"Repeated and systematic lethal attacks by the United States military on boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific raise grave concerns about the commission of potential international crimes, UN experts warned today."

Yarn-bombing is thought to have originated in Texas USA, instigated by clothes-shop owner Magda Sayeg and a group known as Knitta Please, who began the "knit graffiti" movement to brighten up public spaces as a form of street art #Womensart

Meet the founder of the Amphiba anti-terror network.🐸

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

I love this image.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

You’re right, Ms Mahmood - I don’t. Because the slippery slope we’ve been going down has been spine chilling. It started with “illegal migrants.” That was the “reasonable concern” Just the law, nothing more. Politicians said, “people aren’t anti-immigration, they just want the rules respected.”

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

This is all going to be about him, isn't it?

Man this dismissal of Trump’s NYT lawsuit is quite the read: “…a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Take a breath. Look behind the hostile headlines. What this government is on the verge of doing is to expand this one-in-one-out deal into, essentially, a safe and legal route from France. It is - and has always been - the only solution to dangerous crossings and what has been needed for years.

"Shared values", Sir Keir? What shared values would they be?

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

A political party, that's topping the polls, lauding someone who called for human beings to be burned to death should be a moment for national self-reflection. This is not who we are nor who we should become. Reform UK are a plague on our national humanity. We must never permit them to govern.

“This rhetoric of ‘protecting women’, is actually all about the subjugation of women. Specifically, who gets to subjugate us. It's just misogyny dressed up as heroism,” says an uncharacteristically angry @pimlicat.bsky.social. 👏🏽

It's glaringly obvious that the provision of decent, plentiful social housing would address so many problems, including the benefits bill - I marvel that successive governments haven't realised it yet. Why not?

“Are we Grok?”

Another day, another revelation…

Amidst shameful media neglect of genocide in #Gaza, there has been a consistent exception: the UK’s Channel 4 News. Today’s report on the daily killings by Israelis of the starving queuing for food aid. Wait for the UN assessment at the end. This is a difficult but essential watch. Pls share.
