It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

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

Selling our house and when speaking to estate agents I wouldn’t entertain viewings from property developers or people buying it to rent it out (rent is about 1/3 more than a mortgage for this value of a property) - one agency told me this was ‘discrimination’. Lord above

For anyone who needs context, the burning of Cork in 1920 was in no way a ‘mystery’. British troops went from building to building, setting fires and then hung around to hold back fire-fighters, including cutting their hoses. The city centre looked like London after the Blitz.

The British Pathe title card for this film of the 1920 burning of Cork describes it as a “mystery fire” 🤔

The Burning of Cork by British forces took place on the night of December 11th and 12th 1920 during the Irish War of Independence. It followed

In which the Jerusalem Post outright rejects Tikkun Olam and EXPLICITLY THREATENS Diaspora Jews.

Believing this “genocide” charge requires intellectual sloppiness, moral cowardice, and flamboyant disloyalty. How else can we explain joining this unjustified pile-on against your own people, who were attacked so brutally? My advice: Sharpen your brains, grow a spine, and watch your back.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

When US citizen Leo Garcia Venegas tried to prove his identity by showing federal agents his REAL ID, they dismissed it as a fake and kept him detained, releasing him only after they bothered to run his Social Security number.

Just a few weeks later, they detained him again:

Mass Deportation Is A Threat To Us All

Aided by the Supreme Court and the insidious "Kavanaugh stop," the administration's chaotic mass deportation operations are sweeping up Americans – including children and U.S. military veterans.

Monstrous.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
