So it’s my understanding that the idf is an organisation. A military organisation. A military organisation deliberately shooting at unarmed civilians. A military organisation deliberately shooting at civilians queuing for food amidst the deliberate deprivation of food to those >

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.

“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”

This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

ACTION: Sign the petition and tell the UK government to protect our pollinators.
The UK’s pollinator numbers are dropping heavily - we need the UK government to step in and protect them.

Hey, our pollinators here in the UK are dropping rapidly - a butterfly emergency was even called last year. Pollinator numbers dropping is partly due to how much pesticides we use - but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Am I seeing this wrong? Just seen farmers are attending supermarkets, highlighting to the public the cost of food and how the govt is making it hard for them. Surely they should target the supermarkets who give pennies profit to farms and make billions overcharging the public? #farmers 🤷🏼‍♂️ #greed

In this world you can suck up to the rich narcissistic power hungry bullies who don’t give a 💩 about victims, only gaining more power and riches, or you can stand with Jess Phillips. I know which side I’m on ✊🏻 #istandwithjessphillips
VD: “As a result of some of Elon Musk’s tweets, the threat to you has gone up?”

JP: “Yes...”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jess Phillips about Elon Musk’s attacks about her response to grooming gangs in the UK, adding his comments are “endangering” her.

“How worried is the prime minister about Jess Phillips’ safety right now?”

Stephen Kinnock tells @vicderbyshire.bsky.social that Keir Starmer will be “worried”, adding that the murder of Jo Cox is a reminder of the “tragic consequences” of language that “whips up violent sentiment”.

🦊 Foxes are incredible creatures—playful, intelligent, and vital to our ecosystems. They deserve to live in peace, not hunted down by a pack of hounds and cowards on horseback.

If you earned $1000 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for the rest of your life, and you didn't pay any tax, and you didn't spend a cent.

And you worked for 100 years.

You would still only have 0.25% of the money Elon Musk has.
