❤️🩹They found a nineteen-year-old woman still alive, half her body exposed and half pinned between two concrete slabs, her arm severed and her body torn by shrapnel, after the Civil Defense rushed to a house struck without warning and began digging. As they tried to free her and ease her pain, they asked her about herself, and she told them she was nineteen, that she had memorised parts of the Quran, that she had scored ninety percent in high school and was an outstanding university student. She kept reciting the Quran, praying and asking forgiveness, and then she died.
Even after she was gone, her ordeal shaped a decision no rescuer should ever have to make. Her body stayed trapped beneath the slabs, and the team chose to amputate the pinned part with a disc grinder to recover her, so that her remains would not be left for the stray dogs that had become a widespread sight, or crushed under advancing Israeli occupation bulldozers.

Michael Gove just wandered out in front of my bike against a red light. What a remarkable commitment to proving @MPIainDS wrong. Turns out the biggest menace to cyclists is middle-aged politicians ignoring the Highway Code

1 of the most heartbreaking videos I’ve seen in a while.
The lady describes a Palestinian man buried under rubble with only his head visible but underneath his dead daughters have hold of his hands and he just wants to die with them.
Horrific 💔💔😓😓

HOW BRITAIN REWARDS PEOPLE WHO TRY TO SAVE TAXPAYER MONEY: FIRE THEM
Mike Kiely spent 22 years inside BT (@BTGroup). He knew how the telecoms industry operated. So when the government hired him as a consultant to oversee the £2.5 billion rural broadband rollout, he knew exactly what he was looking at.
BT had won all 26 government contracts. All of them.
Kiely did the maths. Installing a street cabinet in Northern Ireland cost around £13,000. On the mainland, BT was charging the government between £61,000 and £80,000 per cabinet. Public money covered roughly 77% of every single one.
He suspected BT was simply inventing tasks and inflating charges to absorb as much public funding as possible without doing more work.
So he shared his analysis with local councils. The people whose job it was to negotiate these contracts and spend public money responsibly.
Then his document leaked to a broadband blog.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport trawled his internal emails, found what they needed, and sacked him. The man who tried to protect public money.
Margaret Hodge (@margarethodge), chair of the Public Accounts Committee, told the Guardian (@guardian) she was getting increasingly concerned at the way whistleblowers were being bullied. She pointed out that hiding behind commercial confidentiality was denying the public the right to know how their money was being spent.
Her committee later confirmed what Kiely had warned all along. Taxpayers had been ripped off. £1.2 billion had gone to BT shareholders.
Kiely was eventually vindicated when a community in Oxfordshire paid £28,000 per cabinet. Exactly in line with what his numbers predicted was fair.
He lost his job for telling the truth. BT kept every contract.
This is what accountability looks like in Britain. The consultant who raises the alarm gets sacked. The company he raised the alarm about gets the cheque.
Support whistleblowers. They are the only audit most public spending ever gets.

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.
Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury
MP Melanie Ward has discovered at least 32 UK ‘charities’ have sent £28 million to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank in recent years.
She says their charitable tax status means they’ve likely received a taxpayer subsidy of at least £5 million:
