Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

If someone paid you $300K, demanded “results,” you helped with their IRS dispute, asked for another $100K that “won’t show up anywhere”; later, as ambassador, pushed private business deals while in official capacity, what should investigators look at first? Bribery? Fraud? Corruption? Conspiracy? 🤔

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

As a survivor of rape, let me just say that it's a lot more difficult than you think to report it, to be taken seriously, to not be sl*t-shamed by law enforcement to silence you, and to have it investigated. ~17% of ~128,000 rape cases reported every year in America make it to an indictment (2025).

Russia murdered 25 innocent people overnight in Ukraine, 5 were children; the missiles and drones targeted them while they slept to maximize the casualty count. Trump will call Putin immediately, to wish him a happy birthday.
This image appears to show a Ukrainian State Emergency Service worker carrying a rescued animal wrapped in a patterned blanket at the site of a deadly missile strike in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast.According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the image shows emergency responders fighting a fire at a garage cooperative in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv following a Russian aerial attack on October 6, 2026.

People watching the student protests in France and fixating on the rioting instead of asking why the protests are happening are like gnats mesmerised by a light bulb. The students’ core demands are incredibly basic. That’s what should be amplified, addressed and resolved.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.

The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other. 

The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order. 

Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.
