I hope Greta keeps talking about her experiences, I hope that other activists imprisoned share their testimonies too.

It is critical to document this abuse, but talking also helps survivors overcome the trauma and can prevent PTSD.

One day we will have hundreds of testimonies of the maltreatment and torture of those in Israel’s prisons and the international community will pretend to be shocked.

Also reminded of when people on here said Israel didn't point blank execute an ambulance crew and then video evidence was obtained by the NYT of them doing exactly that and nobody on here who expressed doubt commented on it. Curious stuff.

Look, this is what Catholicism does so well. Yes girl, BRING OUT THE MONSTRANCE. MAKE THEM SAY IT IN FRONT OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. Martin Luther could *never*. He failed to predict the Trump Presidency and also is directly implecated. I am so serious.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Pubs could stay open longer under Starmer plan to revive British night out

Who will provide extra police, staff, public services?

Nights out restricted due to cost of living crisis

Govt can help hospitality industry by cutting energy/water bills, rents, improving public transport.

I too look forward to the US putting forward an Antipope.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 6d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

Urgent winter clothing appeal for UK baby banks.

In 2024 charity distributed 6,752 coats, 14,163 pairs of shoes, 2,857 blankets, 1,472 items of bedding and 45,220 pairs of socks to families in need.

Low wages/benefits; high energy, water, grocery costs; unchecked profiteering take toll.

London baby banks appeal for urgent donations ahead of winter

Baby banks in London say supplies are running low due to more families facing increased financial pressures.
