The Gaza Strip after three years of indiscriminate bombing by Israel.

Wes Streeting is already facing growing calls to stand down as PM

24% for Reform in Carrick, Cumnock & Doon Valley! Shame on you all. I hoped Scotland was better than this. Like Trump, Reform hopes to gain power by giving the worst kind of people permission to be the very worst version of themselves. (SNP win the seat) #Holyrood2026

Alabama has asked a federal court to allow it to return to a 2023 congressional map that courts previously deemed an illegal racial gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a pattern. The administration withholds information from judges, waits for an outcome they can spin, then attacks the judge publicly to discredit the courts. It’s not just bad faith litigation it’s an attempt to delegitimize an independent judiciary in the eyes of the public.

Judge DuBose called it exactly what it was. She said the government’s decision to hide that information amounted to “a serious breakdown in the ethical codes” and told the court “There was a decision made not to be truthful to the court.” She’s now considering sanctions against DHS for misconduct.

DHS deliberately withheld it was that Gomez was wanted for murder in the Dominican Republic. Two days after her ruling, DHS posted a public press release attacking her for releasing “a violent criminal illegal alien.” They created the situation. Then they blamed her for it.

A federal judge is pushing back hard after the Trump administration tried to set her up. Judge Melissa DuBose ordered the release of Bryan Rafael Gomez on April 28 after he filed a petition challenging the legality of his detention. What she didn’t know because the

There's an elephant in the room: Israel's genocide & ethnic cleansing. Many UK Jews support this; many others do not. Everyone must be protected but outrage at these atrocities and those who support them is often wrongly presented as antisemitism. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

TRY THIS ONE AMAZING TRICK DOCTORS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW. All doctors are really, really ticklish. If you tickle them enough they’ll give a you a prescription for anything you want. Try it.

Chances of winning a big pro-Indy majority by voting #SNP1SGP2 are high. Chances of 'both votes SNP' achieving it are very small indeed. I hope people will base their votes on probability instead of wishful thinking. indyposterboy.scot/maximum-indy/

I am quite certain @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a better guardian of my Jewish values than Keir Starmer who said it was appropriate to cut off water from a people subject to genocide.

If we put "antisemitism" at the centre of the debate instead of Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing, all we're really doing is creating a safe space for those who support genocide and ethnic cleansing. The worst crimes it is possible to commit www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Lets be clear. This is about stealing an election, this time, with SCOTUS on their side. House Speaker says, “you’ve got to keep the grown ups in charge.” GOP doesnt care what the voters want. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

GOP going all out to fix US elections. Hard to see how this does not end in violence.

If Trump wants the American people to pay for a new ballroom I think the American people should get to design it.

There would be no USA without violence. First a war of independence. And then genocide & ethnic cleansing. The real issue is when is violence justifiable?

lol

The Justice Department Sides With the Ku Klux Klan The administration’s vindictive targeting of the Southern Poverty Law Center is yet another mask-off moment.

My bread game got a whole lot better after watching this video. Learn the language of the dough :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWN9...

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Trump said to be looking for ways to punish NATO allies for failing to back his mindlessly destructive attacks on Iran. I'm sorely tempted to join truth social then start a campaign for US to cancel UK's "independent" deterrent.

Space breakthrough: British scientists reveal most detailed 3D map of the universe that captures millions of galaxies https://www.europesays.com/uk/908151/ British scientists have unveiled the most comprehensive three-dimensional map of the cosmos ever assembled, marking the conclusion of…

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

The thing about Starmer and Mandelson @mrjamesob.bsky.social isn't so much the mistake of the appointment, as Ed Miliband rightly observed this am, even prime ministers make mistakes It's about setting standards then applying them fairly, which is what Labour suggested they would do after 14 years

The Trolley Problem You're standing by a railway switch point. A train is approaching. On one branch of the track, a single baby is tied to the rails. On the other, 20 billionaires. You have to choose which... Oh come on! I haven't finished explaining yet...!

I'd pay good money to thee this film. But who knows, we may already be living it.

The Catholic church's crime-fighters are legendary but they do have an unfair advantage. God sees everything. PS: don't mention the Spanish Inquisition

Truly astonishing number of screenings already booked for the National Emergency Briefing film. Very likely to be one near you. www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

right I have wifi again - here was Budapest just now - at quarter past midnight!

I really was not expecting Orban to go quietly.

So a Chinese oil tanker pays Iran the toll and progresses through the Strait, accompanied by a Chinese warship. The US Navy orders it to stop. We have arrived at our Franz Ferdinand moment.

Apparently Trump just announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz 🤦 If he follows through - never a given - the war will step up a gear. I'm so, so sick of seeing neighbourhoods across the middle east turned into rubble and dust by American/Israeli bombs.

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

"Fuck you Scotland. Your votes don't count!"

“Budapest has become a hub in a system in which Russian oil money is laundered to become support for far right figures and organizations in Europe and the United States. …institutions which we presume to be American, such as the Heritage Foundation, are …part of this larger international network.”

France moves away from Windows. The UK & rest of Europe, and @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, should follow suit! www.engadget.com/big-tech/fre...

Bruce Springsteen is making me a fan... Opening his concert in Los Angeles yesterday, worth the wait to see the transition to the opening song 90 seconds in. ✌️❤️🇺🇸 #Resist

NASA live "nothing to worry about our dodgy heat shield will be fine" Yep. They sent them up there with a dodgy heat shield.

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no. This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people. This is why every worker needs a union.

This is so well done. 👌

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says the U.S. has already violated key clauses of Iran’s 10-point framework before negotiations even begin — citing Lebanon ceasefire breaches, a drone incursion, and denial of enrichment rights. He calls talks “unreasonable” under current conditions. 1/

This, in its own way, is as delusional and disastrous as his pledge to wipe out their civilization just yesterday.
