And now, in 2024, while still in the middle of a nursing shortage this reactionary destructive government stops employing nurses, leaving many graduates unemployed. Unbelievable.

The US has increased its coal burning. China has reduced its coal burning. Facts matter.

former senior CIA agent John Stockwell: "We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, rapists. We ran fake photographs that made every paper in the country. It was pure raw false propaganda to create the illusion of Communists eating babies for breakfast." Sound familiar?

INTERVIEW: There are two crazy individuals here, Trump and Netanyahu They're both nuts, they're both pathological liars, says Prof Jeffrey Sachs. Psychopaths who kill and create harm without remorse. Everything points to a resumption of fighting because 'we do not have rational leadership or a rational process' Follow #MOATS 548 #ProfJeffreySachs #GeorgeGalloway #Trump #Netanyahu #Iran

Even China makes better school lunches than New Zealand. You know, that communist shit hole that white wing turds hold up as an example of everything that's bad in the world.

You cannot negotiate with this type of evil Like Nazism, it has to be defeated

I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this. My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on. This is what she said 🧵 1/

Bombshell: Leaked audio recordings prove Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei is conspiring with the drug lord Juan Orlando Hernández -- the drug-trafficking former dictator of Honduras, whom Trump freed from prison. In a recording between Milei and the drug lord, Hernández proposed creating a right-wing fake news operation, with the support of the US government, in order to spread propaganda online to "eliminate the left" in Latin America, targeting Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and the left-wing opposition in Honduras. The self-declared "anarcho-capitalist" Milei offered to contribute $350,000 USD of Argentine government money to help fund this disinformation operation, while millions of Argentines are suffering in poverty, and they have to eat donkey meat, because they can't afford local beef.

@HelenClarkNZ @josiepagani True.

“No imminent attack coming from #Iran, so no recall to “self-defence” under international law. No attempt to build a coalition with other countries. Negotiations were ongoing when Trump decided to wage war of choice.” @josiepagani on case against Iran war. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360996…

Iran has not agreed to next round of talks with US, citing 'excessive demands' —— Iran has not yet agreed to a new round of negotiations with the US, according to Tasnim News Agency. This decision comes in response to US President Donald Trump’s statement about imposing a naval blockade on Iran, as well as what Iran views as excessive demands from the US side, demands that have continued in recent exchanges. Iran has stressed that avoiding such demands is a key condition for continuing talks; otherwise, it will not engage in time-wasting, prolonged, and unproductive negotiations. The message has reportedly been conveyed to US officials through a Pakistani intermediary.

⚠️ Due to United States failure to adhere to the terms of ceasefire, the Strait of Hormuz is, once again, back to its previous state. The strait will be under high restriction of navigation. — Speaker of Khatam al-Anbiya HQ

A bit of chaos in Hormuz this morning as nearly all of the outbound tankers have abruptly turned around. Follows an announcement by Iranian military leadership that the Strait has "reverted to its previous state of strict military control."

Cuba is ninety miles from Florida. It has been under American embargo for over sixty years. The people who designed that embargo, who maintained it through 13 consecutive administrations, who tightened it every time Cuba showed signs of building a functional public health system, are not considered to be engaged in economic warfare against a civilian population. They are considered to be defending "democracy." The Cuban doctors who went to Africa to fight Ebola. The Cuban literacy programs. The Cuban medical system that, despite the embargo, produces health outcomes that embarrass the richest country on earth. None of that appears in the American curriculum. Because the curriculum is not designed to give you information. It is designed to give you a framework. The framework says: Cuba is a dictatorship. America promotes freedom. The embargo is a consequence of Cuban choices. The framework does not say: the embargo was designed, from the beginning, to make the Cuban population miserable enough to overthrow their government, as documented in declassified State Department memos from the Kennedy era. The framework never gives you the memos. The framework gives you the conclusion. Sixty-four years of civilian suffering. Sixty-four years of medicine shortages and economic strangulation. And in the American schools: Cuba is a cautionary tale about socialism. The operation never ends.

Sky News confirms a brilliant strategic move by Iran. By opening the Strait of Hormuz only during the ceasefire, Tehran has completely trapped the Trump administration. Washington is now under massive global pressure to abandon their disastrous military campaign.

Dr. Marandi says there is a significant chance that Trump is making all this up. Trump is, right now, making up stories about what Iran allegedly agreed to in negotiations. He's inventing commitments that Iran never made. He's fabricating a narrative. Then, in a few days, he will announce that Iran has "broken" those non-existent commitments. He will claim that Iran promised A, B, C, D, E, and F, and then refused to follow through. And then, on the basis of those fabricated violations, he will launch a new military assault on Iran

A warm occasion celebrating a relationship that has developed beyond even the most optimistic early expectations to serve well the interests of both countries and peoples. Strong fellow professional regard expressed for the impressive leadership that Ambassador Wang has provided to advancing the relationship.

There is something particularly enfeebled about Trump repeatedly calling enriched Uranium "nuclear dust." To be charitable, this is a toddler-level description at best. Either he has no clue as to what enriched Uranium actually is or he is fixated on a child-level phrase. Sad!

A charter school gets $45,000 a year per student. A state school gets $9,000. when they start claiming great results from the charter schools ask: what could a state school deliver if you increased its funding 400%?
