The apparent election victory of Donald Trump, has consequences for the world, that I'm sure, very few people, have ever thought of.
The world has just been sent, in an incredibly dangerous direction.

This is silent stand alone protest in front of the concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau. “I believe that the greatest thing an individual can do to respect memory of Holocaust victims is to actively oppose such crimes in present or future" #FreePalastine#StopGazaGenocide

I genuinely thought the murder of Sarah Everard would spur on change and male violence against women be taken more seriously
More than 350 women have been murdered since her
At least another 50 women will be killed by men this year knowing no one will help them prevent it
Palestinian emergency crews say they’re uncovering several mass graves - this, inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza’s Khan Younis on top of several at Al Shifa hospital
6 year-old Fadi Al-Zant is another case of severe starvation at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza.
More than 20 children including infants have been killed due to severe malnutrition and dehydration in Northern Gaza
Day 104 | An unidentified baby girl, less than 3 months old, left abandoned and lifeless.
Born at the start of the genocide, and killed in its 104th day, joining a list of over 10,000 murdered children, and a civilian death toll of over 23,000.
No one has visited or claimed her dead body, abandoned in a tent filled with corpses. Her family are most likely victims of the same tragedy. #Gaza
I see female pundits are now the “Fred & Rose West” of commentators
I think invoking serial murderers is low & despicable
Barton could instead have invoked the racist murdering brother & cousin he has, so that we can be reminded of Anthony Walker, whose life they brutally took
I’ve not always voted labour. But I do find it hard to imagine anyone sound of mind looking at the last 13 years: Brexit, austerity, the inner workings of the government during Covid, Liz Truss, THIS chart, etc, and thinking, tell you what, let’s give him a few more.
This NYT piece is an endless stream of bangers.
I swear, one of the more destructive recent cultural trends has been the combined push to frame all distress or discomfort as mental illness, and then to encourage people to form their identity around being “mentally ill.”
A cabinet reshuffle will not change the fatal consequences of a continued refusal to call for a ceasefire.
It will not mask our government's complicity in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
And it will not stop us demonstrating for a just and lasting peace.
I still can't quite believe we're watching in real time the genocide & ethnic cleansing of a people while the 'free world' either looks the other way or cheerleads.
