every child you see with mangled legs being hopelessly carried, every person you see lit on fire, all the dust covered faces, they were a whole universe. to themselves and everybody they knew. lives as complex, joyful and difficult as yours. it kills me. i’ll never get numb to it
Israel knows it can commit war crimes with impunity.
That is why it has launched its largest assault on the West Bank since 2002.
We are witnessing the total erasure of Palestine - and our government is shamefully complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.
Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
“I’ll expect you to feed me, bathe me, brush my hair, hold my hand, recognise me when I have ceased to recognise myself and be the last human touch I may feel before I die.
But I do not think, at the same time, that you deserve a family life.”
I can’t help feeling that what’s happening in Gaza is the beginning of the end for all of us. If we can have a genocide live-streamed during the Super Bowl and say nothing, theres no challenge in the coming years that we won’t fail.
The UK people woke up to find there are now in active war in the Red Sea, and currently bombing Yemen. Zero warning. Just Sunak and his cronies repeating a cyclical history of illegal wars. Dragging UK citizens into a war, which no one voted for. Let alone consulted. Disgrace.
Let's face it. They turn up expecting every entitlement. We give them free accommodation and subsidised food. Some even commit crimes while we fund them! They may pretend to integrate with us, but really they hate our culture and our laws.
Put these Tory ministers on a barge.
We live in a grotesquely unequal society that concentrates wealth, status & power in the hands of a few.
Real patriotism is about building a society that cares for each other and cares for all.
Welcome to Britain! We are a normal country. Also today we watch a man with an estimated wealth of 2 billion get a parade and a hat fitting which will cost millions in our money whilst people can't afford food or rent and if you protest it youll get arrested. It's great here.
Got a spare Paramore ticket for the M.E.N on 18th April if anyone wants to join us in reliving our youth.
Those who don’t call it the M.E.N still need not apply 😂
