Listen to the illegal actions Israeli took in other countries. They are a rogue nation who feel the rules do not apply to them. They can do anything they want. Plus the lies and misinformation they put out is horrific. Hugs
We need to get this information out. This morning I heard from Alison Gill on the Daily Beans news podcast that ICE agents lied about a woman they shot ramming them. Turns out body camera videos shows ICE ramming the woman, cutting her off and screaming at her “do something about it bitch” then shooting her. I watched on The Majority report as ICE pepper sprayed a school, local police officers, and arrested an alderman official who was demanding to see the warrant in a hospital. Legally ICE is required to have a warrant on private property like a hospital, but they manhandled the woman and arrested her. They were in civilian plain clothes and had no identification. This is the Proud Boy thug gang being let loose on the public with no controls. We are not a free people. Get the word out to anyone and everyone because most mainstream media is not showing this.

“Dozens of federal agents raiding an entire apartment building with kids in it just to see what they can find. It’s the most egregious abuse of our basic rights as Americans I’ve seen in a long time, maybe in my lifetime,” says Chris Hayes
TOPEKA (KSNT) – If you’ve been outside lately you may have noticed some annoying little bugs are out and about.
The arrival of late summer and early fall brings with it an irritating insect known as the minute pirate bug. These pesky bugs, while not dangerous, have a bad habit of biting people.
Minute pirate bugs feed on everything from smaller insects to pollen grains, according to Kansas State University’s Research and Extension Office. While small in size, about as big as the head of a pin, the bugs are usually found flying around in fields. The bugs may start to move out of these areas in late summer and make themselves known by biting people.
“Though small, these insects have a surprisingly painful bite. They use their short, blunt beak to try to probe into the skin. They do not feed on blood, inject a venom or saliva, or transmit any disease.”Kansas State University Research and Extension Office publication excerpt

People bitten by the bugs may find themselves covered in reddened skin, experience swelling or become itchy. K-State reports that repellents aren’t usually effective against the bugs but instead recommends wearing long darker-colored clothes to appear less attractive to them.
While minute pirate bugs might be annoying, they are very beneficial to the local environment. Minute pirate bugs feed on other insects, such as aphids and caterpillars, which helps manage garden areas. (snip-a bit MORE)
This is what the culture hate warriors want here in the US. They saw what Putin did in Russia and what Victor Orbán did in Hungary. They used the idea of protecting children to limit representation of LGBTQ+ people in society, then they moved it up the war against that community to erase it based on it was an attack on families. The question you need to ask why is family threatened by including same-sex couples as a family? What makes that family unit an attack on families? In their mind it is twofold, one in their mind it doesn’t produce its own offspring and also it offends tradition / religious tradition. We must never change what was done in the past forever in the minds of those who preach the way to live from a book written centuries ago as they read it on their new smartphone. We must find a way to stop this big money steam rolling over personal civil rights to install fundamental religious dictates on how everyone lives in the US. There are those who believe just admitting and allowing LGBTQ+ people to exist is promoting it. Is admitting and showing red hair people exist promoting red hair? Hugs
The council claimed the content “promotes homosexuality,” “disregards family values,” and “conflicts with the shared values of society.”
A scene from “Cobalt Blue”
Turkey’s media regulator has imposed fines on five international streaming platforms and ordered the removal of several films and series, citing violations of “national and moral values.”
The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) announced the penalties following inspections conducted under the government’s “Year of the Family” initiative. According to the regulator, the inspections aimed to “protect children from harmful content” and “combat productions that threaten the Turkish family structure and shared societal values.”
RTÜK fined the platforms the maximum penalty allowed, amounting to 3% of their annual revenues in Turkey. The decision affects Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix, HBO Max, and MUBI.
Among the targeted content are All of Us Strangers on Disney+, Those About To Die on Prime Video, Cobalt Blue on Netflix, Looking: The Movie on HBO Max, and Benedetta on MUBI.
The council claimed the content “promotes homosexuality,” “disregards family values,” and “conflicts with the shared values of society.” It did not elaborate on the specific scenes or themes that led to the sanctions.
Under Article 32 of Law No. 6112, RTÜK is authorized to impose several administrative measures on broadcasting entities. These include warnings, suspension of programming, and fines. The council can also enforce temporary broadcast bans and revoke broadcasting licenses. (HA/VK)
