The Kurdish population, never mind the SDF are shaking their heads at the sheer brass neck nerve of this statement given events over past few days which are still unfolding
For human rights lawyers and Kurds in Turkey:
This man, who rap*d and then executed a Kurdish girl in the Syrian city of Raqqa and cut her hair as a gift, is a member of Turkish intelligence.
His name is Rami al-Dahash , and he lives in Urfa, Turkey

You celebrated these Kurdish women when they stood between you & ISIS. You shared their images, praised their bravery, & claimed their struggle as a moral victory. Today, as they are humiliated, imprisoned, & brutalized by the Syrian jihadists you are normalizing & empowering, you look away.
History will remember who spoke — and who decided Kurdish lives only mattered when they were useful.

A man ran out of my local sainsburys carrying arms full of minced beef and the manager saw me and shouted “why didn’t you stop him?!” and I couldn’t work out how to express my feelings about the it all so just shouted back “IM NOT BATMAN”
The treatment of disabled people in social housing is beyond vile. I’ve seen way to many cases of overt discrimination especially by local authorities.
The equalities act isn’t considered when it comes to disabled social housing tenants.
Remember a guy I volunteered with in 2011 who had severe MH problems. He'd told an ASOS assessor that when he went to the supermarket, he'd have a panic attack. 'Geoff likes to go shopping,' they wrote, & his benefits were stopped. Osborne doesn't deserve a moment of peace.
I'm pro middle-class people filling the trenches for climate activism, but I guess this kind of illustrates its limit. Access to one of the country's most hated men and they can't quite bring themselves to disrupt a posh wedding like they would a football match or whatever
Why there is no concept of evil in the faith of the Yazidi people?
In the Yazidi belief system, there is no evil figure to be held responsible for the evil in the world and human actions. Instead, humans are regarded as free and independent beings, with free will at the center of their actions and life itself. According to Yazidi teachings, evil or wrong actions arise from the imbalance between spiritual and physical needs.
For this reason, God has bestowed upon humans the intellect, through which each individual Yazidi makes decisions autonomously and, above all, must bear the consequences of those decisions responsibly.
For the very same reason, Yazidis refuse to acknowledge & recognise the concept of Sata* as it contradicts with monotheism.
Justice for Nahel. A 17 year-old French-Algerian killed by police at point-blank range, utterly defenceless. They lied claiming he'd 'threatened' them until a video emerged of an officer saying "I am going to lodge a bullet in your head".
The police are lying, racist killers.
@jalunnik That’s why I fell in love with his shit when I was younger even tho I barely could understand what he wrote - I was an edgy little shit who would walk around saying god is dead to piss people off
The total collapse in affordability for low income private renters is alarming.🚨
In some parts of England there are now literally no properties available to rent for households receiving housing benefit.
We’ve been working with @crisis and @Zoopla. The data is grim 🧵
People who share sex tapes & intimate photos without a person's consent will now face jail sentences, whether they meant to cause distress or not.
Before the change in the law, inspired by @georgiaharisonx, prosecutors had to prove that it was an act of 'revenge porn'.
