Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.

On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

BREAKING: Footage that has just confirmed that TRUMP LIED and it was a US Tomahawk missile that hit the girls’ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children.

The fact that Trump has blatantly lied about this should have every single American questioning why he lied to us all.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are β€œmarching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse β€” and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I must apologise for Richard Stupid Tice not understanding that no gas or oil is β€˜our own’ because Maggie Thatcher sold it off, so it is all sold by private companies on the global market. Norway did not sell theirs off and now have a sovereign wealth fund of Β£1.6trillion.

I may have my frustrations and disappointments about Starmer as a domestic politician, but internationally, I think he’s serious, responsible and trying to do his best for U.K. in unbelievably complex int’l environment, despite treasonous ghouls like Farage doing their best to undermine him.

I'd like to personally apologise to Nigel Farage for this post.

According to the Guardian he Farage reportedly travelled by private jet to the Maldives where he spent just over a day before heading back to the UK.

So no business class seats were bought.

So sorry.

This is a massive shift which would upend the lives of millions - not just the nearly half million directly threatened but their families. It would abandon a basic principle of law that changes are not retrospectively applied.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 β€” mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo 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.

Young people did not have a say in the Brexit referendum but have to live with the consequences. It's not surprising that a staggering majority of them would want to rejoin the EU.

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which β€œno one is above the law.”

But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

Reform UK suspends by-election campaign activist over β€˜antisemitic and misogynistic’ posts EXCLUSIVE: Adam Mitula, Reform UK’s interim campaign manager in Tameside, has been assisting Matt Goodwin's Gorton and Denton by-election campaign

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.”

When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?
