He’s still pissed about those windmills

Palestinian families from Gaza take Canadian government to court

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Joe Biden spent eighteen months enabling a genocide in Occupied Palestine. That's a fact. And saying that we must ignore that fact is saying the people murdered *with our American weapons, paid for by our American tax dollars* don't matter. Saying people should have ignored a genocide is monstrous.

😕

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

No, the far left and far right aren't the same. Rounding people up and putting them in camps is bad. Mass deportations is bad. Gender affirming care and universal healthcare are good. Saying that the left and right are both authoritarian is just doing that dril tweet unironically.

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

On #SocialistSunday I think about what it means to be a socialist. It means equality, peace, taxes paying for essential services, but more than anything else it means workings and achieving collectively. Keep talking about the NHS, fighting racism, Palestine, and to bring down the cost of living

Don't repost this. It upsets Elon Musk.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

I'm still supporting a Free Palestine. At some point the killing has to stop. At some point the apartheid has to stop. At some point the oppression has to stop. Don't let them manufacture consent for more atrocities.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

- so you’re trying to tell us that a heavily ketamined Elon Musk dressed up like Roy Orbison if he’d been the 4th member of Run DMC came out of nowhere and hit you over the head with a chainsaw? - Honestly, there I was minding my own business… and the next thing BOSCH

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

All these liberals think they’re such bad asses. They fight and abuse everyone except their own leaders who fck us all over.

accurate! 🤣

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

Thank you to Coventry's LGBTQ+ youth group, Prism, for the warm invite to your weekly meeting. As I said, trans rights are human rights, and it’s our collective duty to resist the rising tide of bigotry and division. I’m proud to stand with you as an ally in this fight. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Tottenham have asked broadcasters to not refer to them as being "battered", pointing out that there are equally applicable terms such as "pummelled", "thrashed", and "thumped".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “The body of the woman we received yesterday is that of a Gazan woman, not that of Sheri Bibas.” This false statement could serve as a pretext to justify resuming the genocide in Gaza.

Unfortunately I have to skip every country song now because I do not have time to look up where each artist stands on controversial subjects like if presidents should obey laws

Marshall Allen - ‘New Dawn’ - Week-End Records - Composed by Marshall Allen / Arranged by Knoel Scott. The album is described as “a love letter to spacetime that channels a century of musical transience and transcendence into seven outer dimensional tracks.”

The debut solo album from Sun Ra Arkestra leader Marshall Allen is out, setting a Guinness World Record: At 100 years and 265 days old, Allen is now certified as the oldest person to release a debut album. The aptly titled, ‘New Dawn’, is also a brilliant album. #sunra #marshallallen #jazz

Just noticed for the first time today that Las Vegas is just across the road from our office at the Casual Workers Advice Office…😉 Also, we launched our first weekly podcast about workers’ rights today — so overall another fine day in Germiston, South Africa. #street #germiston #workers

– "With everything that has happened would you go on strike again?" – "Anytime. Anytime. I would do it again." Please listen to the 1st episode of our new podcast about labour, Buwa Basebetsi, in which we tell the stories of workers, and deal with their rights.

Proud to share our first ever current affairs podcast at the Casual Workers Advice Office here in South Africa — it is called Buwa Basebetsi and deals with workers’ news, issues and stories. Please give it a listen.

Loves his war criminals does Trump. Loves them. Bit of genocide here, a bit there. Netanyahu, Putin,...all the war criminals. He loves them. Wants to be one. He'll not be happy without an ICC indictment so he can't visit his Scottish golf course ever again. Nobel Peace Prize? Get out of here!

Keep your eyes on the refereeing/VAR team at the Villa match tonight. I will regard anything other than an unbiased performance as suspicious.

This is shit. Can we do communism now please?

It's hypocritical to cry about Putin's war crimes if you are a key ally of Netanyahu, Herzog, Smotrich and Bel Gvir and participate in their war crimes.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

The Times are angry the FA is allowing Thomas Tuchel to go back to Germany to see his wife and kids. Somebody tell Matt Lawton about TVs and laptops, will you?

Why would you get cancelled for saying "spursy"
