Do I hear a cockroach? A shadowy private credit firm is suddenly blocking investors from withdrawing their money.

I know there’s so much going on all over the world, but PLEASE don’t forget the unfathomable horrors Palestinian journalists have been — and continue to be — subjected to 💔😭
Palestinian journalist Shadi Abu Sido was detained in the notorious Sde Teiman prison for over 100 days. “Sde Teiman is a cemetery of the living, with torture no one can imagine, not even the human mind,” he told CPJ.

I’m curious why media platforms aren’t screaming about Donald Trump’s failed assassination attempt. Trump is still talking about the 2020 election. If someone attempted to assassinate him, he would still be talking about it? It was staged, they planned it. Continue to report about Trump/Epstein.

Did you know that the majority of American voters are now independents?
There is a good reason for that. We are sick and tired of the broken system, all the lies, and the corruption.

There seems to be a broadly based misperception that you can't be independent (as in unaffiliated) and vote.
That simply isn't so. Does anyone watch the news during elections? Independents typically play a big part in determining outcomes.
