🇪🇺 The EU just passed Chat Control 1.0 in Brussels.
Platforms can now scan your private messages again, officially "voluntary," in practice blanket surveillance.
Here's the democratic scandal: 314 MEPs voted against it. Only 276 voted for it.
It passed anyway... because an absolute majority of all MEPs was required to reject it, not just a majority of those present.
More people voted no than yes. It still passed.
Pushed through on an urgent procedure just before summer recess, when absences are highest and attention is lowest.
This is how rights disappear folks. Not in one dramatic moment, but in procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone's looking at Tehran.

This loving mother never rushes to the food. She stands beside her kittens, watching over them until every tiny stomach is full. Only then does she quietly eat what is left for herself. She is no different from any mother here, always choosing her children before herself.
Today, she still has love to give them. What she no longer has is enough food. Dear brothers and sisters, we are begging you not to leave us alone. We are fighting every single day to keep both our families and these innocent cats alive, but we have reached the point where love alone cannot fill an empty stomach.
We cannot face this alone anymore. Please don't turn away from us. We have reached the point where we simply cannot keep our families and our cats alive without your help. Please help us keep going until better days come.

For those of us who took the AstraZeneca Covid jab this news tells us a lot about the company we trusted. I note the CEO got a knighthood !
Like so many other dodgy individuals
AstraZeneca fined $110 million for corrupt marketing scheme targeting children and vulnerable patients https://t.co/UFRpWcmEwR
@ZimGuyInUK@Warburtons They have to put it in white bread, it’s UK law…lobby the Government if you have a problem. Eat wholemeal, healthier and doesn’t have to be fortified.
"Let the little kitten eat in peace."
I think that's what the ginger cat was saying. They were not fighting. They simply remained that way until the little kitten finished her meal in peace.
It reminds me of myself when I used to pretend I was already full in front of my children until they had finished eating, then go back and eat whatever was left, if there was anything left at all. That was when I learned that love is not just a feeling. It is sacrifice and selfless giving, just like everything you have given us and the way you have stood by our side in our weakest moments, dear kind souls.
Sadly, we are still living through the same harsh circumstances. We are still powerless in the face of our responsibilities, and every day we fear the moment when love alone will no longer be enough. We are truly exhausted and desperately in need of your support and the warmth of your humanity. Please, we need you.

Homeowners ordered to rip out air con units despite rising temperatures -
When are the people going to stand up and stop the Net Zero scam?
It’s making us poorer, hotter in Summer , colder in Winter and less free.
https://t.co/fbFwuY9K5o
So...
We're not allowed to buy air conditioners for our houses to cool them in hot summer weather, because we don't have enough electricity to power them, because the solar panels and wind turbines we installed to stop the planet getting hot in summer, don't work when it's hot and windless in summer, so we'd need to burn gas, oil and coal instead to power the AC to cool our houses, but we blew up the oil, gas and coal power stations to stop the planet getting hot in summer, but it's still hot in summer.
But it's still ok to install heat pumps in winter, heat pumps which are also air conditioners and use the same amount of electricity or more, but we still won't have enough electricity to power them on cold, dark, windless winter evenings, because solar panels and wind turbines don't work then either, and we blew up the gas, oil and coal fired power stations because they were making the planet too hot in winter as well as summer.
Have I missed anything?
🙄🤡🌍
The quiet tonight feels heavier than ever. 🐾
We measured every remaining portion with care, knowing it may not be enough for the days ahead. The rescued cats who once found safety with us still wait patiently beside their bowls, while the children helping care for them quietly wonder how much longer we can keep going. Their trust is unwavering, even as our supplies grow smaller with each sunrise. 🤍
Every gentle purr, every hopeful look, reminds us why we refuse to give up. But kindness from others is what keeps this little shelter moving forward. Sharing our story can help it reach someone who cares. A small gift can help fill another bowl. Together, even one simple act can bring comfort, hope, and another day of care for these innocent lives. 🕊️🐾

