"[A]mongst those of us privileged enough to fly, and make decisions about energy policy that will impact others more than ourselves, we appear oblivious to the catastrophe we are seemingly complicit in. Cognitive dissonance or a deliberate attempt to maintain privilege and global inequalities?"

"what I find most disturbing is that the use of aviation remains typically unquestioned, placing increasing pressure on other industries to move more quickly, despite its dominant use by a privileged minority." - Prof. @aliceclimate.bsky.social

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

Why should I trust a state that is currently aiding a genocide and trying to suppress protest, with an ID card system, especially with a Reform govt on the horizon?

TG42Birder🇵🇸 @tg42birder.bsky.social · 23h

I don’t trust a party that is currently aiding a genocide and trying to suppress protest with anything like an ID card system.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

They love a bit of long-haul and a break somewhere nice. Often to promote themselves even further. Hence their refusal to even discuss it.

Their aggressive approach of branding people who refute their optimism as doomers is rapidly losing relevance.

Good for them.

The genocide that Starmer is aiding hasn’t had a day off, so there’s no reason why anyone against the genocide should stay quiet.

Is Starmer ever going to ask Israel to stop the bombing for even a day so that Palestinian people can grieve in peace for the tens of thousands killed by Israel?

I won’t hold my breath.

Adam @adamfi.bsky.social · 1d

Beggars belief that Starmer demands an end to Palestine protests so as not to offend. Meanwhile Israel continues to bomb Gaza even during the remembrance services and ongoing peace talks.
