I can't bring myself to sign up as a member of anything at this point, but this has not been an encouraging experience. Are there local YP groups to you, Jean?

I still think that Guardian comment was incredibly tone-deaf. Whatever you think of the shitshow on the other side, there are thousands of people who don't know what's happening with their money and data and the project they signed up to... Very very depressing all around!

Exploitation is not just something that happens far away. It's embedded in our employment practices here in the UK.

Anti-Slavery International @antislavery.org · 13d

Many workers get into debt because they are forced to pay thousands in recruitment costs, sometimes to unscrupulous gangs, putting them at risk of debt, trafficking, and forced labour.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

The 'golden ticket' of having your whole life destroyed by war, famine, disaster, political repression. The 'golden ticket' of losing family, loved ones, networks and bonds that made you who you are. The 'golden ticket' of coming to an increasingly depraved and cruel sinking island of bigotry.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
