Stop Trump’s Palestinian land grab and defend Palestinians' rights.

Take action now with @MedicalAidPal. https://t.co/zZ7DNOjDvH

The Trump administration has moved to allow drilling, mining, and construction in all endangered species' habitats.

The Nolan Show makes for disturbing listening today. Difficult to reach any conclusion but that there remains deep reluctance in policing to effectively tackle loyalist paramilitarism. As Sam McBride pointed out, dissident Republican groups were “crushed.” What’s the difference?

He says “up the RA” for £86

…imagine what he’d do for £5m.

They let a 14 year old boy bleed to death.

They stood around smoking & telling jokes whilst he bled to death.

You have to wonder what Nazi Germany saw.

@Lowkey0nline exposes how a network of tech billionaires tied to Israel engineered an algorithmic coup to suppress dissent, alter your feed, and push you into fascism in real-time

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

In a new report, a UN commission of inquiry credibly sets out Israel’s responsibility for atrocities against Palestinian children and even identifies military units apparently responsible.

The US and other governments should immediately suspend weapons transfers to Israel.

Yesterday the UN commission of inquiry published a report detailing how Israel deliberately targets & kills Palestinian children

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

Simply don’t understand those willing to deny the evidence of multiple doctors from a variety of different countries; independent investigators all with long and established careers, journalists, survivors and witnesses, a pile of visual evidence as well as their own eyes - and still attempt to discredit those who report this. - whether they’re survivors, medics, academics or journalists…

[UN Human Rights Council Investigative Bodies @uninvhrc]

Israeli forces have killed over 20,000 children & injured 44,000 more since 7 Oct. 2023, Srinivasan Muralidhar, chair of the @UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory & Israel, told reporters today. #HRC62

Israel continues to commit genocide, atrocity crimes by deliberately targeting Palestinian children, @UN independent commission finds.

Relentless Israeli attacks are hitting Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon. Civilians and medical and rescue workers must be immediately protected. Pierre Boulet-Desbareau, our emergency coordinator in Lebanon, shares more about the deadly conditions:

“Since the morning of 19 June, 25 killed and 37 wounded have been brought into Najdeh Al-Shaabiyeh hospital, many in critical condition. Our team is responding to an influx of patients of all ages, including paramedics wounded during rescue missions. People are arriving with severe head injuries, heavy bleeding, shrapnel injuries and in need of amputations, while others are suspected to be trapped under rubble as bombardment continues.

“Just yesterday, 18 June, our teams witnessed people returning to their towns in Nabatiyeh governorate and searching through the rubble of their destroyed homes. They had gone back in the hopes that it might finally be safe. Instead, many are now once again trapped under bombardment.

“Meanwhile, some search-and-rescue and ambulance teams MSF supports and works closely with are unable to reach some of the wounded or evacuate some of the civilians because moving through the area is simply too dangerous, and because responders have repeatedly been put at risk of coming under Israeli fire while doing their job. 

“The ongoing situation in Nabatiyeh is devastating. What our teams are describing resembles a death trap. People are caught under heavy shelling, while rescue teams are unable to safely reach them. Civilians and first responders must be protected, and unhindered access for rescue teams is urgently needed.”

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.

I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.

I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

As a US-Iranian deal seems like it might be closer, Israel predictably bombs the Beirut suburbs, evidently hoping to sabotage the deal. Why does Trump put up with this and continue to arm and fund such obstructionism? https://t.co/lilzwfInWx

It’s happened again:

A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.

ICE decides not to deport.

ICE drops migrant off far from home.

Migrant dies in the cold.

Manner of death: Homicide.

Nearly identical to Buffalo case.
