They shot her three times in the face and head and then denied her medical care and it's all ON CAMERA.
"You said that Israel is at war with Hamas let me ask you a simple question.If you're at war with Hamas,
why are you shooting children in the skull & in the chest? why are you killing journalists? Why are you killing medics? Why are you killing UN workers?"

Jacob Frey after ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota today: “I have a message for ICE — get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. And now somebody is dead. That’s on you. It’s also on you to leave.”
“There is absolutely no justification for letting children starve to death. You don’t need to understand geopolitics to grasp that basic truth.”

The children of Gaza are the bravest in the world.
Despite snipers shooting nearby, children in Gaza continue to turn up to classrooms in tarpaulin tents.
The fact Gaza has slipped off the news agenda makes it more important to amplify voices of those who continue to suffer.
🇬🇧 Russia threatens UK over proposed troop deployment to Ukraine.
Russia has issued fresh threats against the United Kingdom after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said British troops could deploy to Ukraine as part of a post conflict peacekeeping force agreed with France. The plan would activate after a ceasefire and aims to deter renewed Russian aggression.
The response from Moscow was immediate and hostile. Senior Putin ally Dmitry Rogozin mocked Starmer and warned of unspecified military consequences, signaling that even a defensive presence in Ukraine is treated by the Kremlin as escalation.
At the same time, Vladimir Putin framed the war in religious terms during an Orthodox Christmas appearance at a military intelligence facility, while Russian strikes continued to hit Ukrainian cities, wounding civilians and knocking out power to hospitals. Diplomacy talks peace. Russia answers with threats and missiles.

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨
Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.
“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”
That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.
This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.
What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.
For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.
More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.
NHS waiting lists in Scotland are falling for the sixth month in a row, with a 12.8% drop in patients waiting over 52 weeks in just one month.
Sarwar's claims this isn’t real progress are simply wrong. Our NHS is turning a corner.

Households are being fleeced pure and simple!
Energy bills up by 42% since 2021, whilst energy companies made £30 billion profit in just one year. The @GOVUK is turning a blind eye to these excessive profits. Everyday people cannot continue to pay.😡
Fujitsu.
£3.5m profit per day globally which equates to £1,277,500,000 per year.
They have contributed zilch to the compensation to the victims from the #PostOfficeScandal.
A disgusting lack of ethics.
Where is the accountability?
Enough is enough.
#BBCBreakfast#r4today#GMB
The fact no one has been arrested from the Post Office or Fujitsu re the appalling #PostOfficeScandal is disgusting. Postmasters paid money to the Post Office for money they did not owe. Where is the money they paid and when will it be retuned to them. No more bullshit.
