A year ago today I was violently arrested dragged down stone steps painfully handcuffed roughly handled by a gang of thuggish police who managed knock my glasses to the pavement, expose the top half of my body, all of my bra and not one of them, man or woman did the decent thing to save me being exposed. I’m 75 now. I didn’t shout, struggle or give any sort of abuse or even disrespect the police. I was peacefully holding a piece of paper with words on- nothing more. I was held in a cell until 11.30 and effectively held under house arrest for weeks. I’m charged under the terrorism act. The court dates keep getting changed and we are a real problem. I feel a connection with the thousands of us who have done this - Im proud that we are fighting for our freedom of speech, our right to protest and against genocide. It’s not much but it’s the least we can do.
🚨Americans should know this: There are around 800,000 to 900,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and none of them work. They live off government funding — free housing, free healthcare, free everything.
And your tax dollars pay for it.
Israel abducted a 20-year-old woman from her home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night on June 2.
Her name is Sama Safi.
She is not a combatant.
She is an American-Palestinian university student.
She has now been caged in an Israeli dungeon for 58 days — without charges, without reason.
And yet, the same voices that claim to care about human rights have nothing to say.
No outrage. No headlines. No urgent calls for her freedom.
Because Sama is Palestinian, her story is ignored.
🇪🇸Certain victories remind us that freedom can still prevail.
Thank you Spain and to all those who continue to stand with courage and dignity on the side of justice.

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
Despite all we’ve seen, there are still images from Gaza that break me and become imprinted in my mind.
This is Ayham Nasman. A Palestinian boy left alone, grieving his family, because Israel killed his parents and siblings. This is childhood in Gaza.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Al Jazeera reporter Hani Mahmoud exposes a horrific war crime.
He confirms the Zionist regime intentionally bombed a funeral procession, slaughtering grieving families.
He reveals they are systematically wiping out four generations at once in Gaza!
This is Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, defiant in the face of Israeli tanks. Israel destroyed his hospital and cut off the oxygen to patients.
Israel refuses to release him.
Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh should be free
No they did not die for their country. The Iranians are dying for their country. The Americans are dying for Israel, for the military-industrial complex, and for imperialist agendas of planetary hegemony. This isn't worthy of praise, it's worthy of anger and outrage.
Huge congratulations to one of the unsung heroes of Australian politics - @deniseshrivell
Denise was awarded the Difficult Woman hard-hat prize last night at Micheal West Media's 10th anniversary celebrations
Congrats also to Cathy Wilcox and Grace Tame, who made up the trifecta of Difficult Woman prize winners
Denise does so much work behind the scenes, more than people will ever know, and she deserves all the accolades. Looks like such a great night too xx
Ben Gvir is posting videos showing off the execution chamber where he will exterminate thousands of Palestinian hostages.
Imagine if Hitler broadcast videos of his gas chambers to gloat like this.
This is Taybeh in South Lebanon — before and after Israel’s genocide.
An ancient village, older than most modern countries, has been wiped off the face of the Earth.
I would like to remind everyone that Robert Mueller was 100% correct: Russia DID help Trump, repeatedly and illegally. His investigation produced 37 indictments, and seven guilty pleas or convictions.
There is only one person committing widespread election fraud: Donald Trump.
