Let's celebrate the #Ludi Capitolini (Capitoline Games)! 🎉
For 16 days, #Romans gathered for athletic competitions, #chariot races, and festivities that invoked the gods' favour for the prosperity of the state. It was a time of unity, faith, and excitement across the city!

You cannot unsee what they've cheered on, given cover and funding for. Set the apparatus of the state onto UK citizens for opposing the genocide because feelings were hurt from their favourite little murder-rape, white supremacist Disneyland supporters.

Labour MPs reckon that if the ceasefire holds it will be harder for opponents to mobilize against them over the Israel-Palestine issue in the next election. There are concerns though about whether the fragile agreement will hold. More in London Playbook PM.

Time to put our foot down and put an end to the Chinese cooking oil
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump • 36m I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China.
