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. ⬇️

We are in a tent, there is nothing to eat, and the cold has seeped into our bones.
The children are hungry, and there’s nothing I can do...
But God is great.

I’m from Gaza, and my baby Riyad is in the incubator — he needs urgent treatment.
My situation is very difficult, and I can’t afford his medical care.
I kindly ask for help from kind-hearted people…
Riyad deserves to live. 🙏💙

Great letter in today's Irish Independent. Almost a year after promising to enact the Occupied Territories Bill in the election, our government has yet to do it. We've been waiting for 7 years. #OccupiedTerritoriesBill

"Are Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael serious about passing this bill? Where is it?"

Personally I've boycotted IsraHelli and US products since the -80s . Didn't have an app for it back then either.
Shopping takes a while longer in the beginning. But soon checking "country of origin" etc etc becomes second nature.

When Catherine Connolly expresses concern about the military-industrial complex pushing for more armament as an economic stimulus, she is not being “far left”. She is describing reality as it exists - here’s the cover of the Economist this week.

Remember - the Irish government was told years ago when the total was still well under 10,000 how to eradicate homelessness by the man who did so in Finland, and it just ... didn't bother.
And since then, the majority of you kept voting for them.
Well done, everyone. Well done. 👍
The number of people in emergency accommodation increased last month to 16,614.
