I have never seen anything so disrespectful to our US Service Members in my entire life.

Have you ever noticed that it’s socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money.”

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

the part they never teach you:

inflation is permanent.

$6 coffee doesn’t go back to $3.

your only defense is earning more.

but the moment workers ask for that they call it a threat to the economy.

whose economy.

The same people who said masks were "literally 1984" think this is fine.

⭕️ REPORT | Israel has killed 987 Palestinians and launched more than 1,450 airstrikes and shelling attacks since agreeing to a “ceasefire” in Gaza last October

Israeli forces have carried out at least 3,224 ceasefire violations across Gaza since the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News.

🔸Field Attacks🔸
Wednesday alone saw 12 armed field incidents, including repeated artillery and naval attacks across the Strip:
🔹 Israeli artillery shelled northern Gaza
🔹 Artillery shelling east of Deir al-Balah
🔹 23-year-old Faten Faisal Odeh Al-Arouqi was wounded by Israeli live fire east of Al-Maghazi Camp
🔹 Israeli warships opened fire toward the beaches and coastline of Gaza City in two separate incidents
🔹 Israeli artillery shelled northeastern Gaza City
🔹 Two civilians were wounded by Israeli warship fire west of Al-Nuseirat
🔹 Artillery shelling east of Khan Younis in two separate attacks
🔹 Ahmad Rafiq Al-Batsh was abducted by armed militias operating under the protection of the Israeli army east of Gaza City’s Al-Tuffah neighborhood

The UN-backed @BoardOfPeace has not condemned a single attack.

Since the “ceasefire” took effect, 987 Palestinians have been killed, including 236 children, 110 women, and 30 elderly people, while 3,109 have been wounded, nearly half of them children, women, or elderly. A total of 95 civilians have also been newly abducted.

Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. Aid and movement restrictions remain severe:

🔸Rafah crossing🔸
▪️ Only 6,674 of 19,400 planned crossings have been carried out (~34.4%)
▪️ 88 individuals have been turned back at the crossing
▪️ Gaza’s Health Ministry says roughly 20,000 patients are awaiting Israeli approval to leave the Strip for treatment abroad, and that about 10 die each day while waiting.

🔸Aid entry🔸
▪️ Only ~36.1% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered, averaging about 217 trucks per day compared with the 600 agreed under the ceasefire
▪️ Fuel deliveries remain at just 14.7% of required levels
▪️ The WFP estimates 77% of Gaza’s population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition, amid what MSF in May 2026 described as a “manufactured malnutrition crisis.”

The secretary of transportation was quite insistant when he claimed this sort of road decoration was extremely dangerous

If Hezbollah had killed 15 Israelis in the past 24 hours, including a rescue worker, it would be deemed a barbaric terrorist attack.

But because Israel killed 15 Lebanese, instead it’s called a ceasefire.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.

He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.

Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

Dear small percentage of Boomers who can actually be told things:

Here are some facts, to help you understand what Millennials are trying to tell you.

Here is what the middle-class experience is right now. Not for losers, but for your average hardworking, but unexceptional, dude born in 1992.

- No company pensions. Ever. No job offers this.
- Laid off every 2 to 3 years.
- No vacations. Ever. If you are lucky, you have 10 to 15 days of annual "PTO" (paid time off). But this is not vacation. This is your sick days. You can take a break with whatever's left over.
- If you are not lucky, you have "unlimited" PTO. Which sounds nice, but in practice it means you get sick days and nothing else.
- They pay social security taxes, but they know they will never receive those benefits, because the system will crash first.
- Not promoted. Ever.
- No annual raises. Instead, these are effectively pay cuts, because they don't match inflation.
- Because of this, can only get a raise by changing jobs. Some judicious prevarication about salary history is recommended.
- Good chance you'll have to change careers at least once, possibly more, as industries get rugpulled by offshoring or work visas.
- Total mortgage cost on a median house in 2026 is 104,600 minimum-age-hours. This is 50+ years of full-time work.
- For comparison, a 1972 purchase would be 23,750 minimum-wage-hours, about 11 years of full time work.

What this all adds up to is that Millennials can't buy homes until they are past their child-bearing years.

And, no, scrimping and saving doesn't change that equation. This is with scrimping and saving.

I am not a Millennial. I am GenX, the child of Boomers. I do not need to be told how much Boomers forwent luxuries to save, and how hard they worked. I know exactly how much they did of each. I was there. I saw.

They worked hard at the beginning of their careers, and lived frugally for about 5 years to save up a down payment. After that, things gradually eased up, bit by bit. Until, by retirement, a lot of them had nice fat stock portfolios and multiple rental property investments, and Caribbean cruise holidays.

And this seems, to them, like a fair and natural progression.

But as America has been hollowed out and by a corrupt political machine, those doing the robbing have left the Boomers whole, and placed the burden of that corruption squarely on the backs of younger generations.

For Millennials, there's no light at the end of that tunnel.

Just another tunnel.

And another after that.

They have been standing between Boomers and the reality of the modern economy for 20 years.

At some point, they are going to break.

🚨 Texas AG Ken Paxton illegally fired staffers who reported his corruption to the FBI.

He was then sued in court and lost, forcing Texas taxpayers to pay $6.6 million in damages.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Talarico: “This is the oldest strategy in the world—divide and conquer. They divide us by party, by race, by gender, by religion, by all this culture war stuff, so we don’t notice that they are picking our pockets, that they are closing our public schools all over Texas, they are gutting our healthcare, raising our premiums for Texans all over the state, and they are raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves…Texans see through this game. They realize that we are being pitted against each other with these old, tired culture war fights so that corrupt politicians like #KenPaxton can hold on to power and continue to enrich themselves and their billionaire mega donors.”👊

[Lesley Abravanel 🪩 @lesleyabravanel]

Reporter: Ken Paxton is calling you 'Talafreako.'
Talarico: He just released child rapist Adam Hoffman from jail after his wealthy atty friends got involved. Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life. He served less than a month. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

[COLE @ColeAlbritton]

This panic about James Talarico is pure smoke and mirrors.

He is a public school teacher and seminary student whose standard Christian theology on helping the poor and protecting healthcare is being twisted into cultural heresy to scare you.

Voting for a man who actively abuses his power just because you're terrified of a phantom socialist toolbox isn't "policy over perfection"

It just makes you complicit to the corruption that is poisoning our political system. And for choosing a culture war over actual good policy, well that would just make you a coward.

[joanie @laracroftbarbie]

just the worst fucking reality. the now president sexually assaults you, suffers no consequences, and then tries to criminally prosecute you while cheered on by his hordes of murderous pig worshippers

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

Your state doesn’t have personal income tax. (Which you all love to brag about)

Where do you think the money to run your state comes from beloved?

[mavsmarie @mavsmarie]

Is that Greg Abbott next to him???? Bitch I swear to all things if you really care about Texas and don’t want this PLEASE VOTE FOR GINA HINAJOSA @GinaHinojosaTX !!!!!!

Greg Abbott is co-signing this BS.

[Mayowa @Mayoveli]

This cost them about $1 trillion.

The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.

And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.
