Rage rage against the dying of the light
I was so much older then I’m younger than that now

you see this red splotch covering Gaza? it is made of red dots, each single dot represents an airstrike under the Biden’s administration. it took two years of tremendous relentless unforgiving bombing and 4 US vetos to complete. you can’t regret your way out of this.

As long as I live, I’ll never comprehend how our country could go on like it’s no big deal this abject fool is our president. Yeah, Trump’s crazy. But our electorate choosing him twice? Congress rolling over for him? Media normalizing him? That is utter insanity.

Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”

@novaramedia Identifying far left “terrorists” that must be stopped before they do anything is the pretext for repression and the end of a democratic state.

🚨 If you watch this 5mins video of Argentina vs England you'll think there was no referee in the match.

The referee should be investigated because this is pure corruption that even those learning how to watch football will understand.

@atrupar Strategic ambiguity? No, I suspect he doesn’t know what he is going to do.

There is not one single change in Burnham's policy towards Gaza, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon or Iran:

or towards the outlawing of protest at home.

@Megatron_ron So he doesn’t know.

@malonebarry What process is in place on our bases to assess “defensive strikes” and not allow US aircraft to take off if we are not satisfied that it has a “defensive” intent?

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Oh fuck you. FUCK you. You don't get to do this now. You don't get to turn around and go "Oopsie poopsie, we made a mistake!" This was YOUR genocide, motherfuckers. YOURS. You chose it. You own it. Forever. The stench of the rotting corpses in Gaza will follow you for all time.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

So Israeli settlers attack a Palestinian village, throw gasoline through a window onto a baby, nearly burning the young child alive, and beat a pregnant woman with stones.

Zero Western media coverage.

The complicity runs so deep...

[Richard Bennett @RichardBennetuk]

@Megatron_ron It is impossible for Britain to assess and judge whether a US attack has a “defensive” purpose.

I think this might be the single craziest "antisemitism" tantrum I've yet seen. These people are bat shit insane.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Too late.

The water that should be keeping our rivers flowing now washed off into the sea months ago. It did so in part because the EA is fixated on flood risk, & not on re-naturalising our rivers & landscapes to retain water & release it gradually. Indeed, if someone came to you & offered to do this work (re-wiggling rivers, building ponds, re-creating marshes etc) to prevent drought on their river, you would demand they pay you for a permit to do it & then prosecute them if they went ahead without one.

It looks like someone put plastic in your tea. 👀

Most commercial tea bags, including ones that look like paper, are sealed with polypropylene, a petroleum-based plastic.

When you pour boiling water over your tea, the heat causes those plastic fibers to shed directly into your drink.

A McGill University study found that a single plastic tea bag releases approximately 11.6 billion microplastic particles and 3.1 billion nanoplastic particles into one cup of tea. Not over a lifetime of drinking tea. Per cup.

Researchers at the University of Barcelona confirmed those particles are absorbed by human intestinal cells and can enter the cell nucleus.

The long-term health effects aren't fully understood yet. What is understood: you're drinking billions of plastic particles every time you make a cup.

The fix costs about $12 and takes 30 seconds to learn. Loose leaf tea. Stainless steel infuser. Done. The tea tastes better anyway.
