I do not buy the bishops’s excuse for the White House posting their praying over Trump. First, they posed for a staged photo. They could’ve prayed from the couches, or asked for no photos while praying. Second, you loved the publicity until the blowback. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I am so sorry for the residents of one Hebron neighborhood which is being turned in to rubble as revenge for the terrorist attack last week. Since two people come from that area all 4,000 residents must be collectively punished. This is the Israel of Netanyahu. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

I wish the media would talk more about Christa Pike’s hospital care, because no patient in her condition would not have an IV. The hospital found a vein that the incompetent prison staff could not find and caused her cruel suffering. And I’m not a death penalty advocate.

We have to face the fact that these colleges treat sexual assaults the same way churches have to protect the institution’s prestige. Yes, some students are punished & expelled. But there are testimonies of women still seeing their abusers on campus.

This is totally odd thought, but after seeing photos of Trump at last night’s state dinner in à tux that was comically too small I imagined Melania as a dominatrix forcing Pawpa to wear it for embarrassing her with his WH Barbie doll.

Sama Safi is a 20-year-old Palestinian-American psychology student is in her 4th month of imprisonment in an Israeli jail without charges. If we have such close relations with Israel why is she still in jail for nothing but suspicion? No American would be held this long without charges in the USA.

Rudy Giuliani hide 1,700 documents that showed that the environment after 9/11 was toxic and every mayor afterwards did the same. So I don’t care what he thinks aboutt Mamdani attending Friday’s memorial. Mamdani released those files when RG was only concerned about lawsuits.

Now that Israeli defense minister Katz is ordering IDF soldiers to not protect Palestinians from colonizers in the West Bank & to leave protection to the inadequate Israeli police the families being besieged will be forced out. Since 1917 Palestinians were never meant to be seen as having rights.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard à network meteorologist say, “a chance of a tornado or two.”

Today in Gaza 112 people were buried after their bodies were recovered from a building IDF bombed in November 2023. 40 were children, 80 were women and 7 were disabled.Hundreds more still need to be retrieved from this one site.

Sama Safi is now in her 3rd month of imprisonment by the IDF. Sama is a 20-year-old Palestinian-American psychology student at Birzeit University, was arrested by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a pre-dawn raid on her family home in Ramallah on June 2, 2026.

After Trump’s threat to cancel the nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia unless it signs on to the Abraham Accord I am hoping MBS walks away and gives the contract to France or South Korea. SA shouldn’t compromise its demand for a Palestinian state to please Trump.

“Workers treating algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool dumped containers of \(12\%\) hydrogen peroxide into the water. Because hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer, it can weaken the bond of pool coatings and strip paint, particularly if the coating was not fully cured…”

Was holding an event to show off the $1Bn refurbished Qatari 747 as his temporary Air Force One a good thing when the Iran MOU is under attack, the $12+M no bid reflecting pool renovation is a joke, & inflation is 4%? One billion dollars on a renovated 747 that will be used for one year!

Two things on my mind tonight. Israel must leave Lebanon as part of MOU with Iran. Cool. IDF shouldn’t be there, but we can d the job, or us and Turkey which will piss off Bibi. Cool++ Next, ballroom will cost $600M and Pawpa only raised $300M. We’re gonna be stuck for 1\2Bn & No we don’t want it.

It is now a week since Sama Safi, a 20-year-old Palestinian-American honors student at Birzeit University, was kidnapped from her family’s West Bank home by IDF. Only small press about this mostly thanks to @vonhollrn.senate.gov Hoping @zeteo.com could get more attention to this.

Well, well, well Trump has done it. He is not and we are not the leaders of the free world anymore. Our word is useless, our values are shot, our debt is out of control & the world is passing us by while we have beautiful coal. We got a golden mausoleum for the mad king.

The not-a-ceasefire we negotiated for Gaza has not been good for the daily lives of the Palestinians. Not only is Israel occupying more land than the agreed 53%, it continues to restrict essential aid. See what they are also doing to make life miserable. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

@metopera.bsky.social it’s a shame the Saudi wealth fund pulled out of their funding deal. I totally understand that Trump’s Iran war is hurting their bottom line. Specially when they’re putting $10Bn in to the Paramount Warner Brothers Discovery acquisition.

“The $2bn (£1.5bn) a week that Donald Trump was spending on his reckless war in Iran could have funded saving more than 87 million lives, the head of the UN’s humanitarian agency, Tom Fletcher, said on Monday.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It has been 26 days since we bombed a girls school in Iran. There is 99.9% certainty the we did this. The only questions are, did we bomb the school on erroneous intel, or did bomb it because the regime sent its daughters there? I’m not forgetting this murder.

@grubhubsupport.bsky.social Delivery people keep asking for a code. I’ve only ever gotten a code once. What’s happening?

Bombing civilian hospitals is a war crime. Whether this was a USA or Netanyahu bomb we are now war criminals. We are as guilty as Netanyahu & Putin of war crimes. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/w...

Another thing that got me heated from Trump’s SoU, was the way he went from blaming democrats for not funding DHS and then moving to trying to shame them on protecting citizens. If Dems had stood up he would have gone to saying the crazies would vote yes on funding with no ICE change. Not happening!

Trump claiming rent is lower is just plan crazy. Does he mean new renters are seeing lower rents? Or that my rent is going down? I know no one who has seen their rents go down and my landlord bumps up rents with each vacancy. Groceries? Prices are profit based, not supply/demand. My opinion.

Meta’s PAC money is from billionaires fighting to make more money. Meta isn’t a person, although I think the wealthy should be banned from buying politicians and elections too. “This as was bought by Meta to protect its interests & not your.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/t...

Trump will meet with Netanyahu again. Most likely Bibi wants to press Trump to destroy any Iranian nuclear program. Maybe even force regime change. What Trump should make clear that new steps to annex the West Bank aren’t getting his approval. He won’t bully Bibi to abandon those plans. AIPAC wins!

Try to convince me that Israel is full of concern & empathy for Palestinians. It’ll be hard when Israel keeps a 5-year old from receiving the life saving treatment he needs because his address is in Gaza. Even though he’s been living in the West Bank for years. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The bill forcing the release of the Epstein files was a deliberate smoke screen to keep them hidden. Republicans won’t hold Bondi accountable. Force that in to the new spending bill. See the republicans squirm. Or do nothing and play along. @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov

Non lethal rounds… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Where are the Epstein files? We’re a tiny bit of outrage? @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov @menendez.house.gov

Merry Christmas!

There are shows (one is on HBO) where a modern family has to live totally like settlers in 1870 prairie USA. I’d like to see these MAGA pundits who trivialize healthcare dropped into McDonalds jobs, lower class housing, no healthcare & applying for SNAP benefits for 60 days with 3 kids.

During Trump 1.0 he went to Christmas Eve service at an Episcopal church. Ever since then, assuming he stayed through Communion he’d have to say the confession of sins. (… we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.) I doubt this means nothing to him.

Peace on Earth & Mercy Mild, God & Sinners Reconciled… Not in Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Acknowledging today as World AIDS Day. Whether the Trump administration likes it or not.

Thanksgiving Day I read a report that Gaza hospitals were still desperately still in need of such basics as gauze, antibiotics, etc. Here’s why and we must not forget the people. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ukraine is rejecting Trump’s plan right now at the UN Security Council. ⬇️

@menendez.house.gov No attention is being paid to increase Medicare supplemental rate increases. My old plan is ending & a similar plan is much higher. And what about automatic Medicare cuts do to increase to the deficit after the Big Beautiful Bill was passed? 2026 doesn’t look good for seniors!

I got Medicare supplemental insurance sticker shock today. My 2025 Aetna plan is being cancelled and the similar 2026 is over 4X as expensive. This has nothing directly with ACA premiums, but is some indirect effect. Probably less ACA policies means companies need more revenue off elders backs.

I live in Jersey City Heights which is a low-middle class neighborhood. My local grocery store is hurting from Trump withholding SNAP benefits. This is a privately owned store & not a major corporation chain that could be offering major 50+% discounts to SNAP recipients.
