“What is the point of having power," she says, "if you will not use it to stop crimes against humanity?”
Jewish Presidential appointee Lily Greenberg Call resigned in protest at its refusal to stop arming Israel. It's an astonishing letter.
Update: a few minutes after tweeting this, her X account was suspended 🤨
Well, what do you do when you're in a polling hole, yes, you double down on attacking the poor & the vulnerable.... Jeremy Hunt & Mel Stride are portraying taking benefits as a 'lifestyle choice' that the Govt. should not support...
Have they got any idea about the world outside their Tory enclave; have they ever tried to survive on benefits; have they ever suffered ill health?
Hunt & Stride are vile, inhumane, people who care about no-one but themselves
"It's not because we didn't value democracy but because our democracy didn't value us. " The rise of fascism..
"Thank you for taking the journey with me by reading instalments from the Green & Pleasant Land- the book my Dad was working on before his death. So far, you have travelled from Harry Leslie Smith’s birth in 1923 until 1941.
Today we mark 76 years since the #Nakba, or catastrophe, when over 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes and countless villages were wiped off the map during the establishment of the State of Israel. The Israeli government has continued the Nakba by carrying out a policy of land expropriation and deprivation of Palestinians’ fundamental rights from 1948 through today. (1/4)
This history — together with our history as Jews of facing ethnic cleansing and mass slaughter — compels us to call for an end to the Israeli military’s genocidal assault on Gaza and to work towards an equal, just, and thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis, free from ethnic cleansing, violence, apartheid, and oppression that reckons with and addresses the Nakba and other injustices. (3/4)
As we bear witness to the continuation of the Nakba over the decades, we recognize the chilling parallels between 1948 and today’s catastrophe in #Gaza, as the Israeli military slaughters tens of thousands of Palestinians and forces over a million people from their homes – the largest displacement of Palestinians since 1948.

King Charles formally comes out as Satan, Lord of Demons
We need to respect his lifestyle choice
The bloke called Charles, who happens to be the British head of state due to some weird fairy story about how he inherited magic blood from his German mother and her Nazi cousin (blood so special it made his brother and uncle paedophiles), has made a dramatic announcement: he is actually Satan.
The business sector has woken up to the fact that the Tories various policies to wreck the university sector is actually bad for business;
a group of international firms have written to Rise Sunak warning that further curtailing student visas & the resulting (deepening) funding crisis for universities will reduce inwards investment.
The problem is the economic madness of wrecking higher education has been clear for ages; the Tories just don't care about the economics
Back from a looooong 13-mile+ walk that included a 1100ft increase in elevation. A few pics to share. First a panoramic view of a horseshoe shaped valley that probably involved something like a 150⁰ pan
A couple of pretty spots passed on the way to the viewpoint. Can anyone save me the trouble of identifying these purple flowers? I saw them safe from human hand, tucked into the rocky opposite side of the canal, in a shaded spot #Cymru#Wales#photography
More evidence of greedflation & the maintenance & boosting of profits, as a driver of inflation.
But, the Q is whether the sado-monetarists care about such evidence or are happy to continue with the ideologically driven economic modelling that asserts greedy workers as the ket cause of inflation?
Oh we know the answer, the BoE will be quoting three month wage rise data not profits' trends across years, because that doesn't support disciplining the workforce.
76 years later, Palestinian return to the homes and lands we were expelled from in 1948 is feasible and, of course, legal. To Palestinians, it is also sacred and inevitable.
