Donate to Urgent Aid for Rania's Family in Gaza Crisis, organized by Dara Starks Hello, I am Rania Kawarea, a Palestinian … Dara Starks needs your support for Urgent Aid for Rania's Family in Gaza Crisis

My dear friend Rania is 6 months pregnant and malnourished. She's been an absolute hero keeping her family together but times are really hard. Just the other week she's been displaces again. Any help is welcome:

Are you not gonna put your arm around them and say they can kill more kids if they just spread it out a bit? Not give 'em some numbers? Oh, wait, not give them bullets and guns? Crazy.

Oh yes, let's let the NYT be our guide on whether or not it's good to kill journalists.

I hate it how my heart breaks for so many wonderful, exceptional, people killed by these Israeli bastards and gloated about by the most horrible people I'd avoid sitting next to on the train. They kill beauty and celebrate. Fascist pigs.

This part, from NYT. Just inhuman.

Police arrest 474 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Number of arrests was highest recorded in relation to single operation in at least past decade, according to Met police

“UK civil liberties are trapped in a manufactured crisis. Peaceful citizens of conscience – including pensioners – have become terrorists, at the will of a human rights lawyer turned authoritarian who now lunges at opinions that expose the moral vacuum of his unrecognisable government.”

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

A UK commander from the Thatcher era is saying that Starmer is too extreme.

How can I be making any of this up? bsky.app/profile/arus...

I suggest that government policy should not be so obviously cruel, vexatious, farcical and insulting that *Richard Madeley* can effortlessly show you all up as clowns, liars and bullshit artists

RELEASED

We can now confirm that every arrestee from the Lift The Ban sign-holding action has been released. None have been charged.

Hundreds of the arrestees were taken to police cells. Hundreds were processed in pop-up gazebos after queuing for hours.

American followers: I cannot put into words how extremely good at politics you have to be to get outclassed by Richard Madeley. It’s like losing a game of tic-tac-toe to a dog.

The fact that the Dems are not acting and talking 24hrs a day to work against the ongoing genocide kinda tells me that it would've been very very similar. Crickets, some thoughts and prayers when they can't avoid not saying anything. I'm in UK/EU and the spinelessness of all states is unforgivable.

None have been charged!!

What does it say about the law if you arrest over 500 and do not charge a single detainee?

They have the Pope an excuse for bombing the Holy Family church but even the Pope's top diplomat openly said he's not buying it.
Who is going to get them to stop?

Israel Expands Offensive in Gaza and Raids a W.H.O. Office

For a while there was too little coverage of the starvation in Gaza and the shootings at aid sites, but what strikes me now is how much coverage (relatively speaking) there is in print and even TV, and yet Israel keeps ratcheting up in plain view.

“The enforced malnutrition and attacks on civilians will kill thousands more if not stopped immediately. Every day of inaction means more children will die not just from bullets or bombs, but from hunger” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The House of Commons is now in recess until September 1st, so I’m sure the starving people of Gaza will be greatly impressed by the moral fibre of our government. This, and that letter! Leadership and governance!

I can get so happy with organised cupboards. Such a rare occurrence! 🥹

Why even procrastinate if you're not a perfectionist? Procrastination=/=laziness; it's not like you're not doing your thing because you don't want to, it's not doing it because of the anxiety of doing it not well enough?

She could've voted for the amendment? I don't get why she should NOT get crap about this. It is bad to send arms to Israel, she acknowledges that they are committing genocide. There's nothing good about not putting more pressure on Israel to stop killing people all around them. But I'm not from US.

Du Bois on what these assholes were really like

Yes, we have! Worse even, no longer giving a flying ef!

Adorable!! 💕

Phillipson is being an idiot. Let’s keep the squeeze on.

This letter now has 700+ signatures. Shall we get it to 1,000 before the Tuesday deadline?

Then I’ll print it all out—with every name—and post it to her, plus copy to every supportive MP I know.

Maybe only "the law is an ass" school of thinking can explain how Palestine Action can be proscribed as a terrorist group, and yet it is not terrorism to do exactly what Palestine Action does so long as you're not doing it under the banner of Palestine Action.

This sounds like a quick and simple hack to get a lot of people in trouble for having unacceptable opinions. A bit steroids-stasi, no?
