We will NEVER shut up about this. How not only do men in lipstick insert themselves into women's spaces, but how women have been intimidated into proclaiming that they don't mind.

The screams of Palestinians being burnt alive by Israel. There is no moral difference between putting people in gas chambers and burning people in safe zones inside homes. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.

I have a friend in Cuba and what they just reported should end careers in Washington. Every single patient on a ventilator in their hospital died tonight. The power went out. The ventilators stopped. This isn't a rare incident anymore. Cuba's grid has collapsed 3 times THIS MONTH. The hospital staff told them they've had more emergency deaths in the last 30 days than in all of last year combined. A patient with leukemia at a Havana hospital told reporters: "Without fuel or affordable transportation, life has only gotten harder. We are fighting every day." NICU babies are on bare minimum power right now. Dialysis patients are playing Russian roulette with every blackout. Cuba has received ZERO oil in 3 months. That's not a shortage. That's a blockade. The US blocked a Russian rescue mission — 730,000 barrels of oil heading to Cuba — turned it away. Then the official story went: "We're sending $6 million in humanitarian aid." $6 million in aid. 930,000 barrels of oil blocked. You can't fix ventilators with $6 million when the grid is dark. And Trump's own words from March 6, 2026: "Cuba will fall. After 50 years, this is the cherry on top of the cake." The people dying in hospitals tonight are his cherry on top. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

It’s trolling and gaslighting at the same time

Yes, but it would come better from this Zionist supporting member of Labour Friends of Israel if he had EVER described the Israeli govt's genocide against Palestinians as "deeply shocking":

At the Salvador Allende hospital in Havana today, when the Puerto Rican delegation brought their huge suitcases of medicine in. The entire U.S. government didn't want this to happen, and the activists made sure Cuban doctors would get supplies anyway. Incredible people.

If you’re an Israeli occupier, you can murder a family, including children aged 5 and 7, without even being questioned. What level of impunity is that?

I never took much notice of the Rutles at the time, but this is brilliant (especially the lead guitar):

A woman who’d raised Henry, a 13-year-old Lab, since he was a puppy was caught on camera removing his collar and abandoning him at a Washington park, then driving off in her Tesla.

I have stage 4 endometriosis. Today I've been in absolute agony with nausea, hips, back, even my shoulders in pain. This disease is brutal, chronic, incurable and it exclusively affects women. And yet, once again, a biological male, LARPing as a woman, has been appointed as a spokesperson/representative for endometriosis. Women are being erased from our own suffering. Our pain, our bodies, our disease. OURS!! Appointing a man, who can NEVER experience this isn't inclusion, it's invalidation. We deserve advocates who actually live this reality. This is NOT ok!

The BBC's Lucy Williamson says Israel is destroying south Lebanon "using Gaza as a model – a blueprint for destruction used again as a path to peace". That's right: genocide as "a path to peace". Orwell would be proud.

Chilling interviews from the streets of Israel. They openly call for carpet bombing and dropping nukes. Abby Martin explains how Israeli society is fully aware of the starvation and slaughter in Gaza, and they overwhelmingly support it.

Today I watched the Israeli army bomb Khiam, Lebanon, with white phosphorus. This is a banned substance, therefore a war crimes. Americans, your tax dollars are paying for chemical warfare.

If you need to understand what Raffi Berg and BBC management have done to @BBCNews then this sentence from @bbclaurak tells you absolutely everything . BBC news and current affairs is no longer fit for purpose. An incoming govt needs to sweep the lot away. A complete overhaul.

Israel is wiping out critical bridge after critical bridge in South Lebanon. Civilians can’t flee. Ambulances can’t reach the wounded. Entire communities are cut off from food, medicine, and essential supplies. This is intentional. This is a crime against humanity.

Northern White Rhino: officially extinct in the wild. Last male dead. Only 2 females remain A creature that endured 55 million years—ice ages, asteroids, entire epochs—wiped out by human greed, poaching, and destroyed habitats. We failed them. 💔🦏

Is this the same thing-that-never-happens-happening-again that I posted about yesterday? Or is it yet another case? Honestly, I’m starting to lose track.

This young lady was called Phillis because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal 🇸🇳. In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!” She was felt naked by many hands. At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen so-called enlightened White men in robes and wigs. She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and verses from the Bible, and vow that the poems she composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet. Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States 🇺🇸

@AJEnglish He can fuck right off.

The Israeli PM has called on world leaders to join the US-Israel war on Iran, speaking from the site of an attack in the southern Israeli city of Arad. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/x3n3wk

HE IS 16. His name is Mohammad Hossein Shokri. Not a criminal. Not a threat. A child. Arrested while working, selling corn cobs. Sentenced to death. Let that sink in: A 16-year-old facing execution. Don’t scroll. Don’t stay silent. Say his name. Share it everywhere.
