Saleh was a man of pure emotion & humanity. For the past 2 years, we could see and feel everything he felt. He connected to everyone around him and to those on the other side of his screen safe in our homes. With all the horror in Gaza the past 2 years, losing him too is shattering. #freepalestine

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Africa’s poverty and the West’s wealth go hand in hand, each the result of the other. Foreign aid and charity become the perfect white saviour product: neatly packaged, expertly marketed.

Why is it the same people who scream “WAKE UP!” when it comes to their pseudoscience and conspiracy theories are the same people who chant “GO WOKE, GO BROKE!”

Tourists want to come to Barcelona, use as much water as they want, complain that none of the fountains are flowing, but don’t want it to rain here, ever. Especially during rainy seasons. Don’t be that kind of tourist.

Intersex people exist! But they continue to be mutilated at birth because people can’t wrap their heads around it 🤦🏽♀️
Hospitals continue non-consensual intersex surgeries while shutting down gender-affirming care - LGBTQ Nation
The procedures are meant to "correct" sex variations and have been condemned by human rights organizations.

Why? How can an administration deny a judges orders..do what they want with NO respect for the law. No respect for judges orders. None.
Republicans are NOT law/order followers. They are law breakers.
Ideological Supremacy!
