The English civil war we're taught in school is quite farcical when you think about it. It wasn't a great Revolution. It was the transfer of power from the monarchy to the aristocracy. Nothing has changed! Working people are still suppressed and exploited, under both regimes! 😡

4 doctors have accused Sussex police of failing to properly investigate a racist attack in Chichester which saw them being called rapists and paedophiles in the street after they left the Foundry Pub
The doctors, who work at St Richard's Hospital, were punched and kicked and told
"go back to your own country" "get back in your dinghies", "you P***s, "you're all rapists" and "you rape children"
@sussex_police

Our Prime Minister @andyburnham is still to call out the rise in racist attacks in this country.

@Campion_81 What you're describing is more communism than modern day socialism. I just want everyone and every company to pay their fair share of taxes. Which would fund public services. Privately owned services have been evidentially proven to be worse and more expensive.

If I was ever to be an MP I could not possibly bring myself to refer to anyone right of centre as "honourable". Luckily, though, the word "horrible" is a quite similar shape 😉

This is a militia, make no mistake about it.

The police have powers to close this down under the Public Order Act 1936 — it specifically prohibits quasi-military organisations.

The most relevant part is that political enforcement or intimidation is central to the prohibition.

Will the police act to stamp this out or will they allow more terrorism on our streets?

Mother loses baby after ICE hits her—pushes her to ground.

She was 7 months pregnant.

"They pushed me hard and hit my arms," she said.
"My belly was already big."

Hospitalized days later—when doctors told her unborn son was already dead.

"The baby received overload of stress the doctors told me."

Now the family is seeking help from the Honduran government to bury the baby.

While his father remains detained for allegedly crossing the border illegally.

He was the sole provider for his wife—and 5 kids.

Incident occurred near Austin, Texas.

A man was lying on a California sidewalk, bleeding from his head, as another man stood over him holding two knives. A mother driving past screamed for the attacker to stop, but he warned her to leave.
Then he raised the knives again. And instead of driving away, she jumped out of her car and ran straight toward him.
Amanda Williams grabbed the attacker’s wrist, stopping him from stabbing the injured man again. But he suddenly turned on her, shoving her into the street and against her car. Amanda refused to let go, fighting until she managed to wrestle both knives from his hands.
She had stopped the attack, but what happened next caught her completely off guard. The man jumped into her still-running car and sped away, leaving Amanda stranded beside the stranger she’d just saved.
Police eventually caught the suspect, but Amanda’s car was wrecked. When a local foundation heard that the single mother and DoorDash driver had lost her vehicle saving someone’s life, they surprised her with a replacement.
But the most touching words came from Roscell Wallace, the man whose life she saved.
“She’s like an angel. God sent her to save me.”
Amanda risked her own life for a stranger. Her courage deserves to be celebrated.

In 1942, a drunk German officer sat at dinner and bragged about the Jewish woman he had selected from the brothel the Nazis had forced open in town. He said her name out loud. The Tunisian Arab sitting across from him stayed calm, smiled, poured more wine, and finished the meal. Then he drove the officer home, sped through the dark streets, and knocked on a door close to midnight. That night, he hid 25 people for four months. He never spoke about it again.
His name was Khaled Abdul-Wahab. He was 31 years old, a wealthy Muslim Tunisian who had studied art and architecture in New York and spoke fluent German. Nazi officers trusted him. They invited him to their dinners.
Tunisia was the only Arab country directly occupied by Nazi Germany during the war. Jewish families were pushed from their homes. More than 5,000 Jewish men were sent to forced labor camps. Yellow stars marked every chest.
That December night in the coastal town of Mahdia, Khaled listened as the officer boasted. The woman he named belonged to a family Khaled had known all his life.
He left immediately. He drove through the night. He knocked on their door at midnight.
Pack nothing. Come now.
He gathered 25 people — mothers, fathers, cousins, and children — and drove them nearly 20 miles to his family farm, hiding them inside the olive press, stables, and storage buildings.
This was not one brave act. It was four straight months of courage.
He fed them while supplies grew scarce. He kept babies quiet. He trusted his servants to stay silent. When German soldiers arrived to count Jewish families, the hidden people pinned yellow stars onto their clothes and stood motionless. When the soldiers left, the stars came off again.
One night, a drunken soldier wandered onto the farm and discovered them. An eleven-year-old girl hiding under a bed watched him laugh and threaten to kill everyone there. Then Khaled appeared. She remembered him her entire life as a guardian angel. He calmly walked the soldier outside, took away his weapon, and sent him off the property.
Nobody on that farm died.
In May 1943, British forces liberated Tunisia. All 25 people returned home alive.
Khaled went back to a quiet life. He married, raised daughters, painted, and worked in government service.
He never told anyone what he had done. Not his wife. Not his children. No one.
He died on September 4, 1997, at the age of 86. His story was buried with him.
Ten years later, his daughter Faiza was sitting in a café in Paris reading a Sunday newspaper when she came across an interview with an American historian describing a Tunisian Arab who had hidden 25 Jews in 1942.
The historian mentioned her father by name.
She was 45 years old and had never heard the story before.
She contacted the historian. One of the children saved on the farm had left behind 83 pages of testimony before her death. Every detail matched.
“I rediscovered my father,” Faiza later said.
Khaled was nominated for Israel’s highest honor given to non-Jews who saved Jewish lives. He would have been the first Arab to receive it.
The committee declined, saying he had not risked his own life enough.
Faiza answered with a line history should never forget:
“My father opened his home to Jews. They did not open theirs to us.”
Today, the 25 people Khaled saved have hundreds of descendants living across Israel, France, America, and Tunisia. The little girl hidden beneath the bed grew up, moved to Paris, and built a family of her own. None of them would exist if Khaled had stayed silent that night.
He had everything to lose. He acted anyway. Then he spent the rest of his life saying nothing about it.
The world nearly forgot him twice. Now you know his name.

