I asked the UN: “Why did you name the Islamic Republic of Iran as Chair of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum, starting on Nov. 2nd? How can you elevate a regime that beats, blinds, tortures & rapes women who demand their rights? Where is the logic? Where is the morality?”
Unelected, junta-appointed spoilers of democracy have declared the leader of a coalition which received ~70% of the vote inelligble for a Prime Ministership vote & also ruled him inelligable as an MP.
The old-guard has shattered the ballot box, make them listen to the street.

Remember that whole pushback from the Israeli government and natonalists to HRW's declaration of Israel's system of apartheid... Well this is the literal definition of apartheid.

What do our photos have in common?
We are in exile. We are not allowed to live in Crimea. Why?
Because we are Crimean Tatars.
Because russians are trying to destroy our nation and steal our land.
China just experienced its highest temperature in recorded history, topping out at an unbelievable 52.2°C (126°F).
This crushes the country's previous all-time high by 1.7°C (3°F).
Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.
Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.
Another milestone in Guatemala: we have now removed over one thousand truckloads of trash from the Rio Las Vacas. 🇬🇹
This is our toughest river challenge so far, but we’re continually working to improve Interceptor 006 and keep tons of plastic from entering the Caribbean Sea.

This is how the Hong Kong government considers severity of criminal behaviours. A rapist of an underage girl is wanted for HKD100,000 while a peaceful activist overseas is wanted ten times than that (= HKD1,000,000).
Earlier today, Palestinian journalists shared shocking images of their cameras getting hit by Israeli gunfire.
They say they ran out of the way with almost no time to spare.

I'll keep posting here until Bluesky opens publicly, but the writing is very much on the wall about twitter.
Tomorrow marks seven years since the Brexit vote & the pantomime of right-wing elites in British politics continues.
Even the regions with the biggest Brexit vote know they were tricked. Time to take back control & rejoin EU!

The Titanic sub billionaire rescue mission is entering final hours of hope to find survivors.
Meanwhile in Italy & Greece, search & rescue to save people at sea is criminalised.

How far removed from reality are @UN Tribunals?
Well, read how they dismiss my concern that @UNHumanRights is complicit in genocide.
