July will begin a larger highlight on the plight our sisters face in the North.

Just across the border, the very women that have risked their lives to smuggle pills to us in the South are being prosecuted - this carries a life sentence...
Women and girls in the North are being forgotten about - left in limbo while politics prevail and prevents people from having access to safe abortions.
People that become pregnant through rape and incest, children that become pregnant, fatal foetal abnormalities, even the risk to a woman's life does not warrant grounds for a safe termination in the North.
We will not stand by and let our sisters down. Rally For Choice Ireland have asked the south to join them, and so we will.
We will rise up and meet them, our feet in the streets with them. We will hold them, and hold politicians accountable together - these are OUR lives. These are OUR bodies. These are OUR decisions. These are OUR sisters.
Politicians work for US.
and WE demand autonomy and integrity in healthcare.

WE will not stop fighting until abortion is decriminalized in the North. Repealing section 58 and 59 of the Offences Against a Person Act.
Decriminalizing abortion and creating a safer, healthier society for ourselves and the future.

Hear us now.
Stand with us together at City Hall, Belfast
July 7th

One month ago we stood and waited anxiously for the results of the referendum.
We rejoiced together, the weight lifting, this freedom and feeling of finally being heard - of finally gaining something for ourselves :: our autonomy.
We celebrated, a wash of great relief in knowing that those of us that have had to travel will be the last ones.. that our daughters can get help here at home. That we will shift the stigma and silence around needing abortion care.

“In 2013 I was absolutely thrilled to discover I was pregnant. I already had a child and desperately wanted to expand our little family...
Having suffered with a very rare and extremely debilitating illness called hyperemesis gravidarum during my first pregnancy, I was excited but terrified of falling victim to the condition again.
The chances are high that it will return on subsequent pregnancies.
I consoled myself with the fact that after 4 or 5 months of living hell during my first pregnancy, I was finally prescribed a medication that was very effective.

I am posting this for Igor, who is one of the frontline Guardians at the #border. They have shut off the internet connection for all the Guardians except me. -SR

1) Yesterday, at the border, I was threatened by several National Guards and BW agent’s. They told me they would send
me to jail if my team and if I didn’t back off and stop trying to help the migrants. Of course they don’t have the authority to do that, however, John Bolton is in charge of much that is going on at the border and he wants to silence us. His goal is to cause disarray and division
so that Donald calls for a mandatory shut down of ALL borders and a travel ban on agents leaving America at all. itnessed a little girl and her young mother, early 20s, being beaten yesterday by #ICE agents. They then took the mother away from the daughter and separated them.

181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

"I felt like this was the right time. Although comebacks are all the rage at the moment, I thought it's more important to introduce my music now regardless of that. I worked slowly on my album since 1 yr ago and while promoting with SHINee."
181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

"If I had released my solo album earlier, I think it would have seemed rushed. I wanted to calmly make music and prepare my stage. I was waiting for the right time for me, and 10 years ended up passing as a result."
181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

"The reason it took so long for my album to come out was because there were a lot important projects that I couldn't easily give up."

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

North Korea has agreed to return just 200 sets of US service member remains. BUT …“Defense Department estimates there are up to 5,300 sets of US service member remains still somewhere in North Korea. A total of 7,697 personnel remain unaccounted for from the Korean War.”
1. It was US decision to deploy nuclear weapons in South Korea in 1958 that prompted North Korean government to ask Soviet Union and China for help in developing nuclear weapons (both refused). Soviet Union however agreed to help N Korea develop a peaceful nuclear energy program.
2. Eventually this technology base developed into North Korea’s clandestine nuclear weapons program, leading to its nuclear tests.

So why did the US deploy nukes in South Korea in the first place, which triggered this nuclear arms race on the Korean Peninsula?

Follow this thread for highlights from the (sure to be remarkable) speech by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on the Trump administration’s Syria strategy:
"The nature of the Assad regime, like that of its sponsor Iran, is malignant. It has promoted state terror. It has empowered groups that kill American soldiers, such as al-Qaeda in Iraq"
"The story of Syria has been one of humanitarian catastrophe. Up to half a million Syrians have died. Over 5.4m Syrians are refugees, and 6.1m are internally displaced persons as a result of conflict between regime and opposition forces. Whole cities have been destroyed."
