If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Fun fact: In 2023 Jason Bagshaw shot a man in the street while he was off duty and even with stiff competition is known as one of the worst cops in DC!
NEW— DC Metropolitan Police just shared a tiny bit more body cam footage from the March US Institute of Peace raid in response to my FOIA lawsuit w/ @rcfp.org
One clip shows USIP President George Moose being escorted out.
Moose: You know we're gonna see you all in court.
MPD: Yea we figured that.

It would seem problematic for a D.C. police officer to use an illegal license plate cover that could get any normal driver pulled over in the city. (And park their car with it in front of MPD headquarters, to boot.)

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

This, I had genuinely thought more people knew about the 'the more power you get the shittier your emails' rule.
Always assumed it was half power play and half everyone has to answer them no matter what so why make any effort.

This is, in my experience, how nearly all rich people and CEOs/EDs email. It’s not that they’re illiterate, it’s that they cannot be bothered to take the time for grammar or punctuation when it’s just casual correspondence.
Holding all pedophilia & trafficking horrors temporarily in abeyance— what always scandalizes me the most is finding out that the rich& powerful are functional illiterates with no grasp of spelling, punctuation or grammar.
