Trump has made America into a third-world country.
I really don’t know what would possess any country to tolerate regular school shootings and child deaths merely to pretend to be cowboys.
Those days are long gone.

Trump knows he has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity and now he wants to use American taxpayer money to protect himself from prosecution.

Dragging terminally ill people from their death beds to appear in court to plead their case is objectively cruel.

Should peers cause the #AssistedDyingBill to fail, it would be unimaginably devastating for terminally ill people and their families.

FFS!
What the hell is the #BBC doing?
Last night’s Question Time came from Scotland and guess what? A bloody Reform politician was there!
The Scottish Parliament has 29 ‘others’ seats and ZERO Reform.
Why not give one of the ’others’ ELECTED politicians a place?
This is BBC bias. Shame on you, BBC.

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

How on earth did we get here? www.vashtimedia.com/hunger-strik...
The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical.
How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

'Ukraine hands US revised peace plan proposal, Germany says.
Because his negotiating team has previously worked closely with Moscow Kyiv's European allies fear the US president might eventually seek to impose a Russian-led solution on Ukraine'

Um worked closely with Putin, now, there's a surprise.

It takes a company like Citroen to actually develop a modern six seater. This would be a great EV.
Most manufacturers just make EV clones of the ICE cars they already make.
Batteries and electric motors lend themselves to minimum powertrain space. Why don’t car makers go with it?
Citroen just reinvented the supermini with this tiny six-seater, and you can sleep in it! | Autocar
New 4.1m-long ELO concept is a versatile and bold vision of the firm’s intent

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

This will continue until the State Police do their job and make arrests for illegal detention, assault and kidnapping.
#GVerse #FuckICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
