Greta Thunberg is the best of us. If you are not on her side there is something very wrong with you.

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime. No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences. Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

All eyes on Gaza, people.

There are spontaneous protests throughout Italy for Gaza happening right now. This is in addition to calls for a general strike this Friday by the country's largest union (see above in thread) Here Napoli/Naples www.instagram.com/reel/DPRlQP9...

& here: Kieran Andrieu says the Alma has already been boarded by Israeli forces. "The whole flotilla is being intercepted." www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCAN...

Was with the families and friends of the Irish participants of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla earlier. It was great. They are great. But one line was 🔥 “You raise your child to believe that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. And then they go on a flotilla to Gaza. I mean!”

The police & the prosecutors were more like students with an essay crisis, than custodians of the public interest. This was Keystone Cops stuff. A typically excellent post from DAG on the Kneecap prosecution fail & why Mo Chara did not just get off on a technicality open.substack.com/pub/emptycit...

Irish and European governments have the obligation to ensure that the volunteers on the flotilla are protected under international law from these illegal actions by Israel

Frankly Insane CV. RIP Danny Thompson

Our friend, poet and activist Sarah Clancy, is on the Spectre, one of the boats on the Flotilla which was attacked last night. Contact the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to demand protection, there must be safe passage for all trying to break apartheid Israel's illegal siege of Gaza. #LiftTheSiege

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

What a perfect poem, not to mention the elemental play of the music. youtu.be/5Up_w6ntK9g?...

‘This policy sleight of hand is a ‘win’ only for investors, and the government’s supply target... So, 78% more units, but 41% fewer people housed, with the same draw on limited finance, construction capacity and infrastructure for far less impact.’

You’re saying a young gamer steeped in reactionary self-referential internet memes did horrifying violence in the real world for clout? Who could have ever seen this coming www.theverge.com/politics/777...

What struck the Gaza Aid Flotilla? After we published the story, the Tunisian Ministry of Interior issued a statement describing the incident “that took place yesterday” as a “premeditated attack” stating that an investigation had been launched.”

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

For my latest dispatch from Ireland for America Magazine, I talked to 2 bone fide legends, Sr Lena Deevy and Michael O'Sullivan, to investigate how, if you start to scratch, Irish attitudes to immigration aren't that far away from MAGAland. www.americamagazine.org/dispatches/2...

Good to see @alexiacobrien.bsky.social settle into her new housing policy advocacy role with a bit of pop

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

What's a poster you had in your room growing up? I’m not sure if it was this rendering exactly but definitely a pencil drawing of this photo

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
