UNHCR: Up to 3.2 million Iranians temporarily displaced in Iran as conflict intensifies | UNHCR GENEVA – Between 600,000 and 1 million Iranian households are now temporarily displaced inside Iran as a result of the ongoing conflict, according to preliminary assessments, representing up to 3.2 million people. Most of them are reportedly fleeing from Tehran and other major urban areas towards the north of the country and rural areas to seek safety. This figure is likely to continue rising as hostilities persist, marking a worrying escalation in humanitarian needs.

More than *3 million* people have been displaced inside Iran since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war, the U.N. refugee agency says. Most of them have fled Tehran and other urban areas. www.unhcr.org/news/press-r...

Republicans just blocked a Senate bill that would've funded TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and other agencies just because they want to give ICE a slush fund. Meanwhile, this is what airports across America look like.

$11.3 billion in a week.

That would have paid the enhanced ACA subsidies for a year for ~8 million Americans.

This is a missing piece that I & some retired Marines were trying to figure out when this story broke.

Every tattoo is in their file. New tattoos are updated. This tattoo is strictly prohibited & he absolutely would've known WHY immediately.

He has no plausible deniability, it's all lies.

Epstein didn’t just leave behind a scandal. He left behind a financial architecture. Dozens of entities. Hundreds of accounts. Private ledgers. Corporate shells. And two quiet professionals who helped run the system...and later inherited control of the wreckage.

The most evil monster in America today is the Republican Party and their evil media.
If you really want to know who the Republican Party is?…listen to their accusations of the Democrats.

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other? Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad.

Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?
