“Oddly enough, it’s almost as if you’re eating a spicy dish and another flavor kicks in,” he added. “I thought ‘oh those must be the pepper balls I’m feeling.’” taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Nope. You don't get off the hook because of some Professor and his colleagues. We see what Israel is doing, despite its efforts to liquidate journalists in Gaza. Call it what you like. Israel is committing crimes against humanity. Israel is murdering civilians, destroying a culture and a people.

Blatant promotion just like for Trump in the US.

Ukraine is not only the backbone, but also the entire torso of NATO's European defence. There will come a day when British, French, German and other national militaries are supported by Ukraine instead of the United States.

Labour and Reform are in a bidding war, each escalating promises to be cruel to migrants.

This Friday 9am the witch-hunt continues.... Isaac Herzog, a man the UN says is complicit in genocide, was welcomed to Downing Street last week for tea. Mo Chara, meanwhile, who has spoken against genocide across the world, they allege is a terrorist. We will not be silent. Fuck Keir Starmer.

With the unlawful Caribbean strikes, Trump officials are claiming the right to kill anyone merely by saying the targets are drug dealers—no real evidence needed—and by saying drug dealers are terrorists. The same week, they're claiming that criticism of Charlie Kirk is promoting political violence.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Climate Action Tracker has downgraded the US's climate action under Trump from insufficient to critically insufficient, "in the most significant rollback of policies the project has ever analysed."

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".

Merz’s absence from UN General Assembly is noted as criticism grows over Gaza stance

“He did not hate his opponents, he wanted the best for them,” Trump said, before breaking from his prepared remarks to add: “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents, and I don’t want the best for them, I’m sorry.” Except he isn't sorry.

I bet he's was thinking "grab"

NATO members line up to "condemn" Russia's latest threatening behaviour. Blah, blah, blah.

My level of disillusionment with Irish politics at present is like that depth gauge on Das Boot

Authoritarians do not give up power willingly and never via the ballot box. Never.

Mussolini, Hitler and Franco knew. The secret to becoming dictator is to have the state's powers over life and death transferred to one person, preferably without most people realising.

“While welcome, the recognition of a Palestinian State doesn’t mean much if there isn’t a ceasefire in #Gaza. The recognition must be followed by a genuine commitment to a peace process in the region. #CeasefireNow“ — UNRWA Commissioner-General www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhkX... #UNGA80

Kildare CoCo also don't see any merit in any of the candidates. (RTÉ News) This is going to be the worst Presidential term of office in the history of the State.

People do realise that if they 👇 become 'President' of Ireland that there will be calls from across Europe, especially the East and Ukraine, to put #sanctions on #Ireland the moment Connolly says the first thing pro-Russian/anti-Ukrainian, don't you? #spéirghorm #spéirgorm #speirgorm

Judge @catherinegalway.bsky.social for yourself

What has happened to the Opposition in #Ireland? Lining up to support someone who openly backed the European Parliament election campaign last year of a notorious pro-Russian, previously pro-Assad apologist for terrorist states and organisations, Clare Daly? #spéirghorm #spéirgorm #speirgorm

Trump's words were better suited for a campaign rally than a memorial. He took to the stage, promising more political violence and retribution against his enemies, moments after Kirk’s wife promised to forgive them. trib.al/gMT59FF

Musk going back to where the orange power lies, in the name of performative Kirk Christo-nationalism. Can't miss out on those cameras!

This is a brutal graph. Governments justify continued fossil fuel production with the rhetoric that "if we don't supply it, someone else will". It's drug-dealers' logic.

There can be very few families in Britain that do not contain people who would be impacted by the race and deportation policies of a Tommy Robinson-style Reform government. Maybe we need to remind our parents, siblings and cousins that they are talking about us, or our kids.

We're f*cked. But that doesn't mean we're doomed. We just need to unf*ck ourselves. And do it fast.

Absurd. How little does this Government care about the climate? Squeezing out 100k more flights a year won’t improve people’s daily lives. Investing in a growing green economy to lower bills, create high-paid jobs and cut deadly air pollution will! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's the same rhetoric coming from the Faragists now as used to come from the neo-Nazi National Front back in the 1970s and early 1980s. It's "P*kis Out!" dressed up in a suit of 'respectability'. It must be opposed. It must be defeated. Fascism must not be allowed to prevail.

Our next National Demonstration for Palestine is on 4th of October. We will mark two years of Israel's genocide in Gaza, mourn all the beautiful lost Palestinians and rage at the culture of impunity that allows this. Our government must sanction the apartheid state now. Join us! #SanctionsNow

Critics say renewables are inefficient: solar panels capture ~20% of sunlight, wind turbines ~40%. OK, apply the same to fossil fuels: What % of solar radiation becomes biomass then buried as coal/oil? ChatGPT: 0.00002%.

Anyone voting for this racist shit who’s confused or in denial about what it amounts to needs firmly setting straight. Everyone else, including the Labour Party: this is the “Which side are you on?” time which perhaps you hoped would never come

Sinn Féin support for Connolly shows opposition couldn't field anyone except a pro-Russian Clare Daly fan girl - Rest of World

Trump publicly reunites with Musk at MAGA Nuremburg Rally

Trump 'honouring' the memory Charlie Kirk: "I hate my opponent." Even as Kirk's widow publicly forgave his killer.

Israel and the Conservatives are taking the piss. They were already engaged in annexing the West Bank, settlement by settlement. It's not a 'reward for terror'. Palestine already was a state. Everyone who opposes Palestinian statehood de facto supports Israel's genocide against Palestinians.

Evidentially premeditated killing is something to be joked about rather than requiring a legal justification.

The security of Europe's eastern flank depends on a convicted felon and wouldbe dictator's "yeah, I would". Trump: not exactly renowned for sticking to his promises and decisions.

Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!

Correction: Trump vows today to.. Who knows what Mr Flip-Flop will do tomorrow?

How Trump’s ‘private’ police force is putting US democracy on Ice Fears are growing that next year’s midterm elections could be the next target for Ice agents. @hughtomlinson.bsky.social https://bit.ly/3W1bohs

Yes, just like during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, Bagram will be really useful for handling the "Black Tulip" flights carrying the Cargo 200 (KIA) caskets of US troops back to the States.

Just had a stag approach me. Not so sure it was a friendly approach, judging by the 'hoofing' display and staring me down. Anyway, I retreated back into the house, happy to not interfere in whatever important business a stag gets up to this time of year.
