Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

One-third of UK children grow up in poverty, higher risk of dying young.

In some areas 62% of children live in poverty.

Children’s education, health, future employment prospects destroyed.

Caused by govts - austerity, low wages, spending cuts, fiscal rules.

Poverty is a political choice.

Stop blaming migrants and tackle UK’s real problems, 100 charities tell home secretary A letter warns Shabana Mahmood that ‘targeting refugees will do nothing to tackle’ problems with housing and the NHS

Stop blaming migrants and tackle real problems, 100 charities tell UK Govt.

Govt follows Reform agenda, failed to develop effective counter narrative.

Migrants are vital part of economy, public services. Economic problems caused by inequality, austerity, privatisation, political corruption.

The Trump Administration’s War on Media Freedom: A Tale of Power, Profit, and the Erosion of Truth The Trump administration’s war on media freedom is a calculated effort to entrench hegemony, silencing dissent to protect its polarising authoritarian agenda.

thewire.in/media/the-tr... The Nixon era showed that resistance can succeed, but only if citizens, journalists, and institutions rally to defend the First Amendment. Without such action, the slide toward authoritarianism risks becoming irreversible.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

A Gilded Abyss: Trump’s UK State Banquet Was a Parasitic Spectacle Carol Ann Duffy’s poem “State/Banquet”, penned by outrage for the occasion, exposed this parasitic display, condemning an elite that thrives on inequality.

thewire.in/world/a-gild... -UK wages stagnated; US, 60% of households live hand to mouth. Duffy’s “uplifting flags of democracy” are a cruel irony, concealing bond of exploitation. $274 billion wealth amassed by 24 guests could fund food security for millions, yet it sits idle- pure greed

Royalty celebrates oligarchy—Trump’s second state visit to the UK While the British ruling class looks with envy at US imperialism’s place as the world’s hegemonic power, the American ruling class looks back fondly at Britain's traditions of aristocratic arrogance and impunity, and at the rapacious, blood-soaked example of the British Empire.

www.wsws.org/en/articles/... combined personal worth of two dozen richest at the table was $274 billion. The average figure per person of $11.4 billion is over 67,000 times the wealth of the median Briton. Between them, they represented companies with a market capitalisation of $17.7 trillion,

Dissenting civil servants are silenced, says UK diplomat who quit over Gaza Mark Smith resigned last August over the UK’s failure to stop selling arms to Israel.

Former official told the Gaza tribunal it is “fully understood" in the Foreign Office that discussions on UK relations with Israel should take place “in person and not in writing”.

Because "we didn’t want those conversations to be requested by a court”.

The Supreme Court has basically said that US government agents can profile, question, detain, or kidnap any one of the more than 65 million Latinos in the US, or anyone who looks vaguely non-white. Maybe the most terrifying SC decision in my lifetime and a leap off the cliff to genuine fascism.
