Greta Thunberg has just been arrested for opposing genocide outside Aspen Insurance, which underwrites Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.
Meanwhile, Keir Starmer — complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people — walks free.
He should be arrested and sent to The Hague.

Life under occupation & apartheid.
Israeli forces are demolishing a residential building in occupied East Jerusalem that was home to around 100 Palestinians. The Palestinians were attacked by Israeli settlers as they were forced from their homes.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Chief executives are now paid hundreds of times more than the people who actually create value in their companies. This is not innovation or entrepreneurship – it is extraction.
