Thousands march on US embassy in London calling for end of strikes in Iran Speaking outside the embassy, Zarah Sultana told protesters: β€˜we will not be ignored again’

If youβ€˜re willing to dig through the Guardian you might find this article or find it by putting it in the search. @theguardian.com don't seem to want to headline the fact that people are out in the streets marching against war & a genocide still happening in Gaza

The No World Order Meir Kahane, Netanyahu, Trump, and the war beyond Iran.

An insightful & hair raising piece from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social weaving many threads together
involving the trans national organised crime & psychopath network.
Seems just about every thread connects to Israel & the 'Greater Israel / Zionist' project.

SΓ‘nchez: β€œYou may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

β€œWe are not alone β€” we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Historical political context in understanding roots of war is critical to preventing future wars. But complicit β€˜toe the line’ legacy media rarely goes there.
We need more like @georgemonbiot.bsky.social to succinctly & eloquently lay it out.

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms.Β 

But we will not be silenced.

We need a party to effectively counter the right and Reform in particular and it would seem that @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social are doing just that.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Northampton Reform UK councillors resign from the party One of the two women says there have been "misogynistic undertones" in her treatment.

❌ Blythe said that after reflection, she could no longer continue under the current leadership and had concerns about "what I perceive to be misogynistic undertones in the treatment I have received".

Is anyone surprised?

Across social media and the Al industry, people immediately began to challenge Altman's claim.
Why, they asked, would the Pentagon suddenly agree to the red lines that it had said β€” in no uncertain terms β€” that it would never do so?
The answer, sources told The Verge, is that the Pentagon didn't budge. OpenAl agreed to follow laws that have allowed for mass surveillance in the past, while insisting they protect its red lines.
One source familiar with the Pentagon's negotiations with Al companies confirmed that OpenAl's deal is much softer than the one Anthropic was pushing for, thanks largely to three words: "any lawful use." In negotiations, the person said, the Pentagon wouldn't back down on its desire to collect and analyze bulk data on Americans. If you look line-by-line at the OpenAl terms, the source said, every aspect of it boils down to: If it's technically legal, then the US military can use OpenAl's technology to carry it out. And over the past decades, the US government has stretched the definition of
"technically legal" to cover sweeping mass surveillance programs - and more.

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

The coordinated hit job 'a la' Corbyn on Zack Polanski & The Green Party has begun in earnest this morning. Expect it to grow exponentially as we head towards May elections & beyond. Orders received, 'anti-semitism', 'sectarianism', 'breast enlargement hypnotherapist' talking points being polished.
