Genocidal Israel further advances illegal, discriminatory bill to execute only Palestinian and other Arab prisoners. Intensify BDS campaigns now, in particular against HP, Microsoft and Cisco to hold companies accountable for helping Israel’s carceral system.

it's fun to put a country under embargo and then accuse it of wilfully starving its people

Please explain to me how telling children gay people exists harms them.

watching these two Christian Nationalists have a conversation and see if you can spot the part where I spit coffee all over my screen.

The UK gov needs to change its “extremely damaging” narrative that suggests disabled people are an “economic burden” & move away from threats & sanctions, if it wants to increase disability employment, MPs have been told by Disabled people’s organisations (DPOs).

The Labour Govt oppose a modest wealth tax on the assets of the Super-Rich yet they are happy to seize the assets of asylum-seekers who have little to nothing.

Keir Starmer has betrayed every value & principle that the Labour Party was set-up to represent.

Four images of Elon Musk not looking as is described by his AI tool Grok

This isn't a body shaming post, it's a post to show how unreliable Grok is, over at the other place.

Birmingham council tried to slash workers wages & when the workers responded by taking industrial action the council decided to bring in scab labour to try & break the strike. Those agency workers are now going on strike too.

A short history of the UN’s complicity in Israel’s mass rape propaganda since October 7 Why the UN Secretary-General’s recent decision to blacklist Hamas, and not Israel, as perpetrators of sexual violence, flies in the face of the UN’s own evidence.

Do you notice how Israeli politicians don’t feel there’s any need to conceal how repellent their politics are? Do you see how they are correct, there is no need to conceal it, because for two years they’ve been snorting at TV interviewers and telling them LOL fuck you, often with racist remarks.

Keir Starmer in June: "I've also spoken to the Emir of Qatar to express our solidarity after Iran's unacceptable attack"

So you'll be confirming you've spoken to the Emir of Qatar to express your solidarity after Israels unacceptable attack, right?

Ibrahim al Khalili reports on the struggle to get water in Gaza.

The head of Ofcom: the BBC has had some own goals "with the Gaza documentary & the Glastonbury coverage"

The Centre for Media Monitoring produced a detailed report last month showing the BBC is systematically biased against Palestinians in its coverage of Gaza. But Ofcom doesn't care about that.

All of the institutions that were set up after World War II, to prevent tyrants from creating the conditions which could bring about another world war, have been broken by those, who set the institutions, so they themselves can bring about the conditions for another world war.

Again, they believe this because it’s true: their leaders and the hangers on around government have been visibly fighting a losing battle against reality for seventeen years, and they will never admit it or concede defeat. They will gladly embrace Generalissimo Nigel before they ever do that.

I mean, are the public wrong? All the long term trends indicate they’re going to get fucking rinsed for the rest of their lives, and America and Europe have deliberately reintroduced genocide of whole populations as a tool of military policy.

All this stuff is absolutely consistent with the Thatcherite bonfire sputtering out in 2008 and that ever since, we have been desperately chucking everything we own onto the fire in an effort to keep it burning.

"We have politicians, like Keir Starmer, who prefer to follow public opinion rather than lead and shape opinion" Mic Wright

This is a deep part of the problem. Our leaders are followers, not leaders. Whatever happened to leadership?

FBI Director Kash Patel has forced senior officials to reveal, under polygraph tests, whether they have ever said anything bad about him, The New York Times reported on Thursday.

Why isn’t there a “coalition of the willing” to stop the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza?

Keir Starmer is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people. He totally supports Israel. What kind of human being refuses medical treatment to maimed and injured children?
