These nauseating target ads reveal 3 related things: 1. Starmer bankrupted the party, so quantity not quality, cheap as possible 2. The media team is led by someone's talentless, 60-year-old uncle who fancies himself pretty savvy & his mate 3. The party considers their target voters brain dead

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

NEW: European Commission issues staff with burner phones & basic laptops for US trips, to avoid espionage. [FT] How far the US has fallen under Trump. The EU adopting a measure normally reserved for China. The US is now a security risk to its (former) allies.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

Canada says USA no longer the centre of trade, France calls for a cessation of investment in USA. Starmer looks around, and re-iterates that his father was a toolmaker.

And here we go…👇 We. Are. So. Fucked. ✨

It's a tragedy.

@AJEnglish: Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee says its forces have opened fire in Gaza despite the ceasefire, stating they "will take whatever action is necessary to remove the immediate threat." 🔴 LIVE updates: https://t.co/wLNspTLLIK

It's an amazing process we're going through — The decline of the U.S. empire. The decline of American capitalism. And the whole thing covered over with a level of denial that is pathological.

Israeli settlers have set vehicles and properties on fire under the protection of Israeli forces while also injuring several Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.

Every London march against Israeli genocide has a large contingent of Jewish people Equating Judaism and Zionism is a lie & a scam Meme via Mark Strawbridge

Alienation on steroids. Minimum wage goes up, what do the greedy CEOs of supermarkets do? Sack workers and replace them with robots. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Israel abducted another 60 yesterday.

Hundreds of outsourced workers have today announced further strike action across Whitehall. PCS union: The members are employed by G4S and ISS in five government departments as security guards, receptionists, cleaners, porters and other roles. They will walk out for six days from February 3 or 4

Chinese people asked Americans a simple question on Red Note:

Reminds me how NATO simps tried hard to convince the world that openly Nazi groups in Ukraine were in fact innocent pagans.

Zionists upset Hamas treated hostages too well.

I wonder if all the people who regularly trumpet their opinions on freedom in Iran, Russia, and China, will have anything to say…

Fucking hell

£63,000 per week for ONE child in care. Who do you suppose foots the bill for this,which will involve many layers of management & corruption? Exactly the type of privatisation the government has planned for the NHS. They are also selling out the UK to Black Rock. Why aren't people protesting?

Libs chose right wing nationalist Zionism and killing kids over everyone and now they’re looking around wondering why they lost everything.

This is dangerous misinformation: “Now there’s a ceasefire, we can get aid in.” The humanitarian system delivers during wars because laws and customs protect aid workers & supply trucks. Israel violated these laws repeatedly—and not one Western state acted to enforce them.

ISIS claims responsibility for #Moscow attack. Just remembering who the boss of ISIS is...🇺🇸 @latuff.bsky.social

Your silence is support. Tom's mother Jocelyn: "From the moment that Tom was shot, we said it wasn't about the soldier, but about the responsibility of the Israeli army and its lack of accountability over civilian killings. The British government needs to hold Israel accountable for its actions."

#SpotTheScammer @stephentownsend77.bsky.social - claiming to be "an orthopaedic surgeon doctor" and using stolen pics of Prof Dr Rodrigo Gimenez, whose images are in prolific use by scammers. This is his (verified) Instagram account. www.instagram.com/gimenez

The BBC is the biggest and most successful propagandist on the planet (possibly apart from the CIA).

Dogs have a strong sense of smell and can pick up on changes in a person's scent that indicate death. They can also detect other changes, like a person's breathing or heartbeat stopping. Dogs can become depressed after a death, similar to how humans grieve. #DogsOfBlueSky ❤️.

Quite something!

Security forces of the Palestinian Authority chased a Palestinian approximately 200 meters away from the settlement of 'Mevo'ot Yericho' north of #Jericho in the Jordan Valley at dawn today, in an area classified as 'C' under the Oslo Accords and killed him. #Westbank #Palestine

Tories and Labour are on same team. Starmer's fake Labour party is beholden to Zionism, billionaires and large corporations.

Capitalism is the ludicrous idea that if we just let the greediest bastards act in the greediest way possible, things will somehow work out for the best.

If anybody else did this would we ever hear the end of it?

Mercadier said"We were handcuffed, blindfolded & mistreated for over 4 hours" I was beaten "on the ground" & Fayyad was hit "on the back of the skull by a gun stock". He added that the Israeli forces stole his sim card, camera memory cards & $200 from Fayyad. This is what so many support or ignore.
