Who'd have thought that UB40's #BurdenOfShame (1980) and #OneInTen (1981) would still be so relevant after 40 years! 🤯 Welcome to the #21stCentury!

Bu kaza değil, adrese teslim bir sabotaj. İsrailin ispanyayı tehdit ettikten sonra bu kazanın yaşanması İsrail'in tüm insanlığın düşmanı olduğunu gösteriyor.

Nothing is shocking any more… Israel buried alive everyone who was on this truck. Hadeel al-Dahdouh, indicated by the arrow, survived to tell her harrowing story.

Tragic. A Ukrainian soldier found by Russian forces after being abandoned by his unit recounts his experience. He says: "I was taken and forced to go to war." The Ukrainian military has run out of troops and is now sending civilians to the front lines.

Former MI6 chief Alex Younger now admits the West provoked Russia… and lost By fixating on military confrontation through NATO, the West neglected economic and technological domains. Russia took full advantage and became the leading military technological power.

Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job. @GovMikeHuckabee @SecRubio @davidamilstein @WhiteHouse

Andy Burnham "We want to get to Welfare Bill down as quickly as possible and we are working flat out to that end." Not a Left Wing Government in any sense.

Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption. So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷

This is an extreme emergency. I hate this feeling when everyone ignores us and no help reaches us, as if we are just numbers. Support my family, I don't know what to say, but the agony of getting food and water became very tiring. chuffed.org/project/128444

888 Ich muss das jetzt einfach mal loswerden. Weil ich es nicht mehr ertragen kann, wie wir alle für dumm verkauft werden. Warum hat Putin die Ukraine angegriffen ? Ich sag euch, warum ICH persönlich glaube, dass es passiert ist: Wegen der aggressiven Osterweiterung der NATO. Seit Jahren. Seit JAHRZEHNTEN rückt die NATO immer weiter an Russland heran. Immer ein Stück mehr. Immer ein gebrochenes Versprechen mehr. Und wir sollen alle so tun, als wäre das völlig normal ? Als hätte das keine Konsequenzen ? Denkt doch mal an die Kuba-Krise 1962 Was erzählt man uns ? Der böse Russe wollte Raketen auf Kuba stationieren, 90 Meilen vor Florida Was man uns VERSCHWEIGT: Die Amerikaner haben ZUERST angefangen 1961 haben die USA atomare Jupiter-Mittelstreckenraketen in der TÜRKEI stationiert Direkt an der Grenze zur Sowjetunion Moskau in 10 Minuten erreichbar Erst DANN hat die Sowjetunion gesagt: Wenn ihr eure Raketen vor unsere Tür stellt, stellen wir unsere vor eure - auf Kuba Die Raketen auf Kuba waren eine ANTWORT Und wie wurde die Krise gelöst ? Mit einem Deal: Beide ziehen ihre Raketen zurück Die USA aus der Türkei, die Sowjets aus Kuba Die USA haben seit 1999 die NATO 7 Mal nach Osten erweitert. Aegis-Raketen in Polen und Rumänien, die man in 2 Minuten von Abwehr auf Angriff umrüsten kann. Und dann sollte auch noch die Ukraine dazu kommen. NATO-Truppen, NATO-Raketen direkt an der 2000 km langen Grenze zu Russland. Was glaubt ihr denn, wie Russland reagieren soll ? So wie die USA 1962 reagiert haben Das war für die Amerikaner damals eine existenzielle rote Linie - völlig zu Recht Und für Russland ist die Ukraine heute genau diese rote Linie Und dann sagen alle: "Aber die Staaten wollten doch freiwillig zur NATO" Wirklich ? Schaut euch Victoria Nuland an 30 Jahre US-Spitzendiplomatin, zuständig für Europa. Sie selbst hat 2013 gesagt, die USA haben über 5 Milliarden Dollar in die "Demokratieförderung" der Ukraine gesteckt. 2014 wurde ihr Telefonat geleakt, wo sie "Fuck the EU" sagt und bespricht, wer nach dem Maidan-Putsch in die neue ukrainische Regierung kommt. "Jazenjuk ist der Mann" - und er wurde es Das war kein freiwilliges Begehren, das war ein von Washington gekaufter Putsch Klar, könnt ihr mich jetzt wieder als Kremlhure beleidigen. Macht nur. Ich war mein halbes Leben Offizier. Ich weiß, wovon ich rede, wenn es um Raketenreichweiten und rote Linien geht. Und redet endlich über das MASSAKER IM DONBASS Seit 2014 Seit 2014 werden im Donbass Russen massakriert. Von der eigenen ukrainischen Armee und vom Asow-Bataillon Über 14.000 Tote, die meisten davon Zivilisten, Frauen, Kinder, alte Menschen, die dort seit Generationen leben. Luhansk, Donezk - 8 Jahre lang Artilleriebeschuss auf Wohngebiete, auf Schulen, auf Kindergärten. Täglicher Terror. Wo war da euer Aufschrei ? Wo war da eure Solidarität ? Kein orf-Brennpunkt, keine Lichterkette, nichts Die Menschen dort haben 2014 in einem Referendum gesagt, wir wollen nicht mehr zu Kiew gehören, und die Antwort war: Panzer und Bomben Und dann wundert ihr euch, warum Putin sagt, er muss die russische Bevölkerung dort schützen ? Was hättet ihr denn gemacht, wenn eure eigenen Leute 8 Jahre lang massakriert werden und keiner hinschaut ? Und dann die wichtigste Frage: WEM NÜTZT DIESER KRIEG EIGENTLICH ? Schaut auf die FAKTEN: Rheinmetall: Vor dem Krieg Aktie bei ca. 90 Euro. Heute über 500 Euro Rekordgewinne in Milliardenhöhe. Und wer verdient daran ? BlackRock Einer der größten Anteilseigner bei Rheinmetall, über 5% direkt, gleichzeitig bei Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman drin. Friedrich Merz war jahrelang Aufsichtsratschef von BlackRock Deutschland. Zufall ? Wir zahlen mit unseren Steuern die Waffen, Ukrainer und Russen zahlen mit ihrem Leben, und BlackRock, Rheinmetall und Leute wie Sigmar Gabriel schreiben Rekorddividenden.

