Let's get every MP behind this amendment and make sure primary school children across England reap those rewards too. 💪🥦show more

A lifelong learner and a student of many passions... yesterday I received my 2ND advanced degree - a Doctorate in Health Policy from George Washington University School of Nursing. I am grateful to Allahu SWA for the life opportunities I’ve enjoyed along with purposeful and needed challenges along the way. To many on this app, I am known for my no BS politics, and to my patients it’s Dr. ALI. My passion has been providing exceptional care for my patients and communities for nearly two decades. I came back to Somalia in 2016/17 to focus on primary healthcare BUT because the system doesn’t allow for expertise and progress, I opened my OWN practice in Mog and unfortunately for security challenges I had to close it. My journey continues both in and out of Somalia and Inshallah I will have the opportunity to use my training and expertise in primary care/health policy to improving health outcomes for my people. To my family and friends who have always kept me going - thank you for the love and support. To my political adversaries, caadi iska dhiga. We share a country - not lives. To the YOUNG people on this app - FOCUS on building a career you love and makes you $ without having to sell your soulzshow more

Look at how American children live! I filmed this... on my way home from New York City after attending the World Falun Dafa Day parade a few days ago. I happened to get stuck behind a school bus, which kept stopping and delayed me quite a bit — but it also gave me a chance to closely observe the happy lives of these children. As you can see, the school bus drops each child off right at their home. Sometimes two houses are only five or ten meters apart, yet the bus still stops separately for each family. It doesn’t try to save time by dropping the children somewhere in between and making them walk home on their own. Around the 10-second mark in the video, you can see a small child get off the bus and cross the street to go home. That’s why in the United States, whenever a school bus stops, not only must all the cars behind it stop, but even the cars coming from the opposite direction must stop as well — all to ensure children can cross the road safely. I filmed both of these clips from inside my car. I was quite amazed that day, but I hadn’t had time to share them until now. Today I finally wanted to show everyone. This is what a society built for people looks like! And compare American children's lives with those of Chinese children! A follower of my Chinese language account 曾錚 says that a lot of Chinese middle and high-school students are just like prisoners, and their parents are only allowed to visit them at school once a month!show more

DISGUSTING: Dr. Mostafa Barghouthi made one of the most... disgusting comments that has been circulating since October 7, 2023, saying: "They killed 22,000 children. But Gaza produced 82,000 live children during the last two and a half years. This is a miracle for me." The word "produced" is chilling. Palestinian children are not products to replace those who were killed. Every child lost is an irreplaceable human being, not a statistic to be offset by new births. This kind of rhetoric reduces Palestinians to a blood bank for an ideology. It treats our suffering, our dead, and our children as expendable in the name of so-called "resistance." I cannot describe the anger and contempt I feel for anyone who speaks about Palestinian lives this way. Shame on every media outlet, journalist, and podcaster that continues to give this disgusting human being a platform.show more

Imagine this. Putting your child’s image and health background... up on to a public website along with around 80 other children in similar situations in a fight to get funding allocated to help ease their pain, and get them the treatment each and every one of them deserve. Imagine the relief you felt when the €19million was approved and you finally felt like things would improve. Imagine then, finding out that Children's Health Ireland decided your children weren’t worth it. Despite that group of children and parents fighting to get the money, they decided they would just spend it as they see fit. After all this time we finally have proof that our children are being neglected by the state. Our children are seen as less deserving and less important. Imagine when these children grow up-to then learn that this is why they were in so much pain through childhood. Then @DonnellyStephen actually trying to say he didn’t know, it’s such an absolute slap in the face. The very bloody least he could do for these kids now is hold his hands up, and admit he has failed them. Admit he turned a blind eye until it was brought to public attention. Shame on each and every single person that had a hand in this. Absolutely vile human beings. #OwnYourBloodyMistakes #backus #scoliosis Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paeds Advocacy#backus The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs Úna Keightley Dr Tom Clonan CM Haughey Solicitors Ruth Coppingershow more

