The white American nurse, accused of murdering her three young children, has the odds rigged in her favor, Reese Everson has told RT The white American mother accused of murdering her three young children would have instantly been “painted a criminal” had she been African-American, former US congressional attorney and women’s rights advocate Reese Everson has claimed in an interview with RT on Tuesday. Lindsay Clancy’s defense has not denied that she strangled her three children in January 2023. Her lawyers have argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time and was therefore not criminally responsible for her actions. According to Everson, Clancy’s identity as a white educated woman and nurse affected how her actions were viewed. ”The unspoken sentences is that no healthy, normal white American woman would do this. So only someone totally out of t...

The $17 billion deal with US states resolved claims that Facebook and Instagram were designed to addict minors Meta’s multibillion-dollar settlement with US states over alleged harm to children on social media does not go far enough, a former member of its safety team has told Politico. The agreement, announced last week during a federal trial, resolved claims by California and 28 other states that Meta deliberately designed its Facebook and Instagram platforms to keep minors hooked and misled the public about the risks. It provides for payments of up to $17 billion and imposes new restrictions on users under 18. Arturo Bejar, a former Facebook safety employee and key witness in the case, said in an interview published on Monday that he had spoken to around 40 bereaved parents and that social media had played a meaningful role in their children’s deaths. “These changes would not have save...
RT travels beyond Kabul to see how a country no longer at war is living with poverty, isolation, and life under Taliban rule Five years after the US withdrawal, Afghanistan is no longer a country at war in the way the world once knew it. The streets of Kabul are busy, markets are open, and the booms of airstrikes have faded away from villages that once shuddered under them. But the country that emerged from two decades of conflict is also more isolated, poorer, and firmly under Taliban rule. RT India’s head of news, Runjhun Sharma, travels beyond Kabul to see what the new Afghanistan looks like on the ground – seen through the eyes of the people who survived the war, the farmers adapting to sweeping Taliban restrictions, and officials trying to convince the world that the country deserves recognition. One of the most haunting encounters in the documentary comes in a village near a former US base,...
Representative Thomas Massie is campaigning for the full release of files related to the late financier and sex-trafficker to the global elite A US lawmaker listed the names of prominent Jeffrey Epstein-linked figures in an extraordinary attempt to force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to fully release government materials on the millionaire who provided sex services to the global elite.

In brief remarks on the House floor on Monday, which Massie later shared on X, he accused the government of continuing to withhold more than 3 million files. “We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted,” Massie said, before naming...

The US president has claimed his predecessor Joe Biden handed Kiev $300 billion worth of weaponry for free The Iran war is “relatively little” for the US compared with the vast amount of weaponry Washington gave Ukraine under Joe Biden, President Donald Trump has said. He claimed his predecessor handed Kiev $300 billion worth of arms for free. Trump made the remarks while taking questions from reporters at an Oval Office event on Monday as fighting in the Middle East flared up again after weeks of relative calm. US forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, prompting Tehran to retaliate with missile attacks on US forces in Jordan and the UAE. Asked whether the prolonged operation against Iran was draining US military resources needed elsewhere, Trump shrugged off the concern. “This is a relatively little war for us. This is...
