You can have just a post marking the tragic October 7th massacre.
You could save your selective ahistorical biased opinions on the whole history of Israel and Palestine (seemingly justifying October 7th) until say tomorrow.
Your empathy could exceed your biases.

At 28 years old, a young man decided to walk 25 miles in a single day. Not for exercise. He was walking the length of his district, stopping along the way to talk to people and hear what was happening in their lives.
By the time he was halfway through, something was very wrong. He was exhausted, nauseated and vomiting. But he kept walking.
He finished the 25 miles and went home. Then he slept for 36 hours. His parents, alarmed by this, took him to the emergency room where they found out his blood sugar was 900.
The young man had undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes and was in diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition that can lead to coma and death without treatment. He was then rushed to the ICU.
But thankfully, that young man survived, and story doesn’t end there.
Once he was able to leave the hospital, he needed regular insulin to stay alive. His first 30-day supply cost $684. Young men his age don’t carry that kind of money. So he put it on a credit card.
And that experience changed the direction of James Talarico’s young life.
Since then, James has been fighting for people who need insulin and other lifesaving medications in order to live, and pushing for legislation to make those drugs more affordable.
Working for the people, not Big Pharma. James Talarico is who Texas needs.

Overall, 25 people were killed in this massive Russian strike on Ukraine. One hundred people were injured. It was a combined attack, involving many ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as “shaheds.” This is the kind of “gift” Putin gave himself for his birthday.
Ukrainian warriors shot down 44 missiles – both cruise and ballistic. Not all of those launched by Russia, and ballistic missiles are especially difficult to deal with. We suppressed 117 “shaheds” – most of those launched, but unfortunately, not all of them either.
Additional packages of air defense missiles are needed, as are additional measures to support Ukraine. And there will be appropriate packages. The threat is there every day, and every day, our air defense batteries need to have missiles ready. We strongly count on prompt deliveries from our partners.

NEW: Judiciary Democrats demand DOJ investigate former Bard President Leon Botstein after uncovering evidence that he likely enabled and possibly participated in Epstein’s abuse—including an email asking whether a young woman Epstein was trafficking was “for me.”
More than a dozen whistleblowers also describe a decades-long pattern of sexual misconduct at Bard.

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House"
Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it
Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

He’s not upset about the raping, he’s only upset about the fact it was exposed.

Trump now says that Secret Service and the Military asked him to convert his West Palm Beach golf course into a new version of Camp David.
Of all the things that didn't happen today, this didn't happen the most.

Hey, here's a random thought: maybe all of us who are Democrats and progressives should pause attacks on each other for the next three weeks and focus on beating Republicans. I promise our arguments will be so much more interesting in January after a blue tsunami.

The world is not terrified enough of this demented sadist.
Every last symptom of frontotemporal dementia is present in just this clip. This is severe, self-evident psychosis—the result of a brutal combination of psychopathologies and neurodegenerative disorders.
His brain’s salience network is GONE.
He has no ability to tell what matters—even to himself.
He cannot make a judgement based on facts that contradict his inner reality.
He can no longer work out even the first-order consequences of his actions.
He has no ability to even pretend to have empathy—or to care about life and death.
His disinhibition—inability to control his own thoughts and actions—is getting worse at a startling rate.
He is incredibly gullible and easy to influence because he’s lost all ability to reason.
He has surrounded himself with Natalie Harps. They only feed him what he wants to hear. He acts on curated information, which makes things worse 100% of the time.
He has no limit, no bottom. A malignant narcissist ALWAYS wants to take the world with him—because he can’t tolerate us living happily without him.
This is an emergency.
I tuned in to Trump’s press gaggle for one question before tapping out: How does Trump feel about the Nobel Prize being awarded Friday?
Read it. Seriously. His entire reality is formed by incoherently repeating his own thought-stopping phrases.
“The Nobel Prize will be Friday? Well… Last time they gave it to a young lady who's a fabulous person and she said she didn't deserve it that I deserved it and she gave it to me and I said wow what an honor. I settled eight wars another one is coming. I got all the hostages back. I did things that nobody else has ever done. I'm not bragging I'm just telling you the facts no president probably has settled any wars I settled eight wars and big ones big ones saved millions and millions of lives and when Maria gave me that Nobel Prize she said not only should he get it for this year but there's never been anybody in the history of the Nobel Prize that deserves it more I did. I settled eight wars and I've stopped maybe the total obliteration of the world. because I, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon and that's a positive thing very positive thing and other presidents should have done it before me or somebody should have done it so I don't know what their decision is going to be they have a reputation for maybe not giving it to people like me but I whether I get it or not I have done far more and I think it would be a great discredit to them and I'm not saying that out of scorn I'm saying that when you settle eight wars and nobody's ever I'll bet you if you look at the Nobel Prize— look Obama got it and he didn't do anything he still doesn't know what he got it for he got it what he got elected right at the beginning and he had no idea why he got it well in my case I said I didn't know that they're doing it but you're right it is about that time but I was very honored to receive it indirectly by the recipient who said nobody in history deserves it more than president Trump and since then we've done a lot since then I've settled think of it eight wars and got all the hostages back and stopped a lot of wars from happening by using the powers of tariffs and lots of other things as they threat against certain countries so that they did not partake in killing people.”

The grift never ends.
He just wants to be able to charge the government even when he’s out of office
BREAKING WaPo:
Trump wants to transform his West Palm Beach golf club into a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David.
The plan calls for a parcel of the private club to be designated a permanent, official sanctuary for foreign leaders and future U.S. presidents.
Future presidents would also be offered comped memberships to the Trump club. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

I gifted this article about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent which details his bullying, his erratic behavior, and temper.
He has lost an unusually high number of treasury employees in his first 20 months, including many he brought in that were Senate confirmed. He has already churned through three chiefs of staff. His staff is so afraid of his volatile behavior that they try to gage his mood before showing up to meetings, and celebrate when he is out of the office.
This is a long read, but you also have the option to listen to it.

DOOCY: You’re telling voters that the Democrats will impeach you if they win. For what?
TRUMP: They don’t know. I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Hussein Obama. I thought it would be Inappropriate to because you have to treat the office of the presidency with respect. To this moment I can do whatever I want if I want. They've done some very bad things. It was just mentioned in the form of a question what they did, very illegal what they did.
