Safe travels, Mr. Chekov. And thank you.

In news that will surprise no one from Reuters: "UN inquiry says Israel kept committing genocide in Gaza after truce" My dear friend and her family in Gaza have lost everything. They rely on donations. Please give if you can. No amount is too small. And help others. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1981...

Looking forward to the possibility of Israel voting out the guy who committed genocide in Gaza in favour of the guy who explicitly declared war crimes to be an inherent part of Israeli tactics in Lebanon And then being gaslit by the media that this counts as progress

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

I recommend reading this www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

And the BBC offered them a much greater platform

The genocidal state cannot stop itself from continuing to commit a genocide, and all the ‘ceasefire’ has meant is reduced media coverage. Israel has never stopped murdering civilians and destroying homes.

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

About 90,000 properties still without power after two storms strike Britain

Isn’t that what ‘leading’ means in the context of becoming pm

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

I did not expect the description to just be a description of what happened, but that’s literally what happened. White parents called the cops on a little kid for playing football

I still don’t think most people understand how violent French police are These are just two videos: x.com/ilangabet/st... x.com/zechedli/sta...

One of my absolute joys in the past few months have been seeing people discover Maphra for the first time. I just showed her covers to a friend and I go to relive how I felt the first time

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Lula won holy shit

Following here. Lula leading but it’s very tight still www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Wow Vucic concedes defeat to the student protests!

Nick Shirley got his start “streaming” traveling WITH HIS MOM to Springfield, Ohio in 2024 amplifying gutter racism against Haitians which ultimately led to them to lose TPS status and some have lost their lives upon deportation. His legacy is already death.

“The housing crisis is reaching a breaking point in Portugal. We need your attention. Yesterday, peaceful protests brought together tens of thousands of people across the country - and ended with brutal police violence. Here's what's going on.” More here: hortensia.social/@teclista/11...

Seems to be loads of attempts by pro-Bolsonaro elites to make sure pro-Lula Brazilians can’t vote on time

The PM of the only Middle East country with nuclear weapons is warning that if he doesn’t win a country without a nuclear weapon will drop a nuclear weapon on Tel Aviv - using AI, because of course

“We are all antifascists” in Italian in France (The Italian version is the better known one)

This is amazing! Albania 💖 #albania

Editor: You get those photos of Abdul El-Sayed? Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked. Editor: what

The framing of “after attack that killed 2 soldiers” is an Israeli one. It implies that there’s a reason for why entire buildings are being demolished other than an ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing by an Apartheid state. Israel does this on ‘normal’ days too. They never stopped doing this.

We should prepare to campaign for the man arrested

This looks way more than 110k x.com/pierricklvn/...

Police estimates of protesters in Paris alone seem very conservative. From aerial footage, looks way more than 110,000. Meanwhile, police starts erupting:

It is entirely manufactured by a fairly small number of rich people shado-mag.com/articles/opi...
