"I will continue to do what I have to do," UN human rights expert Francesa Albanese told reporters in Ljubljana in response to US sanctions announced against her on Wednesday.
"Yes, of course, it will be challenging... I'm putting everything I have on the line," she added.

“I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.”

This is from Israel's oldest paper. This is Israeli media reporting these war crimes and genocide in broad daylight.
You won't see this in American corporate media. They've continued to ignore this, enable this, even justify and cheer it on.
Do not look away. This is genocide. This cannot stand.

"I'm not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons."
Palestinians and Human rights groups have been screaming this for weeks: the Israeli military is intentionally shooting at Palestinians at the Gaza "aid centers."

My piece in The Examiner about the Rent Pressure Zone legislation and why it worries me. What it's like to be trying to rent and buy in a housing crisis borne of this government's incompetence. #Spéirgorm. I'd planned to keep my head down but then I read the companion piece to mine. See next post
The tenant: 'Safeguards' are just guidelines on how far landlords can push their luck
As renters know all too well, there is a world of difference between what landlords are allowed to do and what they're able to do

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear.

Séamas O’Reilly: Ballymena violence is the result of politics based on scapegoating any ‘other’
"The central perversity of treating these people as anything other than racist thugs is only more transparent in Ballymena because they have so few migrants that any other excuse is patently absurd."

It’s all fraud. Boundless committed fraud the first time they touched the royalties accounts to do anything but pay royalties. That money is not theirs, it never was.
That they’re allowed to go bankrupt and not to prison is itself a crime.

They need their readers to be made constantly angry at marginalised communities so that they never realise that billionaires are the actual cause of their problems.

This is incredible. The biggest, worst theft I’ve seen so far.
Making any money as a writer is almost impossible these days, but if someone’s dipping into your earnings like this - and almost no writers earn at this level - that’s basically a heist.

They owe me about £75,000 and never made a single one of their scheduled repayments.
My US books are all a sublicense of my Unbound deal, so all US royalties went to them, for them to take a cut and then deliver the rest to me. They collected 18 months from Penguin Random House and gave me $0.

Israeli military drones told Palestinians to go to a specific area to collect aid, and when they got there the military drones opened fire on them.

While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually *underrate* the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping *his* slave.
