How do I feel about frogs?
I named my publishing company, La Gr@not@ Press, aka @granota_hut, after them, so what do you think?

Shame on the subeditor/whomever at @guardian who concocted this misleading headline!
Citizens' assemblies are a step towards truly democratic decision-making.
The fact that POLITICIANS ignore or reword their recommendations is not the fault (nor the failing) of the assemblies!

An example of how headlines distort reality. If you read the article, experts on both sides put forward their OPINIONS*, but the headline suggests that citizens' assemblies have been completely discredited.
* e.g. that the GOV'T corrupted recommendations.

Anyone who claims to see anything different (than a stoned emu) is lying and probably attempting to hide the fact that they get stoned often enough to recognise the signs (in emus or other fellow stoners).
Don't be ashamed! Embrace the fellowship.😃😜🤪
@ankesux@ask_aubry I'm also curious to know who abused the BIL. Was it his mother? Father? If not them, weren't they at least negligent in protecting him? And why aren't THEY paying his lawyer and bond?! Instead of a SIL who's only met him twice?
He'd be much less likely to abscond if they paid.
@ankesux@ask_aubry If you have access to that subreddit, could you please point this out? https://t.co/eYQP3fXh0T
I'm neither a lawyer nor American, but I think signing a bond is equivalent to promising that she'll be responsible for his showing up for trial. If he runs off, she'd be in the shite!
@ask_aubry Apart from the paedophilia aspect, I BELIEVE that $10k is just a DEPOSIT on a $100k bond. If she pays $10k and the brother absconds through fear of what might happen in prison (see https://t.co/gD6QKfL6IW), SHE will be responsible for paying the remaining $90k.
Please tell her!

Don't just post about it. Support BDS! And if you're a member of a trade union or political party, demand that it support BDS!
It worked to end apartheid in South Africa. It can work in Israel. But only if it has massive global support.
Read ALT text. I vote: add UBLA to @Keir_Starmer's name.
You've got this slippery quality:
It makes me think of phlegm.

What kind of creature bore you?!
Was it some kind of bat?
They can't find a good word for you!

"Palestinians who don't support Hamas: leave home & go to Safe Area X!"

What does this remind me of?... Oh, YES!
"Higiene is important! Get rid of vermin! Line up for your showers, Jews! The showers have special cleansing agent Zyklon B."

Don't look away.
That might diminish your suffering,
But it will increase theirs
To know that they're forgotten, ignored.
Don't stop talking.
You may bore your friends,
But if your words change one stranger's mind, open one person's heart,
It's worth it.

@JoeBiden "My Hands Are Tied" has a VERY different concept of the word "emergency" to mine.
Me: Emergency! We have to do EVERYTHING possible to stop the slaughter of children.
JB: Emergency! Israel is using up ammunition too fast. We HAVE to supply more!
Jackie Kennedy is reported to have beat the chest of Robert McNamara (her husband's Secretary of Defense) and begged him, with tears running down her face, to stop the Vietnam War.
@DrBiden ("Let's finish the job!") evidently fully supports her husband's complicity in genocide.
