Gaza is “on brink of catastrophe” as aid runs out and prices soar. Within hours of the ceasefire ending in March, Israel blocked food, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza. Aid warehouses are now empty. This is collective punishment by any other name. 2 million Palestinians are being starved.

The Nazis & the Stasi relied heavily on citizens reporting friends, neighbours, & even family members for not adhering to state ideology. Public denunciations were often motivated by personal grievances or the hope of gaining favour with authorities So this is totally normal (in a fascist state)

Wow—15 international students at the University of Central Florida have had their visas revoked as a result of the school's signed partnership with ICE. One was detained. Literally handed over to immigration cops by their own university. Despicable.

"I don’t think any of us can presume to know what the position of the White House will be six days from now, let alone six months from now. By contrast – what is certain is that the EU will remain the UK’s largest trading partner." @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social 👏

Reeves flies to US to push Trump to sign trade agreement. Within the EU the UK had access to the biggest market. After Brexit it scavenges for deals, any deal. Parliament must debate and have a free vote on any deal with Trump. Must rejoin the EU.

Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin candidate for Runcorn called for cut in Winter Fuel Allowance! Hard to explain away… After locking her Facebook when announced as their candidate, it’s now open, and reveals that in 2017 she called for the same cut that Reform UK are campaigning against. Here’s the video.

This is well worth a read. Please share widely. I’ve always been of the view that Europe (I include the UK here) needs to act now to secure Ukraine’s borders, not wait until Ukraine has been partitioned by Trump & Putin. The aggressor here is Russia (now aided by a Pro Russian; anti-Europe, US).

Jessica: And the American public understands the difference between being deported and being sent to a foreign prison.. If we have a mass murderer in a maximum security American prison, they have more rights than the people being sent there for a lifetime sentence.

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

I have an issue with people saying that the killings of Palestinians in Gaza are 'tragic'. No, they're not tragic. They're part of a calculated genocide on the part of Israel to wipe Palestinians off the map. And the world is sitting by and doing nothing, or continuing to arm Israel.
