Today Israel slaughtered three Palestinian journalists: Mohammed Salah Qashta, Abdul Raouf Shaat & Anas Ghneim.

They were carrying out a humanitarian, journalistic mission to film & document the suffering of civilians in the Netzarim area of central Gaza.

Farage is in another league of sedition altogether . . . but, yes.
Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.

One day everyone will say that they were against the tyranny of this boyman narcissist. They will voice indignation at his brazen self-enrichment & criminality. They will express amazement at his cretinous speeches. They will mock his trowelled-on make-up & ludicrous hair.

One day.
This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes.

Crimes that stack up daily.

Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

Good words from Walz. Three years ago, this would've been science fiction. But it's time for Europe & UK leaders to realise that they're dealing with the US as an openly fascist nation in a state of civil and international war.

This is no temporary turbulence. Appeasement must end.

As we grow older, “loss becomes the primary condition of living,” Nick Cave says. “That doesn’t mean you’re in a hopeless, grief-stricken state all the time; it just means that you carry a deeper understanding of what it is to be human.”

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered in cold blood by Donald Trump’s ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Her three children have had their mother ripped from them. Video shows she posed no threat — yet medics were blocked and she was left to die.
