TL flooded w people joking on this woman’s agony and the absolute immorality of the state’s failed execution. You can’t convince me that the existence of death penalty does not make Americans crueler and more ethically vacant.

Entire Original Rumplestilskin video.
Community note
This video is AI-generated. It is not from any real Rumpelstiltskin movie. The 1987 film starring Billy Barty uses different costumes and settings. top5apps.ai/news/rumpelsti… ladbible.com/technology/rum…

I’m back in the West Bank to document the olive harvest, which is already shaping up to be even bloodier than last year’s. On my first night, settlers invaded the village where I was staying and torched the car I’d arrived in hours earlier. Link to dispatch in next tweet.

As both Minister for Secularism and Minister of the French Language Roberge was either directly or indirectly involved in the implementation of some of the most discriminatory pieces of CAQ legislation: notably Bills 21, 9, and 96. Elated to see him go down with the CAQ ship.
