🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

It didn't take long for Satanyahoo to break the ceasefire...

Izrahell informed the UN it will only permit 300 not 600 aid trucks into Gaza daily, as mandated by the ceasefire.

Then z10 terrorists murdered 5 more Christian & Muslim Palestinians in Gaza City's Shujayea neighborhood...

⭕️Statement from Gaza’s Ministry of Interior and National Security:
—
🔻Opening the door for repentance and general amnesty for gang members “not involved in bloodshed” to regularize their status.

Following the implementation of the ceasefire ending Israel’s war of extermination against our people...

Based on the principles of justice and national responsibility, and in the interest of internal unity and the restoration of public order, the Ministry of Interior and National Security announces the opening of a repentance and general amnesty window for all those who joined these gangs but were not involved in murder or bloodshed.

They are called to surrender themselves to the security services during a one-week period beginning Monday, October 13, 2025, and ending Sunday, October 19, 2025, in order to regularize their legal and security status and close their cases permanently.

The Ministry warns that anyone who refuses to surrender or persists in violating the law will face strict legal action by the competent authorities. No one will be allowed to undermine public security or the rights of citizens under any circumstances. Consider this a final warning.

Ministry of Interior and National Security

It is absolutely critical for Palestine to no longer be subject to Israeli control over its borders. Gaza needs a harbor, an airport, and an end to the illegal blockade Israel has been running for 2 decades.

let's get real. the media currently slobbering all over Dear Leader's ass need to get some perspective.

none of the people involved in this ceasefire can be trusted. not Donny, not Bibi, and not the leadership of Hamas. it's only matter of time before this *latest* ceasefire is breached.

A pause in the genocide is not ending the genocide. A slowing down of the genocide is not an end to the genocide. The only way the genocide ends is the dismantling of the genocidal apartheid colony. Free Palestine.

I got some Roma heritage and it’s amazing some of the prejudice against them that still exists in Europe and Germany never set up reparations funds for them the way they sent $ billions to Israel because the Roma aren’t running a western colonial military base
