My heart breaks every time I see a Palestinian account begging for money to help them survive this horrific genocide, knowing I cannot afford to offer anything. 💔

What would you expect from PoiLIEvre & failed leader Andy Sneer, mocking a letter from a 7th Grader's letter thanking MPs for supporting Canada’s national school lunch program.
PoiLIEvre himself voted against that program.
He opposed it & then mocked a child who simply said thank you for it.

It is BIZARRE to hear this woman actually making sense when she's been a nutbar her entire time in congress.

The fact that she's starting to make sense while the Dems are choosing to instead do MORE bloody infighting is utterly insane.

WTF are the Dems even THINKING?

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

They absolutely dropped the ball with Walz. They were SO worried that he'd "get out ahead of Harris" that they virtually kept him hidden until there were 20 days left of the campaign FFS.

So while Israel is pretending there is a ceasefire with Palestine (it's temporary & they WILL as they have MANY times before find an excuse to start again), they are taking their frustrations of not being able to continue slaughtering Palestinians by bombing and killing people in Lebanon. 😒 This

Huge explosions were seen as Israeli air attacks hit a town in south Lebanon, killing at least one person and injuring at least seven others.

The strikes targeted a site that sold excavators and other heavy machinery.

I dunno, I suspect the close friend of Hitler that thought Germany should keep the war going as long as possible to get a better deal from the allies & lied about what he knew the Nazis were doing, would likely be building Trump his own Zeppelinfeld stadium if he were alive. 🫤

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Mr. Benioff spoke as his annual Dreamforce conference is set to begin Tuesday in downtown San Francisco, bringing 50,000 visitors to the city. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the benefits of "agentic enterprise," a business model in which humans and artificial intelligence bots work together.
Speaking by telephone from his private plane en route to San Francisco, he lamented that he has to pay for nundreds of off-duty law enforcement officers to help patrol the convention area and said that San Francisco needed to "re-fund" the police.
The city never actually "defunded" its police force, and San Francisco's violent crime rates are below those in many other U.S. cities.
But San Francisco has struggled to recruit and keep officers, and it still has problems with lower-level crimes and open-air drug use, especially in neighborhoods like the Tenderloin near City Hall. It has about 1,500 police officers, and Mr. Benioff says it ne → another thousand.
