It’s time for those involved to be brought to justice for the CIA and FBI’s torture programs, instituted by the Bush-Cheney administration and not prosecuted by the Obama administration. We mustn’t forget the horrors of the illegal and amoral Iraq war—the moral injury it has…

Gross 🤮

New Zealand thinks its so clean and green, and then literally weakens regulations at the behest of big business, and look at the result: disaster.

This video of Canada’s Women’s Rugby team trying Kiwi food while in New Zealand for the World Cup is amazing
