This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

People need to stop assuming by default when some says "Zionists" they are referring to Jewish people. Zionism is NOT Judaism. Immediately conflating Zionism with Judaism as a default stance is real antisemitism.

Three-quarters of pensioners to get winter fuel payment. Welcome U-turn after losses at recent elections. What will means-testing cost? Must abandon two-child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts, cuts to public services. Must redistribute, improve spending power of the bottom 50% of population.

Good advice……

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

Remember that #Anti-Genocide≠Antisemitism #Anti-Zionism≠Antisemitism #CriticisingIsrael≠Antisemitism #CallingPro-PeaceActivists"Antisemitic"IsLIBEL and calling pro-Human-Rights Jewish activists antisemitic is the HEIGHT of STUPIDITY! #BDSmovement #BDSworks! ✊💜

We all have a responsibility - a sacred duty - to speak out.

This is shocking and shameful and has to stop. Priceless ancient artworks are being destroyed wantonly. This is Australia's heritage. Treasure it. Preserve it. Protect it. #Auspol

BBC - stop calling it a 'conflict', 'war' It's GENOCIDE

Quoting Enoch Powell is never a coincidence. The Prime Minister knew what message he was sending — and who he was sending it to. Disgraceful.

A spirited response from Michael Rosen to Keir Starmer's bigoted comment about an Island of Strangers

Kenmure Street, Glasgow. Four years ago. Ordinary people stopped what they were doing to protect their neighbours. No strangers. Happy Kenmure Street Day ✊

These are Starmer's 'strangers' - they are also the faces of healthcare workers killed in the first month of pandemic before PPA was available. If you believe vile government & press attacks on immigrants, you need to study these faces & reflect on how gullible you are...

> 600 prominent figures have signed an open letter to director-general Tim Davie expressing “deep concern” about the “censorship of Palestinian voices”. #PoliticalSuppression #BBC 1/.

First the Tories, and now Labour, tried to bury an explosive report which shows that disabled people quite literally need PIP to survive - and that they're not getting it 'coz of TikTok' www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

There are suddenly lots of people who went to war against Corbyn’s Labour leadership now complaining about Labour not having the kinds of policies that Corbyn proposed Have any of them apologised for wrecking the only real hope we’ve had in decades to reverse neoliberalism?

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/zcpv

trans ppl are normal women with penises are rare but nothing to fear children are not being sterilised women aren't afraid of me and kellie's fears are irrational - y'know: a phobia jimmy carr could do transphobic jokes if he wanted. it wouldn't damage his reputation in any way. he chose not to

@mrjamesob.bsky.social cutting the WFP won't be enough. They'll also need to get rid of the people connected to it. Starmer, Reeves and probably Streeting.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

BREAKING: A tent full of displaced families in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis — was just bombed. Children were hiding there. Families who fled death were burned alive. There is no safety. There is no mercy. Just horror. How much more can people endure ?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social which of these pledges has Starmer kept to?

Happy birthday dear Pterry! You are much missed.

What happened before elsewhere happens again and again and again.

Filmmaker and rights activist Adam Shapiro on Israel's murdering of 15 medics and rescue workers in Gaza: "Everything that the Israelis put out from the beginning is a lie, that has been uncovered and documented... the Israelis have enjoyed complete impunity from the intl community."

Pope Francis dedicated his life to the marginalised, displaced and dispossessed. A rare voice for humanity, he spent his final days on this earth calling for peace. Let his enduring legacy — of empathy, courage and kindness — inspire us to build a more humane world for all.
