@reaDonald Trump
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said,
"Thank you President Trump." I have said,
"You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

SΓ‘nchez: β€œYou may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

β€œWe are not alone β€” we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Hey, ace and aro writers? You belong.

I'm asexual and aromantic. I've won awards, published dozens of shorts, have a third novel coming out soon. And you belong as much as I do.

You don't need anybody's permission to belong. But I'm still going to say it: you belong here. We all do.

Inspired by the cosmos. Born from the flames of raku. A symphony of light and movement captured.

'Skyfire' draws it inspiration from the shimmery irridescent greens, reds, golds and violets of the northern lights.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

According to the US and Israeli right wings, Iran has been in the last mile of their nuclear weapons program for my entire adult life.

Americans have hit one of Iran’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Darupakhsh. Note that Iran has no connections to international pharmaceutical companies, so they make all the needed medicine within the country. This is literally dangerous.

Inquiry for New York Times

Good afternoon,
My name is [REDACTED]
and l am a reporter for the
New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it.
With gratitude,
[REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement 

Hello [REDACTED]
We do not collaborate with The New York Times.
Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours.
The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable.
So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it.
Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

Hi, actual combat veteran here.

Stop infantilizing us. We aren't all incredibly stupid/naive/ignorant assholes.

Some of us are, and like any other demographic, those of us who are also shouldn't be Senators.

There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are).
Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace.
Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially.

The stars still inspire, even when the world gets me down.

Fortunately we had clear skies for about an hour one night last week.

What does this nebula resemble to you?
