BREAKING: Six animal advocates facing 10 years in prison for defending innocent calves just won full acquittal in the UK Supreme Court.

In 2022, 6 activists with @AnimalRising peacefully blocked a private road outside of Muller Dairy, the largest milk distributor in the UK. The company had been implicated in disturbing violence toward defenseless calves, including body slamming them, kicking/punching them in the head, and denying them access to food and water. This photo was shot by @ajpReact at a Muller farm.

The goal of the protest, which disrupted the business for 4 hours, was to highlight the abuses of factory farming and push for a plant-based future.

The UK government took no action against Muller, but it did charge the activists under a new statute passed in 2022 targeting protesters with severe penalties. Actions that should have been a low-level trespass suddenly became a "Crown Court offense" (the US equivalent of a felony) that could land each of the activists in prison for up to 10 years.

But in a shocking development, the trial court tossed out the prosecution and said the statute was intended to protect the "public" and not a private corporation, like Muller. Today, the UK Supreme Court upheld that decision.

I don't think anyone thought that the animal advocates could win in court, much less in the highest court of the land. They were defending the most powerless beings in our society—babies ripped from their mothers and prepared for slaughter—and they were going up against an economic giant.

And yet they did win. And there will be many more wins to come. Because the closer we look at what happens to the most defenseless beings, the more we realize that our entire system is broken.

And the more we demand change.

APPEAL | We have issued images of two men we would like to speak to after a taxi driver was assaulted in #Liverpool.

We received a report at just before 11.30pm on Saturday 11 July that the 34-year-old driver had been assaulted by a group of males on Picton Road in #Wavertree.

The driver reported he had collected the males from a restaurant on Mill Lane in #Wavertree.

After reaching their destination the males failed to pay the total fare and when the driver verbally challenged them the males ran back to the taxi, shouted and swore at him and punched him repeatedly in the face before running away.

The driver reportedly lost consciousness and members of the public came to his aid. He was taken to hospital with a facial injury.

An investigation is underway and witness and forensic enquiries carried out.

We have issued images of two men who we believe could assist with our enquiries.

Detective Inspector Jemma Berry said: “This was a nasty and unprovoked assault on a man who was simply trying to do his job.

“This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable and we will do everything within our powers to find those responsible and bring them to justice.

“I would ask anyone who recognises the men to come forward and tell us what they know as we believe they could be vital to our investigation.”

The best thing you will see today is Meeko’s trip to the beach 🏖️ 💦 His joy for the water is so pure, he also found a massive log 🪵🙈😂

It’s so hard to find homes for bigger dogs, especially when the algorithm isn’t being kind to us. Please comment if you can to help a beautiful boy out. The more comments we get, the more people X shows his video to, the greater the chance his future mum or dad sees him.

This is 79-year-old Robert Thompson from Bray. Robert is completely blind, but until recently, he has managed to live a highly independent life with the help of his brilliant guide dog, Rhona.

But right now, Wicklow County Council is failing him, and the entire visually impaired community.

For years, the audible signals at pedestrian crossings across Bray have been faulty. Recently, things have gone from bad to worse. The critical audio signals that tell Robert where the crossing pole is (the "wait" sound) and when it is actually safe to cross (the "go" sound) have stopped working entirely on busy routes near his home.

"There’s no way I would cross that road without the sound," Robert says. "It’s just too dangerous."

To make matters worse, recent changes to the local Dublin bus network (replacing the old 145 route with the E1 spine) mean his usual handy bus stops are gone. Because the council has left the nearby pedestrian signals broken, Robert can no longer cross the street safely at his local stop.

Robert is now forced to get off the bus early and walk a massive, grueling 1.5 kilometers EACH WAY along a highly dangerous, busy stretch of road just to find a single working crossing.

Robert has contacted Wicklow County Council repeatedly. They have acknowledged his complaints, but they have met him with absolute silence regarding any actual repairs.

Basic mobility and safety should be a right, not a luxury. By ignoring these broken signals for years, the council is effectively trapping vulnerable residents in their own towns and actively stripping away their independence.

Please SHARE this post! Let’s get the word out and force Wicklow County Council to do their job, fix the audio signals in Bray, and restore safety and freedom to Robert and others who rely on them!

We have issued CCTV images of a man we would like to speak to following a serious injury fail-to-stop road traffic collision on Mount Vernon Street in Liverpool yesterday, Tuesday 7 July.

At approximately 3.35pm, an electric-assisted pedal cycle was involved in a collision with a woman as she crossed a zebra crossing and stepped onto the pavement, near to the Linda McCartney Centre.

