This is actually a Byline Times story, their site was victim to DDoS shortly after it was posted, so they reposted to their Substack backup. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-c...

My new watetmelon t-shirt, which represents my solidarity with Palestinians and my belief in a peaceful and free Palestine.

Starmer throws milkshake over himself to win back Farage supporters 🤣 lcdviews.com/2025/02/08/s...

This is shameful 😥 Deporting people won't make your life better. Only redistribution of wealth will. Why are Labour joining in the hate game? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell. But they can lock up non-violent Just Stop Oil protestors for more than 60 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Foggy Bristol morning!

The current death toll from Israel's genocide in Gaza has been revised to 62,000 and will continue to grow as those missing under the rubble are confirmed dead. This devastation of Palestinian life has been fully backed by the US and UK governments.

'While Israeli soldiers held up the ambulance, one soldier told Saddam’s[10] father, “I am the one who shot your son. God willing, he will die.” Saddam remains in the intensive care unit at Rafidia Hospital.' www.dci-palestine.org/10_year_old_...

The racist, climate change denying Reform UK are surging at the moment, but they are far from invincible. On 28 March Birmingham has a historic role to play in disrupting and undermining their march to power. Let’s rise to the occasion!

Wouldn’t it be a shame if Birmingham people turned out in numbers to protest Farage’s ‘biggest ever’ rally? www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

**Just Now** These were family homes in Jenin today. The Zionists came along and just blew them up. Why? Because “western values” appears to include randomly exploding people’s homes if they’re brown.

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709. The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost. So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

Wired and Rolling Stone are doing some of the best reporting of the coup.

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

NEW: USAID staff suspended after trying to prevent Musk’s team accessing classified info. Congress needs to act NOW. A private citizen without security clearance is currently hacking into systems across the US Government. Not only illegal, it should be treated as domestic espionage.

Read the truth. The UK, America and Israel are disgusting beyond words. What we’ve done to 2 million people in Gaza is vile, abhorrent, monstrous, depraved, satanic. How dare we call ourselves civilised? How dare we call ourselves human. Disgusting! 🤬 open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

rachel reeves isn’t stupid. she *knows* a huge number of people are either too physically or mentally ill to meet the demands of work. she *knows* disability benefit fraud is a minuscule sum, effectively 0%. she’s just a scapegoat-seeking sadist happy to kill off disabled people

This attack on GPs from Wes Streeting is insulting. There are 2,294 patients per GP as of April 2024, an increase of 7.2% since 2019. Many GPs suffer from burnout. They also have only 10 min slots to deal with an increasingly complex & sicker population. Doctors are not the ones ‘coasting’.

So Labour just sat down with 700 corporate lobbyists and has handed them full powers of autonomy and freedom, where the govt takes a back seat in the form of a secondary role. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

Minus the anxiety, horror and deep deep concern, it's kind of fascinating to watch democracy being dismantled step by step before our eyes.

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

Happy Friday.

We must resist the hate and division of Tommy Robinson and the rise of the far-right in Britain and around the world.

Quick history recap: Celts (Q) arrived in Ireland in small boats Celts (P) arrived in Britain in small boats Celts (Q) sailed from Ireland to Scotland in small boats The Romans came to Britain in small boats The Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes, Vikings and Normans came to Britain in small boats

working on a lil something dedicated to el*n xoxo can’t wait to show the finished project 🫶🏻

Look up, son, way beyond the earthly clouds. There, if you hold your breath and squint, and close one eye, you may - some may call it luck, some may call it something else - you may just catch a fleeting glimpse of the rare cosmic phenomenon known as infinitesimal dick energy 🤦‍♀️🤏

A good summary of the not made by broligarch platforms techcrunch.com/2025/01/24/d...

Let’s be clear- Reform’s policies would be the final nail in the coffin for the NHS 🚨 open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

Trump’s comments on Gaza send a dangerous signal to those fighting for freedom and justice for the Palestinians. The British government must condemn his comments, immediately recognise the State of Palestine and end its support for Israeli atrocities.

To defend Palestine we must defend the right to protest.

Every time you see the word migrants, replace it with people. Trump is using the military to round up *people* to put in detention camps.