I’ve spent the last few days in four countries... across the Middle East visiting British Forces on live operations. Our Armed Forces personnel there are working with our allies and partners on the rapidly evolving situation. That’s why I wasn’t in Westminster for yesterday’s vote on the Northern Ireland Legacy Bill. I understand why people feel strongly about this. But the crisis in the Middle East is already affecting us all and it’s ongoing. I served for 24 years. I know what it means to be asked to put your life on the line for this country, and I know what we owe the people who do. For those who served in Northern Ireland, and for their families, this is not an abstract issue. It is about truth, justice, and how we treat those who put themselves on the line for our country. My focus is clear: to make sure the process does not become the punishment, to recognise the difference in law and in fact between those who served the state under orders and those who set out to harm it, and to support veterans and their families in getting as close as possible to truth, reconciliation and justice. I will continue working with colleagues across Government, in private as much as in public, to make sure we get this right. To everyone who served in Northern Ireland, and to the wider veteran community: that commitment does not change. To those that seek to divide the veteran community, question commitment, motivations, honour or question intent, that is your right to do so. And, to those that continue to engage and seek change for justice, let’s keep doing so. We will get there.show more

I am grateful to Canada for its strong support... of the PURL initiative. The additional $200 million announced today by Prime Minister Mark Carney is an important contribution to protecting our people from Russia's constant ballistic strikes. In total, Canada has already allocated more than $830 million to support this initiative. These are decisions that truly save lives. During the meeting, we discussed in detail strengthening cooperation between Ukraine and Canada, further support for our people, and efforts to bring back Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. We are grateful to our Canadian friends and to the entire nation for their strong support.show more

This giggling is disgraceful childish and high-school behaviour at... a time that demanded seriousness and discipline. It signals to the suspect that he’s winning, that he can mock authority and get away with it. An MP confronts a thug, the thug talks back in a disrespectful manner and other MPs giggle. How is that leadership?💆🏿 Dereleen James MP was holding it down nicely, challenging someone who should be answering for their actions, yet the response from fellow Adhoc Committee members is laughter. Instead of backing their colleague and reprimanding the disrespect shown towards a Member of Parliament, they laugh like spectators at a schoolyard argument. Ay bazalwane, is this the level we have sunk to? Every day these MPs find a new way to cheapen the process.🚮 #AdHocCommittee #catmatlalashow more

Why did they have a loophole like this in... the first place? We should have had laws like this years ago to finally stop grave site robbers and vandalism. An Ohio bill seeks to create a felony offense for taking items or decorations from a gravesite This woman was so devastated by the cruelty of others I am hurt, angry, and heartbroken. Today, I went to my son’s gravesite at Green Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery, and what I found brought me to tears. Everything I put out there is gone. Every flower, every decoration, every piece of love I placed to honor his memory... all of it is missing. To make things worse, the metal vase that’s built into the headstone has been broken off. How could this even happen? It’s all metal and connected to the stone. There is no way this could come apart on its own. On top of that, his gravestone is sinking into the ground on the front side. After all the money, time, and care I’ve invested to make sure his resting place was beautiful and respected, this is unacceptable. I have tried calling, leaving message after message, and I will keep calling until I reach someone who can explain what happened. Families should not have to endure this kind of heartbreak and disrespect. This isn’t just about missing items… It’s about respect. Respect for my son’s memory. Respect for grieving families. Respect for every person who has to visit a cemetery because their loved one was taken too soon. Something needs to be done. Our loved ones deserve better. And so do weshow more

Integrated Flyover to Ease Travel and Enhance Mobility! Inaugurated... and unveiled the stone plaque of the Savitribai Phule Pune University Square Integrated Double-Decker Flyover (Aundh to Shivajinagar), in Pune today. The flyover has been constructed to address long-term traffic management at University square (Chowk) and Ganeshkhind Road, providing a sustainable solution to congestion in this busy area. One side of the flyover, from Aundh to Shivajinagar, has already been opened for traffic. The ramps on the Shivajinagar and Aundh sides are complete, while the remaining ramps at Baner and Pashan are planned to be finished by October 2025. The flyover has been developed as an alternative arrangement to reduce traffic jams and improve flow. This project has been designed to ensure smoother and safer commuting for citizens and is part of a larger vision to enhance urban mobility. This project is more than concrete and steel. It directly benefits citizens by making daily travel easier and more convenient. Every step, from planning to construction, has focused on safety, efficiency and improving the lives of those who use this route daily. With initiatives like this, the city moves forward, delivering progress that serves the people. DCM Ajitdada Pawar, Minister Chandrakantdada Patil, MLA Siddharth Shirole, MLA Hemant Rasane and other dignitaries were present PMRDA Ajit Pawar Chandrakant Patil Siddharth Shirole Hemant Rasane #Maharashtra #Infrastructure #Puneshow more

