Today is the anniversary of the illegal and ruinous #US invasion of #Iraq. I joined hundreds of thousands who protested it in #NYC and other cities. Remember how #Bush, the CIA, rendition & “confessions” by torture in #Egypt were instrumental. google.com/amp/s/www.nyti… After Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, a Libyan captured in Afghanistan, was rendered by the United States to Egypt in 2002, Egyptian interrogators beat him and subjected him to a “mock burial” by putting him in a cramped box for 17 hours. He fabricated information that Iraq had provided training in chemical and biological weapons to operatives of Al Qaeda.
16yrs later, George W. Bush has since been rehabilitated out of the war criminal he is & into a cuddly artist grandpa, and several of his war administration, instead of being held accountable for war crimes in #Iraq, continue drumming war for Trump or on Twitter play “Resistance”
Trump is a continuation, not an aberration. The roots that brought him to fruition are much deeper than the Bush administration. Bush launched two wars against Muslim majority countries. Obama left office with the US militarily involved in at least 5 Muslim countries.

2yrs ago as part of Bradford LitFest, I spoke at a girls school. The first girl waiting to talk to me after was a 15yo Muslim girl who told me she was gay & feared her family would kill her if she came out. Schools need more not less classes on LGBT rights bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
I asked @ImaanLGBTQ how best to help the 15yo girl and they sent me info on a programme for LGBT youth in her area. I am glad to see more Muslim LGBT groups in the UK and in North America.
Young #LGBTQ Muslims must not be abandoned to the homophobia of the parents who have succeeded in canceling the classes nor to the racist and Islamophobic backlash that will invariably jump onto this as another reason to bash on Muslims.

Media that covers #Media #Publishing #Journalism #tech #SocialNetworks is often critical of traffic-driving algorithms, distribution of ad revenue, personal data collection/sale. Yet these writers have the ability to get users to force change. /1 notd.io/notes/56844813…
Most of the abuses that this sector of media is critical about come from internet giants, who pay lip service in response, because those abuses are very profitable, & regulation is unlikely in the US & users not motivated enough to change their usage of networks. /2
US regulation that would help stop the criticized practices is unlikely to help, mainly because Congress isn't qualified to design these regulations, so they would leave it to lobbyists working for the industry to be regulated /3

Tengo preparado un estudio del mapa electoral, en el que voy a intentar explicar como se puede utilizar el voto útil para que el Tripartito de la Caverna NO consiga sumar los escaños suficientes para que España vuelva al S.XX…

Podeis participar en un debate sobre el #VotoUtil
El exito del #VotoUtil para impedir que el #TripartitoDelaCaverna , tiene como condición indispensable que la PARTICIPACIÓN supere el 80%. Con una participación inferior se revalidaria, con toda seguridad, a escala nacional el Gobierno Andaluz de las 3 Derechas…
En España, hay 52 circunscripciones electorales.Dos de ellas con un sólo escaño en juego,Ceuta y Melilla, en el que el #VotoUtil cobra una importancia vital,al igual que en las provincias con menos de 6 escaños en juego. Iré, provincia por provincia desgranando las posibilidades.

80 años de la entrada de las tropas nacionales en #Barcelona. Sin resistencia ni combate. Recepción delirante a Yagüe y su Cuerpo de Ejército Africano.
Negrín y Companys huyeron como ratas.
libertaddigital.com/cultura/histor…
#Cataluna Ésta fue la portada de La Vanguardia de hace 80 años, después de un día de asueto en los kioskos para preparar el cambio. De 'diario al servicio de la democracia' a 'diario al servicio de España y del Generalísimo #Franco'.
¡Siempre con el Poder!
#PrensaDeKalida Y así mentía La Vanguardia la víspera de que las tropas nacionales entraran en Barcelona, sin ninguna resistencia. Azaña, Negrín, Companys y Rojo ya habían huido y abandonado a los barceloneses. #MemoriaHistorica

The instant, inevitable cries of ‘false flag’ after bomb threats targeting the Clintons, Obamas and CNN washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
2/"We knew nearly nothing, except that the Secret Service had intercepted “potential explosive devices” targeting the Clintons and Obamas, while investigators also looked into a suspicious package at CNN’s New York offices. Days earlier, authorities found an explosive device in

Desde este humilde espacio queremos colaborar con nombres de jugadores #AXEM Sub 23 que pueden estar en la renovación de Juveniles para la Selección argentina. Arranca el hilo, están invitados a seguirlo. 👍🇦🇷
La idea es nombrar a los jugadores que no tienen tanta prensa y que viven desde chicos en distintos países, que los padres se fueron de Argentina por oportunidades laborales, crisis o demás. También estarán los más conocidos y que ya jugaron en el fútbol argentino.
Matías Reynares ataja en los @TampaBayRowdies, tiene 19 años y posee la nacionalidad estadounidense. El histórico arquero Brad Friedel lo convocó hace dos años para un campamento con la Sub 19 🇺🇸 y dejó varios elogios para el arquero.

Vaig a obrir un fil per contrastar missatges i fotos que m'arriben per whatsapp, relacionats amb referèndum i tota la mandanga.
Això no és "avui". És del 2013. I Lega Nord és un partit de dreta, xenòfob i racista. No volem amics així! 🚮🚫
Notícia del setembre 2013. Info esbiaxada i no del tot correcte. El ministre Montoro no té res a veure amb Monthisa ni cap familiar. 🚫🚮
