Amnesty International: “Tennessee’s attempted, but botched, execution of Christa Pike was an extreme display of cruelty and the latest reminder that the death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.” www.amnestyusa.org/press-releas...

After Botched Execution Attempt, Tennessee Must Commute Christa Pike’s Death Sentence as a First Step

The death penalty is a violation of human rights, and no government should have the power to carry it out.

Faragists rely on the narrative of "men on boats" creating a de facto Fifth Column in the UK to feed their agenda and to stir up hostility and to win votes and ultimately power. Suckers fall for it. Media boosts it. We've been here so many times before and you'd think we'd all wise up but hey ho

I've lived in Israel my entire life. I've seen everything, and I've been protesting too. If Netanyahu wins the election, I will emigrate. It won't be safe for me anymore. I'm saying this as an Anti-Zionist Jew. This place will undoubtedly be worse than Russia and apartheid South Africa. Worse.

I've never seen so many speeches attacking Israel at the UN. It must be clear to everyone now that Netanyahu and his fellow travellers have descended into barbarism. Criticising his war crimes and ethnic cleansing isn't "antisemitism". It's simple humanism. All it takes to understand that is empathy

Welsh poet RS Thomas died #OnThisDay in 2000. Here's a tribute by Rowan Williams (patron of the RS Thomas & ME Eldridge Society)…

Text of poem -

Deathship.
(In memory of R. S. Thomas)
The last years, words from a window smoothing the sea, the iron back and forth to probe the fugitive wrinkles carving a path down to the lost gate.
What hid in the pale clefts till now feels for the light, a soft uncertain lingering as if through stone, through furrows of flint.
The tides pressed neat as for an evening out: time to drag down a black boat from the shed, off through the gate, to balance on the slow sea at dark, ready to sail.
The smoke will rise, the cloudy pillar wavering across the sky's long page At dawn, somewhere westward, the boat flares in a blaze of crying birds.
- Rowan Williams

A black-and-white close-up portrait of an elderly RS Thomas with tousled white hair and a deeply lined face, wearing a dark coat. He is looking slightly off-camera with a happy expression.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...
