The pier has been usable for just 12 days since it began operations on 17 May. On most of those days the assistance arriving by sea has had to be left on the beach as there have been no trucks to distribute it to warehouses in Gaza, because of lack of security....
China isn’t forcibly relocating Muslims they find inconvenient, stealing their land, and eradicating their culture while calling it reeducation or anti-extremism?
In the past several weeks, I have watched dozens of sleek U.S. military planes descend over Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I live.

Fun History Fact: “Adventurer” means the same thing pmc contractor does.
Mercenary.
I think DnD lost something when this became less known tbh
Now you have tables arguing about whether they’re doing a colonialism by burning down orc villages but the answer was SUPPOSED to be “Yes, how much gold did we get?”
I do not know who this ratchet game is supposed to even appeal to anymore. If there’s an “undecided” voter left they’re in a coma. If you want corporate cash, you sure as hell don’t want to turn off the wage slave spigot.
I can only assume the Democratic leadership is equally split between being people in complete denial that think everyone’s still a bunch of neoliberals and neocons fighting to be first at the 80’s style cocaine buffet, and the people who are terrified by the reality of the cost of losing this election.
Either way, this “immigration crisis” is fake. A functional America would not be bothered in the slightest by it, but a functioning America by my definition would also acknowledge it has been largely caused by our own actions, and that is not an “immigration” issue but a refugee issue.
What they do have is the world’s most unsecret nuclear stockpile. If Israel wants to have peace, they can acknowledge Palestinian sovereignity and then close their new borders.
They aren’t under threat from the neighboring states, much less some rebels with AKs.
But they don’t want that. They want to do a genocide.
They know what is coming, though you’ll note the writers challenge the specific crediting.
Of course, they also think that “hard times create strong men” bullshit is from 2016 so
Idk
Point is the Saudi royals are fully aware that, if nothing else, the wells will eventually run dry so everyone slowing the green transition is short sighted regardless.
That their royalty are cowards doesn’t stop them from being a sovereign country. Just what, exactly, do you think a lawyer can accomplish? The UN doesn’t announce a global embargo on the lifeblood of modern nations because someone points out they violated a substatute.
I don’t mind supporting countries that actually need it but even if the IDF was completely ethical, and they’re not, they still wouldn’t need a single bullet of aid.
Look, we can joke about fruit fucking, because it’s hilarious, but let’s not pretend we don’t know a barely functional alcoholic when we see their sleeves.
Nah. Tons of merchandising, films, publishing etc.
Those Quidditch brooms and plastic wands don’t assemble themselves in a sweatshop.
Think more like if some self hosted webnovel had the same success somehow, or if she’d been as involved with checking the conditions of the merchandise empire as thoroughly as she was apparently involved in making sure the child actors were treated well. Not particularly likely, but hypothetically.

I don’t think it’s fair to define her actions by her blackness, but, at the same time, the Dems very clearly want this bitch for 2028 (or earlier…) no matter what anyone says.
Between 1967 and 1974 a Greek military junta overthrew the government because they didn’t like the election results.
20% of the population still approves of it. 19% don’t have a strong opinion on a fascist takeover of democracy and the suspension of human rights in Greece.
30% of the population has nostalgia for the period.
