Anger and vitriol took center stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, as Donald Trump and a cabal of campaign surrogates held a rally marked by racist comments, coarse insults, and dangerous threats about immigrants.

 

In a post he tried to publish on X after the attack, Parslow said he had “done his duty to England” and had “exterminated the harmful, invasive species”. He tried to tag Tommy Robinson in the post, as well as prominent politicians such as Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman.

 

Two police officers died in a shootout with alleged criminals Thursday in the violence-plagued southern state of Guerrero, the government said.

Security forces killed 17 members of a criminal group that later attacked the military in the same area, Public Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch told a news conference, three more than previously reported.

Really hope the parents see jail time for this. The AI didn’t put a gun in their house.

 

China’s military actions are a form of shock and awe. They are designed to unleash fear among the Taiwanese population and bully the island’s international supporters into inaction. China’s lawfare is a silent killer, attempting to slowly strangle Taiwan’s ability to function as an autonomous, self-governing entity. If the world’s democracies do not act to relieve the pressure on Taipei, it will soon be too late.

 

Zakharova warned the Republic of Korea "of the consequences for South Korea's security that could result from the Republic of Korea's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, if such decisions are made".

 

A group of Russian troops whose brigade has been accused of war crimes has been destroyed by Ukrainian forces, it has been reported, prompting family members of the casualties to express their distress and anger on social media.

 

The report — prepared by a country that contributes troops, and seen by the Financial Times — underscores how Israeli troops have targeted Unifil, the UN-mandated force deployed along the de facto border between the countries, on multiple occasions. They have damaged several facilities and caused injuries to troops stationed at border posts in southern Lebanon.

What does the UN do in a situation like this?

They obvs can’t fight back, the US will veto anything so they can’t go the diplomatic route, what’s the option? Can they expel Israel from the UN?

 

The “glow” of the industry has worn off, he says. It had once made him “feel fancy”. Now, he is just a “finance rat”, as he and his peers are mockingly called online.

China’s once-thriving economy, which encouraged aspiration, is now sluggish.

“Oooh what thoughtful discussion has taken place on this interesting news article”

“Oh it’s the bot”


That bot is the main reason I’m mostly getting my news from [email protected] instead now.
