They talk of tipping points as something in a hypothetical future.
We are tipping.
We are chugging towards a cliff edge squabbling in the back seat while maniacs fight for the wheel.

From 1994 to 2025,Ukraine consistently voted in favor of the resolution condemning the blockade of Cuba. Conversely,in 2014,Cuba voted against the resolution recognizing Ukraine’s territorial integrity,and it has abstained every time a vote has been held on resolutions condemning ruSSian aggression,annexation,and so on. Up to 7,000 Cubans have been recruited into the russian army for russia’s war against Ukraine.
Incidentally,South American nations such as Argentina,Colombia,Costa Rica,and Paraguay have also voted against condemning the blockade of Cuba.
There are no free elections in Cuba.
Cuba refuses to cooperate in the extradition of foreign criminals hiding within its borders.
Cuba supports Russian aggression.
It is striking how states lacking free elections and good neighborly relations,plagued by state censorship,corruption,a lack of freedom,isolation ruled by madmens who consolidate all power in their own hands while banning opposition parties,are banding together into a modern-day "axis of evil."
Iran,Russia,Cuba,the DPRK,Nicaragua,Niger,Eritrea,Mali,Belarus,Burkina Faso and more recently the Trump administration which now controls the United States ... these are currently Russia’s closest allies. Quite a collection,aren't they?

👉🏿 I was born under a dictatorship and have spent a great deal of my adult life denouncing authoritarian regimes. I am deeply shocked to read the threatening statement issued by the @metpoliceuk . Threatening to arrest people for providing "logistical support" to peaceful demonstrators is the kind of threatening statement we are used to getting from the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship in Nicaragua. This is not what I expect from PM Andy Burnham’s Government. The UK is supposed to be a democracy, where freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Churchill’s words remind us that a true civilisation relies entirely on these liberties to maintain democratic accountability. Criminalising and proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a shameful authoritarian overreach.
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation.
Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

A prominent Russian military propagandist disclosed the truth - 80% of residents of occupied Oleshky asked to be evacuated to Ukraine, not to Russia. Oleshky has been occupied for 4.5 years, since day 1 of the war, but people on the occupied territories still consider themselves Ukrainians, even if they are prosecuted or harassed for this. Of course, the propagandist had to delete the information when it gained attention.

In today's Whitehouse on a Halloween party we a kid wearing a russian military uniform with a modern russian tank forces patch featuring Armata tank.
This is a carefully crafted political message by someone in Trump's inner circle.
This isn't a coincidence.
Troops wearing this patch are currently pillaging and raping Ukrainian children, while their supporters and enablers sends their kids to celebrate Halloween with the USA president.

VIDEO | "We are occupiers. Everything that is happening now is the result of the occupation"
According to a report by Arutz Sheva, veteran Israeli actress Chelli Goldenberg sparked widespread public controversy after declaring that she is "no longer proud to be Israeli" during a candid discussion she mistakenly believed was taking place off-air.
Speaking with television hosts during what she assumed was a commercial break, Goldenberg condemned decades of Israeli policy, stating, "We are occupiers. Everything happening now is a consequence of the occupation," while explicitly denouncing settler violence and "Jewish terrorism."
The former fashion model and cinema figure, who rose to prominence in the 1978 film Ha-Lahaka, emphasized that understanding the "sin of the occupation" took years, directly attributing the current regional crisis, military aggression, and social fragmentation to colonial expansion and extremist dominance.
Visibly distressed upon realizing the conversation had been broadcast live, she confronted the show's producers for failing to notify her that the cameras were rolling.

Child screaming for their father in Dnipro, fathers crying over the bodies of his daughters in Chernihiv.
Horrific pain.
I despise anyone who dares to say Ukraine doesn't want peace.
Let me clear this up.
When Palestinians or Lebanese resist having their homes destroyed or occupied that’s violence.
When Israelis destroy or occupy other people’s homes that’s heroism.
Piers Morgan: "The UN says settler violence is at an all-time high. Do you support it?"
Daniella Weiss: "I'm against violence. The Hilltop Youth are the wall that protects Israel. They are courageous."
Piers: "So you do support the violence?"
Weiss: "No! Jews are not violent! The settlers are not violent!"
Piers: "Actually, they are being violent. They're waging terrorism."
Weiss: "No. They are courageous."
You can't make this up.
She literally admitted to supporting the "courageous" settlers who are rampaging across the West Bank, and then denied that the violence is happening at all

Please boost this. It cannot be allowed to continue that Russia is kidnapping these people rather than allowing them to return to Ukraine's territory.
Russian forces have begun taking civilians from occupied Oleshky to Russia, apparently disregarding previously announced agreements governing the operation.
The operations are being conducted by the Russian military, without American representatives or teams from either side’s ombudsman office present. Russia’s state news agency TASS is openly filming the operation.
There is no indication that civilians are being given a choice of where they wish to go. No buses or other vehicles designated to transport evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory are visible.
The operation raises serious concerns that Russia is once again exploiting a humanitarian evacuation to forcibly transfer Ukrainian civilians.
The parallels with the evacuation of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant are disturbing. Once again, Moscow appears to be disregarding agreed procedures while controlling the fate of Ukrainian civilians.
How dare they make a tv series …
Just a wild guess ~ they won’t be devoting six episodes to dissing Poland.
Then again, we could wait until we see it to judge it.
“Andreas Malm is among the most brilliant intellectuals working in Europe today. For the UK government to deny him entry to Britain is not only an outrageous attack on a respected climate expert, but a sad and frightening act of cultural self-harm.”
theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
“Never in over 55 years of publishing has a British government revoked the right of one of our authors to enter the country. Malm is a leading world authority on climate change and recognised as such .. Andreas Malm’s books have won international awards”.
Not our sort, then.
Verso Books condemns the Labour government’s decision to ban one of our leading authors, Andreas Malm, from entering the United Kingdom.

I am alive and free.
Settlers tried to kill us because we caught them locking several Palestinian communities from leaving their homes - very illegally, even by Israeli occupation's laws.
I'm concussed and very tired, so I'll tell the story tomorrow.

"CATASTROPHIC" is what health officials are calling the Ebola outbreak in Mandima, Ituri province, DR Congo.
Nearly 400 confirmed cases were recorded between 1 and 27 October alone, bringing the total to 460 cases and 328 deaths, according to the zone’s chief medical officer, Dr Job Bakwata.
