If the ones in charge won't do something to ban Israel from the competition the people will make them know they're not welcome here, anywhere.
Unbelievable scenes at the finish of the Vuelta de España today as Basque people turn out in a huge show of solidarity with Palestine. The race couldn't finish. 'Some things are more important than sport', the commentator said. Palestine wins the stage 💚

I've been disenchanted by party politics over the last few years but listening to the Zack Polanski interviews this morning I decided 'why the hell not'.
Labour have so willingly dragged the overton window to the right that is vital to get behind genuinely left platforms

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Zack Polanski now leads a party with the same number of MPs as Reform. What % of the press coverage do you think the media will give him in comparison to Farage?

This is the best lo/no alcohol beer I've ever tasted. Chug by Mash Gang.

Ps, No I wasn't paid for this post, but maybe I should have been 😉

Tehran doesn't even have fucking nuclear weapons! This is brutal, bullying behaviour by rogue superpowers. Iran is a distraction for the genocide in Gaza 🚨
If you don't realise by now that what Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide, then you are ignorant, a moron, or worse.
Gary Lineker is bloody great human who had the guts to speak out about Israel's genocide in Gaza where others would not. He's a FAR, FAR better person than probably almost everyone who is now cheering that he's leaving the BBC. I'll remain a fan Gary. Thank you 💚
Watching 'Turning Point - Vietnam' on Netflix and hearing about the mass murder of women and children, villagers, at My Lai, by American troops. Helps to understand more about why America is just fine with genocide in Gaza. They've done this all over the world, many, many times.

This is #genocide. It's being committed by #Israel.

Just in case the UK government, the BBC or your 'news' paper had you convinced that it was just another "war".

50,000+ Palestinians killed by Israel - tens of thousands women and children. Plus many more injured physically & mentally for life.
It's one of the least challenged but most pernicious linguistic abuses. It's total bullshit.

One of these supposed armies is five guys with AKs in a cage surrounded by dead babies. The other is a hyper-modern military that has 600,000 soldiers and unlimited support from the US.

....as a whole lot of humans wait staring transfixed at a chimney atop a monumental opulent building for white smoke to appear so they can all go yaaaaaay as black smoke swirls it's toxic hatred from israeli bombs over childrens bodies in Gaza.
One thing I've noticed in my workplace is that it's the WOMEN who are at the forefront of organising protests and fundraisers for Palestine. It's the women who are the bravest.
Calling the Gaza genocide a “war” is like seeing a man beating a toddler to death and calling it a “fight”.

If you call ethnic cleansing and genocide 'war' then you are supporting genocide propaganda.
Celebrating VE day while our government continues to arm a genocide in Gaza? No thanks.
I can't believe the world is STILL letting Israel slaughter Palestinians in Gaza 😢
Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world is giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.
