You know that photo Trump waved in front of Ramaphosa and the world press asserting it showed genocide of white farmers in South Africa. #Fake

In fact it was a depiction of femicide in the DRC with Red Cross workers carrying the body bags of women who’d been raped and burned alive there
Trump spent much of his meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa rambling about disproven claims and conspiracy theories.

Ramaphosa was not interested in indulging Trump’s delusions about his country.

President Donald Trump claimed white South Africans were being systematically murdered during a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I want more onshore wind farms all over the UK, I’ve campaigned for them my whole life. I would even like a wind turbine in our garden but planning wouldn’t allow it! Peat is a natural carbon store making it a really silly place to put turbines.
Peat is a natural carbon store and a water store, it prevents flooding when well managed and not drained or dried - please sign this petition for a response from the Government who said in their manifesto they would protect peat petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Ban wind farms on protected peat land in England
In its recent consultation on new onshore wind planning regulations, the government asked if some habitats, such as those containing peat soils, need extra protection from renewable energy development...

UK need to rejoin the EU. Brexit was always a con spun by media barons to support tax evasion for the rich. That cult needs to die. No more fucking around.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.
Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.

A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

It winds me up seeing Rooney talk such sense about the game at a high level, yet there's no use of that knowledge at Utd. We hand the reigns to ex players that wouldn't get a sniff at a top club. Doesn't make sense to me.

All of this was why a previous CSA, Sir David King, decided to set up Independent SAGE - to provide open, honest, transparent communication between scientists and the public during this public health crisis 7/8

“At key decision moments in the early phase of the Covid emergency, the UK government chose to rely on the advice of informally assembled experts with positions in the tech industry and long-standing ties to the Conservative party, instead of the official scientific advice prepared by SAGE.” 6/8

The government tried to keep the membership of - and the advice being offered by - its scientific advisory group secret. They essentially told the public they were “following the science” while ensuring the public couldn’t check up on this claim. 4/8

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

Awkward for the Tories who have recently been so energized by grooming gangs

Then-safeguarding minister Victoria Atkins - now a member of Kemi Badenoch's shadow cabinet - said the case for a mandatory reporting duty had "not been made."
