Just in case some of you didn't realize: the Palestinanians in Gaza and West Bank, in Bethlehem, are in large part practicing christains. Especially in those areas historically, the population was Arab christains.
The Jewish zionists are bombing christains.
Israel is killing christains this xmas.

7,319 of these amazing, gorgeous native animals were culled by the Irish state last year alone, and 66,000 since 2014, in a pointless, cruel attempt to eliminate bovine TB, despite a promise to switch to vaccinations.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

‘What’s going on?’ asks Laura Kuenssberg - suddenly fired up with Labour.
Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule.
So the real question:
Where were you then, Laura?
Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.

Philippe Sands on whether it is a criminal offence to pay, or contribute to the payment of, Sally Rooney. Presumably, though, it would not be found to be in the public interest to proceed with the prosecution of her or her publishers or readers?

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Silencing her doesn’t change the reality; it only exposes the pressure to hide it.

Nobody voted for any of this shit, you understand, just as they didn’t vote for the relentless crackdowns or PFI or more new peers. We are getting this regardless, because this stuff is what *our horrific political/media class* wants, and they treat democracy as their license to do as they please.

Our relationships are already permanently damaged.
The fact that we had this idiot in power for four years and then voted him back into power again has undermined any confidence and respect the international community had about America. It will take decades of responsible leadership to get it back.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.
