I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

We organised an emergency rally with less than 24 hours notice in Margate tonight. Hundreds and hundreds of people on the beach ready to vote for Rob Yates & the Green Party Thursday from 7am-10pm It's so close between the Green Party & Reform - and we're taking them on!

O erro está na sua pergunta. A concentração industrial está em São Paulo, ok. Mas isso não significa que a riqueza nasce lá. Matéria-prima, minerais, metais, energia e insumos agrícolas vêm do resto do país. Sem isso, não existe indústria, não existe produção, não existe PIB. O mapa mostra onde o valor final é contabilizado. Não mostra de onde ele realmente começa. Confundir isso é não entender como a economia funciona.

Terrifying reality check. A Top US General explicitly admits the ceasefire with Iran is merely a "pause." He confirms the Pentagon is fully prepared to instantly resume their devastating bombing campaign. The Trump administration doesn't want peace, they are just reloading!

Lebanon has been hit with one of the largest waves of Israeli airstrikes since the escalation began. Civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks. Civilians are #NotATarget.

This is what they do: They see they are losing, They beg for a ceasefire and accept Iran's terms for the agreement. Later, they deny the points outlined in it.

@loc12321 @haugejostein And if that democracy had proportional representation rather than winner takes electoral area system then doing so would have merit as support would convert to representation. However the UK, USA and many others labelled as the highest functioning democracies aren’t proportional

@teewee_stephen @haugejostein Holy cope. You can create your own leftist party if you want and advocate for it in a liberal democracy. You can't do that in any other form of government

The Economist's democracy index should be renamed to the "how close can you get to the Western liberal model" index. It's absurd that some people still buy into this nonsense. A state legitimacy index would be far more interesting. The results would be quite different.

Lula
Lula@LulaOficial·
Há uma tentativa de consolidar um esquema de ultradireita nesse país que passa por colocar um fim na democracia. Porque eles começam sonhando em fechar a Suprema Corte. Eles continuam falando que a urna eletrônica permitiu que houvesse fraude, continuam desacreditando em tudo que é instituição que garanta o funcionamento da democracia. Então essa eleição, ela certamente será uma eleição que terá como ponto alto a defesa da democracia.

@Markfry809 @Eyeswideopen69 Whilst one was more polished, that just obscures the similarities in their policies and their waging of international violence to further USA interests at the expense of the Global South

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

@JohannaBaxter thinks the UK govt, a currency issuer, cannot issue sufficient money to pay for public services. Maybe she should read the BoE report on money creation. What I think she doesn’t like is the lack of excuse for failure to act to improve the ordinary person’s lot.
Johanna Baxter MP@JohannaBaxter

Zack may think hypnosis can work miracles but mesmerising the markets is not an economic plan. It’s the same fantasy politics as Liz Truss: policies they can’t afford, paid for with money they don’t have. I’m proud this Labour Gvt is lifting 450,000 children out of poverty.

🇧🇷 SOBERANIA NÃO SE VENDE! O presidente Lula foi direto ao ponto sobre as riquezas do Brasil e detonou Flávio Bolsonaro e sua turma: “Tem brasileiro com complexo de vira-lata indo aos EUA pedir para Trump invadir o nosso país e levar nossas riquezas.”

@Insidiator69 @haugejostein The Green Party is a voice of reason and its surge in the polls reveals many UK citizens can clearly see the destruction caused by neoliberalism, that it is possible to have a decent society that houses, educates, provides labour and supports its people for everyone’s benefit.

Anything to say regarding Israel breaching the ceasefire within hours, continuing with its destruction of civilian infrastructure in Lebanon and its continued illegal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank? The evidence is clear as to which nations are international terrorists.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer

The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran today is welcomed by the UK and our allies. The goal now must be a lasting end to the war. Alongside our international partners, the UK will work to ensure a return to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
