Don't let the new and escalating horror that Israel and the US are perpetrating overshadow Gaza.
This from Richard Engle, chief foreign correspondent for NBC News, last week.
#Gaza
Mindblowing story. The UK met most of the costs of a key propaganda tool used by the Israeli Government to launder its genocide in Gaza - then tried to cover up the fact it had done so.
Pete Hegseth: "It was unfortunate that the Brits didn't, from day 1, say go ahead & have access but we got there, we got there, & thats now part of the way that we're operationalising bomber runs, and when we say more to come, its more fighter squadrons, its more capabilities.."
"We believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place."
Britain continues its rapid descent towards fascism.

Want to know how broken our media is? We are in an illegal war, & reporters/anchors are getting on the phone with Trump daily & just…relaying his words to their viewers, like stenographers. No challenging questions or follow-ups, no discomforting of Trump.

An example of how these people have fused fantasy with reality to create a dangerous hybrid in which they no longer know what's real/unreal, nor even who they are. They also don't know where/when to stop.
In future, this will be classed as a psychiatric illness

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood sure has put on a show…
But how much is really serious & how much is just a theatre of cruelty?
Here’s the TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

"You told a lie about them. Do you regret that?" -- Raskin grills Noem about her comments that Good and Pretti were domestic terrorists
Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.
That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.
And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.
This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*
The problem wasn't really the negative campaign.
The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies.
And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe.
Let's have *that* conversation.

There are two weeks until my election, and AIPAC has spent $150,000 to create the worst attack out against me I have ever seen.
Let’s watch it:
I asked Claude which was worse on democracy human rights and exporting terrorism: Saudi or Iran. Both awful on human rights though Iran prob worse. Saudi-linked terrorism has probably killed more though.
There's insanity, and then there's religious insanity - which is far more dangerous because it is much more likely to have access to the levers of power.

This was a disgusting smear by Starmer. Not only was it transparently rubbish, it potentially puts Mothin Ali's life at risk.
Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.
The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.
"My attacker brought a claim for defamation against me, which I eventually won with the help of Good Law Project. I’m so proud this landmark win means other women can now rely on truth and the public interest, but it was a three-year legal battle that took over my life and pushed me to the brink."
This 3D Forensic chess is hard. I'm still not getting it.
Wow.
The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.
They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.
The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.
And they're just 2 points behind Reform!
@elliechowns.bsky.social : "In 2020 Starmer said he did not think the UK should enter into military action without a legal justification, without a clear goal & without parliamentary approval. None of those conditions are in place now. Indeed, it is an illegal war led by a war criminal"
"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.

The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern.
Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.
Bravo to Spain. Real cojones standing up against Trump's illegal war of distraction.
