We have had too many popes issue hollow apologies, and people fall for their crocodile tears.

1) Demand that the #Pope ask #Catholics to resign from all military posts.

2) Demand that the #Vatican pay #reparations to all the people of the nations that the church looted, and which afforded it a pile of gold in a private city state in the middle of Rome.

3) Demand that the #Catholic #Church compensate all the children their priests abused.

4) Demand that the pope stop condemning #LGBTQ folks.

5) #FreeLuigi

“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’”

🔴 Le génocide de 80% des Héréros et de 60% des Namas de la Namibie perpétré en 1904-1908 par les Allemands : leur histoire et la situation de leurs descendants

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….

Chairman of the CARICOM Reparations Commission Sir Hilary Beckles (vice-chancellor of the University of the West Indies) described the adoption by the 80th UN General Assembly of the Resolution designating the Trafficking of Enslaved Africans as the Gravest Crime Against Humanity, as a “historic, landmark decision.”

UN Secretary-General António Guterre stated today:

“Now we must remove the persistent barriers that prevent so many people of African descent from exercising their rights and realising their potential,”

Huge update from the UN today, Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has secured a UN resolution declaring the slave trade (and it's lasting impacts) as one of the world's worst human rights abuses.

President Mahama stressed the importance of this resolution in the fight for reparations paid by the countries who profited from slavery.

Life 'cut short': #Peru's victims of #ForcedSterilization seek amends

Story by Agence France-Presse, 2/12/2025

LIMA — "Florentina Loayza was 19 and mother to an infant when she was sterilized by agents of the #PeruvianGovernment, against her will.

"Decades later, the 46-year-old #IndigenousWoman is still fighting for an apology and #reparations along with thousands of others robbed of their fertility in a 1990s state campaign condemned by the United Nations.
'My life was cut short,' Loayza told Agence France-Presse, recounting how her partner abandoned her over the procedure, which also left her with lasting pain.

"'On the outside, we look fine, but inside we are withering,' she said of the estimated 270,000 women who, like her, were coerced, pressured or deceived into surgery to have their fallopian tubes tied.

"Eighteen women died, according to official data, during the campaign that marked the final years of then-President #AlbertoFujimori's 1990-2000 rule.

"His government said it had offered sterilization as part of a family planning project, but the UN women's rights committee said in a report last October the state had carried out a 'systematic and generalized attack against rural and #Indigenous women.'

"It said the procedures were carried out without #InformedConsent from victims who were often poorly educated and did not understand Spanish, the language of officialdom in Peru.

"'It's not something that was done in the cities... but in a specific (rural) area as a way of fighting poverty so that the poorest women didn't reproduce,' Leticia Bonifaz, who was a member of the UN committee, told AFP.

"She said it was the biggest known case of forced sterilization in #LatinAmerica."

Expropriation from the European Jews transfered properties billions worth. From then on, the grabbed money and wealth mostly followed laws of ownership and capitalism. Only in #Germany, they grew into companies and assets in the realm of between €300 billion and €1 trillion.

In their book , Katharina and Zachary #Gallant write:
"Hitler didn't produce Zyklon-B and profit off of its use in the murder of millions: Degesh, Degussa, Henkel, and IG Faben did. Hitler didn't rip the shares of major companies from their Jewish owners, … major German businesses did… And it wasn't Hitler who took over houses and properties that had belonged to Jews through Aryanization, it was everyday Germans, many of whose families still live in those homes today."

A Vancouver Island First Nation whose people were the first to greet European explorers in the region almost 250 years ago is taking British Columbia to court, seeking title to their traditional territories and financial compensation.

Chief Mike Maquinna, a descendent of #ChiefMaquinna who met British explorer Capt. James Cook in 1776, says the claim in #BCSupremeCourt seeks to return decision-making, resource and ecological stewardship to the #Mowachaht / #Muchalalaht First Nation.

He says the province has been acting as the sole decision-making authority in the #GoldRiver / #Tahsis areas of northern #VancouverIsland especially with regards to the forest resource, without the consent of his nation.

Hereditary Chief Jerry Jack says the claim filed today seeks title to about 66,000 hectares of land from #FriendlyCove to Tahsis in the north and #ButtleLake in the east, and an undisclosed amount of financial compensation.

@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.

The #CollegeBoard, a powerful nonprofit, has been waging war w/ the administration of Gov Ron #DeSantis, a #Republican, since earlier this year when his admin rejected the College Board’s new #AfricanAmericanStudies course. The #curriculum included topics such as “#QueerStudies,” #reparations & the #BlackLivesMatter movement, & the admin objected, citing a #FloridaLaw limiting how #racism & other aspects of #history are taught in #PublicSchool.

Écoutez Geoffroy de #Lagasnerie à propos des procès : "Les juges voient bien qu’iels ne jugent que des pauvres, qu’iels ne jugent que des dominés, mais iels doivent pouvoir inventer des manières de juger quand même ; et de juger malgré la vérité du monde social. Un procès est un lieu qui invente une narration anti-sociologique du monde pour laisser l’appareil répressif d’État fonctionner."
"Le procès pénal est un moment où l’État construit le crime comme crime contre l’État."
"L’enlèvement n’est pas interdit en France ; ce qui est interdit c’est de le faire sans autorisation de l’État."
