Beloved Mahmoud Shurrab, adored by all the children he entertained, bringing laughter to traumatised kids, was murdered today by the #Zionazi Israelis. Rest in joyful power, Mahmoud. You will be remembered & loved, long after israel is just a pile of dust. www.instagram.com/reel/DLKuOXi...

There's always a footprint. ===================

Exhaled aerosol particles (1-5 um) create a wake behind people walking down hallways. Cool CFD simulations with implications for hospital corridors. If only this article was out in 2019.... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Quite a thing - as any student of judicial politics will tell you - for a letter to be signed both by former supreme court justice Jonathan Sumption and by former appeal judge Stephen Sedley. They are about as far apart in their judicial outlooks as possible. lawyersletter.uk#signatories

A week after David Lammy announced the suspension of free trade agreement negotiations with Israel, Keir Starmer's trade envoy to Israel, Ian Austin, tweets about being in Israel to "promote trade with the UK".

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

This. This, not all the scapegoating, explains why people are voting for anyone who offers 'change'. Its extreme capitalism since Reagan / Thatcher. The Dems / Labour / Socialist parties have gone along. There has been NO party defending the masses since 1980.

Majority of working-class families can't afford to live. Its this crisis that is creating massive amounts of wealth not seen since the gilded age. Neither corporate political party has any solution to this. This is what capitalism was designed to do: to immiserate. www.cbsnews.com/news/cost-of...

Thank you, Romanian voters! No Putin puppets!

Yesterday, protesters in the Netherlands demanded an end to the genocide.

Terrifying. youtu.be/IXR9PByA9SY?...

GWU graduation…

Has anyone ever gifted you a plane?

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

Ouch from the Green Party! Britain's real opposition...

"Labour is so dysfunctional that it cannot govern. How long can it last in that case?" 'Labour ministers admit that Downing Street is so controlling that they can do nothing to manage the country. How long can this government last in that case?' youtu.be/f1pLi3hpZUA?...

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Every generation has its defining test. This is ours. Don’t burn out – pace yourself, live your life, and keep pushing. We’re the torchbearers now. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/keep-your-...

WANTED: Keir Starmer, for aiding and abetting genocide, ethnic cleansing and war crimes meem via @zarahsultana.bsky.social

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Attacking civilian vessels in international waters as part of a starvation campaign has a clear nexus with the armed conflict and is a war crime.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Coming soon: Labour responds to the failure of its Nigel Farage tribute act by trying even harder to be a Nigel Farage tribute act whilst closing its eyes to the evidence of where that path led the Tories.

"While a majority of British Jews feel some attachment to Israel, nearly 30% self-define as non- or anti-Zionist, while 51% of 16- to 29-year-olds do not identify as Zionist." newlinesmag.com/spotlight/a-...

A new investigation directly looks at how much Elon Musk has boosted the visibility of far-right movements and politicians around the world, and finds that he is directly and individually responsible for a lot of the growth of the far-right all across Europe: www.france24.com/en/americas/...
