Call it what it is: terrorism.

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement. What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections. My latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I rant about this a lot but I can’t for the life of me understand why BBC 6 Music News gives a daily update of how many people crossed the channel in small boats yesterday From a news values perspective alone, it makes no sense

Meanwhile in Ukraine, where reality of Rusamerican betrayal of Europe has been digested & getting appropriate response. Watch & learn, dear Europeans - and help. Speaking of help, dear anti-fascists, today would be a very good day to help fund Ukraine's defence with a regular donation to U24 👇

Toronto, Ontario, Vancouver, BC, and 1000 cities around the world will be marching in solidarity with our friends in the USA for the No Kings mass protest. Since Canada does actually have a king, we are calling it No Tyrants Day. 💪 www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

"Convincing a jury of 12 NJ citizens, most likely the congresswoman’s own constituents, that she assaulted an ICE officer and made him fear for his safety beyond a reasonable doubt, is another matter. McIver will also have a powerful defense in the Speech or Debate Clause." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Spot the giraffe in Sheffield city centre 👀

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

See Image 3. Remember: Entire frameworks of British politics, social and cultural life were shifted violently rightward to ensure the safety and comfort of these groups. These are the people for whom it was all done. These are who British politicians and institutions insisted we make feel ‘safe’.

NGOs take legal action on UK government, over selling arms to Israel NGOs and rights groups are taking the British government to court on May 13th, claiming the country has violated international law by arming Israel, according to Middle East Eye via AFP The Palestinian rights organisation,…

Middle East Eye publicou um artigo mostrando q, a partir de 2016, começou rolar capital de empresas chinesas na Cisjordânia Ocupada, a começar p/ aquisição por um chinês de uma empresa ligada a um colono de extr-direita. Como mostrei anteriormente, a Rússia possui os maiores de seus investimentos

"It is not possible for a humanitarian organisation, which truly respects the basic humanitarian principles, to adhere to such a scheme." UNRWA Lazzarini to Middle East Eye on Israel’s supply scheme in #Gaza. www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

Schon wieder Raiffeisen und Russland! Die Türkei bezahlt ihre milliardenschweren russischen Gas-Importe künftig über die Raiffeisenbank, berichtet Middle East Eye. Mit Gas wird der Krieg finanziert. Wann zieht sich Raiffeisen endlich aus der Kriegsverbrecher-Diktatur Russland zurück?

If there's one thing future generations will remember about us, it is that we stood by and watched as a genocidal state committed the most horrific crimes against humanity, wiping out entire bloodlines right before our eyes.

800 Lawyers have NOW called on UK PM Keir Starmer to sanction Israel now. 👉 In the last few weeks, world-leading genocide researchers and academics from Israel, the Netherlands, the US, UK, Australia, Croatia and Canada say Israel's conduct meets the legal threshold of genocide - Middle East Eye

World leaders can see that israel is about to complete their genocide, so they are desperately trying to get on the correct side of history. They facilitated this genocide. NEVER FORGET.

On Fri, Middle East Eye reported that Turkey intends to route future natural gas import payments to Russia through Raiffeisen Bank International. The scheme risks prolonging a revenue lifeline for the Kremlin. Read BankTrack and @b4ukraine.org's analysis: www.banktrack.org/blog/raiffei...

Hmph. Think Starmer will listen? Solidarity with all these musicians, singers, writers and actors. #StopArmingIsrael
