And they accuse liberals of indoctrination!

Bold prediction: Cancelling of Pay Equity is a much bigger deal than Nats thought it would be, it'll slow burn into the next election & will cost the Nats enough support bled to Labour to go out Greens & TPM will be in a strong position to form govt From most right to most left govt ever #NZPol

This is actually hilarious.

The implication here from the BBC is that al-Najjar children could’ve been legitimate targets if their parents had ties to Hamas. Children are not targets. We must side with the child over the bomb every single time, no matter whose bomb and no matter whose child. Every time.

Yes, we got a tip when the $TRUMP whales (biggest buyers of his crypto) were going to show up Friday at the White House for their VIP tour and The NYT was there. We had a list with their names. So we knew who they were. But they did not want to chat. I still tried...

One of the great under-reported stories of Trump’s ignorance (insanity?) is that for years he has made repeated comments about stealth fighters which suggest he believes they are literally invisible in the sky. His weirdness cannot be overstated.

Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar, a pediatrician at Nasser Hospital has just received the charred remains of her 7 children: 1- Yahya Hamdi Al-Najjar 2- Rakan Hamdi Al-Najjar 3- Ruslan Hamdi Al-Najjar 4- Jubran Hamdi Al-Najjar 5- Hawaa Hamdi Al-Najjar 6- Rivan Hamdi Al-Najjar 7- Sydeen Hamdi Al-Najjar

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

đź”´ There are explosions in the centre of Kyiv - Mayor Klitschko says 20 drones loom over the Ukrainian capital. That must be the Russian peace memorandum.

Trump’s like a controlling father telling the kids there’s no money for the movies but buying himself a sports car to use just at weekends.

This will, of course, terrorize all international students. One cannot simply "transfer" between schools & cities/states, uproot lives abroad, establish new roots to... risk deportation from another US institution for whatever the next threat is from Noem? And do not sleep on this part.. đź§µ

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

Just nonstop crimes in broad daylight

Ireland, Is it true that ICE are routing kidnap victims of many nationalities through Shannon Airport, to Djibouti to be kicked across the border into the war zone of South Sudan? Perhaps the most dangerous place in the world? #ireland #warcrimes #Shannon

this is about the size of it....⤵️⤵️⤵️

Paul Durcan quoted by Mary Robinson in her inauguration speech (Nov 1990) as President of Ireland when talking about Ireland's emigrants : Yet I have no choice but to leave, to leave, And yet there is nowhere I more yearn to live Than in my own wild countryside Backside to the wind

RTÉ requests breakdown of Eurovision public votes after high points awarded to Israel

Do you want more cats in your feed but hate image scrapers? Here is my starter pack that is all cat accounts run by real people, posting content that is non-stolen, non-AI images of their own cats or cat artwork with ALT text! go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

Shortly before this post I spoke to a trauma surgeon who told me about a teenager he’d saved in Nasser Hospital and was due to be discharged a few hours AFTER Israel bombed them. A child saved to be murdered. That happened in March 2024. We went way beyond unbearable a long time ago, Tanaiste.

Right? It’s just absurd that the media won’t address this.

WHEN is his mental acuity going to become a topic for mainstream media?

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

we really do need to be honest about whether the current president is capable of doing the job jd

If @msnbc is going to have random physicians who have never treated Biden speculating about him, maybe they can find some to speculate about Trump’s apparent medical issues.

At Frida Kahlo’s house today I was asked to remove my hat which fine, all respect to the goddess, except the men wearing hats got to keep their on and idk that that is the take away from her life. Anyway, here are some of her dresses

I just watched the Eurovision final tonight. It was even more obvious how rigged it is. I won’t watch again … how sad @eurovision.tv @israel @cheats @bribes @fear

Yay! I just watched the finals of the Eurovision! Which was wonderful ❤️. Apart from the … you know.

Trump administration's idea according to NBC: to relocate one million Palestinians to Libya, in exchange for funds for Libya and some incentives for the Palestinians - no words left to describe international politics today

A message from my friend Tasneem in Gaza: "The bombing is terrifying, like an earthquake. The sound of tanks is approaching us... Pray for us, we are scared." We are their only support system for food and escape. Please give at the link if you can. And share 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/help-tasne...
