Why does the USA feel entitled to control things by military force on the other side of the world? Imagine if any country had multiple bases on US soil, we just accept that US has hundreds all over *that we know of* like this is normal. Plenty of countries have influence through diplomacy alone

This year I challenged myself to truly fast from music for Ramadan, listening to Quran recitations instead so a bonus is listening and familiarizing to more Arabic. I’m still not as far along in my comprehension as I would like. I started a lil over year ago learning modern standard & Levantine

The theme of this Ramadan across West and South Asia: Yankee Go Home

My pro tip if sabzi fails to sprout in time - buy cat grass or wheatgrass from the store and put it in a fancy drop pot 😂 many years living nowhere close to a middle eastern market forced us to get creative! Just put mine on a windowsill 🤞

Pelosi Net Worth Growing Rapidly, Per New Disclosure A new disclosure shows the House Speaker and her husband have continued to accelerate the growth of their fortune through trade in tech stocks and real estate investments.

The Anti-Corruption Act would also have prohibited:

- members of Congress from owning or trading individual stocks (+ executive officials)
- fundraising from lobbyists
- revolving-door jobs

... all things that current Dem leadership of Pelosi and Schumer defend and embrace. The bill did not move.

My children are worried we might lose our home because we can’t pay the rent.🥹

We are still £395 away from securing this month’s rent.

I believe in your kindness and the generosity of your hearts.❤️

Your support can help keep a roof over my children’s heads and bring them peace of mind. 🫂

Adham sits atop his bombed-out home, gazing at the place that was once filled with life and warmth with his family. In a few moments, everything changed; his house was destroyed, his car crushed, his office bombed, and all he has left today is hope in your compassionate hearts. His suffering intensifies, and the burdens of life have become too heavy for him to bear alone. Your donation today, however small, could be the reason Adham regains a part of his life and dignity. Thank you to every heart that chooses to stand with him in this difficult time.

Don't forget Gaza‼️📢
We are still suffering immensely, and the world has turned a blind eye once again.💔

We are slowly dying…
My campaign is losing momentum… but your support keeps us alive.

It's always about hope… Stand with us so we can live on it! ❤️ Donate now:❤️‍🩹👇🏼

The crime is not just the killing of people who surrender. The crime is telling the enemy that if they surrender, they will be killed. Because when the enemy hears that they cannot surrender peaceably, the war changes from a strategic conflict to a blood-soaked deathmatch.

If you're interested in the song playing in the background: “The Epic of Khorramshahr” by Majid Entezami is an Iranian orchestral piece that memorializes the liberation of Khorramshahr during the Iran–Iraq War. It's worth three minutes of your time, for sure! youtu.be/Abk_UFka1e0?...

Here is a video of the structure. Unfortunately, the Epstein regime had damaged it. #Iran

I need to start seeds soon & am behind schedule on sprouting greens for nowruz. Normally I’m ahead of schedule but that’s prob for the best bc I end up having to baby seedlings longer since our last frost here in HV is may 31. Reminded by seeing people further south post pics of their spring blooms

The eugenics wellness pipeline is enraging

I got a uniquely rare manifestation of a common cancer (caused by age)

I was a vegetarian with a daily meditation & bagua tai chi practice for decades before I was diagnosed

They really think they have done it all right & the vulnerable are disposable

When will the world finally stand up and end the murders of healthcare workers, aid workers, journalists, children...? Why have we all collectively allowed these to become legitimate targets?

trans people: "I finally know what joy feels like. This is the best I've felt."
Various Govs: "Neat. Also: fuck you. Fuck your meds. Also die."
Cis people: "Why're trans people so hostile to the government?"

Golly gee willikers, Steve from accounting, it's a real fucking head scratcher, isn't it?

The shoot and cry propaganda will never end, they are always the victim

EPA moves to weaken pollution limits on chemical used to sterilize medical equipment The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed weakening air pollution limits for a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment.

"EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the proposed rule shows the agency’s commitment to protecting people’s health while maintaining a stable domestic medical supply chain."

Ok well that's not your job your job is to make sure we can breathe air & drink water without getting cancer, even if it's hard

This 🎯

It echos in my memory, her face and Reem, and so many others I can never forget them

China and Iran are both ancient civilizations compared to the aggressors in this, and the game is chess not checkers

Grade A 💩 yes

sandstorm in Gaza right now 😥 and they have no walls

💔 If you’re worried about this awful U.S. imposed war in the Middle East and you feel helpless to do anything…

…you can support a family in Gaza.❤️‍🩹

💔The war is causing food shortages, spiking costs.
Medicine is already limited.💔

❤️‍🩹 Help this family survive! DONATE!! ❤️‍🩹

Americans are notoriously bad at geography, so the visuals should help. On 9-11 I was the only west Asian in Spanish class and the teacher made me point out and explain the countries on a map to the entire class.

We are learning about all the straits

Done 🙏🏽💗

We are dying in Gaza. We survived the Israeli bombing of a building next to our camp in Gaza. Our tent was destroyed by the bombing, and my family is now homeless. We desperately need your help to buy a tent that costs €100.

For further reading www.instagram.com/p/DV1hvCwEpx0/ what we are not gonna do is pink or rainbow wash a genocide or a war. If we havent won lasting meaningful freedom for the women & lgbtqia+ why are we playing savior for the folks overseas? FYI Women & queer folks are dying under those bombs too

Exactly, both interviewed men were coached

Literally all of us, so many clip compilations of every leader on both sides here since the 90’s talking about it

An image of Gaza exterior covered in thick, blowing dust with a hazy burnt orange sky which blankets everything. The dust even gets into inside spaces, choking everyone. Amal sent me this and it looks terrifying.

An image of Gaza exterior covered in thick, blowing dust with a hazy burnt orange sky. A large tree is blowing and bowing sharply, showing the intensity of the wind storm blowing deadly dust at everyone. Amal sent me this and it looks terrifying.

An image of Gaza exterior covered in thick, blowing dust with a hazy burnt orange sky. Visibility is very low. Amal sent me this and it looks terrifying.

Gaza is suffering a severe dust storm. The atmosphere is choking, & w/ the rubble from Israel’s massive destruction, there is even more dust & fewer safe places.

Amal & her family are choking. The dust is bad for Naser’s weak lungs.
