British doctor charging cancer patients thousands of pounds to cure them from cancer with garlic injections has lost his licence Good Same should happen to those quacks charging desperate people to treat their cancer with worm pills

I don't want his face on my passport. I don't want his face anywhere,not even on his head. Possible exception being urinal cakes in every public restroom.

1969: A Vietnam War protestor who opposed the draft said: “If they ever make me carry a rifle, the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J.” He was charged with threatening the President. The Supreme Court tossed the case, declaring, “political hyperbole” is free speech.

THE JOURNALIST WHO BROKE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA WAS THANKED WITH A £1 MILLION LEGAL BILL Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla exposed one of the biggest political scandals in modern British history. Cambridge Analytica. Brexit dark money. Possible Russian influence in UK democracy. The kind of journalism that wins Pulitzer nominations and keeps people in power very nervous. So what happened next? Arron Banks the man who made the biggest single political donation in UK history at around £9 million to Brexit campaigns, sued her personally. Not The Observer, which published her work for years. Not TED, which hosted her talk. Her. Individually. A freelance journalist. The suit was over one sentence in a 2019 TED Talk and a single tweet, in which she said Banks had lied about a secret relationship with the Russian government. Banks denied it. He had, however, admitted meeting Russian embassy officials multiple times more than he originally told a Parliamentary committee. The Guardian, her own publisher, declined to fund her defence. She crowdfunded her legal costs from 29,000 members of the public. She faced potential costs of up to £1 million. She eventually won on the main issues in the High Court in 2022, but lost on appeal on one narrow point. She was ordered to pay Banks £35,000 in damages, issue an apology, and delete certain tweets. She was also hit with a costs order of over £1 million. The woman who exposed how democracy gets bought had to beg the public for money to stay solvent while doing it. Seventeen press freedom organisations called the case an attempt to intimidate and silence public interest journalism. The UK government eventually introduced anti-SLAPP legislation. Partly because of what happened to her. In the UK, you can crowdfund a journalist's survival costs after she exposes the possible corruption of a referendum. Or you can fund the laws that protect journalists before they get financially destroyed. We chose the first option. Sources: The Guardian/Observer/Press Gazette and others.

ICYMI: yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the conviction of one of Jon Husted’s top allies in the FirstEnergy corruption scheme -- the largest bribery scandal in Ohio history. This scandal isn't going anywhere and Husted is right in the center of it. apnews.com/article/ohio-s…

@FLOTUS Here are 100’s and 100’s of your husband’s Twitter insults and hate, just from his first term. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Just so everyone is clear on what's going on: Jared Kushner is serving as a "volunteer" special envoy in order to try to get around government ethics rules, while he solicits billions from Middle Eastern governments and he and Ivanka Trump develop foreign real estate projects.

Last week, Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump fired the Secretary of the Navy. Today, Kid Rock is briefing Pentagon officials on the Strait of Hormuz. Our leaders in Washington are treating the U.S. military like a reality tv show. What the hell are we doing America?

A school caretaker in a small Croatian village was fishing in 1993 when he found a white stork on the riverbank, shot through the wing. She would never fly again. He took her home, named her Malena, and built her a nest on the roof of his house. He has cared for her every day since. Eight years later, a wild male stork landed on the roof and started courting her. The caretaker, Stjepan Vokić, named him Klepetan. Every autumn, Klepetan flew 13,000 kilometres south to winter in Africa. Malena could not follow. Every spring, he came back to her. He did this for twenty years in a row, and together they raised 66 chicks in that same nest. When Malena passed in 2021, Stjepan buried her under an apple tree in his garden. Klepetan is now 36 years old. He still flies in from Africa every spring, and the first thing he does when he lands is visit her grave. Tell me you have heard a more loyal love story than that.

Well @AmericanAir you have just done something that is completely unacceptable. I paid for a 1st class seat and you just moved me to a center seat in row 13 because you downsized your plane. Thanks for your terrible customer service!!!

Ronald Reagan was shot at the Washington Hilton, he returned to the same hotel seven more times for various events. He didn't need a new ballroom. Thanks for the history lesson Lawrence O'Donnell.

This is horrifying and barely getting media coverage. Trump set April 30 as a deadline for the Zambian Govt. They must either accept Trump's new health funding agreement to have access to critical AIDS meds—and thus give the USA expanded access to its precious mineral resources like copper, lithium, and cobalt—or let its citizens die due to lack of vital AIDS medications. Zambia is 98% Christian. Christians will die as a result of Trump's extortion. Notice how MAGA is wholly silent? Barbaric.

A rabbi was at my son’s high school today handing out flyers telling kids to ‘Pray for the IDF.’ A rabbi. At a public school. Telling kids to pray for an army that’s committing genocide and ethnic cleansing. And no one batted an eye.

🚨 West Ham chairman David Sullivan's anonymity order has been vacated. That means he can be named as the Premier League Club owner under investigation for rape, child sexual exploitation and sexual assault

This is a dangerous lie The HPV vaccine is in fact so effective at preventing cervical cancer that it is on course to eliminate..yes ELIMINATE..cervical cancer in countries from Sweden to Australia to Scotland

Nigel Farage says that a vote for Reform on May 7 is a vote to kick Starmer out. But today, when there was a vote that has the potential to kick Starmer out, he abstained. All talk, no action.

Happy 100th birthday Harper Lee! Alabama storyteller Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. Like so many, I learned early from To Kill a Mockingbird that real courage means doing what's right, even when it's hard.  I often quote this line from Atticus Finch, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." What a better world we would live in if we all sought to understand people who are different from us like Atticus did. Atticus Finch showed us what integrity looks like, a lesson I've carried with me my whole life.  On this Harper Lee Centennial Day, I'm so grateful for her voice and her legacy.

1. Peter Thiel is pouring millions into a dystopian new start-up that seeks to discredit journalists reporting on wealthy people with a combination of retired intelligence operatives and a "jury" of AI models The company is even trying to pressure reporters to turn over the IDs of anonymous sources

ctvnews.ca/kitchener/arti… Neurologist accused of 48 counts of sexual assaults against 48 of his female patients has been acquitted recently by a male judge. 48! In doing so, the judge dismissed the expert testimony of a female doctor and expert on whether vaginal and breast exams were part of the norm during neurological exams (They are not) We are still a long way from addressing sexism and gender bias in the court systems. This all will serve to further undermine reporting. Victims legitimately ask "what is the point"