The UN has found that Israel deliberately targeted maternity wards and neonatal units as a direct strategy.
Please RT this until the UK Govt stops supporting the GENOCIDAL state of Israel & doing it in our name.
Thank you.
WELL DONE MILLIBAND JUST WONDERFUL!
Over a thousand wind turbines across Britain contain banned ASBESTOS in brake parts supplied by Chinese manufacturers .
The chrysotile asbestos banned in Britain since 1999 was found in lift and hoist brakes . A major and very expensive ( paid by the taxpayer ) clean up operation is now underway with costs expected to be substantial .
Not forgetting if any of those brake pads broke and the asbestos got into the ground the fibres don't break down they would stay in the soil for a longtime making the land contaminated meaning it couldn't be disturbed with digging or grown on . Dangerous stuff if airborne
The GMB union is demanding full details from the government .
Every day, our rescued cats wake up to another battle against hunger, fear, and uncertainty. These innocent souls have already endured so much, and despite everything they continue to greet us with trust and love. Lately, we have been watching them struggle more than ever. Their food supplies are running low, their needs keep growing, and it is heartbreaking to see exhaustion in their fragile bodies and sadness in their eyes.
We do everything we can to care for them because they are part of our family. We share our limited resources between our families and our rescued cats, but the burden has become heavier than we can carry alone. The crisis surrounding us continues to deepen, and we fear that without support, we may no longer be able to provide the food and care they desperately need.
To our dear friends, thank you for every act of kindness, every prayer, every donation, and every moment of support you have given us. Your compassion has helped our families survive and has kept hundreds of rescued cats fed and safe. Today, we humbly ask for your help once again. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference and help us continue protecting these precious lives. Your kindness means more than words can express. 🙏🐾

My friends, these are dark and difficult days, made so much darker by feeling so alone. 😔 I'm not doing well, my friends, I need help urgently to feed the cats and look after my family. 😿🆘 No matter how hard I work it's never enough to give the cats a good meal, there's always more I wish I was doing. 💔🐈 They are one of my only comforts now, my friends. 🐾🥺 They provide comfort while I am feeling this way. 🫂 How long will we be forced to live in violence and hunger, my friends? 💔 It feels like it goes on and on, through the night and day, and the difficulties keep piling high and things become more difficult to bear. 😢 I am in so much debt it would drown me if it was in front of me, and I feel so terribly when my friends ask for help and I can't do anything for them. 😭 I never imagined that life after the war would be like this, as if the war never ended at all. 💔😢 I hope you will be able to help us, my friends. 🙏🫂 Your donations help make life less difficult for us and for our friends and we can help the cats suffering from hunger and starvation together. 🐈🆘️ Please help us survive, my friends, please help me. ❤️

Israel targeted and killed the “Turtle lady” in her home in Lebanon.
She spent her life protecting some of the most vulnerable creatures on Earth.
For over 25 years, she protected loggerhead and green sea turtles.
More appalling measures from the Australian Government who advise health workers to administer vaccines ‘opportunistically’ while patients are sedated !
So much for informed consent !
My friends, these are difficult days, I would be so grateful to have your support for my family and our poor animals so we do not have to suffer so much. 🥺🙏 I only want to look after my children and provide them with a good life, they deserve a childhood and an education and to be able to follow their dreams. 🙏🫂 I feel so sad when I think about how much of Maria's childhood she has already endured, and I wish I could give my children a better life than living in the remains and constant destruction that is everywhere. 💔😭 It is our duty and responsibility to look after the people and animals who are in a more terrible situation, my friends, and I hope that you will be able to support them so that no more death has to occur. 🙏🆘️ Starving cats and hungry families are waiting for your generous hand, and I would be very happy to be able to help them. 😿🐾 Your constant love and support has sustained my family for a long time and I am grateful that you continue to stand by us. 🫂❤️ Please do not abandon us yet, my friends. 🥺🙏 Thank you very much for your time. ♥️

With heartfelt gratitude, we reach out to you once again during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Our families and our beloved cats are struggling to survive, and we urgently need your help to provide food and essential supplies before conditions become even harder.
These innocent, voiceless cats depend entirely on us. They cannot ask for help, seek shelter, or find food on their own. Every donation, no matter how small, brings nourishment, safety, and hope to both our families and the precious animals in our care.
If our story touches your heart, please consider supporting us today. Your kindness can make the difference between hunger and relief, fear and comfort, despair and hope. Thank you for standing beside us and helping us keep going.
