🚨🚨HOLY SHIT‼️ A Marine Corp Veteran was protesting the war in Iran and how we shouldn’t be fighting on Israel’s behalf when Senator Tim Shelby (R-MN) steps in and fucking breaks dudes hand!

I just uninstalled the BBC app from my phone. Today, when I tried to read articles on the app, a pay wall popped up. The BBC app wants $49.99/ year for unlimited access to the articles. This is another example of keeping the working poor disenfranchised. I guess I'll just have to read Fox News now.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Omar Ilhan is a voice in the darkness for all people.

We need more strong women leaders to stand up to this regime and say No!

We quit. It started with my husband avoiding the results of US v Canada men's hockey last Sunday. He had to avoid the news, so he kept the TV off, stayed away from his phone, etc. He noticed he felt better when his blood pressure wasn't rising every morning. Now it's become a new habit.

I can not understand how the military is following through with these boat strikes. They are not invading! They are boating. WTF

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine.

Don't think "four-dimensional chess"

Think "toddler + cheerios"

NEW: U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted a request from Trump and his former co-defendants to block the release of Jack Smith’s report on the classified documents case he brought against them in Florida.

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine.

Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage.

Two colours, burning with resistance.

Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever

Slava Ukraini.

A huge study finds a link between cannabis use in teens and psychosis later Researchers followed more than 400,000 teens until they were adults. It found that those who used marijuana were more likely to develop serious mental illness, as well as depression and anxiety.

Don't be a Pot- head! Smoking this stuff makes you stupid.
Medicinal - Yes!

Many young people have the impression that marijuana is a natural drug, but a new study links early use to an increased likelihood of serious mental health problems

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, β€œWe will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.”
I’m stealing that!!
