The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.

This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

This man, who sexually assaulted a 6 yr old girl, got a fully suspended sentence b|c he was a stranger to her & therefore the sexual assault couldn’t be ‘premeditated’

Ireland yet again showing its utter contempt for women & girls

Shame on you Judge Sinéad Ní Chúlacháin 😡

Former software engineer at Apple is whistleblowing

She says whenever Apple launches a new phone, they would push an update to older iPhones with malware to slow them down. This pushes people to upgrade

“I used to be a software engineer at Apple, and with every new phone that was released, malware was installed on the older phones to make you have to update, so your phone's not just glitching. It's doing that on purpose. Share before it's deleted”

She’s telling the truth, this was proven in court

The 2017 “Batterygate” scandal, where Apple was caught deliberately slowing down older iPhones through software updates

Apple was caught red handed doing this they even admitted it in court

Apple released iOS updates that intentionally throttled and reduced CPU performance. This caused phones to feel slower, glitchy and laggy

Apple’s stated reason: To prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by aging lithium-ion batteries

https://t.co/PZleg5uHbv is a website that tracks fuel prices. But it is a collaborative effort. The more people that update the prices the more accurate it is. Can help each other find the best prices in our area.

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

When Irish people say "the other day," it could be anytime between yesterday and birth.

[ArchaeoHistories @histories_arch]

In December 1968, a young mother in Ireland wakes from a four-day coma, her body ravaged by her third pregnancy in less than two years. The twins she delivered are healthy, but May McGee has nearly paid for them with her life...

Her doctor's words are blunt. Another pregnancy could kill her. He writes a prescription for a diaphragm and spermicidal jelly, contraceptives she cannot legally obtain in her own country. The only option is to import them from the UK.

When the package arrives at Irish customs, it's seized. Officials deliver a chilling warning to the McGees: attempt this again, and face prosecution. May McGee, just 24 years old with four children born in 23 months, is told by her government that her life is less important than a law written in 1935.

She refuses to accept it. "I was livid that somebody in government could tell us how to live our lives," she would later recall. "I wasn't going to back down."

With support from their doctor and the Irish Family Planning Association, the McGees file a lawsuit. The High Court rejects them in 1972. But they appeal to the Supreme Court, and on December 19, 1973, something remarkable happens. In a 4-1 decision, the court rules that married couples have a constitutional right to privacy in family planning decisions.

The moment that crystallized the case came during testimony. When asked how he felt about his wife using contraceptives, Shay McGee answered with devastating simplicity: "I'd prefer to see her using contraceptives than be placing flowers on her grave."

Years later, Supreme Court Justice Gerard Hogan would call it the court's "single most important decision" in nearly a century, one that ignited "a social revolution." Yet that revolution moved painfully slowly. Politicians didn't pass legislation allowing even limited access until 1979, and only for married couples with prescriptions. Full unrestricted access to contraception didn't arrive until 1993, twenty years after the McGees won their case.

The Sunday after their victory, May and Shay attended Mass in Skerries. From the altar, they were publicly condemned. They walked out and never returned to the church. May McGee never sought recognition for what she had done, but her refusal to back down transformed Irish society and opened doors for generations of women who followed.

Before joining the Veterans Administration, Alex Pretti did medical research to help treat cancer. His work is published in medical journals.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: The innocent man who was executed by federal agents in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

His blood is on Trump's hands.

Pretti has an address listed in South Minneapolis and had no serious criminal record with only a few parking tickets. He was a lawful gun owner with a permit and had a nursing license that was issued in 2021 and remains active.

It's absolutely paramount that we spread the truth about this man far and wide because Homeland Security is already rushing to smear him. The department released a lie-riddled statement, claiming that Pretti approached federal agents with a 9mm handgun. In reality, footage shows that he approached them with his phone to film. The agents then swarmed him, beat him into submission on the ground, and then executed him by firing multiple rounds into his helpless form.

If indeed Pretti did have a gun on him —and it's safe to presume that everything that this administration is a lie until proven otherwise — he had a legal right to carry it. The video offers no indication that he attempted to draw it on the agents. Apparently the Second Amendment only applies to Republicans.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that the agents be identified and prosecuted!
