"Jihad" is one of those words that MAGA continues to misuse to scare people, just like intifada.
Intifada is an uprising against occupation and oppression.
Jihad has several meanings, and yet MAGA seems incapable of using any of the correct ones.

Pretty embarrassing for the United States when you compare how Cuba and Jamiaca prepared for and responded to Hurricane Melissa with how Trump mishandled Hurricane Maria.
And Melissa was a much stronger storm.

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!
It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.
And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.

They stripped a 10 year old girl down, held her down and photographed her body while she screamed in pain and begged them to stop.

38yo Andrew Otazo is a South Florida legend who wanders into the mangroves that line the coast and retrieves literally tons of garbage...then hauls it out by hand.
The Washington Post recently shadowed Otazo and documented some of his incredible work.

He’s cleared 35,000 pounds of trash from Miami’s mangroves and isn’t done yet
We accompanied Andrew Otazo on a trip to the mangroves. To date, the Miami man has cleared more than 17 tons of trash, mostly from the islands around Biscayne Bay.

Tampons and pads should be in all public restrooms - ESPECIALLY schools. Stock them like toilet paper.
Scotland, New Zealand, even Kenya do it.
But not the USA, where men (and even some women) are so aggressively sexist that they fight AGAINST period products in schools.

The eye of Hurricane Melissa still hasn't made landfall in Jamaica. It's just been sitting there, hammering the island, for days now.
At 2:00 pm today, the eye will STILL be over Jamaica.
She won't even reach Cuba until 2 pm TOMORROW.
She's moving forward at about 3 mph, which is incredibly slow.

The USA has 1.3 million active military personnel. That $130 million illegal, likely foreign bribe is nothing.
$130 million = $100 per person
$22 billion to Israel = $15,384
$40 billion to Argentina would be $30,769
Republicans need to offer a serious budget and stop playing with people's lives.
