This International Women's Day, we stand with the women of Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, & other countries where women: - are denied education and literacy - are forced into marriage as young as 9 yrs old - cannot show their skin/hair/face in public - cannot speak to unrelated men - are deprived of fundamental human rights I'm sickened at the weak international response and silence from 'feminist' groups as women are left with fewer rights than dogs in many middle eastern countries. At least dogs can bark. Sharia law is evil and the Taliban needs to be eradicated.

Botticelli, 1481

Powerful: An uncomfortable moment for UCLA encampment leader Aidan Doyle - who made life a misery for Jewish students there - as he is faced with the truth by brave Moran Stella Yanai, who was kidnapped and held hostage in Gaza.

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation. These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom, suddenly became a place of joy and hope. In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923. In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. Banting famously went on to say, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."

This is Aliza Shagrir. Forty-four years ago, she was murdered in a terror attack in Paris. The man convicted of planning the attack that killed Aliza and three others, Hassan Diab, escaped to Canada. He was just appointed as a professor at .@Carleton_U.

Such a powerful and brave act of defiance in the face of oppression. Iranian authorities must immediately release #AhooDaryaei from detainment. Say her name. #WomanLifeFreedom

Why?

NEW: The owner of Peanut the squirrel explains how New York officials raided his house, took Peanut and his raccoon, and k*lled them. 7-year-old Peanut and Fred the raccoon were euthanized after anonymous complaints. “Officers raided my house as if I was a drug dealer. I was sat outside my house for five hours. I had to get a police escort to my bathroom.” “I wasn't even allowed to feed my rescue horses breakfast or lunch. I was sit, sat there like a criminal after they interrogated my wife to check out her immigration status.” “Then proceeded to ask me if I had cameras in my house. Then proceeded to go through every cabinet, nook and cranny of my house for a squirrel and raccoon.” “They got a search warrant for departments, and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel in a raccoon. And then they took them and k*lled them.” Video: @TMZ

#AhouDaryaei Iranian woman fighting for #WomanLifeFreedom what brave young woman I would be unable of having this courage and you? @EmmanuelMacron what are you going to do to protect her ?

HM the King grabs one of his angry and weeping subjects and pulls him close. Monarchy at its most sublime.

This is way more important than the US election. Stop everything you are doing... In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest. I cried when I saw this. I cried for women who still have to fight for freedom. I cried at her immense bravery. I cried that she has probably lost her life as a result.... x.com/elicalebon/sta…

Why all of a sudden can northern lights be seen all across the clear UK skies? I have lived on this planet and pretty much all across the UK and have never seen them in 66 years?
