What I'd just say to you is, my Ministers arrived with tremendous clarity abt what they wanted to do & that's to repay donors by letting them write our policies in their own interests, & I don't appreciate the media questioning me about that.

If you’re still deciding between voting for Kamala Harris or Jill Stein, please take a moment to watch. I made this video with Palestinian American and political activist @RaniaBatrice. We understand being conflicted but wanted to share our perspective.

Have so far had two people coming and yelling at people to leave the line at the polling place because it's closing.
THIS IS SUPER ILLEGAL, DO NOT LEAVE THE LINE.
Dear Mom ❤🙏
My journey ends here, I didn't feel any pain, don't worry. I just felt very sad, but I got used to being alone. Dying without anyone by my side seemed familiar.
I spent so many years in that pound that I got used to living within those four walls and seeing them as the only place in the world that felt safe.
Dear Mom, I don't want to make you feel guilty
I just wish you knew I was there.
When you were looking for a friend, I just wish you wouldn't look for that chubby puppy in that pet store
I wish someone would show you the right way to go. I wish you would visit my kennel and choose me instead of that beautiful purebred puppy raised by your friend.
When you were looking for a dog that would lie at your feet while you rested on the couch, that dog could have been me.
When you were looking for a dog to climb the highest mountains with, I could have been your best choice.
Dear Mom, it's not your fault, I know there was a mommy for me out there and that mommy should have been you. Except we never met.
Dear Mom, don't be sorry, don't cry. Last night when I fell asleep, I think I dreamed. You came to my cage, opened the door and took me for a walk, then we took a ride in your car, you took me back to your house and I lay on your bed, my eyes open, to see everything there was to see.
Dear Mom, I'm sorry I never told you where I lived. I thought you knew.
I died happy today. While trying to wake up, I heard your voice calling me and it was the sweetest sound I have ever heard.
Goodbye.
I am the dog you could have adopted.
PLEASE GO ADOPT FROM SHELTERS THANK YOU ❤🙏
“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.
We're absolutely horrified that at least 50 children have reportedly been killed in an Israeli attack on homes in northern Gaza over the weekend.
At least 14,100 children have been killed in Gaza so far. How many children killed is too many before our leaders say 'enough is enough'?
The UK government remains complicit, refusing to suspend all arms sales - despite the clear risk of violations of International humanitarian law.
"If the international community does not intervene soon, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be erased, along with their futures. All states have a legal obligation to prevent the crime of genocide" - Jeremy Stoner, Middle East Regional Director for Save the Children.
We are continuing to urge the UK government to use its power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.
Today we remember not just the darkness & unjust invasion of #Parihaka, but also celebrate the spirit of peaceful social justice activism that speaks to our unbroken values as a people, & mihi to the enduring mana, courage, & mokopuna-decisions of the Parihaka community #nzpol
Retired Jewish professor Haim Bresheeth, a child of Holocaust survivors and founder of the Jewish Network for Palestine, was arrested under a UK anti-terrorism law after speaking at a recent Palestine solidarity protest in London.
Tragic Loss: The Death of Gol Bibi Highlights Ongoing Violence in Afghanistan
In a heartbreaking reminder of the brutality facing women in Afghanistan, Gol Bibi, a 55-year-old woman, succumbed to injuries sustained from an assault by a Taliban police commander in Darqad, Takhar province. Her tragic death underscores the alarming reality of gender-based violence that continues to plague Afghanistan society under Taliban rule.
The Incident
Gol Bibi was reportedly beaten by the Taliban commander during an encounter that escalated into violence. Despite being rushed to the hospital for treatment, the injuries she sustained were too severe, ultimately leading to her death. This incident is not an isolated case; it reflects a broader pattern of violence and oppression that Afghanistan women face daily.
A Culture of Impunity
The Taliban’s return to power has been marked by a resurgence of oppressive practices and a culture of impunity for those in positions of authority. Women are disproportionately affected by this climate, as the Taliban enforces strict interpretations of Islamic law that deny them basic rights and protections. Instances of violence against women, like that of Gol Bibi, often go unpunished, perpetuating a cycle of fear and oppression.
The Human Cost of Repression
Gol Bibi’s death serves as a tragic testament to the human cost of the Taliban’s regime. It highlights the vulnerability of women who, despite their strength and resilience, are subjected to violence for simply existing in public spaces. The loss of Gol Bibi is not just a personal tragedy; it is a stark reminder of the systemic violence that threatens the lives and freedoms of countless Afghanistan women.
The Need for International Attention
As the international community watches the situation in Afghanistan unfold, the plight of women like Gol Bibi must not be forgotten. There is an urgent need for increased advocacy and support for Afghanistan women, who are fighting not only for their rights but for their very survival. Global awareness and intervention can play a crucial role in holding the Taliban accountable for their actions.

The lines to vote at the University of Central Florida are 2 to 3 hours long and have been for the past week. Meanwhile, at other early voting locations with older populations it’s 10 minutes. @OCFElections is suppressing the youth vote. This is election interference.
