“We tortured some folks.” -Barack Obama
If Maduro and his wife deserve 20 years each for outlandish, unproven torture claims, how many years does George Bush deserve for this?

Absolutely psychotic: people are digging their families out of rubble with their bare hands and an American charity is installing AI audio recording to make sure nobody sounds too resentful about it.
A U.S. charity in Gaza is worried that teachers at its schools might stray from a curriculum it says promotes peace and tolerance, so it plans to record classroom conversations and use artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed “hateful” or “inciting.” apnews.com/article/gaza-chil…

There’s only one court in the world that can prosecute war criminals: the International Criminal Court There’s only one country in the world that wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court: the United States of America If you fear prosecution, then you are the criminal
Today, the Trump Administration is sanctioning the ICC. This action should encourage our Allies within the Court to work for solutions to end this threat to U.S. sovereignty forever.

Active-duty US Army Special Forces soldiers are also stationed in the Congo. Not exactly sure what they're doing there but no doubt it's something good and noble that all Americans would support if they knew the grisly details and the power players who are benefitting.
JUST IN: Blackwater founder Erik Prince's forces ambushed in Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving 20 people dead or injured, including former UFC fighter and Green Beret Tim Kennedy (wounded), according to Reuters. Vectus Global, headed by Prince, has reportedly been operating in Congo. Congo's government says there was an attack on September 17 that left 20 dead or wounded. Reuters reports that Rwandan forces backing the M23 rebels may have launched a surprise attack after tracking a surveillance drone to their location. At least seven Congolese were killed and a former member of ⁠New Zealand's Special Forces. Kennedy and another foreign contractor were reportedly wounded. The former UFC fighter and Green Beret reportedly suffered three gunshot wounds to the leg. He is currently at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, being treated.

All public gatherings were banned in Athens under NATO vassal Mitsotakis to prevent protests during Marco Rubio’s ahistorical neocon clash of civilizations screed Journalists were detained for hours simply for appearing to cover a banned demonstration against Israel’s genocide
This is the moment today when I and fellow journalist @Alexis_Daloumis were taken into custody by Greek police because we showed up at Freedom Park in central Athens to cover a protest against Israel's genocide in Palestine. The protest did not take place because, in the early morning today, Athens police banned all gatherings in central Athens for the visit of the war criminal Marco Rubio. We were not aware of the ban when we showed up at Freedom Park. Neither were the other four persons who were taken into custody with us (three Greek women and a young Palestinian man who lives in Athens). All of us were taken to the central precinct of the Athens police and held there against our will for several hours. We were charged with no offence. #Greece

Marco Rubio: "We would never violate the sovereignty of any country". Tell that to every single Latin American country, not least Cuba and Venezuela. The hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness is unbelievable.
Marco Rubio: "We would never violate the sovereignty of any country" ** The moral self-righteousness is utterly impervious to reality

So basically we live in a country in which anyone can stop you on the street with no identification or uniform, and you must comply or be shot.

HALF-A-BILLION 🤯 Remember: Police liability payouts come out of the General Fund, NOT the police department's operating budget. This is why other city services like street services, animal services, transportation, youth development, & audits got cut. latimes.com/california/story…

En 1967, un día como hoy, el imperio y sus sirvientes capturaron a nuestro hermano Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara, creyendo que con su asesinato apagarían la revolución; por eso, en el día del Guerrillero Heroico, reafirmamos que su legado de lealtad, dignidad y lucha antiimperialista sigue más vivo que nunca en los pueblos libres de la Patria Grande que defienden su soberanía. ¡Hasta la victoria siempre!

When cruelty is disguised as medical care, like in the camp of Sde Teiman, medicine becomes a tool of torture. Doctors who participate in such acts betray their oath, their profession, and the fundamental principles of medical ethics. They must be held accountable.
🚨The #HindRajabFoundation has filed an Article 15 communication with the ICC calling for an investigation into Israeli officials, medical professionals and the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) over the death, torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman. The submission argues that the conduct documented in the filing amounts to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide under the Rome Statute. ➡️ More → bit.ly/3TqVf7B
