Surely someone working in Israeli intelligence could leak the Epstein Files. There must be someone with a conscious there.

England's dream of becoming a nuclear power has rusted and now produces only toxic waste. And yet Keir Starmer threatens Russia, China, Mars... His imperial madness is worthy of a Blefuscu comedy performed by amateur actors in Lilliput.

Though tiny, pathogens could become Israel's deadliest weapon in Gaza After surviving nearly two years of genocide, Palestinians forced into a guarded zone on Rafah's rubble could face infectious disease likely to kill more people than the bombs

If this is true then almost all of Germany acknowledges an evil event occurring but collectively stays passive and silent about it...

Maybe that is what "Erinnerungskultur" really is

Egypt could have done much more in retaliation against Israel and helping the Palestinians. Instead they charged enormous fees to Palestinians trying to escape genocide, closed the border and watched Israel destroy Gaza. And even now their puppet leaders greedy for western money do nothing.

The UK's State Pension is the lowest in Europe with one of the highest starting ages.

If it is unaffordable, why can all the other countries afford much better ones?

Hint - The problem isn't the pension cost.

98% of US lawmakers receive campaign donations from the arms industry, with dozens having investments in weapons companies. Hind Hassan asked senators Tim Kaine and Susan Collins about that apparent conflict of interest.

β€˜Gross betrayal’: Indya Moore breaks silence on Hollywood's double standards on Gaza | Real Talk β€œI haven’t worked in a very long time.” What are the repercussions of speaking out for Gaza in Hollywood? In this Real Talk interview, US model and actor Indya Moore opens up about the cost of speaking out for Gaza, describing the β€œdevastating” fallout with her former agents at CAA over her use of the word β€œgenocide” and for her support for Palestine. Indya, who in 2019 was named as one of Time’s 100 most influential people, is now highlighting the hypocrisy in how Gaza advocacy is punished and reveals that she herself has lost job opportunities in the entertainment industry because of it. We also talk about her upcoming satirical documentary β€˜Stealing Sunset’, which confronts illegal Israeli settlements, and the emotional contradictions of filming in the occupied West Bank.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

The failure of Britain lies with the British people. When folk are so disengaged from politics you end up with the worst folk in charge. Apathy breeds fascism because the loud voices of the far right are heard over the whispers of the left or middle leaning voters.
