‘A quiet, radical act’: Muslim neighbours support members of attacked London synagogue After attempted arson attack, communities are determined to remain resilient and open

Read the article to restore your faith in everything. This is why I love the UK, specifically London, specifically Finchley.

Posting this on the Finchley synagogue (very near us)

Important to share, I think.

I’m really shocked that 10 hours after Trump declared total victory nothing has changed from yesterday.

“Jesus told us, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” — Pope Leo XIV today in Cameroon

Donald Trump may not play a doctor in an internet meme of Jesus, but he *murdered* one in the streets of America.

Charlotte Clymer: In the past week, Donald Trump has threatened nuclear war against Iran, called for the genocide of 93 million Iranians, publicly attacked the Pope, and compared himself to Jesus Christ. Recall July of 2024 when every pundit and reporter in American media were urging President Biden to step down due to concerns over his cognitive health. Where are those voices now? Where are the demands for Trump to be removed? Where is the flood of op-eds and cable news panels and social media posts calling for the 25th Amendment to be triggered? Why are you all so silent on this?

Pope Leo says he has "no fear of the Trump administration" and will continue to speak out after the president criticized his Iran war comments. https://cnn.it/47ZJ99n

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

It has happened: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat. Péter Magyar wins the elections and is set to become the next prime minister of Hungary.

Orbán's 16 uninterrupted years in power have come to an end. A brand-new age begins.

Easter Kyiv today.

And Russian shills keep telling people Christianity is “banned” in Ukraine.

‼️⚡️175 Ukrainian Defenders and 7 civilians return from Russian captivity!

Our people are returning home.
Among them are wounded. Most of them had been in Russian captivity since 2022. Finally, they are home.

Very moved by the peace vigil from Rome.

Zohran Mamdani on Iran War:

We are speaking about a war that has killed thousands of civilians.

We are spending tens of billions of dollars to kill people. Money that could be making life easier for working people.

The battle against Trump is a battle against genocide iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

Britain breaks solar energy record twice as UK’s biggest solar farm gets approval Record high set on Monday and raised on Tuesday, with 14.4GW of electricity generated in sunny spring weather

Clean, safe, cheap, renewable energy that you don't have to fight deadly wars or destroy the environment to get.

Good for wildlife, too, when done properly.

Same.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.

For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Matt Frei, "First Donald trump solemnly vowed to bomb Iran back to the stone age if they don't open the strait of Hormuz"

"Today he warned that a whole civilisation will die tonight never to be brought back again"

"What ever happened to his pledge to liberate people from their brutal oppressors?"

FIFA introduces the FIFA Peace Prize - an award to recognise exceptional actions for peace and unity

hope everyone is feeling peaceful and unified

Trump may not carry out the threat.

But the fact he even made such a threat means he should immediately be removed from office.

For that is the purpose of a constitution with checks and balances.

Big contrast

This is my city Lviv — a place that faced an attack just weeks ago. And yet, today, Ukrainians returned here to celebrate Easter. They came with hope, with faith, with a belief in peace and unity.
