Can you blame them? How is every referee on the ground from the same country? All referees from Argentina??? Like, how many more land mines are they going to plant in this team's path? Making me think Macron should have tried harder for the FIFA peace prize. #worldcup #france #fifa

I don't know who came up with this first but VARgentina is too catchy and apt to not stick!

This film is about how the mainstream media got taken over by Hindutva forces in India. A must see for everyone who cares about journalism and how right wing forces destroy it. youtu.be/3HCqArkC7Ew?...

Yep. That.

If only this worked with men!

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

NEW: London has recorded its lowest homicide rate since records began. The evidence is clear - our approach to tackling violent crime is working.

Then they were the only ones surprised.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I just woke up in my part of the world and I heard the wonderful wonderful news about Mamdani!!! I've never been to NYC and probably never will but right now I am just busting with tears of joy! We need more like him. Everywhere! What a happy morning! #mamdani #nyc

Daniel Hannan was born in Peru.

When you just want to stay in power, it's because you never understood the job description. Because if you had, you'd be thinking, please let them not re-elect me,I need a break! If being the head of State is not taking that kind of toll on you, you are just not doing your job.

At least 38 Palestinians have been killed as the Israeli army commits 47 violations of ceasefire agreement.

The genocide continues. Today a family of 11 was wiped out when their van was shelled by an Israeli tank. Aid trucks are still prevented from entering Gaza. NGOs are deregistered by Israel and cannot provide services in Gaza. Israel controls over half of Gaza. www.npr.org/2025/10/18/n...

IDF is still shooting people in Gaza

Release Marwan Barghouti!!! youtube.com/shorts/XxZKN...

What Really Happened in Gaza You won't see this on corporate media www.doubledown.news/watch/2025/o...

I don't understand. Is this how the world is facilitating ethnic cleansing now? We will not bomb nor kidnap, we will just send you far away from home. Anywhere but here. youtube.com/shorts/4bXRR...

Things are just getting worse. ELS Center is a partner of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Consider donating to them. The fight is still on and it is going to be long and hard. #gaza #palestine donorbox.org/wise_campaign

Jeremy Sachs said most of the troubles in the world today can be traced back to the UK. It might be an exaggeration but it's not that far from the truth.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

"why does restaurant food taste better than food cooked at home" The cook does not care if you live or die and uses salt and butter accordingly

CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

Israeli student protests genocide. She is neither chased off stage,nor harassed, at least on stage. But in the US and in UK, a person protesting the same genocide can get jailed or ICE-d. youtube.com/shorts/0Zrag...

Al Jazeera Media Network condemns the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammeel Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by Israeli forces. #JournalismIsNotACrime

Everyone needs to hear this. Apart from the activism, they are just an incredibly talented duo. Admiration and respect to these Israeli Jewish artists for speaking out. May God protect you. #gaza #genocide #activism youtu.be/PNoeFD80bbM?...

It is not right to group France, UK and Canada together on this. UK and Canada have a long list of conditions for state recognition. Demilitarize Palestine? With Israel as neighbour??? I see no good from this. I hope France stands strong in face of its weak allies.