Ordinary Ukrainian cities: Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro. Ordinary life, and... Russian strikes that should never have happened. Every day in Ukraine is marked by large-scale attacks with strike drones, mostly “Shaheds”—it was Iran that taught Russia how to produce such drones. Today, more than a dozen drones have already hit our Kharkiv, one of the largest cities in Ukraine. Ordinary residential buildings have been damaged, and so far 8 people have been wounded, including a 12-year-old girl. No country should have to go through this. And against this backdrop, speaking about easing pressure on Russia, lifting sanctions, and so on, is definitely inappropriate and unhelpful. Russia kills people every day and drags out this war. The U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table for half a month now. Pressure on Russia is needed to save lives and to make diplomacy work faster and more effectively. Without pressure on Russia, there will be no result.show more

#SaveSnuggles Update I'll be spending much of today working... behind the scenes to bring media attention to Snuggles' story. One thing I want supporters to understand is that a lot of advocacy work doesn't happen on social media. While posts and shares are VERY IMPORTANT, there are also phone calls, emails, media outreach, interviews, press materials, conversations with reporters, and other efforts happening behind the scenes that most people never see. For those who are just learning about Snuggles: Snuggles is a 2-year-old livestock guardian dog belonging to a military veteran and his family in Tucson, Arizona. He lives with his mom, dad, and two young boys who love him dearly. Following a first-time bite incident on his own property, Snuggles was taken from his family and has now spent nearly 8 months in a shelter. His family has been charged more than $15,000 in boarding fees while fighting to save him. The bite victim was the children's grandmother, and she is actively supporting Snuggles and asking that he be returned home. Despite all of this, Snuggles is facing a court ordered euthanasia. Today I'm asking everyone following this page to do just ONE thing. Please make one phone call or send one email to Steve Kozachik, Director of Pima Animal Care Center. Be respectful. Be professional. Let him know people across the country are paying attention to Snuggles' case and asking for compassion, transparency, and alternatives to euthanasia. 📞 (520) 724-5900 📧 [email protected] If hundreds of people take two minutes out of their day, it can make a difference. The video attached to this post is especially difficult to watch. You'll see Snuggles' two boys singing a song for their "Sergeant Snuggles." While many people see a court case, these boys see their best friend. Thank you to everyone who is standing with this family and helping us fight to bring Snuggles home. #SaveSnugglesshow more

I have seen many opposition parties losing to the... BJP from 2014. RJD, SP, INC, SSUBT, NCP etc etc.... But I have never seen the people tease, taunt, jeer & mock the opposition leaders, members of the party and an Ex CM as much as the people of West Bengal did to Mamta Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee and each and every karyakarta, politician, or MP/MLA of the TMC party. From making memes, dancing on bridges and in pubs, mocking them in front of their houses, making a playlist of File Chor, Pishi chor Vaipo Chor type of songs, cat calling Mamta Banerjee in the Supreme Court,to spitting on Abhishek Banerjee.... they did all to their hearts content and are still dancing and celebrating. This is what happens....when you intimidate and torture people into silence and submission for years. I can predict that after this freedom and new found valour, if Mahua Moitra goes asking for votes in the Lok Sabha elections, every MP candidate of the TMC including her, will get what she most likes to advertise.......Eggs !!show more

