Humanity is not doing well.

"Island of neighbours" 😊

You have to ask why people are threatened by this true story. Is it because it reveals the truth of Israel? Is it because it runs counter to Israeli propaganda? Is it because it shows a frightened, young Palestinian girl sympathetically, thus humanising Palestinians?

Global economy must not pander to “frivolous and destructive demands of the ultra-rich”. They fund political parties, profit from socially and ecologically destructive growth. UK example - deregulation, regressive taxation, concentration of wealth, inequalities, sewage in rivers.

Not content in bombing a school full of girls, a children's hospital was also attacked.

Let's be clear by supporting Israeli aggression against its neighbours and its ethnic cleansing of Palestinians makes the UK personnel targets.

As we saw with Iraq, when George W Bush invaded the country, it went from a country where women had equal rights to one that suppressed them (at least in regions).

The Labour government has proposed extreme circumstances for those who CHOOSE to make the UK their home.

Wow.

We need to outlaw smart glasses since they are already being used for filming of women/children without their consent.

Felt like baking today Tried something new - cream cheese sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting

This was obvious. They weren't doing anything that would constitute terrorism.

👏🏼

Serving in an armed forces that is involved in genocide & ethnic cleansing should lead to immediate arrest. We need to think about the threat these individuals hold to a civilised society. And what about the feelings & safety of Muslims, British-Palestinians if nothing is done?

W.T.F. Some are suggesting a possible attack on Mexico.

Politicians/leaders who don't believe in government and thus fail to govern. Maybe the definition of politics shouldn't be right or left, but government is a public good or a nuisance. 🤔

And the UK government is flirting with this....instead of coming out in support of people CHOOSING the UK as their home.

No one is illegal. Actions are illegal. Seeking asylum is NOT illegal.

This is the problem with Mandelson. He gave sensitive government information to Epstein's network.

This. Epstein's network is not just about the sexual abuse of girls & young women, but building & maintaining power throughout the world.

The wealthy don't value democracy.

Great work by Rita out of Adam's group. 👏🏼👏🏼

Absolutely. Too many politicians from the last several decades have decided to work for the oligarchs.

It is becoming clear that it was a very bad idea to allow people & corporations (where they become essentially monopolies &/or too big to fail) to hoard money because they will corrupt democracies.

This.

This and as a result, policies to help the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

The government is using technology to identify protestors, and then using that information to track and intimidate them. The people using the devices are wearing masks, but we know the companies creating the technology. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Imagine if Starmer and Reeves followed this strategy, they would be getting the growth they desire so much.

Am interesting 🧵 on the "quality" of skill courses being offered by the UK government

Voicing the problems real people are facing - just that gives people hope.

Marginalized people will always find ways to speak up & out.

Satire is sometimes the best way of exposing the absolute insanity of those who govern.

The illusion of a "rules-based international order" was destroyed with the Biden support of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. And if it wasn't destroyed then, it is now. Trump (& admin) doesn't care about rules, laws. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This. Human rights belong to ALL of us.

Starmer is tying the UK to the untrustworthy US. And I would say that even if it was Biden or another Dem as president.

The last few days I noticed people post "starter packs". The biggest thing I noticed about these starter packs is how homogeneous they are. Mainly white people from the US and/or UK. What about amplifying black & brown voices? Voices from the Global South?

This.

One thing I didn't fully appreciate until I sat on a jury and reviewed body cam footage for myself, is how cops yell contradictory instructions at people like "Don't move" "Put your hands up" "Get the fuck out of here" "Keep your hands where I can see them" etc. all screamed at your face with guns

This.

"Self-defence" by US police (& ICE) means they just have to "feel" threatened. Not BE threatened. This has been the experience of Black people in the US. It is the reason for the BLM movement. So, no, I am not surprised that the ICE agent says it was self-defence because he felt threatened.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

The death of a legal observer in Minnesota by ICE is a warning to the UK in so many ways. We’re tying ourselves to a violent, corrupt, racist nation which does not care about its citizens. Reform believes in its model, Labour is appeasing it. It is the public who will suffer.

Well... I guess that explains the weak response from Starmer. So much for international law.

I'm running for Congress in MI-07 and I think this is a great idea. Any oil companies participating in this resource grab in Venezuela should be subject to international sanctions and investigation.

This. It is about the oil. Never about the people.

“We are going to run the country.” Ah, so we’ve skipped the legal fig leaves entirely now. Not democracy. Not justice. Not liberation. Just occupation of a sovereign country. Gotcha. Greenland must be looking at this very carefully.
