My observation on the #Brazil elections, it doesn't help that Flávio #Bolsonaro looks a bit like the drug dealing, corrupt, fascist narco dictatorship supporting bad guy from #Scarface Alejandro Sosa.

Is that Jeremy "NHS Austerity Exercise Cygnus Responsible For Excess Covid Deaths" Hunt on the BBC Sunday telly shitfest...why yes of course it is, being whitewashed like all those Tories.

Now we know why Kushner was in Albania. Israel and Albania have finalized a government-backed military trade agreement that will supply Albania with advanced weapons systems. The deal was spearheaded by Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems. And PM Rama will make millions off this deal. WTF 🤬

Greece has joined the European protests in France, Spain, Italy and Albania. We are sick and tired of billionaires and their blatant theft.

If I was to write a haunted house story it would be about a techbro billionaire who buys an old castle, installs all the latest AI tech to make it a SmartCastle™, invites all his techbro billionaire cronies to a celebration party and the castle, in its ancient wisdom, destroys them all without mercy

@daliagebrial.bsky.social : "Sally Rooney.. was also making a point about the proscription of Palestine Action as an unprecedented overreach of govt power, an abuse of govt power.. [that] the actions of PA do not fit any conventional respected intl definition of terror.." 🎯

The hunger in the Gaza Strip is part of the election campaign in Israel. Yulia Malinovsky, a Knesset member and candidate on behalf of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, led by Avigdor Lieberman, a right-wing opposition figure, blocked trucks carrying food aid to the Gaza Strip and prevented their entry.

Can you guess what it is yet?

#BBCRadio4Today Aberfan disaster due to the NCB was tragic, as is the death of a mother and child in Ukraine due to Russia. Both got more hushed reverence from the R4Today presenters than the annihilation of 168 Iran School Children due to the USA and 20,000+ Gaza Children due to Israel. Just saying

Navi Pillay on #C4News: "The Genocide convention, which was passed in 1948, places a peremptory obligation on every state.. they are obliged to take action to prevent genocide wherever it is occurring or is about to happen.. its time now that they carry out these obligations"

#BBCSpotlight doing a bit on big dogs stuck in rescue centers. As usual the problem is clueless owners. Although I note the RSPCA trainer using food to try and train a high energy big dog, which isn't a great method.

Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate

The hypocrisy of the UK govt laid bare. Defence minister @lukepollard.bsky.social (talking about the Houthis & Iran): "You are responsible if you fire a missile at a civilian target.. countries should not have their civilian infrastructure targeted by extremists or by another state"

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

i got so many people calling this tweet fakeposting back when i made it but since this is bluesky and things have less reach on here im just going to post the photo

Not for the first time, I’d ask: what does it mean, if the press keep running campaigns claiming that country’s most horrific racists and bigots are the Green Party, the Labour left, Amnesty International, Stonewall, the police (I know) and Gary Lineker? Look around you. Does that feel right?

Google Maps Andy Burnham thing is so late stage capitalism, like when that Money Saving expert guy tells you to save 20p on your heating by drawing a circle in scarab beetle blood, on the roof of your neighbours house, under a full moon, while dressed as a goat, wearing a hand-knitted top hat.

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

#newsnight covering the Death Penalty... Peter Hitchens will be along any minute now to tell us why this is absolutely necessary I'm sure.

Why is a #Newsnight bit on the Tory Party conference got a slow PowerPoint slideshow of Andy Burnham to one side? Is it that the Tory Party polices would be dismantled too quickly if it got any focus whatsoever?

The Tories want an Iron Dome?

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.”

Most TV is just this now.

Centrica PLC British Gas: Billing=fucku Overseas Call Centers=fucku Resolving issues=fucku Complaints=fucku Contacting=fuck you Smart meter issues=fucku Appointments=fucku They turned "the customer is always right" on its head, everything is on their terms and fucku if you don't like it.

Super - No Intelligent - No Force - No Super Intelligence Force - No, No , No Fucking No.

BBC article on rise of AS on University Campuses. Stats are compiled by CST, hardly an honest brokers. "At the CSTs annual dinner, February 28, 2024. Sir Mark Rowley made a toast, while a CST trustee led the toast to Israel’s president." That's the president implicated in genocide by the way.

Lord Walney: "The idea of calling this a genocide is repugnant.. the way that Ireland made a fuss about this [football match] is reprehensible" How does genocide happen? Because of people like Lord Walney. There is no genocide without genocide denial

When I saw this picture randomly real quick on here of Edward Bluemel done up like Poirot I thought it was for an Omar Sharif biopic! bsky.app/profile/mrpi...

BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

Posted 18 hrs ago by "peoplesforumnyc: Right now in #NYC a massive crowd of #protesters take to the streets demanding war criminal #Netanyahu be brought to justice! #FreePalestine!" IG: peoplesforumnyc The People's Forum

BREAKING: Massive Attack’s Rob Del Naja arrested under the UK Terrorism Act outside Labour Party conference venue. The legendary musician was arrested after peacefully holding “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on a paper sign on the eve of Labour’s conference.

I'll never forgive journalists' complicity in Israel's genocide. Honoured to be interviewed about my new book The Fall of the West: How They Really Lost It by the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social's Oli Dugmore

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Problem with #EU tough talk on #USA is that the last 2 times the US drew back and let Europeans get on with it they screwed it up. If you're doing realpolitik, you'd let #Trump take #Greenland, rather than pretend to have principles. Same lot literally didn't give a toss about bankrupting Greece.

I mean, I told you so. The EU is pathetic and our leaders are spinless. #Greenland has been totally sold down the river, and the population of Greenland left impotent. #Denmark would literally have been better off selling Greenland to the USA and avoid the illusion. bsky.app/profile/pill...

With big thanks to @doctorofmusic.bsky.social, here's my discussion today with Lord Jackson about North Sea oil and gas. Tape your jaw to your face before watching. Really.

It’s important that we stand up in defence of freedom and democracy

#BBCNews Fiona Bruce emotional after a reverent article on WW2 veteran (teenager in 1940) who spent life educating kids about futility of war, has died. Sick of these hacks gliding over genocide in whitewashing it with veterans memories. What about all the dead teenagers in Gaza Fiona?

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Tom Watson who helped sabotage Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is now working for Palantir UK. The same Palantir who have stolen all the English NHS data and been paid to do it Watson even brags about this corrupt appointment to one of the most evil companies on the planet

That Mitch McConnell resurfacing video made me genuinely lol. He's like a little happy zoned out turtle strapped in there doing a cheeky thumbs up. This is what real US executive power looks like 😂

25 years ago today B3ta launched Well, 25 years ago today, we launched the version of the website you are familiar with, we were going for at least three months beforehand, if you check newsletter dates on issue 1. However most b3tans look at the board post date - so happy birthday us. Sort of.
