BREAKING - OUTRAGE in AMERICA: White House takes down video after Trump says, 'Don't send any money for daycare. We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, we're fighting wars. We have to take care of one thing, military protection. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things." WATCH

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso.
The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes.
About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds.
Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts.
A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe.
And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence.
Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome.
Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself.
Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game.
This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first.
The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America.
Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

“When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That’s if you want to teach them to think.”
— Bertrand Russell

We need a mass world coalition to stop Israel’s genocidal march throughout the Middle East and the lawless terrorism and apartheid within its own borders. Boycott, Divest, and Sanction is the recipe to stop further violence. It’s Dr Martin Luther King’s strategy of peaceful change. We must deploy it en mass and create a coalition of those who we may not agree with politically on other fronts but find common ground on this rolling justice. It has awoken the moral center in most people.

Police brutalize Black people while yelling “comply.” See how his hands were raised above his head as an officer kicked him in the back. That’s racism in action

JUST IN: Three thousand ships are anchored in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Twenty thousand seafarers are aboard them. Fresh food ran out two weeks ago. Perishables are rotting in refrigerated holds whose generators are burning through the last reserves of diesel. Water is rationed. Mental health is deteriorating. No mass evacuation plan exists. No humanitarian corridor has been negotiated. No international body has the authority or the means to move twenty thousand people off three thousand ships through a five-nautical-mile channel controlled by the IRGC.
These are the people who move the global economy. Every barrel of oil that reaches a refinery was carried by a seafarer. Every container of goods that stocks a shelf was loaded by one. Every tonne of fertiliser that feeds a field was shipped by one. The war has trapped the invisible workforce that makes globalisation function, and the world has not noticed because the world never notices seafarers until the shelves are empty.
The ships themselves are worth tens of billions. The cargo aboard them is worth more. Crude oil, liquefied natural gas, urea, ammonia, consumer electronics, automotive parts, and 200 cryogenic containers of helium that are boiling off at a rate that no engineer can reverse. The stranded fleet is a floating warehouse of every molecule the global economy needs, and the molecules are degrading while the crews ration drinking water. The cargo is valued higher than the people guarding it, and neither can move.
The IRGC’s Larak corridor clearance system does not only control entry. It controls exit. A vessel that wants to leave the anchorage zone must obtain the same clearance code, submit the same documentation, and receive the same pilot escort as a vessel seeking to transit. The customs border works in both directions. These crews are not stranded by geography alone. They are stranded by bureaucracy, the same bureaucracy Iran wrapped in the language of sovereign maritime governance when the parliamentary committee approved the Hormuz Management Plan. The toll booth charges for passage through. It also charges for passage out.
No centralised evacuation exists because evacuation at this scale would require IRGC approval, and requesting approval would legitimise the system the United States refuses to recognise. So the crews wait. The International Transport Workers Federation issues statements. P&I clubs cover individual medical evacuations by helicopter. Flag states, predominantly Panama, Liberia, and the Marshall Islands, register ships but do not operate navies. The system that made global shipping cheap by divorcing flag from nationality has left twenty thousand people without a government willing to retrieve them.
The seafarers are from the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia. Countries whose workers crew the world’s merchant fleet because the monthly pay of $1,500 to $3,000 exceeds anything available at home. They signed contracts to deliver cargo across oceans. They did not sign contracts to become indefinite residents of a war zone, rationing water on a ship whose cargo of ammonia could feed a million people if it could reach a port that is 40 nautical miles and one IRGC clearance code away.
The helium boils off. The fertiliser waits. The crude oil sits. And the people who carry it all drink less water today than yesterday.
The supply chain has a human body at the very bottom of it. The body is thirsty.

Everyday that goes by ... I'm being more and more radicalized against Israel...
Not Jews or Jewish people but the current regime in Israel that seems to be hell bent on sowing chaos in the region.
If you can't see it... I don't know what to tell you.

I know this is going to sound alarmist but at some point, we as humanity have to come together and ban the use of drones in warfare.
They are an existential threat to humanity on or exceeding the same level of chemical and biological weapons because of just how mass producible and automated they can become.
In the past few years we were lucky that they still required some human operation to maintain flight, navigational control and were limited in range.
With AI things have changed. Automated navigation, longer ranges, AI driven guidance to targets that doesn't require GPS or a connection to operators.
My biggest fear is that one day someone puts these things on a ship and launches them in waves at cities. Look at the situation in the Dubai, Qatar, Kiev, Moscow, Tehran, Tel Aviv etc...
Now imagine these things flying over New York, LA, Washington DC, Beijing, Tokyo, Rio, Seol, Paris, Mumbai, Hong Kong etc...
We came together as humanity to ban the use of Chemical and Biological weapons after WW1. We need to come together again and ban the use of these things ASAP.

Warren Buffett says he has completely cut off Bill Gates and hasn’t spoken to him since the Epstein files were exposed.
He admits Gates could have brought him to New York to meet Epstein, but says he’s “lucky” that never happened.
