"Long before the overwhelming harms of smoking were widely known, tobacco companies already knew their product was harmful and addictive. Instead of taking corrective action, they spent decades undermining any regulation, even while cigarettes continued to kill millions. Opting not to mitigate harms but to instead distract from the overwhelming evidence their product was deadly, they aggressively pushed their product on vulnerable audiences"

Reporter: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied #refugee status. So why such an exception for the #Afrikaners?
#Trump ofcl: One of the criteria is making sure they can “assimilate” into our country.
Trump’s EO shutting down the refugee program made exceptions “to admit only those #refugees who can fully & appropriately assimilate into the United States.”
For Trump, that means #WhiteSupremacists.

Oggi 12 maggio, 44 anni fa, l'attentato a Giovanni Paolo II
In questo giorno del 1981, Papa Giovanni Paolo II fu ferito a colpi d'arma da fuoco dal turco Mehmet Ali Ağca in Piazza San Pietro, Città del Vaticano. Il Papa rimase gravemente ferito: un proiettile gli trapassò l'addome e un altro mancò di poco il cuore.

Das Bild zeigt eine Nähklingelmaschine der Marke "jura" mit einem digitalen Display. Das Display zeigt in pinken LED-Lichtern die Zahl "TOTAL 45685". Im Vordergrund ist ein runder Knopfbereich mit verschiedenen Symbolen zu sehen, darunter ein Kaffeebecher und ein Milchkaffeebecher, die auf verschiedene Kaffeearten hinweisen. Der Knopfbereich ist silbern mit einem schwarzen Zentrum, auf dem das "jura"-Logo prangt. Die Oberfläche des Knopfbereichs reflektiert ein leichtes Glänzen, was auf eine glatte, möglicherweise metallische Oberfläche hinweist.

Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, citing moral opposition
"In light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step," [bishop] Rowe wrote. "Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government."

Fugfi da guerra e persecuzioni e Trump ti arresta. Sei un bianco che va via da un paese democratico come il Sudafrica e Trump ti concede asilo politico.
Arriverà a derubare i poveri per dare le loro poche cose ai ricchi, tipo Superciuk
Perché concedere asilo politico ai bianchi sudafricani è una follia politica targata Trump (e Musk)
Trump concede asilo politico ai sudafricani bianchi rappresenta una mossa controversa e priva di fondamento logico o giuridico, che sembra rispondere più a motivazioni politiche e ideologiche che a una reale necessità umanitariaglobalist (Globalist.it)
