A meeting about the army barracks in crowbrough being used to house asylum seekers
The council doesn’t care about the safety of you and your family; it only cares about collecting your council tax.
Please make her famous to save her life. A 22-year-old Afghan woman called Khadija Ahmadzada was arrested by the Taliban’s morality police in the past week after secretly teaching girls taekwondo.
The Taliban has banned sports for women and girls in Afghanistan.

From inside Iran:
"This is probably my last message.
The regime is going door to door, confiscating satelite dishes and Starlink. Just like in the early 2000s.
Be our voice."
Heartbreaking song that brought us to tears.
This UK street performer is literally expressing how we all feel.
“All that we want is our borders closed….”
India’s digital ID disaster is a warning to the world.
Over a billion people were forced into a biometric system linking food, pensions, and healthcare to a single digital ID. The result? A humanitarian crisis.
Criminals hacked and cloned identities, leaving families starving, elderly without pensions, and the sick turned away from hospitals.
In one state alone, two dozen people starved to death after being denied rations due to system failures. Millions of fake accounts siphoned funds meant for the poor, creating a black market for stolen identities.
Sold as “secure,” it became a tool for control and exploitation. When survival depends on a single ID, a glitch—or a hacker—can erase your access to life itself.
This isn’t progress. It’s a blueprint for dystopia.
Let me share a little story on the largest ever single payment from @Binance, the $6m in 2017!
I hope this will help you better understand the #Binance culture.
Binance launched on July 14, 2017, having successfully raised $15m in its ICO two weeks prior.
Less than 6 week later, on Sept 4th, 2017, China issued a ban on crypto exchanges, crypto mining, as well as recommending any ICO projects to return users investments in full should the users want it.
With the announcement, many tokens dropped below their ICO price. BNB dropped from 22x to 6x of its ICO price. Luckily, it was still 6x. So no one wanted to return $6 for $1.
However, four other projects on Binance fell below their ICO prices. The teams behind those projects lacked the funds to fully reimburse their users.
Our team ran some calculations. The gap was about $6 million USD.
The team called me and asked if we should use our own funds to make our users whole, even though those were neither our projects, nor our obligation.
$6m million might not sound like a lot today, but to put it in perspective, we had raised $15 million just eight weeks prior. We were not profitable. We were buying servers and hiring people. We were burning cash.
Giving $6 million to users would deplete our corporate treasury by more than 40%.
I joined the call on a moving train in Tokyo. I asked if anyone had any objections.
No one objected. I said, “let’s do it”.
Percentage wise, that was the single largest transaction in our corporate history.
That announcement immediately received overwhelming responses from the crypto community, not only in China, but around the world.
No other company had protected its users to such an extent, even to this day.
The market rewarded us. Users from around the world joined us. They saw that Binance protected users with not just words, but with action and funds.
When we made the decision to make users whole, we had about 35,000 users. A month later, we had 120,000 users. We became profitable, and have been ever since.
Two months after that, we became the world’s largest crypto exchange, and have been ever since.
Hence our core value: Protect Users!
Joe Rogan has a raw moment on air as he struggles to process the news that Charlie Kirk is dead.
This clip takes you back to the moment we all first heard the devastating news.
Rogan buries his face in his hands, stares off to the side, visibly shaken.
This goes on for two minutes straight.
Charlie Sheen was disturbed, too.
