Rarely on here at the moment but had to pop back after sharing that tweet. I know the term cis gets automatically shut down but dont think I've ever seen someone's name getting that reaction.

Pope Francis used his final public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza: “Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism.”

Even in hospital, he checked in daily on Gaza’s Christian community.

The world has lost a brave voice for peace and justice.

sraeli murdered a husband & wife while they slept in their tent in the so called safe zone of Al Mawasi. Israel also bombed a house in Khan Younis, murdering a mum, dad & their children. Israel also targeted a Palestinian fisherman who was catching fish.

Dr Majdi Salem: "Israel has deliberately targeted libraries across Gaza. What they are doing is well calculated"

A report by Hani Mahmoud on how Israel has destroyed libraries in Gaza.

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.

Expel the Israeli Ambassador.

Israel is relentlessly bombing Gaza. Since early this morning, more than 40 Palestinians confirmed killed in Israeli attacks. Among the targets was an UNRWA clinic housing displaced people in Jabalia, killing at least 19. Children among the dead.

After a month of blocking all food from Gaza Israel says there is plenty of food in the strip. The UN says thats ridiculous.

In other news all bakeries have now been forced to close because of a lack of flour and fuel.

Tahani Mustafa: Israels strategy "is to make the strip completely uninhabitable for its population.. what we are seeing is what many of us predicted from the outset.. you're going to see Gaza quite literally razed to the ground"

Exactly.

🧵You’ll see headlines calling the UK “the sick man of Europe” and claiming disability benefits have doubled. But between 2010–2023, the caseload rose just 23% (from 2.6m to 3.2m). They inflate the numbers by quietly switching time periods. It’s misleading — and dangerous. 1/6

I can vouch for all three of these guys

Starmer offered big US tech firms tax cuts in return for lower Trump tariffs Exclusive: UK willing to placate Trump with lower digital services tax rate also encompassing non-US companies

What a despicable coward

Take from the disabled, but give to Musk, Bezos and their ilk

Bakeries across Gaza have been forced to close today because of a lack of flour and fuel, caused by Israels total blockade of the strip.

Image of newspaper frontpages from last week reporting on the scale and impact of benefit cuts for ill and disabled people

There was rightly concern last week when OBR & DWP documents revealed that £4.8bn of cuts to benefits for ill & disabled people would push 250k people into poverty, including 50k children

But @neweconomics.bsky.social analysis suggests the true scale & impact of these cuts will be even greater... 🧵

Today marks one year since Israeli forces attacked clearly-marked World Central Kitchen vehicles — killing 7 WCK workers, including an American

I put my speeches from Wednesday's @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social protest against Labour's Spring Statement on tiktok, and they're up to a combined 20k views now. The comments are heartbreaking. I'm still mostly in bed - made it outside today for an hour, though ❤️

I also want to add that, in addition to all this, Vance's puppeteer Peter Thiel owns Palantir, which has been testing surveillance and metadata-scraping predictive targeting algorithms on Palestine for more than a decade. Facial recognition and information tracking coupled with all this is Bad.

Marked for Assassination: Gaza Journalists on Israeli Hit List Refuse to Stop Reporting Israel singled out six journalists. After it killed Hossam Shabat, the others discuss reporting in the crosshairs.

Our @dropsitenews.com colleague Hossam Shabat, who was assassinated by Israel last week, was on an Israeli hit list. Sharif Abdel Kouddous spoke to four other Palestinian journalists in Gaza on the list. These brave journalists refuse to stop reporting. 🔽
