What a day it’s been. My dear friend Sam left us today. I can’t believe we will no longer be eating great food together and sharing the odd glass of wine down at his winery, while laughing, singing and solving the problems of the world together. Sam was a big part of our lives. He was family. He lifted our spirits when he walked in the room. Sam was everything he appeared to be on the screen. Caring, funny, intelligent, charming, honest, talented, the list could go on. He sat with me while I recovered in hospital and I sat with him when he needed me. We shared a lot in this life and for that, I will be always thankful. Rest easy, dear Sam. You are always in our hearts.

Gaza is being annihilated.
Thousands upon thousands of children are dead. Entire bloodlines erased. And the United States is the supplier, sponsor, and shield of the killing.
Netanyahu is not a defender.
He’s a butcher.
A fascist running from jail who’s building his legacy on mass graves.
Trump is insane .
Biden enabled it all .
Harris went with him.
This isn’t “complicated.”
It’s calculated.
You don’t “accidentally” flatten hospitals, starve cities, bomb refugees in tents or bomb convoys labeled UN. You do that when you know you’ll get away with it. And the U.S. ensures these crimes continue.
Every liberal who says “I don’t support Netanyahu but…” Every progressive who “wishes for peace” but won’t say the word occupation— You’re complicit. You are lubricating the machine of murder with your cowardice.
And don’t dare hide behind antisemitism to justify silence.
Antisemitism is real.
But using it to silence truth while bombs fall on children is a grotesque betrayal of every moral code.
Criticizing a government that carries out war crimes is not hate.
It’s obligation.
And if your politics can’t confront genocide, then your politics are trash:
No more money.
No more bombs.
No more fake neutrality.
No more bipartisan War Inc gorging on profits wrapping themselves in flags .
You are either against genocide. Or you are part of it.
Now pick a side.
As promised,
I want to change someone's life and send 10,000 $XRP (~$24,000) to not one person by tomorrow.
Just like, retweet and comment 'done'.
