It was the second consecutive year in which killings of members of the press reached unprecedented levels, and the second year running in which Israel was responsible for roughly two-thirds of the total, the New York-based independent organisation, which documents attacks on journalists worldwide, said in its annual report published on Wednesday.

Ah yes. We’ve been expecting you. The latest kick in the nuts for all the racist & racist-adjacent ‘mainstream’ UK journalists who mocked the notion that Trump’s administration was far-right & fascistic. Don’t expect any apologies, though. It’s Brexit 2.0.

Obscene profiteering..
Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020.
Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains.
It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

It's a scary future in this thread. How possible is it that the US as an ally of the 'West' switches its allegiances to Putin? Would the Republican party allow their president to side with Russia against Europe in WWIII? At what point does the American political system consider removing Trump.

Does Trump want to strip America of its Republic status and turn it into a Monarchy?
