RT by @EU_UNGeneva: In July 1944, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania and other Baltic states and used military force to crush the efforts of Lithuanian citizens to restore statehood. The Soviet propaganda machine tried to disguise the occupation by creating a false narrative of liberation. #WordsMatter #FactsMatter

"Dit is piraterij", zegt de groep.
Dit is onderscheppen, zegt de NOS…

Israël onderschept Gaza-flotilla voor kust van Kreta, ook Nederlanders aan boord

De actie vond plaats bijna 1000 kilometer uit de kust van Israël. Met de vloot die op 12 april vertrok vanuit Barcelona doen honderden vrijwilligers uit 45 landen mee.

Prachtig hoe er in Nederland wordt gesproken over illegale acties op zee…

Telegraaf: “in beslag genomen”
NOS: “Amerikaanse militairen hebben in de Golf van Oman een Iraans containerschip beschoten. Daarna hebben mariniers het schip geënterd. Het schip is nu onder Amerikaanse controle, tot woede van Iran.”

Afrika: Kapen, gijzelaars en piraten vs.
Westen: Enteren en in beslag nemen

😂👌

I wish the news media would stop using the innocuously-sounding "notwithstanding clause" and say what it is: they're suspending human rights.

I saw a headline today that 4 astronauts were safely retrieved from the space flight splashdown.

I'm showing my age of the Space Shuttle era, but my first thought was: what happened to the other 3 astronauts onboard? 🤷‍♀️

Edit:
If they had said that "all 4 astronauts...", I wouldn't have had that association.

@ZackPolanski 'child sex' is not a thing
It absolutely shouldn't be hyphenated in that phrase, describing a sex crime that harms children.
Abuse, not sex #wordsMatter
