Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

This is a family of six in a threadbare tent- even a little donation can help ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Tahrer. Tahrer worked in the beauty industry. Her family lost their home and her husband is ill. She is living in a tent with her four children, Muhammad (who just got a 93% on his high school exam), Hudhaifa, 16, Habiba, 14 and Elaf, 8.

Donald Trump just reposted a call to hang Democratic lawmakers because they urged the military not to obey illegal orders. Absolutely insane.

Mass murder is an interesting way of “testing a fragile ceasefire”.
Incredible how international media continues to provide cover for Israel’s ongoing genocide, despite all the evidence.

It’s getting cold and Ranin is pregnant and has a one year old. If you can help her winterize her tent it would be appreciated
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ranin. Ranin was a teacher before this. Ranin had two children Misk, 2 and Sanad, 1 but she lost sweet little Misk. Ranin is also pregnant and her tent was flooded this week. She has a new fundraiser and could really use help.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

The US needs to be removed from any and all negotiations involving Ukraine. Under Trump it is a proxy of Russia. World leaders, especially Europeans, need to regain independence of their national defence.

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting.

Massive petition delivered to parliament with support from major health #unions. Their demands are clear. Fully staffed shifts (I.e. Hire more staff --> pay them -->treat them with respect). More rural health funding. More funding for Māori health.

Simeon Brown has extreme opinions. He was president of an anti abortion group at uni and voted against same sex marriage. Why is he the minister of everybody's health when he obviously doesn't like women or LGBTQ+? He should be the minister for mens health!
