A quick reminder about the targets in this war: russian drones destroyed a warehouse with 100+ tonnes of humanitarian aid in Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian drones hit Nevinnomyssk Azot — one of russia’s largest chemical plants.

Netanyahu has done more depraved shit than just about anyone else in Jewish history. Starting a war with a regional opponent to save himself from being thrown in jail is absolutely despicable—and it’s not even the worst crime he’s currently committing. He’s a world historically heinous individual.

A question being asked by Ukrainians.

If you really want to remove the two child benefit cap, you need a proper way to fund it. Not tax breaks for your rich banker mates. Wealth tax, now.  1/7

With its latest act of conflict escalation, Israel is quite deliberately trying to prevent any chance of negotiation. Yet even now the UK Government won't acknowledge Israel's government as a threat, but actively trains & resources their military.

Well, yes he is. I agree.

Everyone should write to their MP saying: Israel’s attack on Iran is insane. It is also being used to distract from Gaza, where internet has been cut, and the West Bank, where settlements are aggressively expanding. The UK government MUST recognise the State of Palestine now. Does your MP agree?

"Fuck Russia! Fuck the Georgian Dream!" 197 days of nonstop #GeorgiaProtests, nobody is giving up. #3E (📷 Giorgi Zhamerashvili)

More than 200 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army. More than the number killed in World war I & 2 combined.   Israel is targeting the media to suppress news of their daily atrocities. When will we act against this criminal regime?   1/4

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Cary López is a U.S. citizen. ICE agents violently detained her while she was visibly pregnant, pushing her hard enough to make her lose balance. This isn’t “law enforcement.” This is state violence. Against women. Against citizens.👇

That’s not what the military is supposed to do. That’s called a military coup.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I would love it if @lisanandy did something and made subscription to BBC News an option rather than being grouped in the TV licence. I don't really watch TV, have no issue with other BBC output, but the news and current affairs is criminal

This claim is obviously wrong - some folks seem to have problems grasping reality when the EU is involved

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

UK GOVERNMENT. RECOGNISE PALESTINE

MPs have taken more than £2.7 million in donations from people and companies linked to the private health sector! This shouldn’t be allowed! 🚨 Click to call for a ban on these donations- it takes seconds! everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/ban-donation...

THE GUARDIAN: Thinktank reveals public ownership of England's water companies could cost almost nothing, challenging conventional valuations and highlighting an urgent case for nationalisation. - by Peter Walker

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

NATIONALISE WATER NOW! Can this government get anything right? Nationalisation IS the answer and the argument we can’t afford it is NONSENSE! Get on with it!

Not only “NO”, but I want their directors and the directors of related party lenders made liable personally.

This bizarre market mechanism only rewards producers, traders and speculators... breaking the link between gas and other sources of electricity could bring down the cost of our energy bills dramatically...it's high time we did this.

What an utter mess How was it allowed in get this bad.

Corbyn yesterday referred to “killing fields in Ukraine & Russia”… as if Ukrainians taking out military equipment in Russia is equal to the murder of civilians in Kharkiv, Sumy, Kyiv, and cities all across Ukraine. Shameful.

Thames Water bidders demand immunity over environmental crimes? The government cannot give into this. Shit or bust.

🗞️ The public hates Brexit. 📺 But the media still pretends it’s sacred. It’s time to change that. 💥 Support the only party that dares say it: Brexit has failed. Britain belongs in Europe. 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺 👉 www.rejoineuparty.com/support #RejoinEU #BrexitHasFailed #TeamEU 🇪🇺

There is no better example of a failed privatization experiment than Britain’s experience of privatizing water, the very stuff of life. No other country in the world has got itself into this dire predicament, and there is an overwhelming public mandate to get ourselves out of it. And yet

One of the wildest things about reactionary psychology is that they seem *genuinely hurt & dismayed* when people react badly to their violent, stupid behavior.

Clive Lewis Labour MP speaks out in @bylinetimes.bsky.social ‘A consultation saw 88% of 28,000 respondents back public water ownership Yet, these voices have been systematically marginalised by a Govt determined to operate within narrowly enforced ideological boundaries’

Really pleased the government has listened to my and others' long-standing campaigning and will require solar panels on all new homes—a no-brainer policy. Now we must go further: ensure new homes have proper insulation, flood resilience, and protection from overheating.

Russia targets civilians, Ukraine targets military targets. This war is as binary as it gets, Russia are the bad guys invading their neighbours and Ukraine are the good guy defending their homeland. If you stand by Russia, you stand by evil.

Unreal. Especially in the current situation
