Israel is breaking the ceasefire deal. Again and again and again

Last year, activists occupied a forest in Germany next to Tesla's Gigafactory aiming to prevent the factory from expanding. Local residents have been forced to ration their water as the factory uses mass amounts of water. See our short film from the occupation: unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslast...

Everyone in the Anglo-American sphere should listen to this, and take it to heart.

I can't think of a case where poems changed the world, but what they do is they change people's understanding of what's going on in the world. Seamus Heaney

Ketamine is wild

Sounds like Westminster! #ScottishIndependence

So this man, could fail to be elected, but be selected as an MSP anyway. Then, as leader of the third or fourth largest party, could decree whether or not the Scottish People can be consulted on how we wish to be governed? www.thenational.scot/news/2495694... And they tell us we're not a colony.

Please share this fact sheet about Ukraine with anyone who needs it.

#WASPI women shouldn’t need to take the Govt to court to get justice but that’s what we have to do. Help us by donating here: www.crowdjustice.com/case/waspiju...

People who aren't immersed in journalism culture might not realize what a struggle it has been to get newspapers to call racism racism and lies lies

Waspi campaigners threaten government with legal action over compensation

The lawsuits that come out of this clusterfuck if they do start terminating civil servants for their responses or nonresponses are going to consume DOJ’s personnel for the rest of time

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Remind me why, with everything that’s happening in the world, it’s essential to close off the option of the UK rejoining the EU.

My nephew needs a kidney so that's neat

How often did past administrations send emails to everyone in the government? What technical service does that? How many government workers can be emailed capriciously on a Saturday afternoon from a singular inbox and how many people have to sign off to make that happen? Lots of questions from this.

A reminder. The trashing of the US reputation needn't be permanent. I was in Kyoto when Bush invaded Iraq. The world was angry at the US but not at individual Americans. And when we elected Obama the world rejoiced. Fight GOP tyranny & rebuild our reputation for what America really could be again.

Fuhrer Farage bull💩 strikes again.

Dear Bonnie Crombie & Ontario Liberals: Please have the courage to stand up for 2SLGBTQI+ Ontarians by adopting the policy to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario. Catholic school boards across Ontario teach an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @ontarioliberal.bsky.social

This is something @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social should make clear in tomorrow's debate: that he will cut all fed gov ties with Musk entities, or any other that could compromise national security. Let's have a made in Canada version!

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

I can't help but wonder whether there is a lesson for Labour here.

Back in 2013—2013!—we at @motherjones.com warned people that Elon Musk was attacking government subsidies even as he built his whole empire on them. Yeah, we didn't know how bad it would get, but the signs were there: www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

if nothing else I hope this era finally makes clear that government is a SERVICE, not a business. everything isn't designed to make money.

Ban SUVs in urban areas.

one thing that's worth pointing out about the current wave of constituent fury at Republican town halls: the reason you're primarily seeing those viral moments in ruby red districts is because every Republican whose district is even remotely competitive is actively hiding from their constituents

Talk about waste, when's WM Crooks going to be held accountable, for their Continuous waste & blatant theft of Public Funds?

The English are giving Scotland £200 million back of their own money while blocking democratic routes out of their forced UK union. Rejoice! Thank the lord for our English governors. 6 oil refineries in the UK, and the English are closing a major industry in Scotland. 97% of UK oil is Scottish.

It will be the most celebrated obit on the planet.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

My latest blog piece, Alexei Sayle got it right, vile, gruesome people are in charge of Starmer's Labour party weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/02/23/t...

always enjoyed how the proud boys named themselves after a bunch of toddlers who just successfully pooped in the potty
