Cannot watch Celebrity #Traitors. The mirror it holds up to society is too sharp. Who have they wrongly decided not to trust? Who gets banished? A black man. A black woman. And a white woman. In that order. Because they had reactions or opinions. Shameful. Why are we not talking about this?!

Less food is going into Gaza now than during most other times in the war. Starvation is mounting. And hundreds of Palestinians have been killed — many by Israeli forces — while heading toward aid sites.
Here's how a humanitarian crisis became what aid groups say is an impending famine.

How Did Hunger Get So Much Worse in Gaza?
Less food is going into Gaza now than during most other times in the war. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while heading toward aid sites. Many others are suffering from serious malnutrition, and Gazan health officials say scores have died from it.

Yup. Assuming even distribution (from 4 outlets) that’s only 45 meals per person over 2 months (based on 2.2 million Gazans). Bragging about providing less than a meal per day per person is a catastrophic admission of calculated starvation. One might even say celebration. Horrendous. #starvation

Horrifying. This was not just happened in the last few weeks. The absolute shame. Shared by all who could - and should - have done more to prevent this #Starmer #Lammy

Where is the moral panic?
Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer?
Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine
But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”?
At least try to be consistent.

IDF officers and soldiers tell Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present.

Looks more like kidnap than arrest to me
Based on how these men are dressed how would you know who they are, who they are working for, what their authority is? No badges, no uniforms, at lease some are without masks this time.

Incredible turn out for #NoKingsDay. Thank you to everyone speaking up and taking action. Dissent is patriotic!

Sounds like Trump is upset that civilian airliners have become too safe and is cracking down.
I have not seen people talking about this so far w/ 47's cuts to roles.

A few people here have brought up Farage’s earnings in the Register of Members Interests. Just wanted to flag up that he’s record-breaking. King Grifter is the UK’s highest earning MP.

One man convicted of stirring up racial hatred was earning about £1,400 for posting on Twitter. It’s hard to escape the conclusion the site is helping fund fascism in the UK.

Hello Bluesky, time to give you a go. Musk finally crossed the line with his incitement of street violence, civil war and hatred in the UK. What a horrifying degradation of a global conversation platform 😢
