THIS is what you're defending, justifying and complicit in,
@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.

THIS.

How dare you lecture us about Hamas displaying a lack of humanity, in the face of Israel's blatant and constant barbarity and inhumanity. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This is shocking racism from Jenrick and Badenoch should sack him immediately.

No further comment necessary.

I'd like to know who the outsourced time travel partner is and why they were selected.

Was the selection process fair and open I wonder 🤔

The UK Reform Party is to politics what Reform School is to education.

Amirite?

Given that it was the Green Party conference last week

Does anyone know why Zack Polanski wasn't invited onto Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show, or onto Trevor Phillips's Sky News program?

A march in Manchester today of people waving the flag of the Zionist state. Not only does this hate march make Muslims, Arabs and many others feel terribly unsafe, it is waving the flag of a terror state actively engaged in genocide. Dozens more human beings were murdered by that state today.

Her card was very specifically dissenting against the government's actions.

It's a very very dark place that this road takes us to if dissenting government decisions is enough to get you arrested.

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

The aisle seat in a plane would be the best choice every time if it wasn't for the ignorant twunts bashing into people seated because they've got no idea how wide they / their own bags are, or they don't care about bashing into other people as their rush for their own seat is *so* great...

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Are they "negotiating" the terms of the 20 point plan they already "agreed" in Washington?

If they want a buffer zone why can't it be the other side of the border with Gaza? i.e. they get the fuck out of Gaza and then keep going for whatever distance of buffer zone they want.

"We are a Palestinian family from Gaza, uprooted and displaced by the ongoing war. Under heavy bombardment, our home was destroyed, forcing us to flee with nothing but the clothes we were wearing. Overnight, we lost everything"

Humanitarian appeal from Gaza: a cry for survival, dignity, and compassion

"I am making this appeal to the world, to kind-hearted people, and to humanitarian organisations: please do not let us face this suffering alone"

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
