🇮🇪🇺🇸 BREAKING | A protester breached the airside perimeter at Shannon Airport in Ireland today, climbed onto the wing of a parked US Air Force C-130 Hercules and damaged the fuselage with what is believed to be an axe, taking the aircraft out of service.
Shannon Airport briefly closed. The man was arrested by Gardaí and the Armed Support Unit.
Shannon has been used as a key US military transit hub throughout the Iran war, despite the Irish government's insistence it is not being used for war operations.
Main gates of RAF Lakenheath were shut down by peace protestors for 6 hours this morning.
Another gate was shut for 4 hours.
14 arrests.
No war on Iran!
Stop the genocide in Gaza!
No Nukes!

@tombfowler 'If you knew what we know' you'd understand why we have to proscribe Palestine Action..... probably as inaccurate and sexed up 'intelligence' as we heard about today. And on it goes. #spycops
@tombfowler How casually Wellings talks about being in a house in Scotland during the big Dissent organising gathering. Bad enough there were police at the gates and overhead in helicopters but they were in peoples homes where there were no invitations for cops. #spycops
@Donna__McLean@fruitbatmania If #spycops tried to avoid each other when they attended the same event they must have had trouble at the G8 in Scotland. They must have been practically falling over each other.
The police and MSM are lying about what happened at Wormwood Scrubs
Pro-Palestine protesters were NOT violent. They did NOT damage property at Wormwood Scrubs. But the Met saw a chance to make mass arrests - and took it. This is not democracy.

The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.
Today, we lost another Minneapolis neighbor after multiple ICE agents pummeled him and shot him to death.
How many more people need to die or get shot before this ends?
President Trump, I am calling on you to put the American people and this American city first & get ICE out.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"
BREAKING: Trump just told a Blatant Lie at the World Economic Forum in Davos:
He claims that "China makes almost all of the windmills, yet I have not been able to find any wind farms in China."
FACT: China has more wind turbines than any other country on Earth. They have 400% the number that the US does (we are 2nd).
China Windmills:
- Installed wind capacity: ~560–600+ gigawatts (GW)
- Share of global wind capacity: ~45–50% of the world total
- Wind power generated annually: ~800–1,000 terawatt-hours (TWh)
No other country is even close.
We urge David Lammy to immediately authorise a senior official to meet with the legal representatives of Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed - both on prolonged hunger strike and at extreme risk of death.
Their representatives have repeatedly requested this meeting and it is now critical to prevent a tragedy.
Amnesty International has long opposed the misuse of terrorism powers that has led to lengthy, oppressive, and disproportionate detention conditions, contributing directly to this crisis.
Action is needed now to:
✅ Guarantee communication with legal representatives
✅ Ensure proper family contact
✅ Provide urgent and appropriate medical care
This situation is drastic and urgent.

The actions of a pathetic insecure little man. It screams of feeling inferior to others and trying to over compensate. Textbook narcissist.

One of the Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike, Qesser Zuhrah, has been hospitalised. She's lost 13% of her body weight. I am urging David Lammy, the Justice minister, to get engaged now as this is a developing emergency.
These are the eight prisoners taking part in what is thought to be the biggest hunger strike in UK history since Irish republicans began refusing food in 1981.
Tonight it has emerged that five of them have been taken to hospital.
Two haven't eaten for nearly 39 days.
Justice Secretary and Deputy PM David Lammy runs away from hunger strikers family. It’s been 35 days of hunger striking in British prison with no response for him.
They demand immediate bail. They have been held in prison for upto 2 years without charge for Palestinian activism
Kamran becomes the first individual on hunger strike to be hospitalised. This marks a major deterioration of health with more to follow should the government continue to ignore the demands

@tombfowler@NiallMulh What a clear and principled person is Dan Gilman. Total respect for the way he brought the truth about the police abuse of good people who stand up to the fascists. #NoPaseran#spycops
