Israel killed Rico Pramudia in South Lebanon. He died of his injuries today. He wasn’t a fighter — he was a UN PEACEKEEPER from Indonesia. Israel killed him anyway. And not a single whisper from Western media. No international outrage. No justice. No accountability.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

Only 40 goals left for Cristiano Ronaldo to reach 1000. The countdown is on. 🇵🇹⏳

@stealthsteve360 @GavinNewsom No when you break democratic norms because you know you and your party are sinking like a stone and you have to cheat to win there’s a difference LOSER!

Can’t pass a budget, but can pass a rigged map. Can’t pay their teachers, but can do Trump’s bidding. Can’t fund law enforcement, but can bend the knee to their Dear Leader. What a disgusting display of party over country.

October 19, 2025. On the first day of the olive harvest in Turmus'ayyer, the Israeli Defense Force leads a group of farmers directly into a brutal ambush by armed settlers. These people need to be in prison by tomorrow, and the people of this village, and all across Palestine, need to be protected. Enough is enough.

COURT (FIELD) RUSH GRADE: 10/10 NO NOTES. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. The speed is something I’ve never seen before in my life. Go off UVA 🫡

@IsraeliPM And what will history remember you as?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: History will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews.
