The 7 minute Irish animation that is nominated for an Oscar. Worth a watch. #SpeirGorm
on May 01, 2003, George W Bush gave a "Mission Accomplished" speech on an aircraft carrier:
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed"
the actual Iraq war ended in 2011
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
A bunch of reckless gamers with no regard for anyone’s life only their dollars. This reads as stabbing someone from the back, like true cowards.
Measles is a highly infectious disease. It can make children seriously unwell, especially young infants and those with weakened immune systems.
The best way to protect your family is by ensuring you and your children are up to date with your MMRV jabs.
If there is evidence of irregularities at some polling stations at the Gorton and Denton byelection, then that evidence should be properly and promptly investigated in accordance with due process by the proper authorities. And that is what is being done. Any denunciations of the election result should thereby await the result of this process. The losing party spokesperson candidly admitted the day after the election that any irregularities were not enough to have affected the result, which was emphatic. But this did not prevent the losing party’s leader from loudly promoting grave allegations of sectarian voting, corruption and dishonesty. Yet if the irregularities are not upheld on investigation as invalidating the result, it is unlikely that those findings will be shouted about. And such a response is irresponsible. Parts of the United Kingdom have a history of sectarian violence. Parts of the United Kingdom have histories of racial tension. Responsible politicians should not exploit such allegations for partisan advantage. Making such allegations is to play with fire, literally. Responsible politicians should be careful to avoid subverting the very fundamentals on which a functioning democracy rests. Such “poisoning of the wells” is familiar to those following the politics of the United States, and it lay behind the lethal violence that took place in Washington DC on 6th January 2021.

Why discrediting election results without waiting for due process is unhealthy for a democracy

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.
He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.
Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

My thoughts today are with the family, loved ones and all those impacted by Sarah Everard’s murder five years ago.
Sarah’s murder by a serving police officer shocked and horrified the entire country and rightly sparked an outcry about the national epidemic of violence against women and girls.
She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point
Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.
We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files
When are the powerful powerful enough? When are the rich rich enough? When is the #USA great enough? Asking for the rest of the world
USA has given a full pass on being great
No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.
Of course, it is unlawful.
Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.
Of course, it is stupid.
Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.
And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

I know, I know, allow people to change etc but saying “before I got thrown in a concentration camp I just assumed all the people being thrown in concentration camps deserved it” is CRAZY
I'm literally in tears listening to President Catherine Connolly's fierce speech about the silence about ongoing genocide, how the rule of law, humans rights, civil liberties, and freedoms are diminishing before our eyes... at the 50th anniversary of the @iccl.bsky.social
when broadcasters repeat Mandelson claim he was “not motivated by financial gain”
please also report the $75,000 of financial gain Mandelson received from Epstein in 2004 and 2004
and the £10s of thousands Mandelson’s husband received from Epstein in 2009/10
plus free flights & mansion stays

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.
Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.
As well as everyone else who stepped up.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.
Now, what are we going to do about it?!
A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.
I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.
I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.
