BREAKINGNEWS; Secretary Pete Hegseth claims that only one or two countries contributed to Afghanistan war. This is a lie. 32 countries had two or more deaths. 16 countries had over 10 deaths. 3 countries had over 90 deaths. Canada 159, UK 457. 🚨

We have to ‘promote’ and ‘circulate’ this type of NEWS! These are ‘talented skilled’ Brothas exhibiting Leadership. If it was going the other way, these same Brothas would be gettin dragged publicly on all major outlets.

CONFIRMED: "Tommy"—the heckler who tried to gotcha El-Sayed at his Michigan town hall—is not some random guy. He is Thomas Teepell, Operations Director for Republican Senator Josh Hawley until February of this year. This explains why his "gotcha" targeted the Muslim candidate. The Handbasket first identified him via his X and Facebook profiles (Detroit) and LegiStorm, which confirms he ran Hawley’s Senate operations until February. Crooks and Liars, Newsy Today, and Lawyers Guns & Money have since confirmed it. Tommy’s father is Timmy Teepell, a Republican strategist who worked for Bobby Jindal (2004–2011), ran his 2015 presidential campaign, and helped Josh Hawley win as Missouri Attorney General in 2016 and U.S. Senator in 2018. Christian nationalist ties run deep. Timmy is described as the “most powerful ally” of Sean Feucht, who preaches Christian supremacy. Video shows Feucht praying over father and son. Tommy interviewed on-stage with Feucht at his D.C. headquarters in April 2024. On October 2, the University of Michigan student paper revealed that America Next—a PAC founded by Bobby Jindal—offered College Republicans $200 to attend El-Sayed’s Flint town hall, boo him, and ask inflammatory questions for viral moments. Nothing happened in Flint; then Tommy appeared in Caro. El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood on the spot, spent four minutes dismantling the question, and Tommy walked out. The “gotcha” was on him.

Amazing true story: On a pouring Sunday morning in Georgia in 2014, TunDe Hector hit rock bottom on the shoulder of a slick highway. Enduring a painful divorce and severe financial hardship, she watched helplessly as her fuel gauge dropped to empty and her car sputtered to a halt. She had a single $5 bill in her pocket, an empty gas can in her hand, and miles of cold rain between her and the nearest filling station. Minutes later, Chris Wright drove past on his way to church with his family. Spotting the solitary woman trudging through the downpour with a gas can, he felt an unmistakable tug on his conscience. After dropping his wife and children off at the church doors, he looked at his wife, Carmen, and said, "I have to go back. I have to help her." Chris turned his vehicle around, pulled onto the shoulder, and offered TunDe a dry seat. He drove her to the nearest gas station and paid to fill her container. As they pulled back up to her stranded car, Chris felt another quiet prompting inside his chest telling him to empty his wallet. He reached into his pocket, pulled out $40, every dollar he had on him, and pressed the folded bills into her hand. TunDe wept right there in the passenger seat, thanking a man whose name she did not even know before they parted ways. Three years later, in the summer of 2017, tragedy struck the Wright family. Chris’s mother, Judy Wright, entered the final, devastating stages of Parkinson’s disease. Doctors informed the family that she had only weeks left to live and required immediate, round-the-clock hospice care at home. The family arranged for a private nursing aide, only for the scheduled caregiver to cancel at the very last minute. In her place, the agency sent a replacement certified nursing assistant: TunDe Hector. Neither TunDe nor the Wright family recognized one another when she walked through the front door. Over the following days, the family watched in awe as TunDe cared for their dying matriarch with extraordinary gentleness, dignity, and warmth. She spoke softly to Judy, prayed over her bed, and treated her with the devotion of a daughter. During quiet hours beside Judy’s bed, the family learned that TunDe dreamed of finishing nursing school, though she was currently locked out of registering for classes because she owed tuition money she could not afford. One afternoon during a shift change, the conversation turned to how faith carries people through impossible seasons. TunDe began telling the family about the lowest day of her life three years prior, describing how she had run out of gas in the pouring rain with only five dollars to her name, and how a kind stranger had circled back from church, bought her fuel, and handed her every dollar in his wallet. Across the room, Chris Wright froze. His jaw dropped, and tears immediately welled in his eyes. "TunDe," Chris whispered, his voice breaking. "That was me." They both removed their hats, looked closely at one another, and broke down crying in the middle of the living room. The woman Chris had rescued on the side of a lonely highway had been sent back into his life three years later to comfort his mother in her final days on earth. Two weeks later, on July 9, Judy passed away peacefully. It happened to be TunDe’s birthday. Even though she was off duty and celebrating with her own loved ones, the second TunDe received the phone call, she left her birthday party and rushed straight to the Wright home to comfort Judy’s widowed husband and prepare her friend one last time with dignity. Overwhelmed by her selflessness, the Wright family decided that simple thank-you notes were nowhere near enough. When they wrote Judy’s obituary, they included a special request: in lieu of funeral flowers, please donate toward TunDe Hector’s nursing school tuition. They set up an online fundraiser hoping to gather $1,000 to clear her past-due class balance. Within 45 minutes of going live, the fund surpassed its goal. Within days, the story of their full-circle encounter spread across the country, and strangers donated over $34,000, enough to pay for TunDe’s entire nursing degree. A single forty-dollar bill given in the rain had returned years later as priceless grace when a family needed it most.

OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.

The scale of New York City's response to the nationwide No Kings mobilization against the Trump administration is nothing short of staggering. Powerful! ✊
