The thing is, if you genuinely believed that preteen girls are old enough to be mothers while males in their thirties are too young to comprehend fascism, then you logically wouldn't trust men to be responsible for anything more consequential than a balloon animal, let alone a government

Israel’s football authorities have consistently failed to tackle the issue of behaviour on the terraces because the targets for chants etc are Arabs. The racism is in that sense institutionalised. That has consequences

Labour need to take effective action to strengthen protections of our democracy, not just tinker or shy away from reality. They have a huge majority - & some opposition parties will also back them, if they do. Otherwise our democracy (country) is even more for sale to highest bidder, than currently.

TAM have a long history of hate among some ultra fans (yes not all) but they chanted “terrorist” at an Arab player in 2014 newisraelfund.org.uk/issue/kick-i...

Two talented high school students from Texas, Victoria Ou and Justin Huang, have developed a groundbreaking pen-sized ultrasonic device that can remove up to 94 percent of microplastics from water in just one pass.

Holy Komoly. He really wrote that ?!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did!

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again. buff.ly/6XvNGfT

The leader of #Reform #UK in Wales caught taking bribes to push pro-Russia propaganda. He’s ex-UKIP, ex-Brexit Party—all 3 under Trump’s best pal Nigel Farage, who praised #Putin and spread Kremlin lies. #ArronBanks lurks in the same shadows. This is your "patriotism". #Trump #Farage #Brexit

If they are to have any hope of achieving a lasting peace, there must be a fundamental recognition that all 14 million or so Arab and Jewish people in the region have an equal right to live full and fruitful lives in peace

Indiana voters: Let your legislators know you don’t like having elections rigged in your state.

I find it increasingly funny that hit pieces on @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk are essentially who would choose to vote for someone with crazy radical ideas of spreading wealth and equality for all. Why would anyone want to protect the planet. Won't you think of poor landlords!!

Spot on.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Finally!!! The real scandal of the asylum hotels. Why, instead of shining the light on these parasites, months were spent on demonising vulnerable people at their mercy? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

The first causality of war is truth #gaza

Badenoch’s law: Racism aimed at Badenoch by someone she thinks is on the left: very bad Racism aimed at literally anybody else: fine

Gavin Newsom with the receipts!

Further reminder - some of those currently trying to weaponise yesterday’s tragedy to fuel Islamophobia have a documented history of antisemitism. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says ‘Islamophobia and antisemitism are two sides of the same coin’.

It’s the Epstein files shutdown.

Starmer says Britain is at a fork. But he's spoon fed policies by Reform - it's clear the direction hes taking us all. For bold politics- taxing the super rich, nationalising our public services, funding our NHS, Greens stand ready to replace Labour. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Unacceptable…except to Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and Tom Homan who all want to see more of this behavior from ICE, not less.

Andy Burnham has pulled no punches in his assessment of Brexit

'Blueprint for permanent occupation': Outrage online over Trump's plan to end Gaza war

Streeting rules out VAT on private healthcare. Govt levies VAT on private school fees. Why not on healthcare? Billions can be raised. Private sector freeloads on NHS trained staff, doesn't pay for training. Makes excessive profits from NHS contracts.

This is terrible. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I will trust this government to deliver an "online hospital" that works for patients when they've fixed the problems with the real ones Around 320 patients DIE every week due to long waits for beds in A&Es Fund our NHS, fund new doctors, end the waste of outsourcing, no new PFI

A helpful primer.

Great move from Keir Starmer and from Britain under his leadership. Overdue? Yes. Will it stop the war? No. But it’s a clear signal to the murderous regime of Netanyahu, sanctions will follow as day follows night - they simply have to. buff.ly/pyLhTmP

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Farage has repeatedly misled the public by telling people he owned his constituency home. He didn't, his partner does. How can we have any confidence he's telling the truth now? #NeverVoteReform #NeverFarage

And they’re eating the cats and dogs 🙄

So good to hear the positive case for migration being put forward by @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @zoejardiniere.bsky.social this morning - thank you for speaking up on behalf of families like mine 🌈

💡Our pre-election survey found the public want a fully publicly funded NHS. 70% of intended Labour voters said NO to private company involvement. Yet the Health Secretary’s advisors don’t reflect this. Why? 👉 Find out more + help us hold them accountable: everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...
