Our neighbour’s dacshshund was the same. She somehow always knew that her owner was 4-5 minutes away and start crying. Didn’t matter what time it was. It was uncanny.
This is not journalism - this is advertising.
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.
Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

When I raised questions about the Canadian gov’s actual commitment to climate action early on I got:
Read the Liberal party platform!
Read Carney’s book!
Yeah, well then where’s the policy? Where’s the action? Because I’m with @shastingssimon.bsky.social here. I’m not seeing it.
An undercover investigation just exposed how Israel is helping British citizens move to illegal settlements in the West Bank
A Jewish anti-Zionist activist,arranged a call with Shivat Zion, an NGO that boasts of being recognized by the Jewish Agency and partnering with Israeli government ministries
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

“Google has created a misinformation crisis. Studies have shown that people tend to trust what an AI tells them without question, with one report finding that only 8% of users actually double checked an AI’s answer.”🧪
We didn't deserve this day.
They just hope it is something that others will do for them.

This is helpful.
Some ppl see all environments as needing a hierarchical order. So they buy large loud vehicles and drive aggressively to establish their desired dominance. For fear THEY will be dominated if they don’t.
Making others vulnerable and at their mercy is the whole point.
Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon.
They were wearing blue helmets.
They were in UN uniforms.
They were peacekeepers.
Israel bombed them anyway.
Not a peep in Western media.
Not a word from the international community.
Kick Israel out of the UN.
ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months.
Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.
Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.
Placed in solitary.
Denied medical accommodations.
They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!
Those are the words of a "potential" war criminal (pushed and encouraged by his "potentially" war criminal president)
I know this will be a hard watch, but we all should. This part of history for decades has been so distorted, thru glossy Hollywood lens and Western political narrative.
