Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to PEACEFULLY show the world their plight. They walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza in peaceful protest. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 in total injured.

This is an older article (6+ years) that is very telling... KGB was looking for someone who fit these criteria: corruption, vanity, narcissism, marital infidelity, and poor analytical skills. No wonder they picked Dump.

This is, simply the best jazz radio station in the world. It is powered by its listeners contributions. No adverts, news or corporate sponsors. Give generously during the pledge drive if you want it to survive for another 60 years.

Both Lettuce Liz and Foghorn Farage have now appeared at this US Nazi fest. I am taking bets on which of these two traitors is going to be the first to offer the zieg heil salute to their new crush.

There is no justice in English courts. The judges are deaf and blind when it comes to climate and they willingly back up the autocratic leaders now in power, having enthusiastically taken over from the Tories in clamping down on even mild opposition.

If you think this is far-fetched just look at what is happening in the US right now under Trump and Musk.

mondoweiss.net/2025/02/isra... True. Israel is intent on eliminating every single Palestinian in the area. They don’t care how. They are Zionist Supremacists.

#DogsofBluesky #FoxTerriers #SmoothFoxTerriers #LifeWithDogs After 16 years we said goodbye to our last Smooth Fox Terrier this week. Age and ill health meant we were no longer able to keep up with the high energy of this amazing breed. Rita, bottom right, has gone to a younger couple🧵
