"The judge presided over the case without a jury, which is permitted in exceptional cases."

Seeing the rightwing press publish several articles a day that all have the headline "Zack Polanski is VERY scary though!" is giving me 2017-2019 vibes. And that's GOOD. Coz things are a liiiittle bit different now out there. It'll take more than Newsnight photoshopping Russian hats to fuck this.

The genocide never stopped y'all

What does it mean to be a monster? (Settlers using a baby in a pushchair to block a lorry carrying aid to starving babies. 'Monster' is correct. These people are amoral and inhuman.)

It’s crazy that there’s such a base level of criminality now things like this didn’t even merit much outrage at all.

You know it.

This is a really interesting idea. Fingers crossed.

We are all this one bodyguard 🍻

"We expect veto power over the free exercise of the franchise by those we swore to serve and protect."

Israel did this.

Courage & integrity are the most basic things most pols lack. But the other thing that inspires ppl is being able to talk evocatively & expansively abt a positive vision for the future. In this dystopia, inspiring hope is so important. Go Mamdani! & ditto @zackpolanski.bsky.social across the pond 💚

I used to think of Bindel as like Tatchell... somewhat blinkered single-issue obsessive, but deserving of respect for their sheer tenacity, long before others caught on. It's deeply depressing how her previously worthy cause has mutated into this cry-bullying persecution of a vulnerable minority.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"always there will be the intoxication of power... there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever."

this is, of course, not new “Jews run the world” and “trans women will attack you in the ladies room” and “that Black 10-year-old is a scary grown man” are all examples of the same deceptive reframing of where power lies so people can justify doing whatever they want it’s evil every time

He's just head and shoulders above every other politician we have at the moment.

Proud to live in this country, even if I can't vote here. ❤️💛💜 (Spain took to the streets last night to protest the hijacking of the Gaza flotilla by the genocidaires.)

Qanon 5 letters Shutdown 8 letters Trump 5 letters 5+8+5=18 Trump's cankles are each 18 inches in circumference So sure, makes sense

Waiting for a cab to take me to A&E with a 5cm gash on my face. First Uber available was 20min, booked, was charged, texted driver. 15min later, suddenly a NEW driver is "15m away". 15m later... another new driver, now "9min" away. No way to cancel, no way to contact Uber. Tl;dr: *Fuck* Uber.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Keir Starmer's entire strategy to combat the far-right.

Oh god, this exactly. The "humanitarian crisis", the "famine", the "overwhelmed hospitals"and the dead and mutilated children all have a deliberate cause. Every one of those bullets and bombs was loaded, carefully aimed, and fired, with intent.

I knew it! Performative bullshit. Also, supplements are bollocks and I will keep saying this till I die, which won't be of vitamin deficiency.

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

Yep. Angry young white men who "aren't political" somehow always align perfectly with MAGA, which tbf isn't so much political as imaginary-grievance onsessed.

This. They’re “ironic,” but the joke is always punching down. They “don’t care,” but only because the system benefits them in ways they don’t see. They don’t want “politics,” they just want the world to cater to their every whim. I could’ve very easily been this person. We can choose differently

– ¿Qué te llevó a alistarte? – La pobreza. La primera herramienta de reclutamiento del ejército es ir a zonas empobrecidas y ofrecer lo que EEUU no ofrece: sanidad, educación, alojamiento, ingresos, estabilidad... Ofrecemos a nuestros soldados socialismo para ir a luchar por el capitalismo. BRUTAL

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

rapture thighs around my face, girl. i'm ready to meet god

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

No notes

Heh

Never knew this, didnt think I was even interested, but it's a fascinating read. At least Wikipedia states things correctly (I checked both their entries afterwards.)

aaaaaand this also is why i’ve spent days creating a [so far] nearly 25 minute video tracing charlie to the council for national policy. plenty of people are doing the essential work of repeating his quotes, so the layer left is the why and or how. i truly hope the algorithms are kind 😮‍💨

The greatest minds in history are on the case

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

they are doing all this in full view of the world the nazis hid their worst atrocities even from their own people because they were worried about repercussions. the idf does not and it seems like they don't have to because what repercussions

Here hare here ❤️

It's remarkable how ~2017-2019 was an all-hands existential struggle to eradicate the unacceptable scourge of bigotry and racism from British politics forever, and now it's this, all day, every day, and not a single one of our commentariat has noticed nor has anything to say about it.

This was the super-secret intelligence Yvette Cooper had on her desk but which she couldn't possibly tell the general public about which meant she had to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group, by the way, in case that wasn't already clear.
