Big up to the legend who swam out to Crab Island off the coast of Doolin today to put up this flag and pole. Great sight for the tourists on their boat trips. #TheBannerStandsWithPalestine

I once had a student who suddenly stopped coming to class. For six weeks, no sign of him. Then one day, he was back. When I asked him he told me had been disappeared by the police who mixed his name up with someone else. This was Sisi’s Egypt. Khalil was gone for three months.

"Good intentions have gone awry"?? FFS.

Thank you. Now do you believe me when I say doctors and scientists are literally not able to exercise free speech? You know what’s worse… it’s mostly the good ones that stick to this rule. The misinfo-mongers… you can’t stop them flooding the space with nonsense.

Retracted a year on - after the damage is long done.

We’re going to get another stupid war in the Middle East, aren’t we? With the decades of fallout (possibly literally this time) to deal with.

A US federal judge has ordered the release of 20-yr-old US citizen Adrian Martinez who was kidnapped by Trump regime forces. Miller Law Group: "Adrian did nothing wrong, and was standing up for an elderly janitorial worker when he was violently assaulted and abducted by masked federal agents.” #3E

He's blocking people who call him out on that shit.. someone *dos need to check hi hard drive..

I would never say that You just did. You utter garbage Both are vile and gross. SH or rape? You have *no idea what SH means, do you? That shit will stay with her for her whole life. You need to educate yourself *fast, for the sake of your daughter. Go on. People will help. Fast. Go.

Yes, you did....

You *did say that. You utter ...

They'd rather have their daughter sexually harrassed than raped? WTF? Do they even know what those descriptors mean? FFS... Utter bastard. That is *NOT a choice. Educate men and boys: You do *not behave this way. You just don't. That's not how decent, normal people behave. Don't. Just no.

🙏🇺🇦 Zelensky: Most of the soldiers returning from Russian captivity today have been there for over two years. ‼️ These are the defenders of Mariupol, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions. Soldiers of AFU, National Guard, and Border Guard.

JD Vance, the biggest fascist of them all, is coming to LA to co-splay as commander of the Marine Corp. & National Guard occupation in #LosAngeles. Let our elected reps in to review detention centers dammit. Stop kidnapping citizens from grocery store/church parking lots! ktla.com/news/califor...

In case we needed one, here’s a good reminder that a lot more of our ground floor building edge (aka “the city at eye-level”) can be more vibrant & engaging. Or it’s just a good picture from my Paris apartment this week (it helps a lot when cars aren’t there, but Paris has this with cars too).

I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist

There are no longer ‘military targets’ in Palestine every Palestinian is a target. We are killed simply for existing, for opening our eyes in the morning, for daring to dream, to love, to play. No one is spared from the killing machine: the athlete, the child, the doctor, the student.

WTF did I just read? Asbestos? The stuff a seller has to declare if it's in the house they're selling? Needs specialist teams to remove because it's lethal? F'kin' 'ell....

Oh dear. That does somewhat dent Starmer's £5 billion attack on disabled people.

seems bad

I am getting very, very fed up with Madame Moldy. She's privileged, wealthy, and goes after a minority group because of her own MH issues? I've read her BS reasons. She needs to educate herself, get some help, and leave trans kids & people the fuck alone. She's causing suicide. That's vile.

Much welcomed guidance from the Chief Coroner of England and Wales.

They do. All kids deserve to live. The fact that we have to say this about trans kids... who the fuck made this necessary? Madame moldy?

UK: charity shops. Tried to buy clothes today. No changing rooms. Refund if it doesn't fit. Can't afford that. £3/item cheapest. My budget was £20. The one shop where I could try clothes: 10 items tried. 3 bought. Remaining shops: no trying, no buying. This policy *will cost charity.1/2

I don’t have to tell you how bad it is. If you’re like me, you approach each day’s news with a knot in your stomach. The question I keep asking myself (and others) is how will this Trumpian daymare end? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-how-the-hell-will-this

What a very large surprise.

Sometimes I think of what Graham Norton (actual National Treasure) said, and then remember how he was run off Twitter by the Moldemort hordes for saying such blasphemy, but that's never mentioned as an example of "cancel culture" (I can find only a handful of news articles that mention his quote)

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Whoa Black Betty

Wake up, check the world hasn't ended, onto the routine of the day

Good morning, cheer up

This is a recount from a reporter who attended Trump’s parade. You should check it out. She describes Trump’s supporters enduring “real misery” before the parade even started. Contrast that w/the millions of us who enthusiastically endured heat and rain to protest Trump and stand up for democracy.

the replies are calling you out for misgendering and providing zero evidence but trying to slyly imply that holybible is some kind of sex pest bc some mutual you simp for is upset with her. i don’t even follow holybible, but you know what you’re doing is entirely transparent right?

Mmmm “Gor was born on November 30, 1986,[8] allegedly in Cospicua, Malta, though the Maltese government denied having those records. At age 12, in 1999, he emigrated to the United States with his family.[9]” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_...

Actually seeing this exchange is so much worse: "We don't think article 8 rights applies and neither does the supreme court or the previous legal advice that we've taken" Breathtaking..

Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone. He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

Interesting stuff: Israel is not a democracy but an ethnocracy and a regime of messianic genocidal apartheid. What Charles Enderlin says is known by everyone, but only a franco-israelien Jew can say it without accusation of anti-semitism.
