By mid-2025, 117 million people had been displaced by war, violence and persecution. Three in four now living in countries facing high-to-extreme exposure to climate-related hazards. Over the past 10 years, weather-related disasters have caused some 250 million internal displacements – equivalent to around 70,000 displacements per day. https://www.unhcr.org/us/news/press-releases/unhcr-report-reveals-extreme-weather-driving-repeated-displacement-among #climate #climatecrisis #immigration #refugee
Tommy Seiler writes: This lie about 'us' all living longer, and then they suggest raising the SS age again!, has been going on for so long. Truth is, the bottom third have had shorter lives since the 2008 crash. "Deaths among adults ages 18-65 increased by 27% from 2012 to 2022, according to an analysis of federal mortality data from all 50 states published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Health Forum. " and...Besides the obvious heinous coverup of millions of people dying before their time by both parties and MSM, it also means a very class war angle for them. If one third of the population doesn't even live long enough to collect SS and Medicare, that means they are subsidizing the trust funds for the upper middle and upper class. One other fact that hits you in the gut, the larger early mortality among African americans. These people are the generations that finally got some entry into skilled union jobs in the 60's, finally some access to fair housing loans by the 70's, to pass on equity to their kids, and wham, they can't even enjoy just a couple years in retirement. Just another reason, when people blame ANYTHING on black americans.....I want to reach for my revolver. "Premature mortality rates for Black Americans also increased by 38% over the course of the study, compared to a 28% rise among White Americans." https://www.mcknights.com/news/rise-in-premature-deaths-prevents-americans-from-reaching-age-of-medicare-eligibility-study-finds/?brid=1fgxs4_bCcmaC2uWrOckKA

November 14, 1973: The Athens Polytechnic uprising began, a massive student protest against the Greek military junta of 1967–74. Up to 420 civilians were killed, including several children. Slogans and banners were anti-NATO and anti-American, and likened the Greek Junta to the Nazis. The pro-Soviet Marxist student groups A-AFEE refused to participate. Leftists and Anarchists initiated a sit-in, demanding the abolition of capitalism. Other student groups only demanded a restoration of democracy. #workingclass #LaborHistory #greece #anarchism #students #nato #soviet #communism #massacre image
