We’ve found out that 3/4 of police forces across the UK are using technology to try to “predict crime” - and almost no one knows about it. But we’re trying to stop it. Sign the petition: https://t.co/CYcMC5eQVK

The last 40+ years of Square Mile First politics has fuelled a ‘resource war’ mentality in deprived communities and profoundly alienated individuals the length and breadth of Britain.
Vague appeals to ‘unity’ and ‘hope’ will wilt, fast, in the face of this instinctive backlash.

@RiccardoLaT0rre @LabourParty @YvetteCooperMP I wouldn't trust that bunch of charlatans to deliver a pizza, let alone real change for the Fire Service or any other broken parts of society.
Yvette Cooper ffs.

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.

Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.

But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.

We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.

Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.

We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.

Looks like someone on Vinted is using a deceased relative as a model! 💀

@revoltinghippie @PeterSharpley3 @XRLambeth Which fire service area is this?
Disgusting if they're assisting police to remove protesters.
Humanitarian resources should only be used to protect and preserve life.

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

New piece on Zone of Interest: the speech, the lies, most of all, Glazer's harrowing warning about how genocide can become "ambient."

This is what feels most contemporary, most of this terrible moment, about Glazer’s staggering film.

@MichaelRosenYes Dad, when asked what he was making in his shed, would say " a thing to make fools ask questions." it took us years to understand he meant us. He was Irish from Limerick, but I don't know if the expression came from there.

Strong statement from Christian Aid, Global Justice Now, Oxfam and War on Want 🇵🇸

"Until the UK Government calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and suspends its arms sales to Israel, it is complicit in the slaughter of innocent civilians taking place every day in Gaza"
