The public flogging of 63 individuals, including 15 women, on multiple charges in a sports stadium in the Sar-e-Pol province, Afghanistan, is shocking, inhumane and violates international law.
My message to young people, civil society & other climate activists:
You're on the right side of history.
You speak for the majority.
Keep it up. Don’t lose hope.
It’s We the Peoples vs. the polluters and the profiteers.
Together, we can win.

Brexiteer Nigel Farage keert terug in de Britse politiek. Als leider van de partij #Reform. Eerst zijn land naar de kloten helpen en dan dit. De man staat in nauw contact met Trump en Orbán. De zoveelste misselijkmakende clown 🤡. #nieuwsuur
#Iran: Een simpele daad van verzet!
Dit is de Iraanse schrijver #HosseinShanbehzadeh.
Hij plaatste eenvoudigweg één punt onder de tweet vd Opperste Leider vd Islamitische Republiek #Khamenei, en dat punt kreeg veel meer likes dan de tweet van Khamenei. Daarvoor werd hij gisteren gearresteerd.
Met één punt verbeeldde hij de vernedering van Khamenei en zijn criminele regime.
Dit onthult op grimmige wijze de kwetsbaarheid van dictaturen, die bang zijn voor zelfs de eenvoudigste daden van verzet!
Wees svp zijn stem. #WomanLifeFreedom
Vraagje: mogen vandaag alle oude auto’s die op diesel rijden vandaag zonder een boete te krijgen de LEZ-zone in Brussel binnen? Of mogen enkel landbouwvoertuigen dit ongestraft? Waarom?

BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell brutally destroys the "cult" of Donald Trump during a House Judiciary Committee hearing — enraging MAGA fans as the speech goes viral.
This is just too good...
"My colleagues, none of this today that you are bringing up makes sense. Your inconsistencies, your hypocrisy, your sycophancy, unless you are in a cult. And guys, I'm starting to think you're in a cult," said Swalwell during a hearing with Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Swalwell then really tore in—
"So if you believe in states' rights, except when a jury in that state convicts your nominee for president, you might be in a cult," said the Congressman. "If you claim you back the blue but want to defund the police when the police go to your nominee's house to retrieve national security secrets, you might be in a cult."
"If you're supporting a guy whose felony convictions prevent him from getting a security clearance, you might be in a cult," he went on.
"And if the guy you're supporting for president has felony convictions that prevent him from going to Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and the UK, you might be in a cult," he added.
Swalwell's comments were so good that one Republican even demanded that they be removed from the record. Instead, MAGA Chairman Jim Jordan angrily slammed his gavel and said that Swalwell's time was up.
Unfortunately for Trump, Swalwell's bravura speech is now recorded for all of history. And he's absolutely correct. MAGA is a cult — and this November we defeat it for good.

BREAKING: Deeply corrupt Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ignites a furious scandal by refusing to answer whether he ever paid back the massive $267,000 "loan" that he received from a millionaire executive.
And it gets even worse....
Democratic Senators Ron Wyden and Sheldon Whitehouse sent a letter to Thomas' attorney asking for an explanation for the "loan" from healthcare executive Anthony Welter which Thomas used to purchase a luxury RV.
In the letter, the senators point out that Thomas, a rabid Republican, never disclosed whether the $267,000 was paid back or forgiven.
If it was simply forgiven, that would mean it was actually a lump sum gift — or more accurately a bribe. The senators add that it would represent "a significant amount of taxable income."
"Your client’s refusal to clarify how the loan was resolved raises serious concerns regarding violations of federal tax laws," the senators wrote.
Finance committee investigators found that some interest on the "loan" had been paid back but the rest had been forgiven.
At this point, Thomas isn't even attempting to obscure his corruption. He's flaunting it in our faces because he believes that he's above the law. He's been selling our country out for decades to the super-rich in return for overt bribes.
We need a full, immediate investigation into Clarence Thomas. This man doesn't belong on the Supreme Court, he belongs in prison.

If you made $53,000 a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born you would still not make the profit Shell made in 2022.
It’s time for Shell to Stop Drilling and Start Paying for the climate damage they’ve caused.
