We’re a people’s movement, and we're proud to be funded by people. In this critical time when our society must make a choice between the status quo of endless bloodshed and grief – or peace – we want to ask you for your support.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries.

Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

Happening now: Three Israeli settlers attempted to burn my house. They came with a ladder and a metal cutter, and began cutting through the metal roof to throw fire inside. Thank God I discovered them in time

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Really bad news. And completely irresponsible given where we are.
Can’t decide who this is worse for, the EU or the UK. But the real looser, of course, is European defence. So all of us.

Let us hear the infamous story about the necessity of a “land swap” again..

These Ukrainians will be demoralized, tortured and men will be forced to fight on Russia’s behalf. Don’t be naive or romantic about it.

EU, the people you leave with Putin, will be forced to kill your citizens. Wake up.

Police threatened to disperse our national convention for peace and justice on this land over “provocative” messaging (a sign with the words “getting out of Gaza”). Sadly, this isn’t surprising. But it also won’t stop us.

We now get Home Office press releases about immigration nearly every day. Interesting to note the language. They obviously want to be seen to be taking action, but “illegal migrants” are not the same as “asylum seekers”

If Trump does go through with his threatened invasion of Venezuela without Congressional approval, that should absolutely be grounds for immediate impeachment proceedings.

We would need mass, popular mobilization calling for his removal from office. It has to be a red line.
