NOBEL PEACE PRICE COMMITTEE: WE GIVE THIS AWARD, FOR PEACE

...

FIVE MINUTES LATER

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 5h

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

This is somehow simultaneously both the finest Scottish comeback ever and one for which neither Steve Clarke nor Scotland deserve any credit.

New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

I’m incredibly pessimistic that the ceasefire will hold, I just hope for the sake of Gazans that it does

We have restored the tent a little, and there are still a few repairs to be done, and to provide food supplies in light of the slight increase in prices. Don't forget me, my brothers.🖤🩷

We always knew that Labour cares about little else other than keeping private developers happy.

But here's proof showing off to JP Morgan despite destruction of some of the "rarest creatures in our country."

Let's make that description Labour votes.

"1488" is an explicitly Neo-Nazi slogan.

"Tomorrow belongs to me", is a reference to a Hitler Youth Song.
These are not concerned locals. These are White Supremacists chanting Neo-Nazi slogans in full view of the police just days after an antisemitic attack on a synagogue. In Aberdeenshire!

I finally have my ophthalmology appointment on Thursday. Major question will be how long the waiting list for actual surgery will be. Hopefully not another 2.5 years

Yousef needs to repair his tent. Please donate if you can

Message from Yousef:

We'll try to repair our tent soon, as it's starting to fall apart. We'll be moving to another tent without rent for at least two weeks. I'll need to raise at least $500, so the problem is that if I try to spread the word, my account will be shut down by BlueSky. The coming period will be a bit difficult.

Saw someone describe Greta Thunberg as being performative in being part of the Gaza flotilla. Sorry, thanks to the flotilla distracting the Israeli navy, Gaza fishermen have been able to fish for once, that’s major
