btw few will appreciate how grimly funny it is that this judge both issued a gagging order so that the filton 4 could not explain their motivation to the jury, and then also sentenced them according to a specific intent provision requiring them to have had a specific motivation

And people wanted us to stand down for this guy?!

This coming out right after the uk reveals they plan to use ai in the police force and courts is scary as hell and should be a wake up call

[enter shakira𓅮 @BARFJAMiN]

getting a fast-tracked 3-year jail sentence handed down by an AI judge for a hallucinated crime with no jury or right of appeal. the future of Britain is here baby

Hold up a a bit of cardboard supporting Palestine Action it’s straight to prison with terrorism charges.
Do a Nazi salute and it’s crickets…

They also shot and killed his 12 year old son to punish him for not abandoning his hospital

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

Hot take: you should be squeamish about making life worse for poor people.

This man will just continue to be the midwife of a Reform Government, just like Keir Starmer.

Remember that recent viral tweet that was like "environmentalism is conservative now", and every second headline since then is some variation of "republicans to allow national park to be reduced to smouldering wasteland"

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

🚨BREAKING | Labour MP Nadia Whittome has tabled a motion to REJECT the EHRC bathroom ban "guidance".

If MPs back her motion, the EHRC guidance will be rejected and will not be implemented. Motion is co-signed by Green MPs Hannah Spencer and Sian Berry.

Israeli media has released images of white phosphorus being sprayed into Lebanon.

They aren’t even hiding it anymore.

[͏b͏l͏a͏n͏c @dqveed]

the fact that we witnessed this in real time and yet the world is still so silent is absolutely enraging

[⦻ EVAN ✃𓄧꒷꒦ #TENOÍ @outhcrowfreak]

So Mississippi just introduced a copycat law of the Tennessee trans ID law, but with the addition that any cop that sees ur ID doesnt match ur natal sex has to report you to FUCKING ICE

[Joe Lever @JoeLever89]

Sarah more than held her own here under some quite silly gotcha questioning.

Took it in good grace and offered strong responses, depoliticising the original framing.

This is the real, positive change on offer for Makerfield.

You don’t kill 133 healthcare workers by accident.

paramedics in south lebanon are now filming their rescue missions to debunk israeli claims and documents israeli war crimes yet the WHO and HRW are still silent about the deliberate attacks medics are facing on daily basis.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

A "dove release" at a wedding or funeral is a death sentence for the birds.

The white "doves" sold for releases aren't doves. They're domestic white pigeons bred to be small and pretty, with no survival skills outside a coop.

The cheaper DIY versions (Ringneck Doves, King Pigeons) can't even find their way home. Nearly all of them die within days.

Even professional releases with trained homing pigeons lose birds every time. Hawks take them in the air. Cars hit them when they land exhausted. They collide with windows. There are lots of ways it can go sideways for them.

Rehabbers pull them in with broken wings, raging trichomoniasis, and bodies so emaciated they can't stand. One described a release pigeon whose throat infection had hardened so completely it distorted the shape of his skull.

There is no version of this where the birds "fly away and live happily ever after." That's the marketing. The reality is a domestic animal traumatized or killed for a 15-second photo.

@SangitaMyska "British nationals who go to fight in Ukraine are given a stark warning on the Foreign Office website...No such warning exists on the Foreign Office page for Israel." Food for thought. Thank you for such an insightful article.
