A whole bunch of people are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving.

FUCK THAT HEARTLESS DUDE!

If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.

“If the democrats don’t let us be unchecked lords of America we are going to defund everything they enjoy, like for example continuing to have a society.”

Netanyahu promoted war.

Randy Fair @southerngayteacher.bsky.social · 14h

When people like the Israeli prime minister talk about “peace” in the region, the peace they appear to be referencing is the peace of finally being able to ignore the existence of Palestinians. A peace in which Palestinians have been expelled from their homeland.

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."

The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm'

Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."
