When you're not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Kudos to #Spain for joining #SouthAfrica's genocide case against Israel at the @CIJ_ICJ. I hope this marks the beginning of more Western countries taking similar actions. It’s not too late to stand on the right side of history.
Words of condemnation are meaningless without action. In fact, decades of mere words have allowed Israel to escalate its lawlessness towards the Palestinians into #genocide.

HMRC prosecuted just 11 wealthy individuals last year for tax evasion

There is currently £120 BN lost every year due to tax avoidance by the wealthy

Disabled people on benefits aren’t the reason the NHS is failing, why the roads & sewers fall apart

It’s parasites at the top

Germany did not just stop the Rector of the University of Glasgow Dr @GhassanAbuSitt1 from entering Germany, to participate in our Palestine Congress, but threatened him with legal action if he dared send his intended speech by video. Question to German friends: In your name?

Aside from journalism, almost every day we cook meals to feed the displaced in schools in North Gaza. With our very limited supplies, we cook and distribute meals to hundreds every day. We appreciate all the aid workers who were killed while trying to help us in Gaza, but our lives matter as much as theirs do. Our lives should be respected and appreciated just as much as theirs are. Palestinian lives deserve to be mourned just as much as any other life.

#Gaza: "The incalculable collective trauma will be experienced for generations to come," - @FranceskAlbs calls on States to fulfil their obligations under the Genocide Convention to prevent further loss of life.

'Starvation, anatomy of ‘a very cruel, slow death'

People in Gaza and Sudan face famine on a catastrophic scale, warn the UN and humanitarian organisations https://t.co/Cf42FSmmvL

[UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC]

“Following nearly 6 months of unrelenting Israeli assault on occupied #Gaza, it is my solemn duty to report on the worst of what humanity is capable of & to present my findings: 'the Anatomy of a Genocide'.”

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

📍#Gaza: Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the @UN that they will no longer approve any @UNRWA food convoys to the north.

This is outrageous & makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine.

On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali was ordered by the Selective Service to be inducted into military service, which he refused.

Here's a video on why he refused to be drafted into the army to go to Vietnam.

[Carers Scotland @CarersScotland]

We welcome the passing of Stage 1 of the National Care Service Bill. Scotland's 800,000 unpaid carers have been clear that social care needs to improve immediately to better support them. We look forward to working with all parties and carers to ensure the Bill meets their needs.

[Mark Hazelwood (mostly on Bluesky) @Palliative_Scot]

There are many ways in which the death literacy of people & communities can be supported and strengthened. In Scotland one of the approaches being led by SPPC is a peer-led public education course End of Life Aid Skills for Everyone. More info here 4/4 https://t.co/rDqIswEdXF.

From this week, rape survivors can get their court transcripts for free. I had to crowdfund for mine to lodge a complaint against my rapist’s lawyer who claimed it an “injustice” that I’d graduated with top grades while he was jailed. I’ve been campaigning since. Change is here👊🏽
