🚨BREAKING: Israeli Soldiers Release A Photo Allegedly Showing A Palestinian They Just Kidnapped In Gaza
The genocide never ended in Gaza, the daily death toll just dropped & the media stopped looking.
ISRAHELL raped this doctor, to death @IDF YOU SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HIM, TO DEATH
You violated this man's body, until his body couldn't handle it anymore, you are sick, genocidal, terrorists who have no right to breath @IDF
@AlanRMacLeod This was Doctor Adnan Al-Bursh.
This is who Israel is killing: The most skilled people and the kindest people imaginable.
“Israeli forces left the severely tortured doctor naked from the waist down, to die alone in agonising pain in the prison’s yard.”
People keep asking the Iranian players if they support LGBTQ rights.
Why doesn’t someone ask the U.S. players if they support the U.S funded genocide in Palestine?
El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.
Forte desabafo de Mehdi Taremi, capitão da Seleção do Irã, após o jogo contra o Egito.
"Esta é uma Copa do Mundo desastrosa. Como jogadores profissionais, não podemos disputar uma competição nessas condições, não está certo nem é justo.
Se a FIFA acha que isso é justo, problema deles, mas não é. Quem deveria resolver esse problema por nós? A FIFA? Os Estados Unidos? Não sei! Me digam um nome. O presidente da FIFA, Gianni Infantino, veio ao nosso vestiário depois do primeiro jogo contra a Nova Zelândia e disse que ia resolver todos os problemas, mas, na verdade, a FIFA não fez nada.
Respondendo a sua pergunta: ‘Vocês sentem que os organizadores da Copa do Mundo, incluindo a FIFA e os funcionários americanos, preferem que o Irã seja eliminado da competição?’, eu digo: Temos que lutar contra absolutamente tudo. Não podemos ficar no país, viajamos e nos submetemos a controles migratórios toda vez que queremos jogar, agora não podemos ficar em Seattle e temos que voltar para Tijuana. Eles fizeram de tudo para nos eliminar, então, do nosso ponto de vista, sim, acho que é isso que querem, querem nos fora.”

THIS, THIS is exactly what I've been screaming 4 nearly three years; when u withhold a diabetics medication, this is what happens; I know this from personal experience, we turn into living skeletons, IF we're lucky enough 2 survive
Israel is the poster child for medical neglect
Every time I spoke on the BBC and uttered the word genocide, the host rushed to dismiss its very legitimacy. Each one of them has blood on their hands.
Keep sharing, spread this; it's been three years, but some of us will never stop talking
ISRAHELL, purposely withheld insulin from type one diabetics
34 years as a type one diabetic, I will NEVER STFU about this, ISRAHELL is sick
In England, you're allowed to clear about 20 metres of silt and rubbish out of a river on your own. Anything past that needs a permit from the Environment Agency. Paul Powlesland's volunteers cleared a 250-metre stretch of the River Roding with a hired digger, which is why a barrister who hauled out 200 bags of trash is now under criminal investigation.
The Roding runs through east London. Powlesland lives on a boat moored on it, and for years he and a group of volunteers have pulled out shopping trolleys, needles, old appliances, even weapons. Kingfishers, herons and dragonflies came back to water that used to be buried under junk. This one job took 10 days and a digger that cost £1,000 to hire.
The rule that caught him is oddly specific. Under England's water rules, scooping silt off the bottom of a river the agency officially manages counts as a "flood risk activity", and the law treats that the same as building a structure in the water. Do it without a permit and the offence carries up to two years in prison. The agency says it is also looking at waste the volunteers left on the floodplain. Powlesland is an environmental lawyer who has used these exact laws to protect rivers and trees, and a conviction could cost him his licence to practise.
The agency's reasoning isn't unreasonable. Dredging done badly can push flooding onto people downstream and wreck the habitat that protected animals need, which is what the permit is meant to prevent. The 20-metre allowance is there for small jobs. And no decision to prosecute has actually been made.
While investigators were knocking on a volunteer's door within a week of his cleanup, water companies discharged raw sewage into England's rivers and seas for a combined 3.6 million hours in 2024, more than 400 years of spilling packed into a single year. Only 14% of English rivers are in good health. Between 2015 and 2025, the Environment Agency investigated water companies for pollution 11,474 times. Fifty-eight of those ended in a prosecution. For serious pollution over the last five years, the number of water companies actually taken to court and convicted is zero.
So the message comes out backwards. Spend ten days and a thousand pounds making a river cleaner and an officer turns up within the week. Pump sewage into that same river for years and the chance of seeing a courtroom is close to zero.
Look at what this man did, with the assistance of hundreds of other volunteers
Why would someone who's cleaned our earth, be facing a prison sentence? That's asinine
Before & After…
If anyone doubts the power of community action over the @EnvAgency’s spineless inertia, you can walk to the outskirts of Ilford & walk along an ancient lost river to see for yourself.
With 10 days of intense effort by dedicated volunteers, the river River Roding Trust managed to clean up & restore 250 metres of the Aldersbrook (about 1/3 of the brook). This allows a direct comparison between the parts of the brook we restored & those we haven’t got round to yet.
These photos & videos are all from May 2026. The first is on a part of the Aldersbrook still to be restored & shows the old flood defences which are no longer needed & are killing the river but which the EA won’t remove unless we volunteers pay them £50,000 just for surveys. These defences have caused 2-3ft of stinking sludge & silt to build up over 70 years, such that the water in the brook is just a few centimetres deep. Combine with huge amounts of rubbish & and out of control knotweed infestation & the river ecosystem is essentially dead. A river that is older than England destroyed by official indifference.
A hundred metres away, and it’s a different story. The rubbish & the invasive species (I sprayed the knotweed myself last autumn) are gone. The silt that used to clog the river is now spread on the banks & rapidly providing fertile ground for native plants. Instead of sludge, there’s 2-3ft of water, so fish have returned to the brook for the first time in decades, along with dragon flies, herons & a nesting moorhen. We river guardians knew our intervention would make a difference, but have been shocked at quite how quickly nature has come back. The restored Aldersbrook is now a rare jewel: pretty much the last fully natural tidal brook in London.
The EA now has a choice. It can salvage some good from this situation & work with us to restore the remaining sections of the brook, or it can continue to do nothing. If the latter, river guardians *will* be back this winter to finish the job & the EA can see how well prosecuting volunteers for restoring a river without permission goes for them.
I’m sorry, this is total bollocks. I have been looking after my river for a decade and you have done absolutely nothing to support me and the other hundreds of volunteers who give up their free time to do your job for you and to stop the river we love from dying.
This picture is the part of the Aldersbrook that we haven’t yet restored. Do you agree that allowing one of the ancient rivers of London to disappear beneath a layer of sewage, silt, rubbish & knotweed is a disgrace? If so, when can we expect EA teams down in the river to sort it out?
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
