republicans have never been able to explain to me, how does it make any sense for the party of less govt interference and more personal liberties to also dictate how consenting individuals live their lives? why does it bother you if a man marries a man? it doesn’t affect you.

on the children who were in exile during the Uruguayan dictatorship - we must hope we never become what South America experienced, though it seems we are heading in that direction, with only Tuesday seeming to be a ray of hope against it
Les quiero contar una de las historias más hermosas del mundo, que sucedió en URUGUAY 🇺🇾 Es la historia del llamado VUELO DE LOS NIÑOS DEL EXILIO. Y al final, les contaré por qué me toca de una manera particular... Corría diciembre de 1983. Iban ya 10 años de dictadura militar, desde 1973. Miles de personas se habían exiliado del país, para proteger sus vidas. Y cientos de niños habían nacido, de padres uruguayos, en el exterior; nunca habían conocido su patria, su mar, sus árboles, sus abuelos... Entonces, en aquel mes, y con los militares ya muy debilitados, se organizó uno de los vuelos más emocionantes y felices de la historia. Organizado por el Frente Amplio y la Comisión para el Reencuentro, un avión de la compañía Iberia llevó a Montevideo a 154 niños y adolescentes, hijos de exiliados, presos políticos o desaparecidos, que vivían en Europa y que así regresaron -o conocieron- a Uruguay. Lo más hermoso es que, al aterrizar, los niños fueron recibidos por miles de personas, eufóricos, que coreaban cánticos a favor de la democracia. Desde el aeropuerto, una caravana de autobuses los trasladó lentamente, debido a la gran cantidad de gente en las calles, hasta la sede de la Asociación de Empleados Bancarios del Uruguay (AEBU), en la Ciudad Vieja. Fue un momento inolvidable; reencuentros repletos de alegría, de tristeza, de emoción; repletos de Uruguay... ¿Y qué tengo que ver yo con esto? Es algo muy chiquito, pero este 25 de noviembre presentaré mi show en la SALA CAMACUÁ, que se ubica justamente en la AEBU, ¡Allí donde llegaron los niños del exilio! Cuando me contaron, me emocioné mucho: estaré allí donde sucedió uno de los hechos más luminosos de la historia de nuestro continente, con mi show, intentando provocar también sonrisas, anécdotas y encuentros. Es un honor y una responsabilidad muy grande, ahora que conozco lo que pasó... ¡PERO QUÉ ORGULLO! Nos vemos muy pronto, Uruguay: ¡Vamoarriba!

I've never seen a President sleeping on the job before Donald Trump, & it's become a daily habit. He'd be fired from Walmart on day one for this kind of laziness & insubordination. Good job America 👏

On MSNBC, Mamdani says his final message to Jewish voters is: “There's no room for antisemitism in the city, and it's a scourge that I would root out of the five boroughs as someone who will be leading the entirety of the city.” I think you missed it (!) So, stop your propaganda.

Funny how after a terrible night, the GOP's first order of business is making it harder to vote instead of making grocery prices lower like they promised.
Trump to Senate Republicans: "We should pass no mail-in voting."

New secret donors to the East Wing ballroom construction project have been revealed. The Admin’s claims of transparency are a joke. I’m demanding these donors explain why they wanted to hide their donation & what Trump may have agreed to in exchange for these funds.

Need everyone who threatened to leave New York if Mamdani won to start packing their bags and booking their flights immediately! Break those leases and put those apartments back on the market tonight!

Props. I never thought I’d see you say this. I think that our future mayor is going to do good things for the city. The people have spoken and we all want the same things. Food on the table, a bed and a good education and opportunities that that’s not too much to ask.

Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral election, defeating Andrew Cuomo. His pledge to freeze rents was a core part of his successful campaign. curbed.com/article/zohran-ma…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

🚨The victim of Israel's gang rape on camera has been identified (I'll withhold his name until he speaks on the record) IDF soldiers raped him so violently until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum He underwent 20 surgical operations, inc. colostomy & urostomy, & is still suffering medical complications until now Israel released him 3 weeks ago without him ever being charged or tried. They likely released him so he wouldn't be able to testify at court against his rapists who are still at large. The victim is now fearful for his life; he could be killed in any Israeli strike to cover up this atrocity The IDF top lawyer who opened a sham investigation into this incident a year ago has just been fired, disgraced, detained & is herself now being investigated. Her only reason for launching a probe into this rape incident (out of hundreds of others that are never investigated) is because this one was caught on camera & the victim was hospitalized with a detailed medical record, so she started her "investigation" to prevent the ICC from intervening

All the fucking idiots in these replies telling him to take ivermectin for late stage prostate cancer like it’s some miracle drug are making me lose the rest of my faith in humanity. Absolute morons.
On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it. I need it. As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer. My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that. I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer. It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.

Fox is now reporting on these AI videos as if they are real and is using them to smear Black Americans with racist, anti-SNAP propaganda. We are in a very dangerous and disturbing place.

YOUR PARTY ripped health insurance away from millions of AMERICAN CITIZENS. YOUR PARTY refuses to negotiate, or even talk. And Trump is LYING about SNAP. He could release funds today if he wanted to.
