Two senior Iranian officials say Iran refuses to engage in talks with the US because it has repeatedly used negotiations as cover for attacks.

Iran has concluded the US cannot be trusted – and every other country will have concluded exactly the same.

The US has killed diplomacy.

Remember how we once assumed state-corporate media reported the truth rather twisted our minds with fake news to fit with their state-corporate interests.

How's that going after Iraq, Libya, Corbyn/Starmer, Ukraine, Gaza and now Iran?

Is the picture not clear yet?

TED makes multi-million-dollar investment to boost safe abortion in 10 countries This is the first time TED’s Audacious Project has invested in an organization specifically focused on abortion access and care.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

A government that still believes international law and human rights, are universal.

Global economy must stop pandering to ‘frivolous desires of ultra-rich’, says UN expert Olivier De Schutter says new economic agenda needed to tackle crises of rising inequality and ecological collapse

A composite graphic featuring two elements related to Elisabeth Blackwell and her pioneering botanical work. On the left, a framed black-and-white historical portrait (likely an engraving) of Elisabeth Blackwell (c. 1707–1758), the 18th-century Scottish botanical illustrator. She is shown in three-quarter view facing slightly left, with a calm, composed expression, wearing a period gown with a low neckline and her dark hair styled in elaborate curls and a long curled ponytail draped over her right shoulder. On the right, placed adjacent, is the colorful modern book cover of A Curious Herbal: Elisabeth Blackwell's Pioneering Masterpiece of Botanical Art, edited by Marta McDowell. The cover has a cream background with a delicate central illustration of a flowering plant (likely nasturtium) featuring red-and-yellow blooms, green leaves, and a thin stem with a small red berry or bud. The title appears in elegant serif typography at the top in dark red, with the subtitle "Elisabeth Blackwell's Pioneering Masterpiece of Botanical Art" below in smaller black text, and "Edited by Marta McDowell" at the bottom. The overall design evokes historical botanical illustration while highlighting Blackwell’s influential 1737–1739 work, one of the first herbals created and published by a woman.

Elizabeth Blackwell (1699–c. 1758) was penniless, her husband in a London debtor’s prison.

A talented artist, she created an illustrated guide to medicinal plants entitled 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘭 (published ~1738). It was hailed for its usefulness to doctors & apothecaries. #WorldWildlifeDay #art #botany

Israel/US killed 167 schoolgirls in Iran in an Illegal unprovoked attack.

And never mind being condemned, the Media won't even mention it.

A chilly evening, under a full moon, on Clapham Common remembering Sarah Everard five years after her murder.

Absolute clarity about the urgent need for us all, and especially the police, to root out gender based harm affecting women, girls, non binary and trans people.

Rest in peace Sarah.

People have missed the point.

Find me ONE report in mainstream Media that reports that the USA/Israel killed these schoolgirls.

You can't there isn't a single one, it hasn't been reported ONCE.
