I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Coming soon: Labour responds to the failure of its Nigel Farage tribute act by trying even harder to be a Nigel Farage tribute act whilst closing its eyes to the evidence of where that path led the Tories.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

The UK Data (Use and Access) Bill is currently being debated in Parliament and anti-trans campaigners are trying to amend the Bill so it requires public authorities to collect data about 'biological sex' (see below).

🚨 THIS NEEDS TO BE OPPOSED 🚨

Fabien was tortured, not interrogated. Like there is no sex with a child only rape.

He was tortured because he's a gay man with a green card, bc nobody is going to stop torture under the current government of fascist Donald Drumpf.

Barack Obama decided not to prosecute CIA officers for torture.
A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

And “pronoun policing” just means…what? “Respecting a trans person?” all we’re asking for is to be referred to correctly. No police, or even consequences, for not doing so - beyond perhaps a trans person being upset - are ever involved!

It wasn't political campaigns that changed peoples minds on gay marriage- but activists work, media, friends+family and the fact that they were right.

80,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed, 400,000 wounded

12,605 civilian deaths, 29,178 injuries

461 children murdered, 923 wounded.

At the hands of Putin.

And JD Vance wants a "thank you," from Volodymyr Zelenksyy.

Zelenskyy is the only man here.

The others are babies. Donby and Vancby. 🍼🍼 Two babies with a temper tantrum.
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.

The Historical database Suriname & Caribbean conference took place in Curaçao.
Plans made for more intensive archive cooperation within the Kingdom (& with Suriname) for 2025-2028.

Curaçao is a Papiamento & Dutch speaking country in the Kingdom of The Netherlands: an island in the Caribbean.
