You will have to excuse me for not been very enthused that the the U.K. has sanctioned literally the worst Israeli knesset members, when there are loads of other really bad ones, who just hide it a bit better

well, it turns out that 16 weeks of getting the dogshit hazed out of you and jumped into a gang where the most important thing is Do What You Are Told and Never Betray The Gang is more powerful than my fantasy version of American values! back to the ol' drawing board, I guess 😅

part of the problem is that even if dems win in 2028, a program of reconstruction 2.0 basically ends up running into the problem reconstruction 1.0 did: the fact that no one has the will to make the structural reforms required

Quite a few liberals accused me of hysterical hyperbole when I made this poster, because of course Labour would be less genocidal than the Tories. In reality, Labour ministers have massively ramped up arms sales to Israel and are backing the genocide to the hilt

Consistent at least: if you are an annoying whiner, why don’t you just go away, resign, leave us alone or die? It’s always “Oooh, you’ve cut off my disability payments, I’m starving, I don’t want to get suffocated in a burning high rise, please stop facilitating genocide”. Student politics nonsense.

"Trump's 'flood the zone' tactics...are new and shocking to most people in the United States. To those with histories, families, and familiarity with dynamics in most Latin American countries, however, they are old hat. They haven’t only seen these tactics before, they have beaten them."

Correct. It was literally never about illegal immigration.

Democratic elected officials should be out leading protests against Trump's authoritarianism. They need to start acting like our freedom, lives, and way of life is on the line. They are.

Meanwhile if a counter protestor is waving an Israeli flag it's because they have legitimate concerns about antisemitism and not because the blue and white Magen David has become an international symbol of white supremacy.

It's funny, if you'd said that the BBC's news output was unduly influenced by political allegiance to the right wing at any point between 2015-2019 you'd be denounced as a communist conspiracy theorist and a racist. Now it's all out in the open.

May all on board be safe. Liam Cunningham said the Madleen was "loaded with the stuff the Tel Aviv regime will not allow into Gaza. So, it's got crutches, it's got antibiotics, baby formula, it's even got a 3D-printed prosthetic baby's arm." www.rte.ie/news/ireland... #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm

They detained Greta Thunberg for standing with Gaza. They seized the Freedom Flotilla—carrying food, not weapons. They arrested peaceful ICE protesters in LA. None of this is normal. All of it is authoritarianism in plain sight.

"hundreds of those imprisoned for arriving in the UK on small boats since 2022 were refugees and victims of trafficking and torture, in breach of international law. It said at least 17 children had been arrested and charged with “facilitation”, for having their hand on the tiller of a dinghy."

I don't think any pundit actually knows what growth is. Every time I watch a new show, everybody thinks growth comes from more of the things they like and getting rid of the things they don't like. It's fucking absurd.

What Hadley means here is that she is aware the genocide is making her previous wingnut enthusiasm for it look very bad, and she’d like it to wind down now while she can still retain 99% of her crankery archive.ph/E1vxH

Feels like this FT article on UK tax is a bit too vibes-based. UK taxes are unremarkable in European context. Our tax wedge is in the lower third of OECD countries. Our 24% higher CGT rate is lower than many European countries. Where the UK does stand out is the cost of housing and childcare.

Israeli Telegram has some comments about the latest massacre: “A blessed meal is not required to start the morning of Shabbat.” “Start bombing Nazi population centers in Gaza, killing as many as possible … until the total destruction of the entire Nazi population in Gaza.” t.me/firstreports...

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.