Ukraine did this after Cuba spent hundreds of millions of dollars treating thousands of sick Ukrainian children from Chernobyl. Cuba spent 20 years providing specialised care they couldn't afford in Ukraine. Ukraine paid nothing, voting to starve Cuba was their payment I guess.
Ukraine voting to starve Cuba but we're supposed to believe they are hereos and defenders of Europe?

The Cost of Britain 🇬🇧 Here is the single MADDEST number in today’s Budget - and the Chancellor didn’t mention it once in his speech 👀 From April, the National Living Wage rises to £13.21 an hour. For a full-time 40-hour week, that is £27,477 a year. That’s GREAT right?? 🤔 At the same time, today’s Budget leaves the 40% Higher Rate tax threshold FROZEN at £50,270 right through until April 2031. Do the maths on that: In Britain today, earning just 1.8x the minimum wage now classes you as a Higher Rate taxpayer. When the 40% tax band was created, it was meant for the top 3.5% of earners - bank directors and senior executives. Today, a skilled tradesperson, experienced nurse, police sergeant or salaried worker earning 1.8x the legal minimum wage hands over: ❌ 42p of every extra pound to HMRC (40% Income Tax + 2% NI) ❌ 51p of every extra pound if they have a student loan That single threshold freeze is quietly pulling an extra £34 billion a year out of working people’s pay packets - without the government ever having to announce a headline tax rise. Pushing minimum wage up from the bottom Whilst freezing the 40% tax trap at the top How can earning 1.8x minimum wage possibly be classed as a “higher earner” in 2026?

I spoke with someone who works at my university about the difficulties I’m facing in my studies, the emotional exhaustion, and the overwhelming pressure I’m trying to cope with. He tried to encourage me by saying, “You’re from Gaza! You people are extraordinary. You can do the impossible and overcome even the hardest circumstances.” I know he meant well, but his words made me think deeply... Why does the world expect us, the people of Gaza, to be stronger than everyone else? Why are we expected to endure more than any human being should, simply because we have become accustomed to surviving the impossible? We are not superheroes. We are human beings, just like you. We get tired. We get scared. We feel weak. We cry. And sometimes, we simply lose the strength to keep going. Surviving a war does not mean we have healed from it. Reaching a place of safety does not mean our souls have left Gaza, or that the wounds of everything we have experienced have disappeared. We do not need more expectations placed upon us, nor endless admiration for our ability to remain resilient. We need to be allowed to feel exhausted, to rest, and to be ordinary human beings without feeling that we have disappointed anyone. Please, do not turn our resilience into an excuse to demand even more sacrifices from us. Do not turn our ability to survive into a lifelong obligation to endure the unbearable. We never chose to become symbols of resilience. We were forced to be resilient simply to stay alive. So please, do not punish us for surviving by expecting us to be superhuman forever. 💔