Whether you are a random person on X or... Elon Musk, I urge you all to please read this post and stop using videos like this one to claim that Biden has an "open border policy": #1) The people in this video are already on American soil. The agents have a few options here. Detain them behind the razor wire or detain them in front of it, let the children cut themselves on razor wire or make sure they don't get cut. #2) In May President Biden issued an "asylum ban" which barred migrants from applying for humanitarian protection if they cross the border against the law or fail to first apply for safe harbor while crossing through another country on the way to the U.S. The US COURTS OVERTURNED IT. Biden also requested $3.5B for more border patrol agents and judges and lawyers. Republicans refused. #3) Let me explain to you all why the people in this video can't simply be put on a truck and driven back into Mexico and dropped off: a - They have a right to due process according to our Constitution. b - There are international laws indicating that we can't just drop people off from Honduras or Cuba or any other nation into Mexico. What if one of these people claimed they were from Canada? Should we drop them in Canada? c - How do we immediately prove that a person is not an American, or an Italian, or a Brazilian if they claim they are? Stop pretending that Biden isn't doing anything. Stop pretending that the immigration problem is simple. Stop pretending that this has not been a problem for decades. Understand that the surge of migrants isn't the fault of Biden but actually global geopolitical upheaval in Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and other nations. Instead of pointing fingers and claiming that "Biden has an open border policy," when his policy is not much different than those we have had for the last 40 years, how about working together on comprehensive reform? So before you make another Tweet claiming Biden has an Open Border Policy, how about instead you provide actual solutions that are LEGAL, that should be implemented.show more

AMERICA IS UNDER TICK INVASION — AND IT’S NO... ACCIDENT! We’ve NEVER seen anything like this. Rep. Tim Burchett called it out: "Bill Gates is behind the explosion of ticks." Look at this dog bowl in Missouri: completely covered in hundreds of ticks. They’re not eating the food — ticks are blood-feeders. They’re literally waiting for the dog so they can latch on and attack. This is happening RIGHT NOW across the country. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has dumped $$MILLIONS into genetically modified cattle ticks. Gates has openly attacked meat production for years while pouring BILLIONS into his lab-grown fake meat empire. Now alpha-gal syndrome — the tick bite that gives you a lifelong allergy to all real meat and dairy (beef, pork, lamb) — is exploding everywhere. One bite and your body treats steak like poison. Coincidence? Pfizer is racing out a Lyme disease vaccine (ticks again). Gates funds mosquito “vaccine” tech. The timing is way too perfect. Experts blame “warm weather.” We call BULLSH*T. This is engineered chaos to make real meat and meat byproducts dangerous. Protect your dogs. Protect your family. Protect our food supply. Bill Gates needs to answer for this. NOW.show more

This week I was proud to present my Private... Member's Bill: State-related Deaths (National Oversight Mechanism). It would fix a gaping and inexcusable hole in the government's responsibility to keep its citizens safe. Alexandra, a young woman in my constituency, died after public services repeatedly failed her. Her mum got in touch with me and told me her shocking story, and let me know about INQUEST's #NoMoreDeaths campaign. When someone dies after contact with the state, hundreds of vital recommendations are made following inquests and inquiries. But unbelievably, it is not ANYONE'S job to collate these recommendations, analyse them for patterns, and make sure they get acted on. So it doesn't happen. Public and private bodies have a duty to keep us safe from harm and protect our lives, but every year hundreds of people die preventable state related deaths. The lack of any mechanism for learning from past tragedies is surely a big part of this. Let's fix this. Read more about the campaign:show more

🐣 Easter is a time for family, love, and... togetherness. But this year, thousands of Ukrainian children won’t be celebrating at home. They were stolen by Russia — taken from their families, their homes, and their homeland. Today, we launch the international Easter campaign #ChildrenAreNonNegotiable to remind the world that there can be no just and lasting peace without the return of every Ukrainian child. The sweater in this video is more than just clothing — it’s a symbol. A symbol of the children who were abducted and of our commitment to bring them back. Across the world, hundreds of leaders, public figures, and celebrities are posting photos in this sweater to say one thing loud and clear: the fate of Ukrainian children is not up for negotiation. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has carried out a systematic campaign to erase Ukrainian identity by abducting children, placing them in Russian families, and brainwashing them into becoming something they are not. It is a war crime — recognized as such by the International Criminal Court, which has issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova. These children have been used as weapons — to weaken Ukraine and threaten the security of Europe. But we will not allow this to be their fate. To everyone joining this campaign: thank you. Your voice matters. Together, we will bring kids home. Because children are not bargaining chips. Children are non-negotiable. #BringKidsBackshow more
