🇮🇷 Iranian protesters violantly attacked by the government

Oh, sorry, wrong video.

🇮🇱 It's the self-described "only democracy in the Middle East" bashing 100s of anti-war protestors chanting slogans against Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on Saturday to protest the war with Iran

Pennycooks opposition to rent controls was welcomed by Kurt Mueller - Britain's largest listed private landlord

Tax Day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it | Zohran Mamdani, Gabriel Zucman and Joseph Stiglitz There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us

The murder spree continues.

The death toll is now up to 178.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

War criminal netanyahu is destroying towns in southern Lebanon without military reasoning, which is a punishable war crime.

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists Engineers link reduced lifespan of roads to shift to heavier cars, some bought to navigate damaged surfaces

'typical SUV exerts around five times more force on the road than typical passenger car'

As well as trashing our roads, they are a climate disaster and more dangerous for other road users

Time to introduce a special licence for people who actually need them?

Why is ICE allowed to freely murder & brutalize people? Racism.

Why can’t we truly progress as a society? Racism.

This Government both want us to believe they've played a leadership role here - and that they don't know the terms of the agreement.

It's simply not plausible.

While European Allies banned US use of their airspace, we've let bombers launch from the UK.

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

As many of us said, Gaza was the model, and when we failed to halt the wholesale destruction there, this became a permission structure to enact this on the rest of the world.

Starmer’s Iran war cover-up exposed YouTube video by Declassified UK

The focus on precision in debates around AI and new weapon technologies ignores that any military violence creates harm. And the speed and quantity of this harm is exponentially increasing.

Jared Kushner is seeking peace deals in the Middle East. He’s also raising money for his own firm | Mohamad Bazzi The president’s son-in-law is acting as an envoy even as he looks to secure billions for his company from foreign governments

Making Tax Digital is a big additional burden on small businesses

Here are some better tax changes:

Shut down the overseas territory tax havens
Abolish secret trusts where the rich hide their wealth from tax

HMRC should focus on the wealthy and those who use offshore not working people

But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

‘Weak and pathetic’: why is the EU not using its leverage to stop Israel? Deep divisions on Israel mean the union has failed to act over Lebanon, Gaza, or settler violence in the West Bank

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.

A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.

We are completely lost.

Western imperialism doesn't bring freedom.

It brings murderous chaos.
