…”Israel declared war on the Palestinian people. And our leaders are slowly declaring war on us, whether it be those protesting the Gaza genocide, or those opposed to a consumption-driven West’s genocide of the planet”

… same battle, with exactly the same enemy!

Genocide two years on: It is the West, not Gaza, that needs to be deradicalised

This brutal war on Palestinians has not just unleashed Israel's demons. It has unmasked our own regimes, as they crack down on humanitarian activism

Price fixing used to be illegal
Now Labour, Tories & Reform collude
in fixing energy prices to gas
so the billionaire press can lie
saying renewables are expensive
when they are FAR CHEAPER
than nuclear and ALL fossil fuels
so successive governments
are intentionally making
energy consumers poorer

The ridiculous and indefensible overreach of British authoritarianism. This is the responsibility of successive Labour Home Secretaries & the Home Office. It should not be allowed to happen & once it has the law should be revised or reversed.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 1d

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

Her ‘bullyboy’ attitude to the law, solely because she has the money, could possibly be described by a court as ‘vexatious’.

In summary, "vexatious" describes actions that are annoying and lack a legitimate basis. It serves as a warning against using the legal system for harassment rather than for resolving genuine issues. Courts strive to maintain fairness and justice, ensuring that the legal process is not misused.

The fact that Starmer has done nothing demonstrates that he is on the same team as Farage to steer the UK towards corporatism/ fascism.

When the BBC board is stacked with genocidal fascists this is what happens. Fascist Starmer has done absolutely nothing to address it.
