@hrw.org may have blocked Omar Shakir & Milena Ansari’s report because it linked Israel’s denial of Palestinians’ right of return to a prosecutable international crime against humanity. So it should, after 77 years of enforcing genocidal mass expulsions.

Yesterday Green councillors called for the city to support the Filton 24 hunger strikers who have been held without trial for months.

Others blocked this as too risky to even talk about, in an eye opening moment for the state of human rights under Labour.

In the wake of the horrific ICE killings in Minnesota, many prominent Democrats have called for ICE to wear body cameras. Yesterday, @equalityalec.bsky.social talked to @democracynow.org about how important it is that we don't get distracted by meaningless & counterproductive reforms.

⭕️ Video | Disturbing footage from Al-Shifa Medical Complex shows families forced to scan unidentified bodies and boxes of human remains delivered by the Red Cross, without names, documentation, or forensic support. The Director General of Gaza’s Health Ministry says 54 bodies and 66 boxes of human fragments were transferred in this condition, leaving families to identify their sons and daughters without DNA testing or any forensic capacity. He noted the state of the remains shows torture and abuse, even after death, and called Israel’s actions a deliberate attempt to erase identity and a grave moral and humanitarian crime. Dr. Alboursh warned that international silence makes the world a partner in this crime. See new posts Conversation Dr.Muneer Alboursh د.منيرالبرش @Dr_Muneer1 Translated from Arabic Gaza receives the remains of its sons and daughters… and the world remains silent This is not a passing image, nor a fleeting scene in a news bulletin. These are the remains of human beings. Separated bones, limbs without names, and bodies that did not return as they left their homes, but as killing intended them to be erased. A short while ago, 54 bodies arrived at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, accompanied by 66 boxes containing human fragments and body parts, released through the Red Cross. But what is truly being handed over? Corpses? Or what remains of human dignity? Today we stand before sealed boxes, searching inside them for the features of our sons and daughters, in the complete absence of forensic tools, no DNA tests, and not even the minimum medical or criminal investigative capacity that would allow us to identify them or document them as befits a human being. How do we return names to bodies that have been reduced to numbers on bags and boxes? How do families receive their sons and daughters when their features have been obliterated, their bones shattered, and their bodies subjected to violation even after death? We are not facing ordinary death, but a violation that extends beyond death. A deliberate attempt to erase identity, to break memory, and to humiliate the living before the dead. Returning bodies in this state is not a circumstance of war, nor a military procedure, but a complete moral and humanitarian crime, and a flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions that were ever established to protect human dignity, alive or dead. We are not asking for the impossible, nor demanding a privilege. We are demanding a self-evident right: that a human being be returned as a human being, that their body be preserved, We are not asking for the impossible, nor demanding a privilege. We are demanding a self-evident right: that a human being be returned as a human being, that their body be preserved, that their identity be respected, and that the remains be handed over to their families with dignity— not in boxes, not as fragments, not as numbers. When the world remains silent in the face of this scene, it is not Gaza alone that becomes the victim— silence itself becomes a partner in the crime.

Nigel Farage’s idea to let the Bank of England hold assets in digital currencies isn’t bold reform — it’s dangerous central-bank tinkering that would undermine monetary stability, blur fiscal/monetary lines, and risk political interference in core financial plumbing.

Foreign Press Association 'not only fails to achieve its goal of lifting the ban on press access to #Gaza, but also helps legitimize the external perception of a good-faith “judicial review” — a cornerstone of #Israel ’s self-professed liberal democracy.'

Employment and unemployment rates often misunderstood. Employment rates depend on number of ppl working relative to working age population. Unemployment rate ignores people who have given up looking for work. Cheers.

this was done intentionally - multiple ministers including Willis & Seymour bragged about how many jobs they’d cut in the first 12 months of their government. the reserve bank literally said it wanted unemployment up to control inflation. as with so many other policies this term, it’s social murder
