"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

In practice, and even before today's changes, Labour has gone further on anti-immigration policies than any government in decades. The outcome being more families ripped apart, more people forced to become undocumented, fewer jobs for everyone and a crashed economy. 3/

We can all bitch and moan and call out the utterly contemptible policies suggested by the likes of Reform and the Conservatives, but if that same condemnation is not applied to Labour then it shows it is not about supporting migrants, it is about being party political. 2/

Any more angels = too angelic, possibility of angel overload
Fewer angels = not angelic enough, risk of ??damnation??
You walk a fine line, Whitton.

to be clear, the President is bombing civilians in international waters and sending the army into peaceful cities domestically but this fellow thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando: ‘Some people were supposed to take drugs – and one of them was me’

He was the darling of early-90s alt rock, but success came with the kind of rock’n’roll excess that many of his peers did not survive. Now, having finally quit heroin, he’s back with a new album, a memoir – and no regrets

The email I just received from ebay Ireland would make your head spin...but like (almost) every diaspora Palestinian, I'm in 35 groups that organize protests, raise funds, lobby for evacuations, etc. etc. so I don't have time to fight this. But you should boycott ebay Ireland for sure

Not the most important bit in this story, but what a weird comment.

I know 3 guys named Jihad, including a Catholic. Lebanon has Christians named Jihad. The word is in the Arabic bible.

It does not have the same connotations that the post-9/11 Western world thinks it does. It's just a name.

Yesterday, police named the attacker as Jihad al- Shamie, 35, a British citizen of Syrian descent. Asked about his name, on LBC, Mahmood says: • I was very surprised to discover that name myself. Actually, as a Muslim, I've never heard someone being called Jihad, but it is the name that he was born with - that has always been his name. PA Media reports that a police officer is standing guard restricting entrance to Langley Crescent, where Al- Shamie is believed to have lived in the three-bed end- terrace council property. Dozens of reporters are also camped in the street outside as more police arrive in a van at the property in Prestwich, a couple of miles from the synagogue in Crumpsall.

Every journalist and anyone at all really should be thinking hard about their personal and digital security. The surveillance powers of the U.S. state are awesome and they’re demonstrating in real time that they will take whatever they find and make up any old shit
