This is what natives refusing to abandon their homeland looks like.

The 'jewish state' bombed their homes. Hospitals. Schools. Dropped the equivalent of 6–14 nuclear bombs on them.

Yet here they remain. Steadfast. Defiant. Rooted in their land. This is Gaza. This is Palestine.

It’s a totally made up number but you know this and don’t care because you’re a notorious liar, racist and fascist.

Meet Addison, a gifted young filmmaker and one of our @GirlsAlliance members from the South Side of Chicago. She took the stage at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center this week. Take a look:

A protracted closure of the Strait will mean that innocent people thousands of miles away from the conflict starve because they can’t get fuel and fertilizer.

Absolutely hilarious. @bungarsargon spent the past 18 months ditching all of her previous ‘liberal’ political views, defending Trump nightly on CNN, only to be personally insulted and publicly humiliated like this by the Trump White House.
When will these Trump toadies learn??

NEW @WIRED: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sought to ingratiate themselves to Trump after the 2024 election — who in return mocked them behind their backs, per new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

— Zuckerberg sent Trump a photo of a letter one of his grade-school kids wrote that looked forward to the “golden age of america”

— Bezos denigrated The Washington Post to Trump and described the newspaper as one of his worst financial investments

— Trump showed off texts from Zuckerberg and Bezos to other guests, including to Elon Musk, who mocked them as “Firstclass groveling”

— Months after their dinner, Bezos tried to get a favor from Trump, telling him it was a risk for SpaceX to dominate govt space contracts

— Bezos suggested Trump tell Deputy Defense Secy Feinberg to ensure“contractor diversity,” opening the door for Blue Origin to get contracts

— But Trump ultimately screwed over Bezos after he reconciled with Musk, and instead expanded SpaceX’s access to US space launch sites

— WIRED obtained the details from “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump” by @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan ahead of June 23 release

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

1. I went to Jewish school from kindergarten to 12th grade
2. I come from a deeply Zionist family
3. I’ve been to Israel on a number of occasions, including to places that border the West Bank.

I’m an anti-Israel Jew. It’s a genocidal apartheid state. Sue me
