Really fed up having wasted most of the afternoon trying and failing to resolve a @LidlGB complaint. Vouchers didn't work, manager couldn't help, online complaints form just about impossible to use!!!

Genocide apologists are trying to get the BBC to remove the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' from iPlayer. Here are some clips from the film (all the footage was filmed by two Palestinian cameramen in Gaza)


Terrifying.

1) This is the executive order that establishes Trump as dictator. It’s also how Trump is going to get around the court orders and defy them. By forcing federal employees to do it or be fired. So now the president alone interprets law. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s begin⬇️

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

EVERY American should be ashamed by what Trump said today, undermining the Ukrainian people and freedom and democracy around the world. What an American President says matters. And Zelenskyy is not the dictator — Putin is. This is just plain wrong. And Republicans should say so.

I wish everyone would hear this.

We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy. Here are my thoughts:

The Arctic could be ice-free in decades and could pass that grim milestone sooner unless much more is done to combat climate change, which caused sea ice to dwindle and without it an ice-free Arctic would be impossible under any circumstances, expert said scientificamerican.com/article/the-ar…

The Arctic Could Be Functionally Ice-Free in Just a Few Years

The Arctic is likely to become “ice-free” by midcentury—and could pass that grim milestone much sooner—unless much more is done to combat climate change

As storms devastate communities from coast to coast, families have been denied housing assistance because they lack proper documentation to prove ownership or residency. My bill will make it easier for survivors to get disaster assistance.

Renters have much more difficulty getting approved for FEMA assistance after natural disasters than homeowners. Some Senate Democrats want to change that, but the clock is ticking before Republicans take control of Congress on Jan. 3. insideclimatenews.org/news/05122024/…
