I'm the type of person who, when out walking, as someone's coming towards me using a cool branch as a walking stick, I'll point and say "that's a good stick" and smile, and expect them to say "yeah it is!", and I know this because that's the interaction I've just had, and it wasn't my first time.
Every Middle Easterner who knows anything is going to be warning the world that you cannot trust Israel while we get ignored while Israel triggers another war and fucks it all up again.
Understand this if nothing else: Israeli politics needs war. That’s how they resolve tensions between them.
400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

When I see "biological reality" in a headline I've learned to assume it's going to be scientifically illiterate transphobia but no, on this occasion it's about women's duty to have children for the good of the fatherland.

A reminder that as Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper had so little confidence in pushing a ban on Palestine Action through parliament in July 2025 that she bundled it together with the neo-Nazi "Maniacs Murder Cult" and then refused MPs the right to vote on each separately.
The state must drop the ban
The Met acknowledged that the “unusual circumstances” may cause some confusion among the public as to what happens next, it said that officers will “continue to identify offences where support for Palestine Action is being expressed, but they will focus on gathering evidence of those offences and the people involved to provide opportunities for enforcement at a later date, rather than making arrests at the time”. It added: “This is the most proportionate approach we can take, acknowledging the decision reached by the court while recognising that proceedings are not yet fully concluded.
The Met is keeping receipts for "enforcement at a later date" in case the Home Office's appeal succeeds.
Would he like them if they were painted gold do you think

A Jewish MP was banned from a school because he was Jewish - or so our government and media have suggested.
That is a total lie.
This is yet another cause of how Israel's apologists are shamelessly deceiving you 👇

This is why I bowed out of so much social media, every so often I get dragged back into the swirling vortex of shite and it does literally nothing to help anyone.
This shit again with the fascist football thugs being told that no, actually, they can't come to B'ham to terrorise people like they did in Amsterdam. Can we not talk about the harms of the police, or how fucked their use of AI is, without unintentionally propping up genocidaires? No, apparently not
It's all so unhinged you struggle to even discuss it without getting dragged into the mess yourself, and so dragging the fight for Palestinian liberation down with you. Which is of course the political work all this is doing, via these MPs and the media. It's beyond grotesque.
This thing with a couple of zionist MPs trying to visit local schools, and various teachers and parents apparently (and rightly) not wanting enthusiastic supporters of the israeli genocide of Palestine around said schools.
And I know everyone's familiar with this bit of the problem but: it's hard to even discuss the realities without helping the lies propagate.
Look I don't expect any better but still, I caught a bit of PMQs and my god the whiplash. Knowing the general facts behind an event then seeing the outright lies as things are presented/discussed in parliament, and understanding that the lies are told in order to further a genocide, is a head fuck.
"ICE just needs more training" is the Democrats preparing in advance to put more immigrants into concentration camps when they take power
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Short sound bite for UK leftist pundits today- the UK has long shown what it will do to peaceful protestors against the regime when it hates them, it will send in the paratroopers and they will shoot them dead, smear them as criminals then deny them justice via every means possible, for decades.
ngl the more people get breathless about this being unthinkable along with the more clear it becomes that eg EU will do absolutely nothing in response to what happened in Venezuela… the more it seems obvious they try to do an insane hamfisted maneuver for Greenland.
Yes, America is undermining the basis of international law. But it's doing so by calling everyone else's bluff. If you say "hi I'm Mr Crimes I'm here to do a bunch of crimes and nobody will stop me because the police are fake," and the police really don't show up, then you're objectively right.
Things fall apart, the centre of the pyjama pants ass cannot hold.
All matter tends toward entropy, all pyjama pants split in the ass.

Thinking about Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti this morning as the news comes in about Venezuela. The word “empire” is not an exaggeration. This is how it regularly defines itself.
I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