@Campion_81 I'm not sure I know what you mean by a nation state? But I would say what drives my politics is a thirst for a more just and equitable society.

[I an Legend @funsizeIan]

@Campion_81 In my experience just the right wing and centrist. Unless you have any examples

[Gramps @GrandpaHarris65]

I am very proud to say that yesterday, my daughter and two sons, spent their days giving people rides to and from the nearest polling places so they could cast their ballots.

Between the three, they transported well over 350 elderly people.

It's a sickening spectacle to see Labour MPs who think anti-Zionism is racism celebrating the election of Abdul Al-Sayed--an anti-Zionist Muslim who they would've expelled from their party

Andrea sells herself on a street corner in Arizona to pay for fentanyl pills. Clients have beaten her, raped her and dumped her on the side of the road with nothing. When she calls the police, she says they want to take her to jail instead. And once she was locked in a room for three days, its walls covered in goodbye notes from the girls who were there before her.

In the video below, the 40-year-old tells how her life ended up here, without raising her voice once.

She grew up being passed from person to person. Her dad took her from her mom at four. At nine, he sent her to live with her grandmother in Texas. At 15, her grandmother had a brain aneurysm and never came home. Andrea left with the first man who would take care of her.

As an adult, she built a real life. She managed hotel properties for most of her career. She had two sons. All she wanted was to give them the stability she never had.

Then she left her husband. She says that in retaliation he destroyed her life and got her kids taken away. She lost the house, then the job.

“I just stuck my head in the sand and disappeared. And nobody came after me.”

She hasn’t spoken to anyone from her old life in four years. Her oldest son is 22 and has a disability. Her youngest is 15. She has no idea what they’ve been told about her.

The drugs started with a doctor. In Texas she was prescribed Vicodin for her back. In Arizona, a new doctor cut her off immediately and pushed surgery. She went to the street for pills and found heroin everywhere. Now she smokes “blues,” counterfeit pills made with fentanyl. She says it’s the only thing that makes her not such a “sad sack.”

She makes two to three hundred dollars a day on 27th Avenue. Just enough for a room and the next day.

Then the host asks about her worst nights. Men who seem kind until the car door locks. Men who beat her. Men who rape her and leave her on the shoulder of the road. Men who drive her far out into nowhere and abandon her.

And then the room.

Three days. A bucket. Tap water. Assaulted again and again. Every wall, the ceiling, even the closet covered in notes: goodbyes to parents, apologies, “I was here.” Then they brought in another girl.

Andrea only got out because of a mix-up. The man who brought her had passed out, and the others assumed she was meant for that room. When he woke up, he told them to let her go. She begged the other girl to come with her. The girl didn’t seem to understand what was happening. She stayed. Andrea never saw her again.

She never reported it. She says every time she calls the police, they want to search her purse and take her to jail.

Somewhere there’s a room full of notes from girls nobody came looking for. Andrea is just the one who walked out.

Some lessons are written in other people’s mistakes. Watch it once. Remember it forever.

Y'all remember George Floyd lost his life over an alleged counterfeit $20 bill while one white man raped an unconscious woman and walked away after serving three months. But we're supposed to believe privilege has nothing to do with race. Sure.

I'm a doctor in the UK with Palestinian family. I spoke out against genocide and jewish supremacy. My medical licence was suspended.

Dr Eastland Staveley, a jewish GP, said he didn't shoot enough babies in Gaza. He is practising medicine freely in Britain.

They proved my point.

@Campion_81 Because none of them are, obviously

Dr. Larissa Portnoff said she was eight years old when Trump started raping her.
The president is a chiId rapist and all of his supporters are totally okay with that.

MAGA is fucking disgusting.
