"None of the 72 vaccines given to children have been tested against placebo "
The reality :
- No child is given 72 vaccines
- The ones they are given have been tested against placebo
Just endless nonsense from your HHS Secretary.

📣 DELIVERED! Thousands signed my petition for a windfall tax on bank super-profits. I’ve now presented it in Parliament.
Banks are making billions extra from the same higher interest rates driving up your mortgages and rents.
Let’s tax those profits and bail out the people!

I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’

"Whether it's the former president heckling Trump or the people at his rallies, you can see it's hitting a nerve."
At Trump's latest rally, one heckler shouted: "𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘶𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘵 𝘢*𝘴."
Is Trump losing his own base?

It pains me to watch society get less and less empathetic towards each other. This toxic hyper individualism is threatening our survival. "I don't need to worry about anyone." Actually, living in a society means your actions affect those around you. We all need to care.

Type 1 diabetes: The immune system attacks insulin-producing cells.
People: Ahh yes, makes sense. Understood.
ME/CFS / long covid: Immune dysfunction and impaired cellular energy production.
People: Ahh no, sounds psychological. Probably anxiety. Have you tried exercising and thinking positively?
The selective understanding is fascinating.

Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.
For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.
The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.
Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

After a neck-and-neck race where the future of the Amazon was at stake, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won a historic reelection victory on Sunday. Hedefeatied Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced former President Jair Bolsonaro, and earned a record fourth term.
His stunning victory deals a massive blow to Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine” of US dominance in Latin America and throws cold water on the MAGA world’s hope that Brazil would become the latest nation in the region to elect a right-wing president.
Lula won 51.79 percent of the vote in a runoff that saw millions more voters turn out compared to the first round. The Worker’s Party leader made a historic comeback, becoming the first Brazilian candidate to win the election after finishing second in the opening round.
Borrowing from his father’s– and Trump’s– playbook, Flávio Bolsonaro refused to accept the results, pointing to a Supreme Court decision to keep the polls open for an extra two hours. Some of his US and Brazilian far-right allies also raised claims of a “stolen election.” On Monday, Trump added to the chorus by saying, without evidence, that the elections looked “rigged.”

56 individuals in the UK have as much wealth as the poorest 27 million (Oxfam), but they appear - for some reason - to be immune from government efforts to raise more cash
