@YvetteCooperMP @andrii_sybiha How about standing with Palestine against Israel's aggression? The kindest thing I can say about you is you're a hypocrite

[David Yambio @DavidYambio]

Deliberate reduction of human beings into nothingness.

For years, this is what we have fought to make visible: EU-funded concentration camps in Libya where enslaved “migrants” and “refugees” are detained en masse, shoulder against shoulder, body against body, with barely enough room to turn or sit upright. Exhaustion, dehydration, disorientation, heat, suffocation, darkness, sheer collapse—you name it.

One does not need visible blood for violence to be present. Sometimes violence is architectural, administrative, and above all a decision to place hundreds of enslaved people in a room never meant to contain them and then call it “migration management.”

My outrage comes from the fact that such scenes have become normalised both in Libya, Europe and around the globe. The world has slowly learned to consume the dehumanisation of “migrants” as recurring theme instead of evidence of ongoing crimes against human beings that concerns all of humanity.

And while this reality is already unbearable, this morning a document leaked to @StatewatchEU confirmed that the EU has begun collaborating with Haftar’s forces in eastern Libya on “migration control.”

The result will be worse than what is happening in this footage.

This is a condition that no court, parliament, humanitarian institution, or democratic society should tolerate for a single hour, let alone for years that has passed.

@YvetteCooperMP It's called genocide Yvette. Look it up

[John Pinel @johnepinel]

@elonmusk @JeffBezos Ha, ha, ha

[John Pinel @johnepinel]

@YvetteCooperMP I am truly appalled by the video posted by British cabinet minister Yvette Cooper taunting those involved in opposing genocide, by holding placards

What do you think about this?

British-owned beef giant CPC has been granted a permit to poison and kill 20,000 native galahs and little corellas at one of their vast cattle stations in the NT, Australia.

In its permit application, CPC admits its practices created the problem: “grain production, on-site storage, and cattle feeding have provided an artificial food source.”

Ornithologist Dr Lilleyman was "shocked" to learn of the NT government's decision to grant the permit.
She said that Birdlife Australia is concerned about the potential for secondary poisoning of non-target species occurring close to "an internationally significant wetland".

CPC has ten cattle stations on about 9 million acres. They supply cattle and beef to Asian markets, domestic feedlots and processors, and export live cattle.

The company is owned by Guy and Julia Hands through the Hands Family Office. They live in Guernsey after leaving England to avoid UK tax.

CPC has also applied for massive water licenses for irrigation projects to grow grain sorghum and other crops which will inevitably attract even more birds.

So what happens then? Even wider-scale poisoning of native wildlife?

@LozzaFox Can you answer that question?

@elonmusk Scared Elon?

Update: the 12 year old girl I mentioned in this story who was hunted down by an Israeli drone has died from her injuries.

@TheChiefNerd @elonmusk If Elon is the least corruptible, it's because he is already fully corrupt through and through

‘I can reel off the names of children who died... because we couldn't feed them’

Dr. @maynard_nick talks about heartbreaking moments in Gaza where kids made it through surgery, but then still died bcz basic food and nutrition were blocked by Israel.

[John Pinel @johnepinel]

@elonmusk No, that's wrong. If it was 100% elon musk and his billionaire mates would also be paying tax

[John Pinel @johnepinel]

@elonmusk More like greed and bullshit

[John Pinel @johnepinel]

@elonmusk If children are the future, why don't you help to feed them with your billions?

[Lemrac @carmeldoth]

@FranceskAlbs @PaleScotchi

[John Pinel @johnepinel]

@elonmusk Perfect. So we just need to tax profits and wealth to pay for the universal income. Better phone your accountant again!

[ADAM @adamemedia1]

A young Palestinian rapper in Gaza known as MC Abdul released this song.

It’s called ‘Shouting At The Wall’

This is talent.

[Bahman Kalbasi @BahmanKalbasi]

An active member of Jewish community in Iran after her synagogue in Tehran was damaged in Israel/US attack asked why she doesn’t leave her country in an interview with @HajNooredin:

“We have been in Iran for more than 2500 years. We/Jews of Iran, along with many of our fellow Iranians, have experienced many historical events, the ups and downs of this country is in our genes, it’s in our blood stream.

For me the destruction of this site/synagogue, although I have personal connection to it, is just as sad/no different from all the other destruction happening across our country.”

You thought Epstein Island was bad?

Israel built the only military prison in the world designated for children.

Children are subjected to beatings, torture, and rape on a regular basis.

Conviction rates in courts reach 99.7%.

This applies only to non-jewish children.

[Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve]

@TadhgHickey Wow. It just “landed” near me purely by chance. Not a targeted attack that nearly killed me. I mean this is shite even by BBC standards.
