Me: [Looking at phone] Oh that's interesting. Scientists believe that fruits make special connections with each other and get 'married' Wife: Wow, that's incredible Me: Hmm, except melons. Melons don't do that. Wife: That's odd...why not? Me: Because they cantaloupe 😅 Wife: 🤦🏽‍♀️ I can't believe I walked into that DadJokes
Netanyahu claims he bombs hospitals because they're "Hamas command centers." But an independent UN inquiry investigated Israeli bombings of 110 hospitals & found 0 evidence of such. Israel could not provide any such evidence either. These are war crimes.
Rape, torture, beatings, bombings, starvation, kidnappings, and indefinite detention of Palestinians summarize the third report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Occupied Palestine. The Commission submitted this report weeks ago, yet legacy media pretends it does not exist. Here's the breakdown legacy media won't report:
Yet another allegation of sexual assault against Trump, this time from a woman who was a minor at the time. Barely made a blip in the media. Amazing how this man can admit to sexually assaulting women for fun, and then when women say "yeah he did it to us," the response is she must be lying.🤔 But it's definitely not a cult.
MAGA Voter ID laws have nothing to do with election security, and everything to do with dismantling our democracy. It’s nothing more than modern day Jim Crow, and the receipts back up this fact. Let’s Address This.
CNN quotes an Israeli soldier suffering PTSD for having to "run over hundreds of terrorists, dead & alive." How's he magically know every person he killed was "a terrorist?" He doesn't. He knows he murdered innocent people. Stop funding these war crimes. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/21/middleeast/gaza-war-israeli-soldiers-ptsd-suicide-intl/index.html
Today Trump "worked" at McDonald's and I got to thinking that the irony of Trump's McDonald's photo op is that: •As a convicted felon he can't actually work at McD's as they don't hire felons •As POTUS he blocked a $15 min wage that would've helped countless McD's employees •As POTUS he weakend McD's employees ability to Unionize, keeping them economically powerless And now he shows up at McD's to pretend like he's a common man. In reality, his photo op is 100% fraud—which tbh defines him well.
Another Netanyahu war crime that won’t make any headlines. IDF bombed & killed 4 engineers en route to repair water infrastructure in south Gaza. They coordinated with & had approval from Israeli authorities to travel. Israel killed them anyway. Horrific.
I want all hostages released. So why is it that every person defending Netanyahu's genocidal siege on Gaza screams "release the hostages taken by Hamas"—but never mentions Palestinian hostages? The Israeli Govt currently holds ~8000 Palestinian civilians in prisons and torture camps without charge, trial, conviction, or even access to counsel—many of whom have been held hostage for several years. I want ALL hostages released. If you only care about one side—stop pretending you're seeking peace
