RIP USA. The Taco can't deal with other world leaders. He only feels safe with tyrants and wannabees who bribe him with gifts. America used to lead in times of crisis. Now it's not even at the table. The long-term effect of this on America's hard and soft power will be devastating. #NoKings

World’s largest banks pledged $869bn to fossil fuel firms in 2024. Planet sizzles whilst banks, their shareholders and execs count profits, dividends and fat paychecks. Yet their websites talk about corporate social responsibility. There is no planet B.

One of the best tests of the robustness of a democracy is how it deals with protest. The harsher the laws and the harsher the policing, the weaker the democracy.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

Honestly, this is so witty, amusing, and confident in the face of injustice and hostile takeover. Instead of attending the farce trial, third democratic forces leader now jailed, Nika Gvaramia, arrived with his bag at the prison entrance before his verdict was even announced.

This is incredibly problematic because it’s the first step towards also going after protest medics and jail support teams. Giving people masks when cops are launching tear gas every night is not a crime, it’s common sense protection.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?
