Remember when the Panama Papers came out, revealed that all rich people in the world are part of enormous criminal network to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts, and the journalist who reported was murdered by a car bomb, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
Remember that there are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men and women who raped, cannibalized, trafficked, filmed, terrorized, tortured, hunted, and murdered 13, 14, 15 year children, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
Remember that the United States literally kidnapped a sitting president of a foreign country and his wife and they’ve just been sitting in jail for the past 6 months, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
Remember that there are two genocides—one in Gaza and the other in Lebanon—and that there are arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
Remember that the US military bombed a school in Iran, killed 168 schoolgirls, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
Remember that there are hundreds of terrorist settlers terrorizing the West Bank and burning people's homes while families and children are asleep inside, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
Remember that the US is starving and killing babies in Cuba, blocking 7,000 containers of medicine, food, and power from reaching Cuba, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.
This is what will happen—and continue to happen—if we do not unite to enforce international law.
Here’s the mug shots of the sick fucks who abducted, sexually assaulted, and held 163 children captive in Florida.
Not trans
Not immigrants
Not Muslim
And you don’t even need to wonder who they voted for: The convicted felon and child-raping pedophile in the White House.
You're watching millions of people, including more than 40,000 children are in labor camps and cobalt mines in DR Congo.
Congo is bleeding, It has not ended over 5 million people are dead. Women are being force-fed human flesh. And the worst Ebola outbreak on record.
The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.
They just rescued 163 kidnapped kids in underground cages with duct tape over their mouths from a human trafficking ring in Florida and it hasn’t been on the news once because it’s 3 white maga Christian dudes that ran it. Take all the time you need with that one
I’m writing these words to you from inside Gaza City, and I say this with complete honesty: the reality here has become far worse than you can truly imagine.
Poverty has affected more than 90% of people here. Tents are packed tightly together in overcrowded camps; they have worn out, torn apart, and filled with holes, and they no longer protect us from the heat, cold, or rain. The area of the city where we can actually live is no more than 30%, and every day, homes that survived the war are being targeted.
Skin diseases are spreading frighteningly among children. Hospitals are out of service, and dental clinics have also started shutting down. There is an extreme shortage of water, foreign organizations have almost completely stopped operating, and cars are beginning to break down because of the lack of engine oil and spare parts. Education has completely collapsed, and the very limited supplies entering Gaza are nowhere near enough.
Life here is almost completely nonexistent. We live on promises, but nothing changes except that the suffering grows, needs multiply, and every day life becomes harsher and more complicated.
Gaza is not coming back to life… we are simply trying not to die.
Glasgow deserves better than periodic ritual condemnation.
If I hadn’t spent real time in Glasgow; walking those streets at 3am feeling safer than in most European cities; I might have swallowed the latest BBC framing wholesale.
But I have been there. I’ve seen the city at night, felt its pulse, and known its people. So when pieces like this reduce Glasgow to drugs, violence and racism, it lands as something more than journalism. It feels like a selective, recurring campaign that shows little regard for the community it claims to examine.
Every city has problems that demand honest attention and real solutions. Pretending otherwise helps no one. Glasgow is no exception. But painting an entire city and its people through the darkest lens available, while treating occasional disorder as defining character, is not balance. It is disregard.
Glaswegians have long punched above their weight. The “People Make Glasgow” ethos is not empty branding; it is lived reality.
Problems exist and should be confronted without denial. But reducing a complex, resilient city to a weekly dossier of its worst moments, while soft-pedalling the everyday dignity, creativity and solidarity of its people, is not serious analysis. It is a narrative that erodes more than it illuminates. Again, Glasgow deserves better than periodic ritual condemnation.

If you find yourself asking why isn’t the world doing something to stop the genocide in Gaza and you have not spoken up, they are taking your silence as approval. Whether you’ve 2 or 2 million followers speak up FFS!
Silence is complicity.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
A video clearly shows an unarmed, injured person being bombed by Israeli aircraft along with his fellow unarmed civilians in cold blood.
A video that the world must never forget.
Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.
British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.
Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.
It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.