The male rider was also thrown from the cycle. However, he subsequently remounted the bike and rode away, leaving the injured woman unconscious on the ground.

The woman, who is in her 50s, was taken to hospital where she remains in a serious condition.

Emergency services attended the scene and an investigation was launched. A number of road closures were put in place but have since been lifted.

Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, the Lead Investigating Officer from the Merseyside Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "First and foremost, our thoughts are with the woman injured in this collision. Her family are aware and are being supported.

"We have launched an investigation into the circumstances of this incident and my team is working to establish the full facts.

"The person involved would have been aware of the severity of the injuries sustained and it is completely unacceptable that he chose to get back on the bike and ride away.

"We would like to speak to the man pictured as we believe he could assist with our enquiries. If anyone recognises the individual shown, I urge them to contact us immediately.

"The collision occurred on Mount Vernon Street, which runs from Prescot Street through the grounds of the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. We are asking motorists who were in the area at around 3pm, or in the immediate aftermath of the collision, to review any dashcam footage they may have, including front and rear-facing cameras. Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could prove vital to our enquiries.

"Finally, I would like to thank the members of the public who stopped to help in what was undoubtedly a very difficult situation. Their assistance and compassion were greatly appreciated."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Merseyside Police via social media at @MerPolCC, call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0151 777 5747, or email [email protected], quoting reference 26000546903.

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Un 8 de julio de 1763, el comandante colonialista británico en América del Norte, el general Jeffrey Amherst, escribió a uno de sus coroneles: "¿No sería posible infectar con viruela a las tribus nativas indias para extirpar esa aborrecible raza?".

Los colonialistas entregaron mantas infectadas con viruela a los nativos de America del Norte con una sonrisa en la cara, después estallaria una epidemia de viruela que matarian a miles y miles de nativos arrasando las regiones de los Grandes Lagos y del Valle de Ohio en los meses siguientes.

Asi fueron siempre los "valores occidentales", estos son los que llaman "incivilizados" a los inmigrantes.

La historia que no te cuentan en la escuela, en 1899, EEUU perpetraba un genocidio de Filipinas, invadiendo el pais con 70.000 soldados con el único objetivo de colonizarlo y saquearlo, fueron masacrados hasta 1,4 millones de filipinos.

El general estadounidense Smith que lideraba la invasión a Filipinas, dio la orden a sus soldados de matar a toda persona mayor de 10 años.... por lo que las bestias imperialistas masacraron aldeas enteras, torturaron civiles y construyeron campos de concentración donde cientos de miles de civiles perecieron de hambre y enfermedades.

Los luchadores anticoloniales filipinos liderados por los Katipunan, que consiguieron liberar el pais a manos del imperialismo español en 1896, tras 300 años de dominio colonial, volverían a ser oprimidos por los estadounidenses durante otros 44 años y no conseguirían su "independencia" hasta 1946.

Al igual que ocurrió en África, Filipinas nunca ha llegado a ser realmente independiente y a partir de 1946 el imperialismo pasó a una colonización externa, poniendo a dictadores a dedo como Duterte, para tener controlado el pais como una semicolonia.

Te hablan a todas horas de los trillones de muertos del comunismo... pero por lo que sea, nunca hablan de los verdaderos millones de muertos del capitalismo.

🚨Breaking: Dr. Hussam Abu-Safeia, director of Kamal Edwan Hospital, is being killed by Israeli Occupation Forces.

Dr. Hussam is heavily tutored, and each time his lawyer visits, new injuries are discovered on him.

His last words to his lawyer were: “They brought me here to kill me; this is my end.”

Israel has already killed Dr. Hussam’s son, and now it’s Dr.Hussam’s turn.

Raise awareness and speak out to help him before it’s too late.

A primeira foto é de 1956. Ela mostra uma mulher negra observando membros da Ku Klux Klan (organização terrorista, racista, de extrema-direita, focada em supremacia branca) caminhando por uma calçada em Montgomery, Alabama (EUA). Não encontrei o autor da foto, mas a maioria das fontes afirma que foi feita em 1956.

A segunda foto mostra membros do grupo Patriot Front (grupo supremacista branco e nacionalista, formado em 2017, que defende abertamente o que chamam de "Fascismo Americano") viajando no metrô durante o 250º aniversário da independência dos EUA em Washington D.C., enquanto uma mulher negra os observa. A foto é do fotógrafo Cheney Orr, feita em 4 de julho de 2026, 70 anos após a primeira foto.
