Right now the government is putting our communities, our water security and our climate ambitions second to the demands of tech giants. It's time to slam the brakes on water-guzzling, energy hungry datacentres.

Terrifying to see wildfires raging through Scotland. The climate crisis isn't a distant threat - it's right here and right now. How many warning signs and alarm bells until Andy Burnham takes action to end oil and gas drilling?

Solidarity with Zack Polanski as he faces the full machinations of the genocide enabling mainstream media. It's fascinating and horrifying to witness their tactics - there is no low they won't scrape to try and discredit a man so that the stinking system of plunder and abuse can roll on undisturbed.

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it. The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday. (📸 Middle East Observer)
An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.

Last night I introduced my new boyfriend to one of my best (male) friends, who's been struggling, and they really hit it off. Piotr (my boyfriend) likes Noel for being authentic: "When I said something funny, he laughed, and when I said something that wasn't funny, he just...didn't do anything." 😁🥹

You would think most immigrants to the UK were asylum seekers if you listen to the Media, but it is less than 4%. And the housing shortage? 1945-1979 - 5,000,000 council houses built. 1980-2025 - 250,000 council houses built. That's why.

On July 12, Israel reinstated a total ban on sea access for Gaza, warning civilians they could be killed for approaching the shore. The move deepens a blockade in place since 2007, cutting off one of the last remaining lifelines for food, income and survival.

Made the mistake of reading some subtitles on rolling BBC news. The presenter actually claimed there've been 'casualties on both sides' at aid centres in Gaza. The ones where US and Israeli soldiers are luring starving civilians then shooting and bombing them. Both-siding that!!! Fuck off BBC.

Message from French engineer Pascal Maurieras, one of the crew of the Madleen, currently in an Israeli prison.
Greetings from Israeli prisons.

We were intercepted aboard the boat Madleen 110 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza-that is, in the middle of international waters. This was an act of piracy. We are used to dealing with a rogue state.

It is urgent that our European governments impose concrete sanctions on Israel: an end to arms sales, a suspension of diplomatic relations, official recognition of the Palestinian state, and a full economic and cultural boycott of the country.

The fact that Israel is now rushing to intercept boats farther and farther out in international waters shows just how deeply threatened they feel by the growing outcry against the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

This is f*cked up! Stories of ICE luring immigrants to hearings just to arrest them keep coming—now they’re going after kids. Martir Garcia Lara, a fourth grader from Southern California, went to a hearing in Houston with his dad. Instead of an update, they were both detained and separated by ICE.

All Israel has to do to prevent the famine in Gaza from worsening is let the trucks filled with humanitarian aid cross the border. The new “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” is a biometric tracking program and public relations stunt run by US military contractors and disguised as an aid organization.
