What? Peaceful Israel?
🇱🇧 La Force intérimaire des Nations unies au Liban (Finul) a accusé l'armée israélienne d'avoir ouvert le feu sur ses membres dans le sud du pays, sans faire de blessés, et a appelé Israël à cesser toute attaque contre les Casques bleus.

Thinking out loud: There's a lot of really heroic indy media documenting how inhumane Stephen Miller's dragnet is.

We need a campaign noting that if you want to fix the housing market you need to fire Stephen Miller.

Hier serviert @fragdenstaat.de unserer ach so sparwütigen Regierung quasi auf dem Silbertablett, wo sie nennenswertes Geld her kriegen können. Armen-Bashing muss aufhören. „Was kosten uns die Reichen?“ ist die eigentlich Frage, die Konsequenzen zur Folge haben muss!

Out with them
As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach.

Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

Excellent.
In Wake Forest, a suburb of Raleigh, NC, the incumbent Mayor kowtowed to the scumbag leaders of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and last month rejected a bid to merely recognize the rights of the LGBTQ community to exist in her town. She was CRUSHED 70-30% in her reelection bid. 😎

Bonne question 🙂
Je vois encore un article sur les riches qui se barrent quand on leur parle de payer des impôts.
Ca m'inspire quand même une question : Pourquoi faut il les convaincre de rester, si de toute façon ils ne paient pas leur dû ? Ca sert à quoi ?

I still do not understand how this all could happen. Just because voters are full of hate.
This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle.

This took place on 10/31/2025 in Evanston, IL.

Larry Bushart, 61, spent over a month in jail over a liberal meme he posted on Facebook. He celebrated his freedom by eating wings, drinking margaritas — and posting a bunch more liberal memes on Facebook. Heart of a true boomer poster.
