Don't think the quiet part has ever been louder than in the "Palestinian refugees accidentally allowed into Ukrainian refugee program" story

Spain stopped supplying Israel with weapons, recognised Palestine and will arrest Netanyahu.

¡Viva España!

Thank you for this and the other images. They're absolutely exquisite although I preferred the elegance of the close up ones. Happened because of you and I hope the images are used more 🙌🏽

Thought I'd seen most of them and watched the Granny Mobile episode. Muffin has main character syndrome 😂

Couldn't decide and so I did both. Can only live in hope that one comes through

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches.

Like if he needs to resign.
RT if he needs to be fired.

We need to talk more on BlueSky about Gaza.

My Spotify Wrapped has dropped. Dunno what it says but ahem it's been a complicated time. Gospel got me through the pandemic and then in 2022 I was in Stormzy's top listener bracket - what a pivot.

Everything about this is horrifying. Hundreds of women from Sub-Saharan African countries reportedly raped in past 18 months, people being beaten and abandoned in the desert, by a police force Europe is funding. Starmer should not be ‘learning’ anything from this www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Being out in cold weather can be dangerous, especially if you have nowhere else to go. ❄️

The replies to the equivalent posts on X are off the scale angry and a contrast to 🦋.

It's interesting that on X these folks are now being constantly shouted at when they are pretty central, factual reporters. Marginalised groups have endured deranged comments for years unnoticed. The hate spreads

Holy Moly! Should have known it was all her fault.

In the last week, Kemi Badenoch has become leader of the opposition, Labour put up tuition fees in their first budget and Trump has been re-elected.
The mass killing of innocent adults and children in Palestine continues.
What is recognisable in this world.
