As a photographer, I spend a lot of time on construction sites and many have scaffolding, but I’d say hell no to that!!

What a feat of engineering that scaffold is on Zagreb cathedral. Shame it’s closed for visitors but scaffolding is something to see

In the end, Israel lost.

It didn’t defeat Hamas, but it did demolish global good will towards it and its future.

It achieved NONE of its strategic objectives and lost an entire generation of future decision makers.

Palestine tragically lost many many innocent lives,

Maddow reminded us tonight of the August 2024 report of how all signs point to Egypt giving felon 10 million after they withdrew it in 200 pound bags for his 2015 campaign. Explains why he lavishes Egypt with praise, as he did again today. Remember the story came out right before the election.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark

For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

We’ve paid into a system our entire lives so that very minimal societal needs can be met and at this point all of our tax money is going towards KKKristian Nationalism.

We gotta SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN.

But they won’t even show up to work to stop your health insurance premiums from doubling.

Any NYPD officer who doesn't want to work under Mamdani should quit. He can then hire cops who aren't fascist, racists or both, which is a good thing.

“No Kings means no paychecks?” Scott, that’s not how government works; that’s how feudalism works. You’re literally arguing for the system we escaped in 1776.
No kings means exactly what America stands for— we don’t serve monarchs or dictators. The people are the power, not one man or family.
