No woman having an #abortion has ever killed a classroom full of children.
#AbortionIsHealthcare, #GunViolence kills.

Nev Schulman

"How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, and an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.
It makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?"

This is the face of the health care crisis in America.

It’s what I’m fighting to change.

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

In Memory of
MELISSA HORTMAN
Former Minnesota House Speaker
1970 - 2025
Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.
A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.
We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage.

You say love,
but in the undertone
in the unheard
is control-
you say love,
but mean possession
like I’m an antique you
must own-
you say love,
but mean manipulation
like I’m playdo in your
hands;

You say love
but you can’t love me,
not the way
I need

As hostages are being handed over to IDF, Israeli defense minister tweets about bombings to follow

Israel's great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas's terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States.
This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons.
I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.

Sekin tässä masentaa, se että natsipaskamaisuuksiin valmiit kansalaiset löytyvät niin nopeasti ja helposti. Eilen he olivat puolirikollisia nettisyrjäytyneitä tai muita rassukoita pilleribodaajia, nyt lähimmäisiään pieksäviä "poliiseja".

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Livekuvaa Trumpista ja saattueesta joka tuo Hamasin vapauttamia vankeja. Raportit koko liveseurannassa nyt aamulla kun katsoin keskittyy israelilaisiin. Palestiinalaisia tuskin edes mainitaan. Kyllä tässä prosessissa maailma on unohtamassa palestiinalaiset.

What is #fascism, after all, many ask.
Read the signs. It is happening even when you read them.

Of course I am happy that things took a step in this direction but sorry I have very little confidence in the new #Ceasefire.
It is basically a 2-person wank ring with #trump who gives zero fucks about the #palestine people and only has his eyes on #nobelpeaceprize, and #netanyahu, who.. 1/x

The cartoon shows several world leaders, eg Trump and Netanyahu recognisable, lifting a battered, half-dead dove with broken wings and missing feathers into the air. The dove, symbolizing peace, looks unable to fly while the caption above says, “Fly, my pretty! Fly!”, suggesting a futile or hypocritical attempt to promote peace.

En sekuntiakaan uskonut että se loppuisi tähän 😑

Mutta hyvä että vangit saatiin vaihdettua, se vääntö ainakin loppui.

Suhde oli sama kuin sodan voimasuhteet:
Hamasilla oli 20 panttivankia ja Israel kostoksi vastaava määrä 2000 kaapattua.
