Dear the media,
When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.
The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.
Sincerely,
Factual reality

You asked for it! We delivered Quack-O-Grams to our members of Congress urging them to #ImpeachRFK, and get that Quack out of office!

There are over 123 million forcibly displaced persons in the world due to persecution, conflict & climate change. On World Refugee Day, we stand in solidarity with refugees & call on governments—including the US—to meaningfully support them in rebuilding their lives with dignity.
At a time of record displacement and shrinking support, we always choose solidarity over silence.
This #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour refugees not just with our words, but with action, empathy and unwavering support.

Whenever I criticize reckless, dangerous, and harmful wildlife harassment from elements of the SCUBA diving with sharks industry, one of them inevitably replies "surely this is better for sharks than killing them and cutting off their fins?!?!"
My dude those are not our only two options here.

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

Also, none, zero, have questioned Trump on disappearing for three days last week and afterwards, sporting a catheter tied to his leg.
WTF? If that were Joe Biden, they would be screaming at him about the pi$$ bag. It's infuriating. WHY I barely watch any MSMers anymore.

I’ve had that “oh, no — last time …” dread all week.
But when I asked why he still comes when it dredges such painful memories, "Because I have to."

From the scanner right now: LAPD is taking rubber bullets from LASD. I am not joking. (They're in each other's crossfire, it's a clusterfuck that they've largely brought on themselves)
