"We all have the same 24 hours." Use public transport? Your 24 hours are not the same as those of private jet owners. Do your own cooking, cleaning, child~raising? Your 24 hours are not the same as those of someone with a full~time domestic staff. Stop this nonsense.

Never forget that #PopeBenedictXVI excommunicated a 9-year old child for having a life-saving abortion after her stepfather raped her and impregnated her with twins. Excommunicated her mother too. Guess who he didn't excommunicate? The rapist stepfather. rewirenewsgroup.com/2013/02/11/the…
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added context
According to a source cited in the linked article, there is no indication that the Pope was involved in the excommunication. Also, while the girl's mother and doctors were excommunicated, there is no mention of action taken against the girl. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

George W Bush bombed the Iraqi city of Fallujah with depleted uranium in 2004. Fifteen years later, Fallujah has the highest rate of birth defects in the world. Higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the US dropped atom bombs on them.

I'm old enough to remember when the IOF crushed 23-year old U.S. citizen Rachel Corrie to death with a bulldozer, then celebrated with pancakes that had her face on them. Not a single U.S. legislator acknowledged Israel's murder of Rachel Corrie, or agreed to meet her parents.

Today, @VP and I met in the Situation Room with the U.S. hostage deal negotiation team following the murder of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages by Hamas. We are devastated and outraged. Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. We also discussed next

Israel has wiped out over 900 bloodlines in Gaza since October 7th. As in, killed every single living member of the family, in every generation. As in, no survivors of that family name. As in - genocide.

A Florida woman spent 6 days in jail on theft charges after giving her husband's gun to police. She was trying to protect herself from domestic violence. Her husband spent 1 day in jail. He was accused of ramming his wife's car after a divorce hearing & running her off the road.

Never unsee this photo, world. Never forget that in the moment when Israel was slaughtering 136 children a day in Gaza, not one single white U.S. Congressperson not ONE could bring themselves to call for a ceasefire.

I find it physically painful to see someone tear apart a painting for a political reason. There is something evil in it.

Israel has destroyed over 800,000 olive trees in Palestine since 1967. This ecocide has been likened to the slaughter of the buffalo by white settlers on the American continent. The colonizer's goal is always to break indigenous people by severing their connection to the land.

“I hugged the olive tree… I’d raised the tree like my child.” On November 27, 2005, a Palestinian woman was photographed hugging an olive tree after it was attacked by Israeli settlers. Get to know the story behind this iconic image.

For the millionth fucking time: Israel has NO right to defend itself because it is ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING PALESTINE and ILLEGALLY ATTACKING LEBANON. Stop debating this canard. Palestine and Lebanon DO have the right to defend themselves under international law. Always. Stop
