🇵🇱 Polish Nationalist Grzegorz Braun, leader of the Monarchist wing of Konfederacja, extinguishes the Polish parliament's Hanukkah menorah with a fire extinguisher 🧯🕎
Braun has complained of the desire of America and Israel to turn Catholic Poland into a "Jewish state".
At this year's independence march, he said "We do not want the Polish people to be collateral for the acts of genocide taking place right now in Palestine.” 🇵🇱❌🇮🇱
so they literally forced him to go to public school against his mothers wishes instead of online school even though he was a level 6, then get an aid who breaks his IEP protocol resulting in this violent outburst- basically u put this kid in a position u knew he’d lash out at.
Look. This is what @POTUS is using our tax dollars to fund. Next time you can't make rent, or you're late on your student loan repayments, or you are drowning in debt, just remember how our government stole our hard-earned money to bomb babies on the other side of the world.
Africa! our brother has just self-immolated to draw global attention to the genocide in the Congo, a situation we often overlook.
While African and Western Media fails to cover the atrocities occurring there, we must take it upon ourselves and share their story.💔

A significant part of the armed conflict in the Congo stems from the sale of cobalt to major technology companies like Apple, Samsung, Tesla, and some other Chinese companies. Inhumane mining operations are supervised by soldiers of the armed forces or the aforementioned militia elements, with these militias being paid by these companies.
About 80% of the world's cobalt is extracted from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The world's demand for cobalt is not just due to its volume; this rare material is a critical component of all rechargeable lithium-ion batteries necessary for the electric vehicle industry.
These militias employ children (child labor) in cobalt mines, where children toil for up to 18 hours crouched in narrow tunnels with no space to sit upright, inhaling toxic particles and living in fear of a tunnel collapse at any moment. These tunnels often collapse, burying alive everyone inside.
Cobalt is toxic upon contact or inhalation and may be found alongside radioactive uranium residues. Thus, those working in mining without protective gear and clothing develop cancer, respiratory diseases, and painful skin conditions. Children of miners suffer from congenital deformities and developmental problems.
In summary, cobalt supply chains tainted with slavery, oppression, persecution, and child labor fuel this conflict. Although multinational companies boast on their websites of their commitment to human rights, not employing children, and securing clean (non-polluting) supply chains, along with their financial disclosures and ethical practices, the reality completely denies this. Reports confirm that they turn a blind eye to massacres to ensure their share of precious and strategic minerals.
The conflict that erupted two weeks ago is a continuation of this dynamic we've described above. Therefore, I urge you to be the voices for those voiceless in the Congo, as it's evident that multinational companies will not let a genocide affect their profits. Profit has always come at the expense of humanity for them.
Congo has more than 260 armed groups, people with limited knowledge about what is going on in DRC find it easy to blame one group and forget the root cause, they are too superficial to realize how DRC is a lawless country , a corruptocratic regimes that succeed each other and ineptocracy.
No one has ears to understand the ethnic cleaning of Banyarwanda which started 60 years, but they want to talk about minerals they can’t demonstrate how the plundering takes place . These cannibalism cases are nothing to fools who think that all those armed groups came out of thin air —strange world
