A new @amnesty report concludes that Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. By continuing to transfer arms to Israel, the US government is violating its obligation to prevent genocide and risks being complicit.

Arms embargo now! https://t.co/p6gGB9eMTX

Man in red, "Nazis blamed Jews.. We're now blaming migrants, legal or illegal, for damage to our country"

"Migrants weren't running our country, it was the Conservatives with austerity" #BBCQT

"Migrants were not responsible for Brexit.. For Liz Truss"

"Don't forget, those populist polices in the 30s led to Adolf Hitler being elected"

"If we follow the same rhetoric, blaming of migrants, we will go in the same way"

Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak

If Trump cuts aid for Ukraine, it will lead to Ukraine’s defences collapsing, which will set off a refugee crisis in Europe like we’ve never seen before (and that’s before Putin trains he guns on the Baltics). This is all avoidable if we seize the $300B of Russian reserves

If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is. The billionaire Scott Trust is preparing to push a core part of the Guardian over the cliff into the hands of speculators & profiteers

A phone number everyone should know:
999 55
If you can't speak when a 999 call is answered - maybe an abuser is nearby or you have a medical emergency and can't speak, press 55 and the police will trace the call and come.

Stop saying “we did it to ourselves.” No we did not.

Every QAnon/MAGA was systematically lied to until they were brainwashed into a death cult. ZERO people have brainwashed themselves.

Our failure to recognize this will end America—and maybe the world. It’s the psyops, stupid.
