@yashalevine.bsky.social saying it straight. "Give up your biblical-nationalist fantasies before it is too late. We all live in one world. We’re all connected. Continuing on this path will only bring ruin and death." www.nefariousrussians.com/p/a-letter-t...

My campaign office unfortunately has to hire security as an individual is regularly vandalizing it. This is in addition to a Republican calling our office the “Home of Hezbollah”. Security is an unplanned expense but we want this to be a safe place. If you’re able, help us offset the costs below ⬇️

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is the most documented blanket in the history of blankets

Lol. When I was there so many of the overseas students were like this— the future royals, or oligarchs, or, um, generals/dictators of their countries. It’s going to be very funny if all his corrupt friends start panic calling Trump because their kids are shut out.

Israeli forces have targeted the generators of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza.

How long can this sticking-his-fingers-in-his-ears-singing-la-la-la-can't-hear-you-at-the-top-of-his-lungs approach persist!?!? He was a human rights lawyer for goodness sake. It's embarrassing.

War on the poor. If the DWP makes error and overpays certain benefits, the Bill allows Ministers to recover money from the claimant’s bank account. No court order is needed. What if benefit claimants can't afford to repay, or face hardship? No equivalent law for fraudsters and scammers.

🔴Keir Starmer’s Reform-Lite Strategy Has Left Him Marooned on an Island of Strangers New polling finds support for the Prime Minister among Labour voters collapsing, as he pursues a strategy that is also failing to win over supporters of Reform, reports Adam Bienkov bylinetimes.com/2025/05/16/k...

'FAFO' is the Israel right-or-wrong crew saying that the slaughter in Gaza is the ‘finding out’ bit of Hamas ‘fucking around’ on October 7. And it is jaw-dropping in its humanity-stripping callousness rachelshabi.substack.com/p/gaza-and-t...

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Asar. Asar is the mother of four children, Kareem, Quasi, Waleed and baby Seela who is only a few weeks old. Asar has been on my list to share for a while but she didn’t have a fundraiser but luckily this week was able to get one made ❤️

Jan 2024: The International Court of Justice orders Israel to protect Palestinians from the risk of genocide Dec 2024: @amnesty.org finds sufficient evidence to conclude that Israeli authorities’ conduct in Gaza amounts to genocide May 2025: The UK government ⬇️

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

Political parties banned from Manchester, London, Birmingham and Brighton Prides this year. Statements in the images.

It goes without saying that many Labour MPs will deep down find Starmer's immigration rhetoric nauseating. It is up to them to stand up and be counted, rather than face having their careers peter out into cowardly ignominy.

'I don't want people to be taken back to Libya but it is the only way we can act'. This is how @frontex.bsky.social Director recently justified Frontex's collaboration with Libya. This is pure manipulation, as we explain in today’s Altreconomia article. 🧵👇🏿 altreconomia.it/non-vorrei-r...

More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico. CBP agents *confiscated her seizure meds.* That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse. Keep reposting. Keep raising hell. Be a voice for the voiceless. #OnYourSide

Great observation. I have thought that he looks like a coronary waiting to happen. One can only but hope.

❓How do you get Steve Reed the Environment Secretary to listen to your concerns about the private water industry? ❗⚽Meet him on his home turf.⚽❗ Lois is inviting Steve Reed to the football - fat cat water bosses can do it, so why shouldn't she? #Loisatthepalace

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

Guys Sakher and @reemosama9.bsky.social got engaged!! This is literally the best engagement photo I think I’ve ever seen. Send them a wedding present if you can so they can start a life together gofund.me/f3c47b6c

It was under Lt. Col. Ben Aharon’s command that an Israeli tank unit attacked the civilian vehicle of Hind's family, executing all occupants & later destroyed the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance & crew dispatched to rescue her. Make Ben infamous. He needs to answer for his warcrimes. #HindRajab

The glove puppet has changed but the hand remains the same.

Among other revelations, an Israeli arms factory has its own intelligence cell that hold bi-weekly meetings with police who then prosecute people it doesn't like. How is this allowed to happen? www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/foi-docume...
