Thought my kindle which I got for £50 10 years ago was dead but turns out it totally still works! And it’s really easy to just put PDFs not sourced from companies owned by psychopaths onto it so yay- gonna order some Ebooks from from some cool independent book stores

Israel is proactively destroying everything that could possibly be used to rebuild southern Lebanon

Because land emptied of it’s people is easier the colonise

This is the Israeli version of a ceasefire - you cease, they fire

Our government admires and supports everything that Israel does

Polls and trolls: is violent online abuse turning women off local politics?
Online abuse designed to humiliate, coerce or silence women and minority politicians is taking its toll. With a general election next year, the rules have to change.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
