An ancient city is being erased in broad daylight, and the âcivilized worldâ watches on.
Itâs not just British politicians who are silent. Across the West, politicians refuse to condemn these atrocities and call them what they are: barbarism.
These arenât armed fighters. Theyâre paramedics. These arenât battlefields. Theyâre villages.
Attacks donât become a pattern by accident. The real outrage isnât just the attacks; itâs the impunity and indifference that let them continue.
Cubaâs government said the country has completely run out of fuel oil and diesel needed to keep the lights on, with extensive blackouts sparking protests for the third day in a row this week https://t.co/gau4nX5JE0
Dear @SecRubio,
As a fellow member of the âvisa ban clubâ, Iâm glad to see you were allowed to visit China â simply by adjusting one accent in your name.
Would you consider my US visa application under âTerry Bretonâ? đ
Israel, if everyone is lying, open Gaza.
If the ICC, the UN, international human rights organisations, Israeli rights groups, journalists, doctors, humanitarian workers, aid agencies, witnesses, and survivors are all lying, then open Gaza.
Let independent investigators, forensic experts, journalists, and UN monitors in.
A state confident in the truth does not fear investigation. A state afraid of the truth blocks access.
Open Gaza.
The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers.
If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems.
The point is less about individual morality. Itâs more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale.
Weâre talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability.
Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. Thatâs on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.
An 80-year-old man who survived Israelâs invasion of Lebanon decades ago has been pulled out from under the rubble of his house, after an Israeli air attack on his town in southern Lebanon.
China has absorbed disruption risks in the Strait of Hormuz by leaning on discounted Iranian oil for smaller refineries. Beijing has told firms to ignore new US sanctions as it calls for a ceasefire and free navigation in the waterway.

Zambia must decide by April 30 if it'll provide US businesses with preferential access to its minerals, or lose support for 1.3 million people who rely on funding from Washington for HIV treatment.
