1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Shoppers at the Branson Walmart were stunned after a black bear wandered inside, picked up a can of bear spray, and accidentally sprayed it down an aisle before walking back out through the front doors. Several people were treated for coughing and irritation, and the bear was safely guided away.

So at the far-right thugathon the other week, there were 12 arrests and 25 Police Officers injured. I think we should all spare a thought for the 1000 officers who must have been hurt yesterday at the Palestine rally that warranted 400+ arrests. Get well soon.

@sommecourt.bsky.social These are the buttons and the “lost” soldier mentioned by Nicki in your war detectives episode that I was kindly pointed to.
The Newcastle Tramways buttons that were instrumental in identifying him, Great Uncle Gordon finally be laid to rest, wonderful service/experience. 110 years, to the day, of his death. Lost but now found. #WWI #Loos #History

Four people were arrested for an “unauthorised projection”.

This is apparently what counts as a crime now
