Today’s London peace march for Palestine saw @libdems.org.uk out in force. Estimated 250k people attending, peaceful and united in their concern for Gaza. Yet a separate, much smaller rally, with arrests, gets all the headlines.

This inhumane concentration camp also comes at a cost of $450 million to US taxpayers. Where is the money going if prisoners are being served one meal a day?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Israel has killed more Palestinians in Gaza in the last 24 hours than the combined death toll of the Israel-Iran conflict

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers.
They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

So many people at the #Gaza march in #London today. It felt very reassuring to be surrounded by people who also think genocide is not acceptable. The people of #Palestine are very much in our hearts as we demand an end to the violence.

Went over to twitter to see if there were any numbers for the Gaza march in London today, and MY WORD, there are a lot of very angry people chatting nonsense and winding each other up over there. Quite a few are disturbingly enthusiastic about other people suffering and dying. Bleh.
