“What they did there was torture us” Now free, the Venezuelan men the Trump administration sent to El Salvador want the world to know what they lived through.

“They knocked out one of my teeth. They messed up my knees. They messed up my ribs.”

Settler Walks Free, As Israel Holds Body of Murdered Palestinian Hostage Settlers are an intrinsic part of the Israeli state and the violence they perpetuate, such as the recent killing of Awdah Hathaleen, has been a key feature of Israel's occupation since 1967.

For Zeteo, Diana Buttu on a shocking story from the West Bank, even by Israel occupation standards:

Trump's Nazis killed equality and justice in America. Yes, this is just the latest attempt to distract from the EPSTEIN FILES, but still, what a bunch of qunts!

Trump will restore a Confederate monument in the nation’s capital “A statue honoring a racist and a traitor has no place on the streets of DC,” the city’s congressional delegate said.

Since resuming office, President Donald Trump has sought to rewrite American history, rejecting any signs of historical division and exalting some of the nation’s most notorious oppressors.

A pro-Palestine student activist group at University of Maryland has won a $100,000 settlement from the university in a lawsuit stemming from administrators’ blocking of students’ vigil for Gaza last year. “SJP will spend every dollar of the $100,000 penalty toward organizing for a free Palestine.”

For America’s 35M small businesses, tariff uncertainty hits especially hard Without predictable trade policy and stronger support systems, small firms remain vulnerable to shocks they can’t afford to absorb.

🚨 As of 2023, of those US companies that import goods, more than 97% of them were small businesses. For these companies, tariff uncertainty isn’t just frustrating – it’s paralyzing.

Lying can be hard work when you have a semblance of a conscience atrophying within you somewhere. Most senior officials in this administration are well past that stage, and, accordingly, are not similarly burdened.

🤑 HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS to be SPENT on a GAUDY BALLROOM at the White House…

Arizona mental health advocate says changes to 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline are dangerous The Trump administration is ending a specialized suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults on July 17.

"It's dangerous, it's completely unacceptable. We know that this option has been utilized by our youth. In fact, 10% of all 988 contacts have been Press 3 option."

As you may have heard, beginning July 17, callers who select Option 3 (“press 3” or text “PRIDE”) on 988 will no longer be routed specifically to LGBTQ+ trained counselors.
While this is deeply disappointing and disturbing, there are many resources still available.
