It is controversial in the United States to say that any country that executes people by running them over with tanks should not exist

The Palestinian ministry of Health reported earlier today that 45 Palestinian bodies have been released by Israel.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

The grim symmetry is impossible to ignore:the tactical playbook of pre-dawn raids, extra-judicial killings at sea, piracy of humanitarians at sea and the snatching of ppl from their homes. From the West Bank to the American Midwest Israel/U.S weaponize bureaucracy to other and then disappear people.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Mandatory digital ID undermines our civil rights. It’s also divisive, expensive, and a distraction from the real issues: a cost of living crisis and soaring inequality.

So why is the government steamrolling ahead? Has it learnt nothing from winter fuel and disability benefit cuts?

Yorkshire Building Society appear to have shut down the account of a couple – he's a former barrister – for being pro-Palestine activists.

YBS urgently need to explain themselves. If they don't, they must feel the power of a consumer boycott.

Peak rail fares gone for good.
Child poverty falling.

That is our SNP record and proof that self-government works.

Imagine how much more we could do with the powers of independence.

Israel is facing criticism for allegedly breaching the ceasefire agreement under Trump’s plan, after limiting the entry of aid into Gaza to only half of the agreed amount.

The restriction is worsening the humanitarian crisis for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians already suffering from famine.

Greta Thunberg, after five days in Israeli captivity, has spoken out about the abuse she endured. She described a pattern of deliberate humiliation and violence, where Israeli guards placed a flag beside her and beat her whenever it brushed against her skin.

A digitally edited image shows climate activist Greta Thunberg standing in front of blurred Israeli flags. Overlaid text reads: “Greta Thunberg Details Torture in Israeli Captivity — ‘They Kicked Me Every Time the Flag Touched My Face’

There are some interesting findings here, but also a very common mistake when looking at attitudes. They ask about the NHS, Economy etc - and Independence - as though they're mutually independent topics. But Indy benefits all the others - its not some separate topic.

Wilfred refers back to the prewar refugees to UK and kindertransport and says, "Back then, it was different."

It wasn't. It was the very definition of a hostile environment for refugees.

The reason it was "kinder" transport was because hate was whipped up against adults fleeing Nazi Germany. 1/2

Tuesday: Shabana Mahmood attacks an international human rights body for pointing out the UK is likely breaching its legal obligations to trans people.

Wednesday: five months after publishing transphobic legal guidance the EHRC, a month before it has to defend it in court, takes it down.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 16h

The EHRC has finally, five months after producing its wildly transphobic and, we believe, unlawful Interim Guidance now taken it down. Our judicial review challenge to that Interim Guidance will be heard in less than one month.

(That's how they influence our thinking. In spite of that, a majority of US believes that Israel committed genocide and used hunger as a weapon)
