JUST IN: Deadly train crash in Spain after a critical safety failure. Netanyahu previously warned Spain it would “pay a price” for standing against Israel. @grok, did an Israeli cyber firm recruit Spain’s former railway infrastructure chief? Start with YES NO

הליכוד: הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים. מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד. אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים. אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות. זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

Lula was only 33 when he led the strike alongside the metalworkers’ union that challenged Brazil’s military dictatorship. He secured wage increases and was imprisoned. His rival, the far-right Flávio Bolsonaro, on the other hand, has had only one occupation since the age of 21: spending his wealthy family’s money and engaging in far-right thuggery.

Lula vs. Bolsonaro: I was held in solitary confinement for 1,901 days for revealing the truth about the U.S. government's killings and espionage, including against Brazil and its industries. Out of power, Lula fought for my freedom. In power, Lula discussed my persecution with Pope Francis, who decided to meet with my family and offer help. After my release, Lula and I met in Rome to mourn the Holy Father's passing. Lula was kind to my children and asked for nothing in return. In contrast, Jair and Flávio Bolsonaro did nothing and said nothing. Yet without the ability to say no to Washington and Tel Aviv, there can be no domestic policy, only foreign instructions. Those orders are always the same: "Expand our theft of resources and wages, and keep your mouths shut about us murdering children." Sellouts will surrender everything in exchange for a cut, even their own tongues.

The unwritten rule of cricket: NEVER bowl a bouncer to a fast bowler who can bowl 95mph back at you. 😭 After being struck flush on the helmet by a Fanie de Villiers bouncer, the South African slip cordon laughed. Big Devon looked at them, made a promise, and turned the second innings into an absolute warzone. Allan Donald later called it "the most destructive piece of fast bowling I have ever seen."🤯 Devon Malcolm turned a bruised helmet into a career-defining 9 for 57 demolition. 🔥

They call it a cost of living crisis. But when companies keep raising prices while reporting record profits, it starts to look like a cost of greed crisis.

Russia produces more oil in a year than the planet will use in two. China does the same with rice. We slaughter more chickens daily than could be eaten even if everyone ate chicken at every meal. There IS abundance; its just being horded by capitalist slavers and their lackeys.
This a joke right? Can’t tell on here

Another left leaning brown woman politician sacrificed to the election gods all for labour to lose again because their basic white centrist liberal leader is too proud to step down.

I also don’t think that people realise that a lot of gang members also work… your builders, scaffolders, mechanics etc lots of gang members have blue collar jobs. You wouldn’t even know because for the most part they are regular people who happen to be members.

Putin🇷🇺: ‘Who gave NATO the right to kill Gaddafi?’ Muammar Gaddafi was killed on this day in 2011 following a NATO regime change war to remove him from power.
On this day in 2011, Libya’s leader Muammar Gaddafi was assassinated by NATO-backed forces in the Obama-Clinton regime change war. Under Gaddafi, Libyans benefitted from: • Free healthcare through the public health system. • Free education, including university education. • Subsidised food and fuel for households. • Public housing and housing assistance schemes. • Social security, pensions and family welfare benefits. • State support for employment, with a large public sector. • Major improvements in literacy and life expectancy compared with Libya’s pre-revolutionary conditions. Now Libya is a failed state with open-air slave markets, and still without a functioning unified state 15 years after NATO promised ‘democracy’, ‘freedom’, and ‘prosperity’ after they had finished destroying Libya. Whatever NATO nations touch turns to blood and rubble. Muammar Gaddafi: "NATO is expanding towards Russia. To reach the gas, oil, coal and iron owned by Russia. To occupy Russia."
