—while 2 agents sneak in backyard.

"We were not expecting any package," said homeowner.

"Don't open your doors!"

Whether it’s confirmed ICE or copycats using the tactic the message from the community is clear:
▪︎ Don’t open for unexpected packages
▪︎ Talk through the door or window
▪︎ Ask to see a judicial warrant (not just administrative)
▪︎ Record everything

Incident occurred in the West Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.

“It’s insane, we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security.”
