Fake charities and brokers in Egypt are exploiting desperate Palestinian refugees from Gaza who receive little aid and are legally barred from working.
“The federal government went on tv and lied about Alex. They tried to slander his memory to cover up their crime. Not only was it wrong. It was shameful, unfair, and unacceptable. We want our sons killers brought to justice once and for all.”
Alex Pretti’s family holding their first news conference addressing the media this morning. It’s been 9 months since their son was disarmed before being shot to death by federal agents in Minneapolis.
No one has been held responsible.
For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...
In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.
I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/why-is-eve...
I don't know if I regret being homeschooled - there are pros, there are cons, counterfactuals are tricky, God only knows if regular schooling would've resulted in better life outcomes - but I do think that I would've benefited from kindergarten and possibly also 8th grade
God is Love; and though with blindness
sin afflicts all human life,
God’s eternal loving-kindness
guides us through our earthly strife.
Sin and death and hell shall never
o’er us final triumph gain;
God is Love, so Love for ever
o’er the universe must reign.
For innumerable troubles are come about me; my sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to look up: yea, they are more in number than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.
(Psalm 40:15)
How many line wives were once themselves bucket bunnies? How much of the outpouring of resentment stems from seeing too much of themselves in the bucket bunny, too much of their own life that has slipped away, too many paths not taken?
People can't be trusted. Only principles can be trusted. But principles don't exist if they aren't implemented by people, and, well, people can't be trusted
i think the masses are basically useless and unable to change things due to being entirely fickle and corralled by right wing media but i still believe in their capacity to change the world b/c i believe in magic, magic is real, witches exist, so i will always support the material struggle
It is right to rebel against this decrepit world
"Hello, Hello gens pressés les nerfs à l'envers
Qui prônent un royaume qui ressemble à l'Enfer
Prêts à mourir pour défendre la cage
qui a tué nos âmes et tout ce qu'elles renferment"

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.”
If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.
