A TikTok video that shows the beauty and then destruction of the middle east, mainly Gaza, while a beautiful Arab woman sings the song Team by Lorde in the background.

The individual answering the phone for James Lankford's office has said that they're happy children are being killed in a genocide by the terrorist governments of Israel and the United States.

The entire phone call is attached in the video below, taken from @ findingmyong on TikTok.

Can't misspeak on that one and don't try to tell me otherwise. From Joe Biden, to Donald Trump, to James Lankford, they're all genocidal terrorists and are in support of what is happening to the children in Gaza.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Make Israel Palestine Again ✊

Istg if I see one more fucking liberal say "both are bad" like the Neocons of today say "all lives matter" I'm going to have a fucking stroke.

I'm done ranting for the day and I'm getting off social media because I have to for my mental health. Try and stay sane y'all cause this shit boils my damn blood.

The Israeli government and its Zionist supporters, with the help, funding and full support of the United States government, has cut all internet access off to Gaza so they can increase their genocidal terrorist attacks and war crimes against the innocent children and families which will now make it near impossible to plead for help to the outside world.

Biden yesterday gave Israel the go ahead to continue bombing by denying the truth about Gaza's toll numbers. The US and Israeli governments are terrorists.

I didn't stutter.

Fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the US war-mongering government and its presence in the Middle East and anywhere else they think they can hold a claim to.

Iran told Israel to stop bombing innocent people, Israel didn't listen, then the US sent "protection", provoking Iran to respond which in turn gave Israel the greenlight from the US to continue the genocide.

When the US government says they're defending themselves, they're a bunch of fucking liars.

As I browse the web and look at YouTube and TikTok comments, I realize Americans are truly in for such a big surprise when all hell finally breaks loose.

People unironically and legitimately believe the US is capable of fighting 2-3 wars all at once, and I can't help but to facepalm and scroll on by, as if that would ever be a good thing for anyone in any war.

Our own service members, active and former, have have been outspoken about the fact that China is outpacing the US in every single way.

Dense Americans need to understand that we aren't invincible like they've been led to believe.

We aren't the global superpower anymore (Thank goodness), and soon everyone will be sucked dry.

I'm not trying to be doomer here, but I don't think anyone is truly prepared for what's to come.

To all the collective comrades in #Texas that need a way to escape the heat when fascist corporate states like yours raise the price of electric to kill you and your elderly relatives, I have a partial solution that gives you more control.

Unfortunate gotchas:

• You will need access to a window that opens and closes for a window A/C unit in ONE bedroom.

• Cannot live in an apartment

• You will need some land available that has access to the sun during most hours of the day for solar panels.

• This is mainly only for peak hours when the day is at it's hottest. This isn't a 24 hour solution but it should be good enough to stay cool while the sun is out and the day is super hot.

• It would be in your best interest to hide this, if you can (Your life is more important though, remember that!). There's recently been insurance companies dropping policies of individuals who have solar panels outside of their homes (Most notably lately in Florida).

I know this is expensive and some of y'all might need to come together with roommates or relatives to pay for this, but it WILL keep you cool for several hours and it WILL allow you to have more control than relying on the Texas grid. It is worth the long term investment as these specific batteries are made to last at least 10 years and around 15,000 charge cycles (Yes, you can safely bring these batteries down to 2% and this happens to be the safest batteries for the environment at the moment)

Step One: Buy a solar controller. I recommend and use this one: https://www.amazon.com/BougeRV-Controller-Temperature-Regulator-Negative/dp/B09JZGBDPB

Step Two: Buy 2, 100Ah, 12.8V LifePO4 batteries. Connect them in parallel. I suggest something like these (Just know they cannot withstand cold environments and don't have built in heaters like more expensive ones): https://www.amazon.com/LiFePO4-Rechargeable-Parallel-Road-Trip-Trolling/dp/B09BQSJPTB?psc=1

Step Three: Buy 2 IDENTICAL Solar Panels (I recommend these) - https://www.amazon.com/JJN-Bifacial-Monocrystalline-Efficiency-Charging/dp/B09VS7PR2J?psc=1

Step Four: Buy a 2000W 12V PURE Sine Wave inverter (Do NOT buy modified sine wave!). I use this but IT IS more expensive than off-name brands. - https://www.amazon.com/BougeRV-Inverter-Displayer-Controller-off-grid/dp/B0BNDRH44T?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3

Step Five: You will need 10 gauge wires to run to your solar panels from your solar charge controller in step one.

5b: You will need 2 gauge wires to connect the batteries in parallel.

5c: You'll also need a Y branch connector to connect the solar panels in parallel.

5d: Look into buying 50amp breakers

Step Six: Buy a Window A/C unit that is either 5,000BTUs or 6,000BTUs. You're specifically looking for something around 400-500 watts. More is okay, but I wouldn't recommend anything above 600 watts as your batteries will have drained fairly quickly without time to recharge. I use this one which can be found at nearly any Walmart and it pulls about 550 Watts. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Midea-6-000-BTU-115V-Window-Air-Conditioner-with-Comfort-Sense-Remote-White-MAW06R1WWT/622790841?from=/search

Step Seven: Watch YOUTUBE VIDEOS! Ask questions! There is so many YouTube videos out there that show you how to do this in detail. HoboTech is good at explaining these things in detail, however not the best for setup videos.

I recommend avoiding units like Jackery ($3,299) as well as Bluetti ($1,600 JUST for the UNIT not including panels or the A/C!)

Overall cost average for ALL 1-6 steps above: $1,600-$1,700

Average Hours of A/C runtime with full sunlight - 6 hours, more if you are able to use Eco Modes.

Just remember once the batteries drain they need charged again! If you use more power than you're getting from the sun the batteries will not charge.

Just a reminder: You never know the pain someone is going through.

I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.

The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.

If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.

The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.
