Are you watching Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

We're sick of it. Sick of the lies, sick of the greed, and sick of a system rigged against us. This is a scandal and this dirty business must end. For more than 30 years water companies have put corpo...

How can you tell if someone is vegan? 🎨 VeganStreet
A colorful cartoon image titled "How can you tell if someone is vegan? Don't worry, everyone around him will certainly let you know." The image depicts a man in a suit gesturing while surrounded by various speech bubbles containing common anti-vegan comments, including:

- "I tried to be vegan, but lions."
- "Vegans are just so pushy!"
- "I saw this scary article about soy..."
- "Vegans are like fundamentalists."
- "Vegans think they're so much better than everyone else."
- "...the old Indian word for 'bad hunter'."
- "Why don't you vegans focus on things that really matter?"
- "My neighbor's brother-in-law's daughter tried to be vegan, and she almost died."
- "Blah, blah, blah, blah, Hitler, blah, blah, blah."
- "My food poops on your food."
- "I heard that veganism is usually masking an eating disorder."

The image is credited to VeganStreet.com.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

in 2016 a woman sued him for raping her when she was 13. The day after he was elected President of the U.S. she dropped her case. D’ye believe her now? Still think she made it up for attention and money? You know exactly who he is. You’ve always known.
