Judge Johnson has been a total disgrace. If you put together the list of all of his different actions to try to fix the Filton trial, it is astonishing.

No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?
Do people think Israelis fall out of the sky? They are Americans. They are from Germany, Russia, the UK, France.
It's a Western colony. Founded, armed, and supported by the West, and made up of Westerners.
It's true that Israel is not a US ally.
It is a US proxy.
And if you think there is some kind of moral incompatibility here, you don't know US history or geopolitics.
It is not about tourism; acquiring land along the #Albanian coastline is merely a cover for a project to control the most critical ports and waterways leading into the heart of Europe. What is unfolding is an attempt to secure an alternative to Russian gas, establishing a maritime route to transport gas from anywhere in the Middle East, through #Israel, and into Europe.
🚨BREAKING | Andy Burnham says that Israel's murderous assault on Gaza is NOT a genocide.
The aspiring PM added that he "can't judge" Israel for what they have done.
(Via @guardian)
"Burnham declined to describe the catastrophe on the ground in Gaza as a genocide. 'I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester,' he said.
Why not? Don't you have a phone? Can't you read the UN reports & ICJ?
This "Aw shucks I'm just a smol bean Mayor trying to become PM" shtick about *a genocide* really demeans him and the voting public. Get a fucking backbone.
There are images the West will replay forever.
The man before the tank.
The towers falling.
The girl with the painted sign.
And there are images the West will bury in disclaimers.
The mother screaming over a child in Khan Younis.
The ambulance struck on live TV.
The hospital courtyard turned into a mass grave.
Ask yourself:
Who benefits from that archive?
In 2015, Andy Burnham was trounced in the Labour leadership contest by a politician who really did ‘articulate & address the concerns of ordinary, working class people in a way that is rare in today’s front line politics.’ A result that Andy’s Blairite wing of the Labour Party never accepted.
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

The U.S. Congress has members who cannot agree on the price of insulin.
Who cannot agree on whether children should have school lunches.
Who cannot agree on infrastructure, or wages, or healthcare, or the age at which someone can buy a weapon designed to kill large numbers of people quickly.
But they agree on Israel.
Unanimously. Reflexively. Across party lines.
With a speed and unanimity that the American people have never received on any issue that affects their daily lives.
Ask yourself what produces that specific unanimity in a legislature that agrees on almost nothing else.
The answer is not shared values.
The answer is shared foundations.
The answer is that every one of those politicians governs a country built on the same premis.
And the same premise requires the same defense.
And the defense of that premise is the one thing that transcends every other political division.
The American ruling class is not unanimous on Israel because of Israel.
It is unanimous because of America.
"Never forget," they say.
But they choose what you remember.
Never forget Tiananmen.
Never forget 9/11.
Never forget the Holocaust.
But somehow, you are allowed to forget Fallujah.
You are allowed to forget Mỹ Lai.
You are allowed to forget Sabra and Shatila.
You are encouraged to forget Gaza while it is still happening.
This is not a culture of remembrance.
It is a culture of selective memory.
❗️BREAKING: A secret that everyone knew, has been exposed and unveiled by CNN.
Israel established a secret base inside of Azerbaijan.
• The secret base includes dozens of Mossad agents, special OP troops, elite heliborne troops, etc.
• The base functioned as both an intelligence base with special hardware and devices & as a drone operations base.
• Israel used Azerbaijan to assassinate Rahman Moghaddam, an IRGC figure within the intelligence division (with drones) — 1 day after the assassination Iran launched drones at Nakhchivan’s airport (which Iran denied responsibility).
• Azerbaijan also hosted secret meetings between ‘Israel’ & Syria
