Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists

Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.

It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.

The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.

Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.

The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.

Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

The Israelis are destroying ancient Roman ruins in the beautiful Lebanese coastal city of Tyre.

I know if they did this to the Colosseum, the world would express outrage and elites would do fundraisers and Israel might even be sanctioned bc that’s in what they consider Europe.

But in Lebanon, the Europeans shrug and keep supporting Israel because they’ve created a division of humanity where even the ancient Roman ruins aren’t equal.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

In Belfast..
- We saw pogroms - targeting black and brown people
- These are riots not protests
- It’s criminal acts not an expression of legitimate concerns
- These are student nurses presumably doing NHS placements
Language matters: stop sanitising what we are witnessing.

“Israel told residents to leave” is an insane way to describe ETHNIC CLEANSING.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’

@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.

Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

Disgusting

[Kayla @KaylaDavis2000]

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years

First-degree felony. Life without parole.

Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.

No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!

Today is the feast day of St Melangell, the patron saint of hares. 🐇⛪️
The daughter of an Irish king, she fled to Wales and founded a community of women in Powys.
According to legend she was gifted the land after saving a hare from a pack of dogs.

How much longer will the horror, death and total trampling of international law go on for while the EU wrings it's hands while Israel continues. Shame on you all, shame on us @kajakallas @vonderleyen @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @EUparliament

#EUInc risks letterbox companies, erosion of co-determination & no minimum safeguards for workers.

Europe needs competitiveness but NOT at the cost of workers' rights.

This is Qana in South Lebanon today.

An ancient village with over 3,000 years of history — where Jesus performed the miracle of turning water into wine.

Israel is wiping it off the map.

Not a peep from the “civilized world.”

Not a word from the “international community.”

They killed 3 children in Gaza today, in the midst of a supposed ceasefire, but they’re Palestinians so their lives don’t count.

I am trying to imagine the media coverage of Hamas killed 3 Israeli children today.
