Names and ages of children killed in strike on Iranian school MEE has collected the names and ages of some of those killed in the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school strike

Read the names. Look at the pictures.

Ask what goal is being pursued that might possibly be worth these lives.

And do not lie to yourself that Donald Trump is trying to "liberate" the people of Iran from an evil government.

New Russia sanctions on hold as Hungary blocks EU package ahead of fourth anniversary of Ukraine war – Europe live European foreign policy chief says β€˜there is not going to be progress’ on sanctions package today

@ec.europa.eu

Is it not time to expel Hungary from the EU? As this country no longer supports the principles of the EU Charter?
If this country were applying for membership today, it would not even be considered.

We don’t even have to wait for Election Day to get real results from applying political pressure. Just look at how even Republican Members of Congress defied this president's attempt to hide the Epstein files.

Frustrated doing image research on homelessness.Most of the images are AI generated. Search engines like Bing and Google need to create a filter to exclude AI images.They are a hindrance to research.Reaching a stage where search engines are no longer a useful tool

How many times did Trump say 'I want to kiss you so much' when referring to the factory owner. That's surely meme worthy?

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

The sooner this petition hits 100,000 signatures the sooner we can start becoming more prosperous and more secure. We are clinging to the coattails of Trump right now swinging in all directions; time to look a over the channel rather than over the sea to ICE.

Ghislaine Maxwell has made it abundantly clear that she will continue protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers until she is granted clemency by Donald Trump.

She doesn’t care about the crimes that she has committed and is completely unremorseful.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

β€˜A stain on our history’: outrage after Trump shares racist video about Obamas as White House attempts to brush off the post – live Former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes slams Trump for posting racist video on Truth Social; Karoline Leavitt says criticism is β€˜fake outrage’

Bang on the money:

β€œLet it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.”

Trump is determined to be remembered as a 'great man'.
His curse is that he won't be.

Indigenous Treaty Rights state that Alberta does not own the land outright. Most of it is subject to historical treaties with First Nations. These are agreements with Canada & not the province!
