While we all condemn the U.S. strikes on boats off South America without due process, let’s also remember Somalia.

The U.S. has carried out more than 51 airstrikes there since Trump took power in January 2025. ⚖️🌍🌎

The US has been trying to take over Venezuela for decades - I'm sure it's nothing to do with the fact that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world.

Palestinians mourned 15-year-old Yamen Samed Hamed, killed in an Israeli raid on Thursday in the occupied West Bank town of Silwad.

Israeli forces reportedly blocked an ambulance from initially reaching the boy injured in the raid that used live rounds, tear gas, and stun grenades.

Who could have guessed that right-wing policies, participating in genocide and warmongering would make a 'Labour' government unpopular? 🤔

Because divide and conquer is, and always has been, government policy.

Everyone who cares about human rights and civil liberties should come out to witness this grave act of treason as the fascist Starmer regime orders the Met police to arrest anti-genocide protesters.

As Columbia capitulates to Trump over Palestine protest, student activists are regrouping Columbia University’s recent suspension and expulsion of more than 70 students for a Palestine demonstration is the latest sign the school’s crackdown on activism is not simply about campus conduct,…

"[W]e're watching babies' stomachs eat themselves from starvation in Gaza, and Columbia students are the ones on trial."

"In a sense, I feel free from this university."

"It's an honor to be expelled for Palestine."

I don't trust him either. Seems to me to be just like Starmer, promised what everyone wanted then turned full on fascist once his feet were under the table. Polanski is also a massive fan of Baddiel.

Hello, good evening and fuck Israel!
Well, it looks like the end of an era for me over on X. I'm done there. I won't be opening another account after they banned my final one and took off with a year's worth of subscription money. Cunts.
So I'm here for the duration.

In 2011 when Keir Starmer was DPP, there was only one State Attorney he met with - Moshe Lador. He accepted gifts & hospitality from Israel's SA. Two months later, he intervened to block the prosecution of Tzipi Livni an Israeli war criminal who was wanted for arrest in the UK.

Israel is starving Gaza because Israel is run by sociopaths. Our own western governments could easily force food and medical supplies into Gaza but they don't, because western governments are also run by sociopaths.

A Labour Party social media ad showing a cartoon picture of two people on a bus. On the left, a miserable, male, white passenger looks out of the window at a strange grey mass thinking: 'The Tories spending £40 million on VIP helicopters,' on the right, a happy, male, white passenger smiles at a sunset over mountains mumbling some bollock lie about Starmer cancelling a helicopter contract to improve veterans housing. Only a deluded Reform voter could believe this shit, so maybe they're onto something...

These nauseating target ads reveal 3 related things:

1. Starmer bankrupted the party, so quantity not quality, cheap as possible
2. The media team is led by someone's talentless, 60-year-old uncle who fancies himself pretty savvy & his mate
3. The party considers their target voters brain dead

How far the US has fallen under Trump. The EU adopting a measure normally reserved for China.

The US is now a security risk to its (former) allies.

News Graveyards: How Dangers to War Reporters Endanger the World A recent report by the Costs of War project looks at the toll of war on journalists coupled with trends in the U.S. news industry that have affected coverage of foreign affairs and war reporting.

"Since Oct. 7, 2023, the war in Gaza has killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan combined"

Canada says USA no longer the centre of trade, France calls for a cessation of investment in USA. Starmer looks around, and re-iterates that his father was a toolmaker.
