The French ppl commenting that if we weren’t French territories, we would be over taken by China. I don’t see the problem with China at the moment ? But I see a colonial, violent, racist France and settlers China seems better than that

What kind of monsters have we become? Justifying the killing of children as "human shields" is the ultimate justification of Israel's genocidal logic and the endorsement of its "humanitarian camouflage", with civilians -even babies in incubators- becoming abstractions between the

My personal reward for voting Biden in 2020, and paying my 2023 taxes, is that I will have 2000 pound bombs dropped on refugee camps on my conscience for the rest of my life.

CNN has the video of women and children burned alive in Rafah. Israel called it a "tragic mistake,' because it's on video. What do you think the other bombs did? They all burn people alive. Israel has now slaughtered tens of thousands of women and children. And we paid for it!

France has done this to Tahitian/Ma'ohi activists and independence leaders before, detaining them in France or other countries Also, as someone else pointed out, activists in Algeria were sent to Kanaky previously

“The principles created by Act do not mention Māori. Whatever one thinks of the substance of those principles, they cannot derive from a treaty which is only about rights granted by, or guaranteed to, Māori.” — Dr Carwyn Jones e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-an…

One important aspect of the rule of law is that the law needs to be knowable in advance. Which is why the Minister of Justice is letting ram-raiding youths know about it through LinkedIn.

Young people & people of color want desperately to vote for Trump’s Democratic opponent but won’t commit to someone funding the slaughter innocent Palestinians. To win, our Democratic nominee must support funding for healthcare, housing & education not Netanyahu’s genocide.
