Ministry of Defence admits UK is training Israeli military IN BRITAIN It is clearer than ever that the UK is not just complicit in Israeli genocide in Gaza: it is an active participant www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

What did we do to deserve this government? It promised change, and many people voted on that basis, in good faith. But the change is from bad to worse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

We have had the pledges, promises, missions, confident ambitions and even a manifesto, but you can forget all that. We are now on Moral* Missions. *This government think they have morals 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Never forget that the US Congress gave Netanyahu dozens of standing ovations during a single speech while he was in the middle of perpetrating history's first live-streamed genocide. This is who they are. It will always be who they are.
