"A recent Unrwa dispatch said 111 Palestinians, including at least 18 children and seven women, were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in April alone, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths since the war began to 72,619."

So easy to do

@brianbilston.bsky.social is a brilliant poet and I can't think of anyone better to pay tribute to a brilliant naturalist like David Attenborough on his 100th birthday

It's so brazen and no one calls them out

The idea that a huge £ gift given to a politician doesn't leave them politically indebted in some way is for the birds. It was a bribe, pure and simple. He just hadn't said the favour he'd like in return - yet.

😧 Hungarian public opinion is consumed by last night’s interview with this oligarch, who broke down in tears multiple times. We watched in disbelief as one of the richest men in the country, collapsing on live TV, tried to defend the indefensible… 3/1

🔴 Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops Ed Miliband is helping to turn the country into a nation of ‘solar zealots’ and I'm enthusiastically along for the ride. Thankfully I'm not alone. bylinetimes.com/2026/04/22/b...

It is a good thing there is nothing else important going on the world. What we really need is political instability and enforced crises, cause by pearl-clutching over who knew what when at a time when we are a isolated, economically suffering former world power facing a crises easily as big as WW3.

This is serious stuff, I hadn't realised just how it could affect us all.

Honestly just ban social media until the companies can show they’ve got a grip on this. I’m increasingly not sure democracy can survive the deepfake era.

This wasn't accidental or an oversight, it's deliberate tax avoidance, fraud in other words. The double standards are just screaming out

Hey, @georgetakei.bsky.social

Really hope Vance turns up to campaign for Reform

I've had the loveliest day in the sun tiring out my 2 yr old granddaughter. Tired us out! Get home, read headlines, so gloomy. It's relentless. Now watching 'The Assembly' for some joy, there are still good people in the world. www.itv.com/watch/the-as...

@munirawilson.bsky.social please please can you raise this with government? I'm a constituent of yours. This is disgusting and criminal, appalling to see them celebrate introduction of the death penalty only for Palestinians like this with minimal chance to defend themselves.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Also, the speed with which DV made public statements about their concerns. I'm pretty sure there would at least be a best practice protocol for raising them - and it wouldn't involve going to political parties or the media first? ..

This is an excellent development and shows how sophisticated the Ukrainian response to Russia is. War is devastating in so many ways.

Hegseth: "Israel has clear missions as well for which we are grateful. Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force ... no stupid rules of engagement."

Made me tear up too, and I'm not even American. What I really miss is people just being nice, being caring, being genuinely pleased to see each other and reaching out as humans. And positive role models. The constant cruelty, indifference and lack of compassion is so depressing 😢

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
