This boils my blood. I'll vote for anyone who is willing to declare war on the terrorist state of Israel. That is the only war that would truly bring world peace.
“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah. Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah. Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah. "The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him. Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

BUT IRAN IS READY TO MAKE A DEEEALLL!!
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran just put a $30K bounty on U.S. troops, dead or alive, doubling the reward if a woman makes the kill, and offering to buy the weapon used at twice its value. Iran's Army chief Major Gen. Hatami followed that up with a statement that leaves little room for interpretation: "The expulsion of the United States has been carried out. They are no longer permitted to enter the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, or the Strait of Hormuz." A country issuing battlefield bounties and declaring U.S. forces permanently expelled from the region isn't signaling a return to the negotiating table anytime soon. CENTCOM Cmdr. Brad Cooper is reportedly in Israel advocating for continued military action, described by one source as essentially functioning as an IDF commander who happens to wear an American uniform. Gen. Keane, one of the few remaining voices of restraint inside the Pentagon, is said to be increasingly frustrated and losing influence over a process moving rapidly toward further escalation. Trump is believed to be considering a ground assault on one of Iran's Gulf islands after the midterms, and the military leadership that might pump the brakes appears to be running out of road. On the broader strategic picture, America has lost Afghanistan, Iraq, and is now likely losing Iran, driven in each case by the same foreign policy establishment now eyeing Russia and China as the next frontier. "What's left is great power war. God help us." The trend line is not working in America's favor, and Washington does not appear to have noticed... @WeTheBrandon

“There simply is no Jazz without Mr Armstrong..” No Rock & Roll either. The truth is just that stark.
Today would have been Louis Armstrong's birthday. There simply is no jazz without Mr. Armstrong.... I was scheduled to record with him shortly after this photo was taken. Sadly, he died before it could happen.

Has to be at least USD 1,000,000 per tanker ...
🇺🇸 The U.S. just sent a tanker through the Omani waters corridor with everything overhead AWACS, fighter jets, MQ-4C Triton drone, P-8 Poseidon out of Bahrain, full air cover package. It's basically a proof of concept with an audience. Washington is demonstrating that it can move oil through the Strait regardless of what Iran says or does about it and doing so with enough firepower overhead to make the point impossible to miss. The corridor either holds or it doesn't and the whole world is watching this particular tanker find out. Source: @MenchOsint / Writer: Oliver

He right tho I read about queerness to learn And lead with love in my convos But I don't crave 🍆 And anyone who craves by reading Feel free ...
Destigmatizing queerness does not lead to gay conversion or recruitment. That is a scare tactic. It actually leads to more honesty, more safety and better health, for individuals and community. No straight person can be recruited into queerness any more than a gay one can become straight. What can happen is that people who have felt pressured and afraid can emerge into their truth, which we should all encourage. Be yourselves people. Be brave. Be free. #happypride BTW, @donlemonofficial and I used to have a blast on his show. Lol
