Died Spence takes the field for England in Serbia. "A great moment for Djed Spence". His first England cap. "Although the FA do not keep records of religion, it is reported that he is the first Muslim man to play for England".

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

This is Shlomo Filber, a Likud's pollster and former Netanyahu confidant, saying in February that Israel is about to impose a "hunger regime" on Gaza. Three weeks later Israel cut all aid to the strip.
This is starvation policy, planned and implemented.

Full tweet translation in alt-text.
In two or three weeks, when Israel is freed from the obligation imposed on it by the Blinken and Biden administrations 15 months ago!!! to pour astronomical amounts of aid on Hamas. And a famine regime begins on Gaza, backed by Trump, it will be possible to examine and if to what extent Biden's policy delayed the release of the hostages.

“a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population”

A statement by Doctors Against Genocide.

#Gaza
A statement by Doctors Against Genocide which reads: To all international humanitarian organizations, The situation in Gaza is spiraling beyond any medical or moral threshold. The limited stock of intravenous fluids in our hospitals is no longer sufficient to treat the waves of starving individuals arriving at emergency units — from infants to the elderly, they are collapsing from pure exhaustion and hunger. This is no longer just a humanitarian crisis. It is a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population. We urge you — Speak. Act. Intervene. Nasser Medical Complex

🔸 Article 8(2)(b)(xxv)
“Intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including willfully impeding relief supplies, is a war crime.”

Iran’s bombing of Soroka Hospital is a war crime.

Israel’s bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital, Turkish-Palestinian Hospital, Al-Nasr Children's Hospital, Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital & Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in Gaza are war crimes.

It’s that simple.

Much enjoyed the launch of @proftimjackson.bsky.social’s new book #TheCareEconomy. A refreshing and insightful look at what the economy is really for (or should be). The only downside is that it highlights quite how depressing, reductive and trapped our political economy discourse currently is.

Enough media talk of Israel “hitting targets”. There’s no precision. The one target is Gaza, indiscriminately. An internationally-recognised genocide.

And no more “fragile ceasefire” talk. It was never a ceasefire if one side refused to cease fire.

Last night’s death toll: 413, many children.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.

They're lying to you about transgender women and girls in sports Michelle R. Martinelli For The Win They’re lying about transgender people in this world. They’re lying about what LGBTQ+ inclusion in society really means, and they’re lying about trans people in sports. They’re lying about a “transgender cult” and “transgender insanity,” about teachers indoctrinating kids with “transgender ideology” and about “making mice transgender.” Right-wing activists, anti-trans bigots, many politicians, the president — they’re lying to you about many things but especially trans women and girls in sports. They’re lying about transgender athletes supposedly ruining women’s sports, and they’re lying about this being a ubiquitous “problem.” They are deliberately and strategically lying about trans folks’ lives, about trans athletes and about their own disingenuous motivations for pushing these lies. They don’t care because they keep doing it. Worse, it’s working. They're lying about trans people, especially trans women and girls in sports, probably, in part, because the actual data doesn't support their arguments. Yet several states have their own bans against trans athletes competing in sports consistent with their gender identity, despite expert estimates of fewer than 100 trans high school athletes nationwide. In 2022, Utah's Republican governor, Spencer Cox, vetoed an anti-transgender bill - it was eventually overruled by the legislature - and outlined his rationale. Along with the high suicide rates for trans youth, he noted that of 75,000 high school athletes in the state, four identified as trans and just one student was playing girls' sports. A whole state bill targeting four athletes, but really, one.
