📹: Ukraine WOW

I'm sorry, but what in the actual blithering fuck?? "We will work to reduce the number of interventions in childbirth"???

We are in a hybrid war with Russia already. Putin is trying to erode our democracy on home soil. Russian interference in UK politics is here. If we do not resist, act and legislate now, how can we ever expect to be rid of Putin’s influence and to live in a legitimate democracy?

This isn’t a war about territory. Russia is already by far the largest country in the world with vast swathes of unpopulated land, but this is a war about autocracy crushing democracy. This is a war we cannot afford to lose.

Today is 1,462 days since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Twelve years since Russia’s invasion of Crimea, which many would say was when the war truly began. Years of Ukrainian endurance and resilience, defending Europe’s frontier.

We paid tribute to the fallen heroes of Ukraine at Maidan.

I am also thinking of their comrades, bravely holding the line in the trenches.

Fighting for peace.

Fighting for a better future for their children.

Fighting for a free and sovereign Ukraine, at the heart of a free Europe.

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Ukraine has come a long way in our fight against evil - Putin’s Russia.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

This day started as the day of remembrance for me.

Remembering those who died during this damned war. My friends and people I knew are among them.

I often think about them and will never forget them.

The faces of murdered and tortured Ukrainians whom I didn't personally know but wrote about

BREAKING: Prime Minister Keir Starmer starts his cabinet meeting by marking the fourth anniversary of the Ukraine War

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

US says it struck vessel in Caribbean, killing three men The U.S. military said on Monday that it struck a vessel in the Caribbean, killing three men, the latest such incident in recent months.

Here is an idea: maybe this is precisely what the Labour party should be saying, not just once obliquely between-the-populist-lines, but forcefully in board daylight?

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

The US President, which does not offer free healthcare to his own people, wants his own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.

Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Once again, a reminder that Jim's reporting of one of the world's great cities is essential. Amazing to me that no newspapers are doing this stuff.

Who's the billionaire behind London’s biggest mass eviction? He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

London’s “worst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

We should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that terrorizes children and forces them to spend their dying days trying to see their father one last time.

Yuliia Keleberda will remain 23 forever. She was killed by a Russian drone that attacked the evacuation unit “White Angels.” Her colleague, Yevhen Kalhan, was killed alongside her. Another police officer sustained injuries.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
