I can however see exactly how it translates into at very least e.g. many more fishermen getting murdered, now with the imprimatur of the world’s humanitarians, on the excuse that he’s doing it for democracy

To be fair, I was expecting the business suit and briefcase tactical squad to go straight into Number 10 the day after the election, rope-swinging down from Tony Blair Institute For Change helicopters, just to underline yet again that Fuck you, Britain is not a democracy: you get what *we* want.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Are you thinking "TFI Friday"? Well in Ukraine it's just another day of lying in a trench, piloting a drone, evacuating hot spots, treating the wounded, or trying to keep the family safe.

And it's Day 1325 of this, following another night of little sleep for Kyiv. Here's the🧵

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Breaking | Amid the ceasefire agreement and Israeli occupation forces withdrawal, the bodies of 81 Palestinians have been recovered from multiple areas across the Gaza Strip since this morning, including 73 in Gaza City alone.

This is just one day. Imagine how many Palestinians have been killed 😞

The image shows several men carrying a white body bag through a narrow street lined with makeshift tents and temporary shelters. Some people, including women and children, sit or stand nearby, watching solemnly. The mood is somber and heavy, reflecting grief and exhaustion amid widespread devastation.

As forcibly displaced Palestinians were attempting to return to their destroyed homes from the south to the north, Israeli naval vessels opened fire directly at them in a bid to prevent their return northward، and further tighten the siege on those trapped in the south.

While I'm not one who believes that electoralism will fix everything, it is true that as long as wealth inequality and other social injustices worsen, life gets harder for most people in the country.

And as an immigrant in the UK I want - and NEED - my neighbours to have their lives improved.

I genuinely believe that if the Greens remain consistent with their messaging and politics, a sizeable percentage of people who are disillusioned with Labour or who vote Reform as a protest vote or who simply don't think voting is worth it (etc) would be persuaded to join the Greens.

I agree that unilateral disarmament would be utter folly at the present time, but maybe our over-reliance on US defence products is proving to be not such a wise move after all.

Oh dear that failed spectacularly as the BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. And it was a perfect example of how to cut through establishment propaganda with clarity and compassion.

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

Leader of the Greens, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, is right that the richest could and should contribute more, while still remaining well off. Also, that they can't pick up and move the land they own: wealth flight is exaggerated.
Britain can be, and must become, fairer.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️
