I'm the type of person who, when out walking, as someone's coming towards me using a cool branch as a walking stick, I'll point and say "that's a good stick" and smile, and expect them to say "yeah it is!", and I know this because that's the interaction I've just had, and it wasn't my first time.

Every Middle Easterner who knows anything is going to be warning the world that you cannot trust Israel while we get ignored while Israel triggers another war and fucks it all up again. Understand this if nothing else: Israeli politics needs war. That’s how they resolve tensions between them.

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

When I see "biological reality" in a headline I've learned to assume it's going to be scientifically illiterate transphobia but no, on this occasion it's about women's duty to have children for the good of the fatherland.

A reminder that as Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper had so little confidence in pushing a ban on Palestine Action through parliament in July 2025 that she bundled it together with the neo-Nazi "Maniacs Murder Cult" and then refused MPs the right to vote on each separately. The state must drop the ban

The Met is keeping receipts for "enforcement at a later date" in case the Home Office's appeal succeeds.

A Jewish MP was banned from a school because he was Jewish - or so our government and media have suggested. That is a total lie. This is yet another cause of how Israel's apologists are shamelessly deceiving you 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/lies-over-...

Look I don't expect any better but still, I caught a bit of PMQs and my god the whiplash. Knowing the general facts behind an event then seeing the outright lies as things are presented/discussed in parliament, and understanding that the lies are told in order to further a genocide, is a head fuck.

"ICE just needs more training" is the Democrats preparing in advance to put more immigrants into concentration camps when they take power Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Short sound bite for UK leftist pundits today- the UK has long shown what it will do to peaceful protestors against the regime when it hates them, it will send in the paratroopers and they will shoot them dead, smear them as criminals then deny them justice via every means possible, for decades.

ngl the more people get breathless about this being unthinkable along with the more clear it becomes that eg EU will do absolutely nothing in response to what happened in Venezuela… the more it seems obvious they try to do an insane hamfisted maneuver for Greenland.

Yes, America is undermining the basis of international law. But it's doing so by calling everyone else's bluff. If you say "hi I'm Mr Crimes I'm here to do a bunch of crimes and nobody will stop me because the police are fake," and the police really don't show up, then you're objectively right.

All matter tends toward entropy, all pyjama pants split in the ass.

florian wirtz, who was NOT offside

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Thinking about Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti this morning as the news comes in about Venezuela. The word “empire” is not an exaggeration. This is how it regularly defines itself.

I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

He's just chatting away about what he watched on the bodycams isn't he

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

This is a very difficult read. Mohammed Ibrahim’s account is also an account of all of the other Palestinian children locked up in the entity’s network of torture camps… This torture will continue until the entity is completely dismantled. www.infinitejaz.com/p/mohammed-i...

The law and actions of the British state continue to be completely fucked.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

this was, basically, the driver of the Anglo-American coup against Mossadegh in Iran in 1952. The president didn't just tweet it out though.

HMP Bronzeville finally let an ambulance through to take Qesser to the hospital, but have arrested a doctor who was at the prison. Follow prisoners4palestine on IG for updates and keep pressuring your govts because the hunger strike is still on. No demands have been met.

Bracing analysis of the rise of the far-right in Germany: "there are widespread right-wing extremist networks within the security services, the police, and the armed forces. Europe-wide networks of fascists are operating unhindered. Something is brewing. If we don't react now, it will be too late."

On the stoop with a cuppa and a v energetic person stopped to tell me how warm it is and how cold it gets in Chicago and how nice it was Mamdaddy won and the terraced houses around here are cute and her z1o brother is irritating and she's leaving Spain, and I feel like I've been in a social tornado.

Do yer poops, clean yer teeth, do yer squats, wash yer face, get yer clothes on, live yer life.

I won't say what I want to say about the video of that lying fascist monster Ben Gvir gloating over a room of kidnapped people because I truly don't want to give that scumbag the satisfaction. But what impressive people the Sumud Flotilla participants are. Pressure your governments to get them out.

The explanation for this is that all these people are horrible ghoulish fucks who have bullshat themselves into a corner at the request of the USA and are desperately trying to use Jewish safety as an ablative shield for their own reputations. But nobody is saying this.

To clarify: what a lot of people are seeing is a horrendous genocide with starving children being livestreamed on tiktok, and a political media class that's very obviously lying to them about it and claiming opposition to it is antisemitism.

Protesting genocide is fundamentally un-British, you are correct, home secretary. Of course it is, the British state is responsible for centuries of massacre after massacre, genocide after genocide, to this day, including the current Israeli genocide of Palestine.

It's not the main point of course, the main point is how the British Labour government are participating in the Israeli genocide of Palestine, but that section in Owen Jones' conference video with Akehurst is fucking cinema. The YNWA playing, knowing the context for that? Fuck me.

the world will have to learn what “groypers” are and i don’t think the average boomer is ready for that

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

Herzog has been a consistent cheerleader for Israel's campaign in Gaza. His assertion that there are no innocent civilians in Gaza is key evidence in the genocide case being heard at the ICJ. Basic facts in the biggest news story in the world, of which Balls displays blithe, swaggering ignorance.

Achy achy achy body day

Moving towards a safer society requires a rudimentary understanding of how power works and a plan for how to change this society into one where transphobia isn't protected and enabled. Not begging transphobic institutions like the police to stop individual transphobes.

I'm in Wales and I'm English *spits* so I'm (badly) speaking the words on signs and street furniture like they're Elvish heroines or places from deep myth. We should all know the tale of the warrior peasant Ysbwriel who fought colonisers at the battle of Trowch i'r Chwith.

Wagtail hunting with hummingbird wings in the thick weed on the reflected mountainside at the surface of the lake.

Sorry, but wtaf? This does absolutely nothing but ensure that even more people, including children, have to use irregular crossings, and blocks people who even this government have recognised are refugees from being with their families. This is utterly sickening from Labour. 1/
