It's wild that when Scots drink in the streets abroad the locals think it's the best fun they've ever had but in Scotland drinking in the streets is banned because we consider ourselves a bit too mental 😂🏴
We saw the same bad faith during the Oslo negotiations. You can't trust any agreement w/them; you can't trust people who murder emissaries and negociators & don't respect ceasefires.
Ehud Barak kept increasing Area C with such bad faith that even Clinton noticed; then blamed Palestinians for it.
"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property."
Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time.
Thank you.

"Historically, colonial forces had their motherland to return to. In Israel, however, home is the colony ... If home is the colony, where does one go to escape? Israelis have two options: Retreat via mind or body. Why choose? Yoga is both/and."

🚨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.

Today I learned that the average human being is about 100 million times closer in size to the observable universe than to the Planck length, the smallest unit of measurement.
From a U.S. context years of production of the most expensive and exquisite standoff munitions were wasted just firing into solid granite. These were supposed to be preserved to maintain the balance of power in Asia which is allegedly the most critical U.S. strategic interest.

Capitalism has existed for less than 1% of recorded history and we might literally destroy the planet under it, but it's the only system that "works" and we have to keep doing it forever
MMT is attacked so aggressively because it threatens the propaganda that protects power.
For decades, people have been told:
“There is no money.”
“Be realistic.”
“The markets won’t allow it.”
“Taxpayers can’t afford it.”
MMT pulls at that thread. (1/8)
This is Iraqi shepherd Awad Al-Shammari, who uncovered the secret Israeli military site in Iraq’s desert back in March before authorities were aware of it.
He was later killed by Israeli forces, who reportedly targeted his vehicle in the area.
