Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Reposting this important story:
Almost half of the people currently in ICE custody have neither been convicted of nor charged with any crime.
ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers.
Striking report by @JuliaEAinsley and @strickdc

A child dies of malnutrition every 15 seconds, as 185,535 boxes of special food for starving children are stacked in a warehouse in Rhode Island, paid for by American taxpayers. After shutting USAID, the Trump administration is just sitting on the boxes. nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opini…

Societal torture.

Happening now: 1,000 Jews and Palestinians are gathered at the Gaza border, holding photos of Palestinian children killed by Israeli airstrikes and Israeli hostages still held by Hamas—demanding an end to the war and the release of the hostages.

“A full-blown humanitarian emergency in Gaza is no longer looming. It is here, and it is catastrophic.”
“signs of prolonged starvation are becoming more frequent and alarming”
“Will the world be complicit in Gaza’s collapse, or part of its recovery?”

It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.

I haven’t seen any evidence anywhere that she did anything other than write an op-ed. If there’s other evidence against her, we need to see it, now. Otherwise we’re looking at deeply chilling, profoundly un-American behavior.

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators.

Imagine if your country was invaded, tens of thousands of children were kidnapped, maternity wards bombed, tens of thousands killed, and you're expected to sit through lectures about you being the cause of the war and visits to Ukraine to see the truth called propaganda.
