@DanielFerlizza@GBC_Press USA with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street. Where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. Where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. Where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. Etc etc
A former tabloid journalist lays out the receipts: @BBCNews are more or less openly campaigning for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea - under the influence of the billionaire-owned media. 🧵🛢️🍿

🚨 BREAKING:
World-famous US actor Morgan Freeman:
"Someone is sitting in the White House leading us to disaster. I personally cannot understand how someone convicted of 34 felonies like Donald Trump can be president. This makes no sense to me."
A barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience. This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. join me in asking the government to protect our juries: https://t.co/Juvr7qUI4N via @38degrees
Ekta Parishad started with villagers pooling 16 cents each into a fund they controlled. Now it's one of the largest nonviolent movements on earth: thousands of villages with their own grain banks, deciding everything in local assemblies, campaigning together for true democracy.
A $1.2M Czech wetland project spent 7 years stalled in bureaucratic limbo.
Then 8 beavers built the entire thing themselves - dams, ponds, canals - in the exact spot engineers had planned, using only wood, mud and stone. For free.
So officials cancelled the human version.
"Lo que ocurre dentro de las prisiones de Israel, es que son un cementerio. Desde que entras no paran de agredirte, me agredieron desde que me arrestaron delante de mis hijos. Tras las palizas no pude recordar la imagen de mi hijo y perdí la capacidad de respirar".
Mujahed Bani, un periodista palestino de 37 años, que fue brutalmente torturado por "Israel" hasta perder la memoria y no poder respirar, por las torturas sufrió un derrame cerebral y perdió parte de su craneo.
Ni siquiera tenían pruebas contra él, solo era un periodista que denunciaba los crímenes de "Israel"... cosa que no hacen los mercenarios de la prensa occidental que ocultan estas barbaridades y tenemos que ser nosotros quienes las denunciemos.
In 1971, Copenhageners cut a hole in a fence and turned an abandoned military barracks into a self-governing town. You don't buy a home there, you apply, and if the community agrees, it's yours.
55 years on, Freetown Christiania is still going strong - but no photos are allowed.
“We are liquidating the Earth’s natural capital. We are tearing down the biological library before we have even read the books. No amount of economic growth can compensate for the loss of a self-sustaining biosphere.”

The Palestinian author and visionary Ghassan Kanafani was murdered by Israeli agents on this day in 1972, together with his niece, who was a child.
Kanafani's family was forced out of their home during the Nakba in 1948. His writings—Men in the Sun, and Return to Haifa—spoke to the ongoing trauma of Israeli occupation and ethnic cleansing.
Kanafani called for the right of return for all Palestinian refugees. This demand is more relevant now than ever.
Private firms providing services to the NHS made £1.6 billion profit in two years.
That’s £1.6 billion being extracted from the NHS for shareholders rather than patients.
We think the NHS should be about people, not profit.
But what do you think?

1943. Nazi Germany ordered the deportation of Denmark's Jews. Danes said no.
Doctors admitted Jewish patients under fake names. Fishermen ran them across the sound to Sweden in the dark.
Over 7,000 got out. Almost the whole community, saved by a country refusing to look away.
