I will say again, Ireland has many many problems but it is very nice to live in a country where you can protest against ethnic cleansing without the police coming to arrest you

"This is a truly shocking conflict of interest. Is Peter Mandelson visiting Palantir as a representative of the Government - or as an emissary of his ugly lobbying group looking after his own financial interests?" www.thenational.scot/news/2497842...

We have long dreamed of a ceasefire, yet it didn’t even last a month. This morning, we woke up to the sound of bombing once again, as if the truce was just a brief pause between endless nightmares. When will this suffering end? 🙂‍↕️

Why have the BBC apologised for & removed the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone'? Because it went some way to humanising Palestinians. Here some young children flee in terror from Israeli bullets.

Starmer is really just out-Torying the Tories, copy-pasting Trump while Trump insults and tries to humiliate all of the UK’s actual allies. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Starmer played 15 dimensional hungry hungry hippos and lost

Fidaa is a wonderful person who really needs our support 🩷

Peace in our time

No bees = no pollination No pollination = no plants No plants = no crops No crops = no harvest No harvest = no food No food = no people

Is anyone shocked that Starmer is a Trump bootlicker? The same guy that tried to have an autistic man sent to Guantanamo for trying to find out if aliens were real? A move so cruel and servile that fucking Theresa May had to step in?

Been fun watching centrists wed themselves to this disastrous Tory policy despite it being provably one of the biggest drivers of domestic child poverty we've seen in the past decade. My favourite excuse is when they say it won't solve child poverty completely, so it shouldn't be done, lol.

people are going to be doing this look, including the cuffs

This is how the new US administration is affecting immigrant children💔 www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Those deep pocketed donors def don't want anything return for all the wonga & freebies. Nope

Caroline Seguin from Doctors Without Borders explains how Israeli soldiers systematically destroyed every single piece of medical equipment in the Indonesian hospital in Gaza, one by one.

Stormzy doing McDonald’s is really depressing in one way but in another way it’s a clear indication McDonald’s are rattled about how much they’re losing the youth market and also the response has been widespread condemnation so it’s massively backfired on them and him. So overall good imo

The Prime Minister is a racist www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

THREAD: The US should be enforcing the ceasefire in Gaza—not giving Israel the green light to kill and ethnically cleanse Palestinians. Learn the facts ⬇️

What did I say about the Labour Party being OK with ethnic cleansing? "Lord Mandelson told the BBC "the president has aired some interesting ideas" on the future of Gaza, adding that the US and the UK need to work together to achieve peace and security in the Middle East.*

Donald Trump's suggestion of ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip lays bare the "long-term American project" in the Middle East, says Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/2/11/mohammed_el_kurd_palestine_perfect_victims

One week into semester, sore throat has kicked in right on cue. (This is from being mumblecore most of the time but switching to dorkish hyperenunciation in teaching mode.)

Israel’s genocide has relocated to the West Bank since the ceasefire in Gaza:

Farage right now is shaking his head in disbelief and thinking “damn I wish we thought of that!”

Obviously most ‘centrist’ media outlets don’t respond to those on the left-wing saying they’re focusing on the wrong things, so let me say this: your reporting is really super boring now, because it’s very clear that you’re using mental gymnastics not to call out Starmer properly.

i see all that sucking up has paid off for the new york times.

Not only did UK export arms to Israel after (supposedly) suspending such sales But Elbit systems continued to export drones linked to the slaughter of Gaza inhabitants, as well as military electro-optical sensors used for target, surveillance & reconnaissance www.declassifieduk.org/vindicated-h...

The Israeli military killed 206 Palestinians in Gaza between 15 January, when a ceasefire deal was agreed, and 19 January, when it finally came into force.
