"Unfortunately, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire 28-point peace plan was eaten by a small dog."

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.

I don't think of myself as particularly incisive, but there's a few on here (eg Imani) who help me stay sane by (like me) being able to both RECOGNISE THE COMPLETELY FUCKING OBVIOUS and NEVER GIVE ANY QUARTER TO NAZIS, EVER.

Idk who needs to hear this but a country that carries out terrorist attacks in your capital is a security threat

In occupied Ukraine, toys like these stuffed with plastic explosives, are left by Russian soldiers. This is terrorism, sanctioned by the Russian state. Once Russia is defeated, it must never be able to wage such a war on its peaceful neighbours again.

The crossover i never expected between my interests in resisting tyranny and rewilding.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

My heartbreak and horror at the killing and starvation of Gazans does not negate my total support and solidarity with my fellow jewish citizens across the UK against terror. The conflation on display by some politicians and media outlets over the last 24 hours is sickening.

View of the harbour defence gunners:

The recent three weeks have been pure madness. Drones across Europe, jets, "occupation of Moldova?!". And some still think putin will stop in Ukraine. That’s beyond naïve.

A friend reposted this by @zellieimani.bsky.social from 2020 and it remains apt: “For the oppressed, peace is the absence of oppression. But for the oppressor, peace is the absence of resistance."

U.S.-funded research has identified more than 210 sites where Ukrainian children have been taken for military training, drone manufacturing and other forced re-education by Russia, as part of a large-scale deportation programme.

Kid kills a guy for clout, resulting in people on-sight filming Tiktoks and stealing merch for clout. When the shooter is caught, the FBI director utters a 'gram-ready one-liner for clout. When asked about the death of his friend, the president talks about the ballroom he is building, for clout.

Fascinating that these recent political assassins are registered republicans and legal gun owners. Is there a psychiatrist out there who wants to take a crack at that one?

every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

It is a good thing when cynically ambitious politicians start doing the right thing because they think it's popular and will help their future electoral prospects. That's the point, it's how democracy is supposed to work at its theoretical ideal.

The nature of ruZZias war is evolving. The traditional image of symmetrical warfare—armies facing off across front lines—is being replaced by a post-symmetric model:

John is obviously talking about Texas, but a preemptive 'get fucked' to anyone saying the same if my town in Reform-voting Derbyshire gets washed away / burned to the ground.

Not one person will be able to say, "I didn't know."

Donald Trump is Kneecapping America and anyone who says different "isn't seriously paying attention", @hartmannreport.com tells @jacobjarvis.bsky.social. 👉 linktr.ee/americanfric...

I have absolutely no doubt that the idiots who confidently asserted this crap will memory-hole these predictions and confidently make some more equally ludicrous ones.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We get an incredibly high standard of jokes on this app

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

I think I feel the same. I hope that this fall-out scuppers them both, but my fear is that one of side of this movement will emerge from this even stronger.

Part 2:

Today’s spectacular attacks show just how very possible it is to defeat ‘superpower’ Russia.

Bombers? More like bombees

I celebrate the destruction of Russian long range bombers today just as I did when NATO took out the Serb Artillery around Sarajevo thirty years ago. Disarming those who attack civilians is always in the cause of peace

Democracy in action isn’t quiet. It looks like neighbors forming a barricade with bikes and bodies to stop a deportation van at 201 Varick St. It sounds like: “To get to our neighbors, you have to get through us.” That’s not chaos—that’s courage. That’s community. That’s what justice looks like

If you live in the UK, please consider signing this petition!

Normalization of Israel’s genocide in Gaza is normalization of Russia’s genocide in Ukraine. It doesn’t only move the Overton window towards the global acceptance of mass murder but it creates a system of legal protections for would be genocidaires like Putin or Netanyahu.

Making my slogan "Have we learned nothing from the Holocaust?" illegal is answering the question posed in my slogan "Have we learned nothing from the Holocaust?".

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

To my fellow British posters. Tomorrow's vote is more important than any amount of posting. Set an alarm and vote early. Don't let Putin's puppets run your council.

The best way we can fight fascism in the UK over the next few days is to mobilise the largest possible anti-Farage vote in the local elections. In a low turnout election, a voter mobilisation campaign can work. We can burst Farage's bubble. Please share this message Fight Fascism #Vote4Democracy

Hey media: If your headline says “Putin declares Easter ceasefire in Ukraine” without also including the fact that Russian forces haven’t stopped fighting for even a second, you’re just helping his propaganda machine.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

invisible hand of the market just tearily jerking off at this stage

But don't you dare call it Capitulation Day.

I don't know about anyone else, but if the markets recover most of their losses, I'll be looking at selling up any US stocks in my pension and moving investments to saner places.

Some comments from a non-US NAFO, for those protesting the trump-musk regime right now. I am delighted to see you all in the streets, but you'll need to be prepared for a long fight. We're not perfect, but NAFO has been helping Ukraine for three years now, and staying power needs strategy. 1/

All this needs to inflict widespread pain that is bad enough to be remembered for a lifetime, without digging a hole too deep to get out of. A narrow path to travel. Stray to either side and the US is over.

UK: "Brexit is the biggest act of national self-harm ever" US: "Hold my beer" "And this one" "And my other one" "And this bourbon" "And this cocktail of whatever the hell that is"

Nobody could have predicted, with the possible exception of everyone.

I'm beginning to wonder if trump is just Liz Truss in a fat-suit

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I'm ready to run through a wall for this woman
