‘We are dying slowly, save us’: starvation takes hold in Gaza after a week of appalling milestones Parents watch children waste away as deliberate aid restrictions from Israel mean hunger is becoming a killer, as experts confirm famine is currently playing out The people of Gaza did not need this week’s official confirmation from UN-backed hunger experts that the “worst-case scenario of famine” was unfolding there. For months they have watched as their children waste away. “All my children have lost nearly half of their body weight,” said Jamil Mughari, a 38-year-old from Maghazi in central Gaza. “My daughter, who is five years old, now weighs only 11kg. My son Mohammad has become just skin and bones. All my children are like this. Continue reading...

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Funding to promote anti-LGBT conversion practices surges A new investigation from Amnesty International UK has found a surge in funding to promote anti-LGBT conversion practices. LGBT Humanists and Humanists UK have expressed alarm at these findings, especi...

'Conversion therapy' is nothing but hatred disguised as compassion. Each day it remains legal is another day someone in a high-control religious organisation is tortured. Beatings, forced prayer, and 'exorcisms' must be illegal. End this abuse. #BanConversiontherapy.

It's always fun when another country reminds Donold that the rest of the world still hates him.

Good morning, beloved.

A little bit of light can go a long way in illuminating the dark.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

i used to wonder how the world would react to an open genocide. turns out the answer is a mix of denial and fingers in ears. sir keith thinks he's been walking a tightrope but that's only true if the put contains some sort of moral stand. if the line isn't drawn here, then where?

If no amount of evidence can change your mind, then it's no longer a conspiracy. It's a cult.

Trump said again today some countries “are just gonna have to pay tariffs.”

The news is reporting that Japan, and possibly Scotland, may have to pay a “baseline 15% tariff.”

COUNTRIES DON’T PAY TARIFFS. AMERICANS BUYING THE GOODS FROM THOSE COUNTRIES PAY THE TARIFF.

Anyone STILL not get that?

Russia was never a hoax.
The 2020 election wasn’t stolen.
Tariffs are a tax on you.
Haitians didn’t eat pets.
The Epstein files exist.

Reality isn’t partisan — it’s just inconvenient.

Child sexual abuse affects 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys (CDC), why isn’t it a top issue in every election?

Oh dear a Christo-fascist US bigot is having his gigs in Canada cancelled and crying persecution.

It ain't persecution when all we're doing is stopping hate, bud.

Looking forward to reading my pre-release copy of this one! I have bought it, I got another copy of it by agreeing to review it (no strings attached, just agreeing to be part of the launch team!)

If your only solution to address the "root cause of homelessness" is to herd all of them into facilities and leave them there, then no, you have not addressed anything other than shifted some deck chairs on the Titanic. You resolved nothing.

Does Canada's government care that Gaza is starving? Their "insulting" response to my request suggests no. I asked them to respond to a message from a doctor who has been on the ground in Gaza. Here's why he called their answer "insulting" and "disappointing."
