Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

This has been a very long battle for @antaisce.bsky.social in the face of much abuse, misinformation and a wrong decision from the EU to give Ireland another derogation despite worsening pollution. Fair play to them for not giving up! www.irishexaminer.com/farming/arid...

Netanyahu is bombing Lebanon because his political career (and therefore avoidance of prosecution) depends on constant war. How many more people must die for the sake of one man's standing?

Thanks to everyone who joined our pedal-powered counter-protest against Dublin’s fuel blockades. These actions disrupt the very solutions needed to cut fossil fuel dependence and lower costs. For all! More fossil fuel subsidies won’t fix this. We need real change, starting now.

138km in a 50km should be an automatic 10 year ban. End of.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Congratulation to Astronaut Christina Koch to be the first woman in history to get that far away from dangerous sexual predator Donald Trump.

When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

That’s what westernized garbage does. Israel has done the same to 12 Palestinian Universities. Palestine has one of the highest literacy rates in the world - 99.24%.

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.

Let's be clear: Ireland has most fertiliser-wasteful agri-food system in Europe, due to its unbalanced grass-based dairy & beef dependency. In the global food crisis coming FAST now, feeding the world requires fertiliser to go to poorer countries for their crops. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The media has to bleep out curse words coming from the President of the US on Easter Sunday morning. This is ‘Murica, folks. Happy Easter. 🐰

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year. And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone. “All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”

Isn't it time that Europe's leaders came together to try and force disclosure of all those Epstein files!!

BREAKING: An Israel-backed terror group called "the United States of America" has blown up a bridge in Iran

Dr Abu Safiya was kidnapped by Israel from the hospital he worked at in December 2024, he had been beaten, electrocuted, starved and denied medical treatment for over 15 months, he is on the verge of death. But he is still being held without charge in an Israeli torture camp.

It's sickening when history repeats itself this way: “We’re going to bomb them back into the Stone Age,” wrote US Air Force officer Curtis LeMay, in the context of US threats against North Vietnam in LeMay’s 1965 book, Mission with LeMay.

He’s using your tax dollars to golf while using your tax dollars to bomb children.

Trump is the only bull who carrries around his own china shop with him.

🚨 A new joint investigation reveals transcripts and recordings of conversations between Hungary's Péter Szijjártó and several Russian ministers, including Sergey Lavrov, aimed at weakening EU sanctions packages and removing the names of blacklisted oligarchs.

How Green is the British Green Party? Polling shows more Green Party supporters support drilling in the North Sea than oppose it!

“It’s time for the Labour government to stand for truth: Israel is an apartheid state ... conducting a genocide in Gaza. Just like apartheid South Africa, it must be treated as a pariah state until the genocide is stopped, apartheid is ended, and Palestinians are granted the same rights as Israelis”

US-Israeli strikes continue across Iran, with pharmaceutical companies and steel plants in Isfahan and Farokhshar hit.

Where are Epstein files? #pedofiles

Courageous Man ❤️ Journalist : "Do you fear Trump retaliation against Spain?" Pedro Sánchez 🇪🇸: "No, i don't fear anything because i have cleared our position. And i will stand with my words" Pedro Sanchez Only politician in Europe with Spine 🔥

I love when he accidentally tells the truth!

Look at the polite language the media uses for the acts of Isreal, it 'vows', I would say Isreal threatens 'to occupy'- to illegally invade. To'expand buffer zone'. As in a land grab? An illegal annexation, also ethnically cleansing the area.

"Condemns" (not strongly mind you),"particularly concerned", "urges"....there we have it, more empty, very weak, words from our government as apartheid Israel legalises the execution of Palestinian political prisoners. Absent sanctions, absent even the bare minimum Occupied Territories Bill🧵

🇪🇸 Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. military aircraft involved in attacks on Iran, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said Monday. The move expands Spain’s earlier restrictions on U.S. access to jointly operated bases in the country.

So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🧊 🎣

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Witnesses have captured intense US-Israeli attacks on Isfahan, a city in Iran with a population of 2.3 million people, and home to the Badr military airbase. Huge explosions and fires have lit up the night sky.

Says the country’s “largest business lobby group”.

Trump is threatening further and greater war crimes in Iran: "completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants... and possibly all desalinization plants!". This directly contravenes the laws of war. One day he and his enablers must face justice. ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary...

Labour saying Starmer 'keeping Britain out of the war' will be part of their local elections campaign. But it's untrue. There are 27 US B52s at RAF Fairford, launching bombing raids. Starmer has made Britain part of Trump's war. He could have just said no, like Spain's PM.
