“The actress and social media influencer Jameela Jamil recently aroused the wrath of British Empire nostalgists and apologists following her appearance on an alternative media podcast. Jameela riled the apologists for two reasons. Firstly, for claiming that Brexit ‘paved the way’ for President Donald Trump’s electoral successes and secondly for stating that ‘British people are truly the most evil people in history’”

The Tinker Experiment was a UK government policy (1940-1980) that forcibly settled Scottish Gypsy Travellers into substandard housing. No electricity until 2010.

Children taken from families. The Church of Scotland was complicit. In 2025, Scotland finally said sorry — but victims want reparations, not just words.

A Day for the World to Say Sorry

From Australia’s National Sorry Day Toward an International Day of Truth, Repentance, and Repair

A PeaceGrooves Reflection

There are words so overused that they risk becoming weightless. Sorry is one of them. We say it when we bump into someone in a hallway, when we answer an email too late, when we make an insignificant mistake. Yet there are times when sorry is not small at all. There are wounds so deep, so deliberately inflicted, and so long denied that the speaking of sorrow becomes an act of public truth.

Australia’s National Sorry Day, observed each year on May 26, is such a day. It remembers the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families, communities, languages, and cultures under government policies now associated with the Stolen Generations. The date marks the anniversary of the 1997 tabling of the Bringing Them Home report, the landmark national inquiry that gathered testimony from survivors and documented the devastation caused by these removals. The report called not only for recognition of what had happened, but for apology, healing, reparations, family reunion, access to records, and measures ensuring such violations would never recur.

National Sorry Day did not begin as a sentimental holiday….

#UN Resolution #Sklaverei

Die von der Generalversammlung der #VereintenNationen am 25. März 2026 verabschiedete Resolution fordert die Anerkennung des transatlantischen Sklav*innenhandels als “schwerstes Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit”. Dies ermöglicht breitere Definition von Verbrechen gegen die #Menschlichkeit im #Völkerrecht und #Rückerstattungsansprüche gegen Täter*innen.

I get quite irritated seeing news of more #treaty talks when past #treaties are still not being honoured in 2024. I'm talking about several #Indigenous treaties with #GovernmentOfCanada & #BCgovernment - as well as #InternationalTreaty agreements in #geopolitical arenas.

#HonourTheTreaties - a well overdue #ethical & #moral #responsibility! An essential step towards #RightingWrongs from #colonialism.

I'm a longtime supporter of #RAVENTrust & their dedicated work for #Indigenous #justice.

"Supporting the assertion of the inherent and constitutionally-protected rights of Indigenous Peoples is a powerful pathway towards reconciliation and environmental justice. Working together we’ve raised millions of dollars to back some of the most groundbreaking legal challenges of our time.

Our First Nation partners have halted mines, stopped pipelines, and created better laws.

Take a stand for our common future. Join the RAVEN movement for Indigenous justice."

@Beachbum @hanse_mina First comes support for Ukraine to help the proud, free & self-defending people of Ukraine to kick the Kremlin aggressor out of Ukrainian territories.
And only if that's gonna happen, Putin will fail to also rake in $billion aid-packages meant to rebuild after the Kremlin's war of aggression has been defeated by the glorious defenders of Ukraine.

@CharlieMcHenry #Generationalpoverty must be addressed, #reparations, #votingrestrictions. Florida is considered too hostile for blacks to travel to according to the #NAACP. I hope more of us are for #equality and will help us #rise as a nation.

She echoes what #ComfortWomen from #Phillipines who now live here & shared their traumatic stories with me said. Many have now passed away. Some survivors here, told me, they believe #Canada is trying to do similar #delayed $justice #reparations for their #genocidal #crimes against the #Indigenous peoples here. They're not wrong. Canada let RCMP & their other #IndianAct agents take #NativeWomen & #abused & #exploited them just like Japan did w/many #AsianWomen in #WorldWarII .
