@alicemydaughter.bsky.social you're in some great company there. ❤️ Get down there folks!

May they have a truly terrible lonely existence.

“The reality is that the biggest danger to pedestrians is overwhelmingly drivers of motor vehicles. On average, more pedestrians are killed each year by cows than by cyclists”

Absolutely this. Fascist oppressors always rely on the oppressed giving up. How many transphobes have published performative media propaganda in recent years claiming the GC fight against “transgender ideology” to be “over”…? Never give up. We’re all worth fighting for & we’re still here.

I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs Clive Lewis, Lara Bird, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP Sam Tarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

Thinking about this - my neighbour had a stroke a couple of years ago that cost him a lot of movement in one side of his body and can only walk, very much not briskly, with a stick. What he does do is take a pedal assist recumbent e-trike at least once a week to Gateshead stadium from Heaton.

In an analogous domestic murder trial, the judge would instruct the jury to make an inference. I think the government argued only “not obligated” and did not argue ”can’t”, so it is clearly a choice that they made not to make it.

There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous. So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media. *WARNING: Article quotes Rowling's hateful language.*

Given how reluctant survivors can be to report these crimes, you can guarantee the real number will be at least twice that.😥

Although it is my field, I didn't really pay attention. I’m really shocked to find out that the UK accepts the physical component of genocide took place and only contests the presence of the intent component. It is in turn argued that the duty to prevent genocide only engages when both are there…

I am old enough to remember when social psychologists were telling us overt racism had disappeared and we needed magical tools to measure our unconscious racism. How quaint

It's polling day in Israel? Who will they choose to continue genocide? ❤️ www.normalisland.co.uk/p/israeli-el...

If this isn’t genocide and ethnic cleansing what is ?

UN report: "The Israeli authorities and forces have committed the crimes against humanity of extermination, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence in the West Bank, as well as persecution based on intersecting discriminatory grounds, with nationality, race and ethnicity at its core."

I think @sarahkendzior.bsky.social would say that it's because legacy media organizations are part of an elite network, mostly comprised of nepotism recipients, who have been financially or socially coerced or blackmailed into ignoring or covering up Trump's crimes for nearly half a century.

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

"In the occupied West Bank, more than 500,000 Israeli settlers can vote. They live among 3.1 million Palestinians who are subject to military rule and do not have the right to vote." People call this state a democracy.

Just a reminder..

Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age - when the victims are accused of racism to silence the grotesque horrors they face daily.

European dependence on russian fossil fuels is almost fully ended. The whole EU buts less than Turkey or South-Korea. Finanl nail in January (then only Greek shipping remains)

Wow BBC ! An apartheid regime is the opposite of democracy!

So... That Turning Point/UVF documentary with all the people admitting to actual crimes is going nowhere except the memory hole then, huh? Damn, you'd think that'd be at least one or two real journalists in the country capable of feeling shame about what that says about the industry.

That IS him cleaned up. He's like the last, forgotten fish in a tin.

Police Scotland are c*nts. Ask any law abiding football fan. They lie constantly. Not fit for purpose.

Anyone else fine if African nations began legalising the hunting of trophy hunters?

And has been regularly booked to appear on the BBC of late. Speaks volumes.

It only took them 4 years and 8 months. A UN Commission of Inquiry says Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, concluding they were intended to deprive civilians of essential services and cause suffering. #Ukraine

We need people to be loudly angry & boost our message right now. It's crucial given the current political climate.

Released after 8 hours detention apparently, but still.

Here’s the thing, I understand why Dennis & LGB Alliance are there. They claim to be community advocacy groups. There’s no justification for the presence of Helen Joyce, representing Sex Matters - who are no kind of LGBT advocacy group - other than ideological purposes from a transphobic government.
