How can a society that agrees Federal legalization & regulation of alcohol & tobacco are the best, most effective ways to keep our kids safe and insulated from these drugs then turnaround and claim that the exact opposite is the most effective way to keep other drugs from kids

ICE brutally detain elderly protester—ambulance called to scene. Agent drags him across pavement by one leg—another grabs him around his neck with both hands. He was standing in the public area when tackled from behind. Then used high-powered lights to disable cameras filming the excessive force. Incident occurred outside the ICE Processing Center in Portland, Oregon.

Abdul El-Sayed: “If you’re out of a job, it’s probably because a corporation figured out how to automate your job. If you’re out of a home, it’s probably because a corporation is speculating on the home that you should have been able to afford. If you’re out of healthcare, it’s probably because a corporation has figured out how to monetize you because you get sick”

BREAKING: Israeli troops ram UN peacekeeper vehicles with tank, destroy cameras and obstruct view of UN outposts in south Lebanon, UNIFIL says 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/x545rk?update=…

It appears that the zero enrichment poison pill killed the Islamabad negotiations yesterday. We have 9 more days in this cease fire to fix this, but we must pursue our goals not Israel's. Trump's redline has always been no nuclear weapons for Iran, not zero enrichment. Iran agrees with this and has not sought to develop or obtain a nuke since 2003 but needs to retain the ability to enrich for their "not Saddam but not Qaddafi" policy to work. This makes negotiations between the U.S. & Iran workable as the dispute is on levels of enrichment and monitoring. This is a threat to Israel getting us to do the heavy lifting in the regime change/decapitation war they want. Israel needs us chasing every trace of uranium in Iran because that ensures we stay engaged militarily in Iran, because how do we ever fully make sure Iran can't enrich without taking out the regime? This is the recipe for an endless bloody war or supporting/turning a blind eye to Israel using a WMD on Iran. Restrain Israel, get a deal, open the SOH, focus on saving our Republic, not playing empire.

This is propaganda.

The Walton family worth $538 billion forces Walmart workers to work part time paying them wages so low they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive subsidized by your taxes reshaping the entire workforce & making the Walton family the biggest welfare queen in America.

🚨BREAKING – Mexico's President has decided to roll out Universal Healthcare for all Mexicans Around 130 million citizens will begin to enjoy free healthcare from next year

@DefendOurJuries Damn! And I thought America was occupied.

BREAKING: Mass arrests under the Terrorism Act in Trafalgar Square, as hundreds defy the ban on Palestine Action. The police are knowingly unlawfully arresting peaceful protestors for holding placards which say: "I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action"

@Keir_Starmer , it’s a mystery why Palestine Action is banned in the UK while the IDF operates freely. ⚖️ 40k children & 70k civilians killed in Gaza. 2,500 in Lebanon this week. 2,000+ in Iran. As a former Human Rights Lawyer, you of all people should know this violates every international norm. How can you justify this double standard? 🏛️🇬🇧 #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #DoubleStandard #StopTheWar

One of Orwell's nightmares materialised would be this: potential war criminals and arm manufacturers implicated in a genocide allowed to roam and operate freely, while citizens get arrested for opposing a genocide.

Israel operates the most well-documented torture & rape dungeon in the world: A 42-year-old woman from north Gaza, former Sde Teiman innmate said: "She was bound naked to a metal table and repeatedly raped by two masked soldiers over the course of two days. She recalled that she was left shackled, naked and bleeding throughout the night before the soldiers returned the next day to continue raping her. Throughout her ordeal, she was filmed. Soldiers later showed her the footage while she was hung by her wrists under interrogation, threatening to publish the videos if she did not "cooperate". Amir, a 35-year-old Palestinian man also held at Sde Teiman, recounted how soldiers forced him to strip naked, before their dogs urinated on him and raped him. He described how the dog "penetrated my anus in a trained manner while I was being beaten". "This continued for several minutes. I felt profoundly humiliated and violated." ...a soldier in Sde Teiman inserted a fire extinguisher nozzle into a Palestinian prisoner’s anus and then discharged its contents into his body, resulting in severe internal injuries and intense pain."

@s_m_marandi Witkoff and Kushner……hmmm, I wonder who they do work for???

Their objective was "no deal." They don't work for the US.

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

@BeckettUnite @PatchesandBo I’ll bet anything that this idiot just watched Pirates of the Caribbean.

A demented Trump 🇺🇸 announces: •The 🇺🇸 will block all ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz •Ships in international waters that have paid Iran 🇮🇷 will be seized •Iranians who get in the way will ‘be blown to hell’ •Guns are ‘locked & loaded’ Impeach this nutjob.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

🚨 New Mexico has become the first state to make public universities tuition free for all. Nearly every state Republican tried to block this change.
