“Now is not the time to sanction Israel,” an EU diplomat said.

Tell that to those mourning, starving, maimed, living under occupation and apartheid.

Sanctions, suspension of EU-Israel deal must be squarely on the table - and leave it only once adopted.

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 4 days left to stop this. Don't let them destroy our rivers, forests & wildlife in silence. Don't let them scrap the rules that are there to protect us and our children #HandsOffNature handsoffnature.eu?utm=.share.b...
Hands Off Nature – Defend Europe’s Forests, Rivers & Wildlife

Op 15 juni trokken 110.000 mensen de rode lijn voor Gaza. Maar politici nemen nog steeds geen échte sancties. De genocide gaat door, de medeplichtigheid ook.

Op 7 september komen we nog groter en luider terug in Brussel. We trekken opnieuw de rode lijn en tonen de rode kaart aan onze politici. ✊🟥

Ancient Roman historian Tacitus wrote 2000 years ago a timeless definition of imperialism:

"To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."

Hozier being censored by the BBC for his outspoken support for #Palestine at Reading Festival.

This man has been doing this at every concert for years – here it was June 2024 in Brussels.

Thank god for Irish artists 🍀🇵🇸

Lol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues.

Food prices have increased 40 fold.

UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza.

Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

Urgent action! 🚨

Children in Gaza are starving. Not by accident—Israel’s government is deliberately starving the population. And the EU keeps doing trade as usual. 😠

Tell the EU: suspend the trade deal with Israel, stop arms exports, & sanction perpetrators. 🍉

Proud of Brussels yesterday — we showed that Belgian and European citizens #StandWithGaza 🇵🇸 now up to the EU to listen.
🔴 110,000 people formed a red line in Brussels, because in #Gaza, all red lines have long been crossed.

We urge the EU to:

🕊️ Demand a permanent ceasefire
🚑 Ensure full humanitarian access
📉 Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement

The red line is clear. Now the EU must act.

This article by @damiengayle.bsky.social hits even harder as we scroll past the images of a genocide broadcast live.

The lead: "Defence spending boosts across world will worsen climate crisis which in turn will cause more conflict".

It is as simple as that.

Pepe Mujica, the anarchist guerilla who became president of Uruguay, has passed on. He leaves behind as good a legacy as it's possible to leave.

So it goes.

Welcome to the most depressing timeline ever
"It’s not just the students: Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students’ essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one."

Starmer doesn't seem to realise that, if you consistently accept the way your opponents frame a question, you'll find it hard to reject the answers that they give.

If you keep telling voters that Farage is right in his analysis, it will be hard to persuade them that he's wrong in his prescriptions.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

This piece is a bit bleak, but it's a banger.

If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism. 🧵
