A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

Give people hope that their lives can be made better, and explain that the real cause of their poverty and limited life chances aren't immigrants, but the rich elite hoarding all the money. Out Farage, as one of those elite, and his followers will desert him in their droves.

@evanhd.bsky.social I don't care about people getting rich when others are being killed, starved and terrorised. The bottom line for me is being safe, healthy and loved. Faced with the horrific reality for too many people on our planet, much Radio 4 content feels made for privileged colonisers. 🙏🏻

Listen to an OG recording of this Sister Sledge classic. Then listen to this Dimitri from Paris remix. Bravo sir. Bravo. I've been playing this for years and it's become my norm. I just listened to the version on the original We Are Family album. It's brilliant and this takes it to a new dimension.

"Polanski is adamant that Labour no longer deserves to be thought of as progressive. "The Labour Party is so dead and gone in terms of being a progressive force. You don’t need to be in the Labour Party: @greenparty.org.uk time is now.” www.newstatesman.com/politics/lab...

It’s like Britain has still got to wear a colonialism/empire coat in every meeting it goes into with these emerging nations, and they’re going, “you’ve still got that coat on”. The world is changing. There’s a big elephant in the room, and everybody needs to address it and move on. | Lenny Henry

Two words: Genocide Stop

We live on a planet. Countries are artificial. Their constructs merge beyond the concept of border. The idea of nations will always be trumped by the natural reality of life on earth. We can accept it and give it our best, or hide in our ego until nature takes us anyway. This man is lost in mind.

"You should care about the Jimmy Kimmel show if you like it. It’s just that you should remind yourself the show is entertainment whereas Gaza is real life. America has taught you to get things the wrong way around. It has inverted your reality. And it has done so very deliberately."

I don't shout enough about trans and queer rights With people's chosen paths through, away from, or into the minefields of sexuality and gender, the things I care about most are this... Does it make you happy? Does it make you feel good? Does it feel right for you? Love everyone Be free

Caught myself seriously considering unfollowing every account I see that mentions the likes of Trump, Vance, Musk or Farage I actually want to maintain a good awareness of reality on our planet This thought is simply a measure of how much the actions of these people affects my mental health

I wrote a poem called 'Goodbye'. It's about living alone with chronic illness, like Lyme disease, long COVID, ME, or all three. Read slow. Take each line like a sloth. Time with friends Islands of love In a lonely sea So it is with me Days alone Mostly at home #poetry #poem #disability #pwME 🧵

We cannot by ourselves turn the wheel of history. That’s beyond the will of any particular generation or group. We can contribute. And what I’m hoping people will get from the book, is the awareness that it’s not only possible to contribute, but it’s also the best thing anybody can do. | Gabor Maté

Go Greens! 💚

This Labour Government once again choosing to do the work of their vested interests - and not working for people or the planet. My article today in @the-independent.com on Gatwick Expansion. 👇🏼 www.independent.co.uk/voices/gatwi...

Yet we live in a safe, comfortable bubble by global standards. Do we make enough noise and take enough action on the greatest moral and existential crises of our times? Do our colonial comforts shelter us too much from global reality, while our internal wrangles distract us from truth we must face.

Dr Saya Aziz describes two patients at Al Shifa hospital. An 11yo whose entire family has been killed, complete burns to his face, no pain relief. A 15yo with complete destruction of his genitalia, infection, broken leg, whats going to happen to him when the familys displaced?

Civilians. Not Hamas. Civilians. Every. Single. One. Until they're all dead or gone. In effect and intention, that is the state of Israel's mission in Palestine. The 75 year body of actions, words and evidence to back that up is overwhelming. It's called genocide.

Hamish Falconer: "Its important... we take the steps that we can* to bring about peace in the region" *excluding any steps that will exert real pressure on Israel, such as ending all arms exports, imposing sanctions, halting trade, cancelling all military ties.

I'm being snarky about a US president and a UK prime minister. Must be time for bed. I wonder how they sleep at night?

In British slang, "trump" means to fart (break wind) and can refer to the act or the resulting sound. This usage, derived from the loud, trumpet-like sound of breaking wind, is a centuries-old meaning of the word. | Google AI

Been thinking this for years. Has Kier Starmer modelled his voice on Zippy from Rainbow? Perhaps we can get him a zip too?

Saint Levant addressed thousands at London's Wembley Arena, reminding the audience that the suffering in Gaza did not begin on October 7 but is rooted in decades of occupation and imperialism.

How do we fix this mess?

"When will our leaders call a racist a racist? And what does it say about the current political culture that makes them so afraid to?"

Rip-off Quarter of the average UK energy bill funds profits. 2010-2025: Privatised energy companies paid £70.7bn in dividends In high winds, turbines turned off as system can't transmit/store electricity. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Many businesses destroyed by high energy bills.

Prime Minister and King compromising UK humanity Green Party leader offering a moral alternative Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Now the UN says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, too. How can western governments still refuse to act? | Steve Crawshaw

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of privatised water, rail, bus, energy and mail services, mostly foreign owned. Investment neglected. Regulators useless. Often little/no competition, captive customers fleeced,, more pushed into poverty. Privatisation is one of the biggest scams.

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, says UN inquiry

What I saw at Saturday’s rally was racism, pure and simple. Labour won’t tackle it until we can call it what it is | Diane Abbott

When we remember we beat fascism before, we must also remember that we kinda let fascism happen before we actually beat it. I'm not a historian but I think that the one lesson of history might be not to have to beat it in the first place.

While fascists organise on our streets and this Labour government rips away what’s left of the social safety net, there is still a genocide happening in Gaza. A genocide which our government is aiding in. The world knows this isn’t right. Even at the Emmys. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

In this context, “free speech“ is a concept which leads directly into far right obsessions such as oppression of white people, Great Replacement, Judeo-Bolshevism & its contemporary equivalent Islamo-gaucheism etc. Govt ministers really shouldn’t be giving this sort of framing the time of day

Today's Right-wing 'Freedom' demonstration: Dozens of police injured by racist thugs = 25 arrests. Last week's Left-wing 'Palestine' demonstration: Totally passive pensioners sitting with placards = 890 arrests. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Over 1,600 people have been arrested since Labour banned Palestine Action — the first time a non-violent direct action group has ever been proscribed in Britain. The UN has condemned it as “disproportionate” and “unnecessary”. Opposing genocide isn’t a crime, it’s a moral duty.

If the disparity between David and Goliath had been as great as this between Palestine and Israel, David's stone would be like a tiny grain of grit, his slingshot a thin blade of soft grass and Goliath would have crushed him under a massive boot. Palestine has been under this US boot since 1947.
