along with a link to WHO's press release.

The genocide in Gaza is no better than the Crimes Against Humanity right here in the USA.

It is tiresome to learn of atrocities, injustices, the murder of innocents, the destruction of families, the incessant cruelty and barbarity, day in and day out. But I think it's important to remember that they WANT us exhausted, emotionally bankrupt, in despair and terror, so they can control us. So they can continue their abominations unimpeded.

So it is important to stay informed. It's important to continue caring. Self care is also important, and after I hit post I'm gonna turn on the youtube, watch poker or true crime, and play games on my iPad until I pass out. Not that my dreams are always rosy these days

This news came to me today on the heels of the expose by the Guardian about atrocious conditions in Miami FL. The headline alone is just a portion of the crimes being committed in this hellhole; as my sign for last Thursday's Good Trouble stated, "in our name" "on our dime"

even the genocide in Gaza is financed by our tax dollars. It is heartbreaking true but I am also outraged. Righteously!

I think most of us here remember the 1985 Live Aid concert. Why is no one doing such a concert for Gaza? Lonestarblue Jul 2025 #29
