Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

This sickens me 😔

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

The same man who cut children's cancer research and dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth is now a trillionaire.

Elon Musk’s dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine combined.

Silent massacres.

This is so disturbing.

@matthewstadlen is the grandson of Jewish refugees who fled the Nazis.

@beverleyturner denied the Belfast pogrom - where Black and migrants were burned out of their homes - was even a riot.

She then says:

"His paternal Grandparents were Central European émigré intellectuals who brought Marxist, anti-fascist and Continental philosophical traditions to Britain."

"Central European émigré intellectuals"

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

What kind of dogwhistle is this!

And what's the implication here about "anti-fascist philosophical traditions", as if it's a negative, alien import?

What the hell is being normalised in this country? What now qualifies as too extreme?

And where do you think this will lead?

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The sentences handed to four young activists for taking direct action at an Israeli arms factory are completely disproportionate and wrong.

They've been sentenced for a "terrorist connection" they were never charged with.

A clear miscarriage of justice and dangerous precedent.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.

Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.

As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.

Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

A judge has sentenced the Filton 4 as terrorists, behind the back of the jury, who only ever considered charges of criminal damage.

This grotesque distortion of the law tightens the screws on the public’s right to protest, placing more limits on our freedom to fight injustice.

So just to get my head straight and so I’m clear: the first pic is an act of terrorism and the second is an act of protest…… Have I got that correct??🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.

Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.

A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.

Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.

A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

You can vehemently disagree with Palestine Action activists goals, whilst simultaneously be horrified a judge can decide AFTER a conviction if it was terrorism related amd double a sentence.

Being able to class an offense as terrorism AFTER conviction without charging them with terrorism should bother everyone.

Any protest action that is now determined as trying to "change government policy" can have this applied.

So today it's Palestine Action, but next it'll be immigration protests, farmers protests, NHS, tax etc etc.

Meet Marlene Richardson.

Under a Coleraine Times post about international NHS staff being left "intimidated or too frightened to come to work" — she wrote:

"Burn then out no rapists no murderers no thieves not free benefits or housing burn the hotels 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥"

The post she commented on was reporting condemnation of violence against international health workers in Northern Ireland.
