The chance of IDF thugs suddenly and finally taking their boots off the necks of Palestinians is basically zero.

You can't cure these psychopaths by signing a piece of paper. The hatred won't just stop.

The illegal settlements will continue to grow.

The Palestinians are still not free or HOME.

Reels will always be absolutely pointless noise in the Facebook feed. And soon absolutely pointless slop and a complete waste of time and bandwidth. Rather like the rest of Facebook, come to think of it.

We need more of these voices.

People need to understand that it's not being over-dramatic to be deeply concerned about all this and that something needs to happen to stop it, as soon as possible...

Starmer asking students to not peacefully protest the situation in Gaza proves how completely and utterly out of touch he is.

The 'kids' who get to vote in a few years will absolutely eviscerate him.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Today is the 89th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. On 4 October 1936, ordinary east end Londoners stood up to Mosley and his British Union of Fascists, refusing to let them march through east London.

Honour their legacy. Don't ignore fascists. Stop them.

They shall not pass. No pasarán.
