Batley Pride
A community led, family friendly LGBT+ pride event for local residents.
www.spacehive.com
We are a very small pride event in a small Yorkshire town (uk). We are in our 7th year and are in desperate need of donations this year so if anyone would like to donate even £1 we would be very grateful. We have had to hire extra security this year. TIA xx

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Reminder, Nigel Farage...
Wants to cut the NHS by £26 billion a year and make you pay for healthcare.
Said Reform would reduce the size of the public sector and singled out pensions. This would mean hard-working public servants seeing an axe to the nest egg they’ve earned.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Knesset's National Security Committee approved a bill that would allow the execution of Palestinian prisoners, local media reported. The committee referred the bill to the Knesset General Assembly for discussion and voting in the upcoming legislative session, reports said. </p>
<p>Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir thanked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his support of the bill, adding that "judges should not be allowed to express an opinion on this law."</p>
<p>On Friday, Ben Gvir posted a video of himself standing over a row of Palestinian prisoners lying prone with their hands tied, in which he calls for the “death penalty for terrorists”.</p>
<p>In footage shared on his personal Telegram channel, Ben Gvir speaks to the camera while pointing at a dozen detainees face down in front of an Israeli flag.</p>
<p>“These guys, the Nukhba who came to kill children, women, our babies. Look at them today,” the far-right minister says, referring to the special forces unit of Hamas's military wing.</p>
<p>“But there's still something that must be done: death penalty for the terrorists.”</p>
