@AJEnglish Al Jazeera’s Heidi Pett says journalist Amal Khalil received threats from an Israeli WhatsApp number during the last war, warning her to stop reporting or leave Lebanon “if she wanted her head to remain on her shoulders,” before being killed today in an Israeli attack.

Israel has killed more journalists than any other nation in history.

More than the total number of journalists killed during the U.S. Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined.

"We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

Remember it is a privilege to afford an increase to fuel price, carers allowance is not increased to allow for increased fuel prices. The conversations around carers have not mentioned if fuel is so expensive that you cannot put fuel in your car. 🚗

I wonder what they chatted about. Wrong answers only.

The Evidence That Trump Is War Profiteering Is Growing By the Day Trump did an unprecedentedly astonishing about-face on launching America into endless war in the Middle East. His fealty to Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't sufficiently explain it—but boundless greed does.

(🚨) NEW: This whole war is a scam. Quite possibly a treasonous one.

In case you missed it ...
Here's a very powerful and poignant statement for peace and the end of vengeance from Mandy Patinkin. He warns that Netanyahu's madness in Gaza (and now across the region) is undermining both the State of Israel and the safety of all Jews around the world.

The Truth About Trickle-Down Economics

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

When they restart prosecutions in The Hague for war crimes, I want the death penalty reimposed for the architects of policies resulting in mass civilian casualties, as well as anyone authorizing “no quarter”.

As smart devices multiply, so do fears over digital surveillance We are living in a time of extreme self surveillance. We carry with us devices that capture our every location, info about our health, and data about our private lives. This information can be saved, ...

“In his new book Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Self-Surveillance, George Washington University law professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson warns that digital life is creating a form of self-surveillance far beyond what constitutional law was built to handle.”

Hope to be around long enough to see justice being served to all the war mongers for their war crimes 😔

Surely you know me well enough to know that I will say I don’t want anything when in reality I want you to get me a lovely surprise 🩷

Isn't it interesting all the same how these people are never arrested and questioned, but a random brown person can be locked up indefinitely without trial or probably cause?

Same. When will it end

No mention of illness which is in my experience the big driver of absenteeism in this house. Bugs are knocking the kids out for longer & when coughing & sneezing not sending kids in to spread the bugs to their classmates 🤷‍♀️

Eastern Europe says it is chilly and North America says “hold my beer” while the Aussies look for a cold one. A contrast of temperatures this Sunday.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Now we’re talking.
