Why do we use social media platforms despite their toxicity? A few thoughts on our choices and responsibilities as users. 🧵 ↓ ideas.gaggio.com/should-i-stay-…

While the world’s eyes are on Iran, Israeli settler violence in the West Bank is rising. The Economist analyses how settlers are annexing more territory, empowered by tacit and explicit support from Binyamin Netanyahu’s government.

Greta Thunberg, Sally Rooney and Brian Eno defy Palestine Action ban in letter to judges theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/a…

The body of the Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found by rescuers after several hours of digging in the rubble after an Israeli strike. She is the fourth journalist to have been killed by Israeli forces in seven weeks. This is why the word ‘journacide’ is now being used.

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. All journalists. Targeted and assassinated intentionally. For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

Israel’s murder of journalists continues. The details of what happened to Amal Khalil are horrific. The Red Cross tried to rescue her but were themselves fired on. How is Israel allowed such total impunity? Why is the international press not in uproar?

Time and time again we hear govt ministers condemn Israel's flagrant breaches of international law but take no real action. This is simply not enough. Ban settlement trade, stop all arms sales to and military cooperation with Israel, and pursue investigations into war crimes.

We need a people's media! Corporate media outlets have become mouthpieces for the ruling class. It's critical that we support independent journalists who are unafraid to disrupt the status quo so that we have access to truth. Carl Deal and Tia Lessin's new film follows independent journalist and Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and her refusal to surrender to power.

UK media is forbidden from reporting these shocking facts: Palestine Action is being deceptively tried for “terrorism,” with jurors being told it’s a mere criminal trial PA’s lawyer faces contempt of court for mounting an effective defense The British state is so desperate to crush these antiwar activists and preserve Israeli death factories on its soil that it is resorting to crude anti-democratic tactics and corrupting the entire jury system

On average, it takes around five police officers to arrest one elderly pensioner, in case you were wondering. A phenomenally wasteful use of taxpayers money all for Labour ministers to save face. Everyone knows Palestine Action are not terrorists. It’s time to Lift The Ban.

One of Orwell's nightmares materialised would be this: potential war criminals and arm manufacturers implicated in a genocide allowed to roam and operate freely, while citizens get arrested for opposing a genocide.

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all. It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media. Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

Protesters in the Italian capital raised a shroud bearing the names of 21,000 children killed by Israeli forces during the genocide, in a demonstration condemning the ongoing massacres in Gaza.

BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the Palestine Action ban. He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."

Please read the great @JohnSimpsonNews writing for @thenerve_news On Israel’s ‘journacide’. The deliberate targeting & murder of journalists with absolute impunity

CPJ condemns in the strongest terms the killing of at least three journalists in Lebanon and Gaza by Israel in one day, at least one of which was in a targeted attack. These are their names: ⚪ Mohammed Samir Washah ⚪ Ghada Dayekh ⚪ Suzan Khalil Read more: cpj.org/?p=579439

Lucy McDaid, Sky News, "You have a party policy on NATO, should it be reviewed? Should we be leaving the alliance?" Zack Polanski, "What we're seeing is Donald Trump is an increasingly unpredictable and dangerous man" "Just a couple of days ago he said he was willing to wipe out a civilisation" "Now there's a ceasefire, but Israel is taking advantage of it in terms of bombing Lebanon" "What I've been arguing for a long time and is coming into fruition anyway" "Is that we need to be working with our European neighbours and our European allies" "Brexit was one of the most catastrophic decisions this country has every made: socially, culturally and economically" "But we're also seeing that in terms of our security" "We are increasingly isolated" "It is time to have conversations with our European neighbours on what an alliance and security looks like without relying on Donald Trump" "And the last thing I'd note is that this Labour government were attacking me for these comments just a few months ago, but are now saying the exact same things" "I've been incredibly vindicated for what I've been saying about Donald Trump" "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at this man and say this is not somebody we can rely on for the security of this country" "We also need to look to other threats: pandemic resilience, cybersecurity, and food resilience" "We need a holistic review on what our national security looks like" "We know we are not safe when our security relies on Donald Trump"

BREAKING! Amid widespread bombing across Arab regions, Israel approves its largest-ever colonial expansion. Under the "fog of war'', what I warned on 14 Oct 2023 is unfolding: the largest ethnic cleansing/land grab in Palestine, since the Nakba. It’s happening. Under our watch.

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

"Do you support Israel's 'right to exist'?" It's a 'gotcha' queston and I debunk all the BS surrounding the 'right to exist' propaganda right here:
