An everyday story of the brutality of the Israeli Jewish state and its forces in Gaza. If to point this out is anti-semitic, and it comes from Haaretz, then anti-semitism has ceased to have meaning. www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...

During the last attack they hit a bomb shelter in Kyiv. Directly. So my question is where tf do we even hide from them now Or just stick to the attested strategy of “ignore & ball”

Per the UN, Russian drone operators are picking off Ukrainian civilians “like it is a video game” — then bombing ambulances that go to help… then sharing videos of it on telegram. Trump today on the consequences: “words speak pretty loud” 🤔 www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

“The half-century after Watergate was America’s most democratic.” The era ended when Trump targeted both partisan opposition and civil society. “Americans are living under a new regime. The question now is whether we will allow it to take root.” Resistance “has been underwhelming — alarmingly so.”

This should be the final nail in the coffin for Thames Water. It needs to be turned into a public benefit company and Ofwat needs to be scrapped and replaced with a real regulator with teeth.

Ukrainian (former) POW shared some of the torture methods used by Russia. Subtitles are in English. It is not graphic, yet it is a tough read.

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

By any reasonable definition, southern Gaza is now a concentration camp. Or, as the New York Times would call it, “an Israeli-backed Aid Distribution Site”.

“Why did burning girls matter in Vietnam but not in Gaza?” The 'Napalm Girl' photo shocked the world and helped end the Vietnam War, writes @jehadabusalim.bsky.social for Zeteo, but a child surrounded by flames and other similar images in Gaza can't even provoke a ceasefire. Read/share/subscribe:

This is what it's like to live in a racist society. If the perpetrator is white, they're just some lone madman whose actions have no political implication. If they're an immigrant - in particular a dark-skinned Muslim immigrant - they represent their group and are part of a political attack.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

Streeting's been caught with his pants on fire. He says a shortage of GP's is holding back NHS appointments and the time it takes to train them is years away. The BMA knows there is no shortage of GP's, the opposite in fact. There is a lack of commitment by the government to employ them.

Important to note that none of UN Humanitarian Organisations recognise this approach to 'aid' as principled or abiding by neutrality required. It is using mercenaries and for-profit mechanisms to deliver aid in ways which increase suffering of Palestinian people, are deeply undignified and dangerous
