Not a single one has been sanctioned by the uk government for obviously genocidal comments.

But currently investigating "fuck the idf. Kill the idf" - idf are committing genocide.

The uk government, like Canada and us, needs to be called to the Hague.

And yes, f the idf

Once again, Elon Musk proves himself to be the great defender of free speech — as long as you don’t say or do anything he disagrees with, of course.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The NYT barely printed a word about the flagrant election theft in Pakistan in February, a nuclear armed country of some 250 million people, but now it pulled out all the stops to do its own vote count in Venezuela.

One is a U.S. ally, the other is an adversary. Guess which.

President Nicolas Maduro has won reelection in #Venezuela. He took 51% of votes over 44% for his rival Edmundo González Urrutia. But the opposition has called fraud. Most media are on board w/ that narrative. It’s dangerous spin #Thread @nacla @therealnews https://t.co/MFAQT5htnJ

López Obrador: "¿Con qué fundamento la OEA sostiene que ganó el otro candidato, dónde están las pruebas?". Además, "Cuando fue el fraude en 2006 en México, no hubo pronunciamientos, ahora hay mucha propaganda [sobre las elecciones en Venezuela]". México dando lecciones al mundo.

Protests have erupted in Venezuela after President Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner of Sunday’s election, with the opposition accusing the government of vote fraud. Caracas-based reporter @AChavezAlava of @venanalysis describes the tense situation on the ground.

Entonces?
Estamos efectivamente frente a un intento de golpe de estado. La violencia es responsabilidad de MCM. Que la derecha decente de este país se pronuncie!

It's now 11 pm, which means Venezuelanalysis' coverage has been going on for nearly 18 hours. Not to mention all the prep work from the days prior. And we're not going anywhere, we'll fight the sleepiness and the anxiety while we wait for official results

[Venezuelanalysis @venanalysis]

📍 VA's Cira Pascual Marquina reporting from the Santa Rosa polling center in El Panal Commune: As the day winds down, the atmosphere outside the polling centers remains vibrant and joyful. People are sharing their experiences, children are playing, and there’s a strong commitment to voting.

Stay tuned for our live stream at 7 PM and follow Venezuelanalysis for the latest updates!

[Venezuelanalysis @venanalysis]

On July 28, Venezuelans will vote for their next president in a high-stakes moment in the country's history.

In this infographic, we look at facts and figures, the features of Venezuela's electoral system, and the profiles of the 10 candidates on the ballot. (thread)

[Ralph Nader @RalphNader]

Over 200,000 Palestinians—not 35,000—have already died since October. This is based on nearly 100,000 bombs and missiles directly on civilians, without food, water, medicine, electricity, healthcare and World Health casualty projections starting last October. The 35,000 official fatality count is absurd. No human beings could endure those massacres and related untreated diseases since October 7th. -R

Extreme inequality has to end. It is time to redistribute power and wealth while healing and protecting the world's ecosystems.
