I’d rather live next door to someone who crossed the oceans with a child to escape death and violence than a citizen who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.

This is one of the most important churches in Ukraine. The Russians would not strike it by accident. Putin is deliberately attacking Christianity, history, culture

FUCK RUSSIA 🤬😤

A heartbroken elderly Albanian man says Jared Kushner has taken everything he spent a lifetime building, including his land, his home, and the future he hoped to leave behind for his children. He says he returned home one day only to find his property sealed off behind barbed wire, with men in black uniforms standing guard and refusing to let him step inside the house he once called his own. In a single moment, he says, the life he had worked for was gone. “It was the end of the world. The end of the world.” “I felt imprisoned.” “They took my freedom.” “They took my livelihood.” “They took my land.”

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs. college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars. everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

Wake up America. ...............WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Why keep asking him? Because the administration keeps approving actions that have their root in his deranged stolen election assertion: the weaponization fund (paying off people who believed in stolen election assertion); the FBI seizures of ballots in Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona; the arm-twisting of Colorado governor to pardon woman convicted of tampering with election machines. On and on. AND he’s seeding notion of continuing “rigging” THIS year. It would be journalistic malpractice NOT to continue asking Trump about this.

Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.
