  "The protracted slaughter in #Gaza stands as one of the defining moral catastrophes of the modern era. With tens of thousands of #Palestinians killed, disproportionately women, children and infants, the descent of an entire enclave into manufactured famine, medical collapse and total annihilation has unfolded in real time." #GazaGenocide https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/08/11/americans-in-gaza-financiers-of-a-graveyard-2/

  "The bombs flattening apartment blocks, tent camps and the entirety of #Gaza, are branded with “Made in the USA” and paid for with billions of dollars plucked from American taxpayers. The diversion of public funds towards the slaughter in Gaza, while domestic pillars like healthcare, housing and education deteriorate, renders our silence a form of complicity. We have become the financiers of a graveyard" #GazaGenocide https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/08/11/americans-in-gaza-financ...

  These are human children, damn you, not units of production for your grey and soulless mills and offices. They should be playing, not being assessed, psychologically profiled and assigned to the optimal task to extract the maximum profit from them for your #kleptocrat masters.

  Friends in #Gaza: western media are reporting that #Hamas has agreed to disarm in return for #Israel withdrawing from Gaza. This deal is reported to have been negotiated by the so-called #BoardOfPeace. Do you believe that, if this were true, it would be good news? Do you believe that it is true? Do you trust the Board of Peace? Do you trust Israel to comply? #GazaGenocide #Palestine Trump says Board of Peace has reached agreement for disarmament of Hamas - BBC News https://share.google/55...

  The only 'pragmatic approach' to #OilAndGas, Mr #Burnham, is to shut it all down, arrest all the executives, and put them all on trial charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The #MetOffice is already predicting temperatures which will cause mass deaths in the #UK within thirty years. #NorthSeaOilAndGas #ClimateEmergency #ThereIsNoEconomyOnADeadPlanet https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/30/burnham-promises-pragmatic-approach-to-north-sea-oil-and-gas

  @Layan2002@mastodon.social's latest blog post shows the visceral reality of the #GazaGenocide. This is what #Israel is doing; this is what our western governments are selling weapons to help them do, and, by not sanctioning them, tacitly supporting. Are you happy that this is being done in your name? If not, please write to your representatives and urge them to call for the immediate execution of the #InternationalCriminalCourt arrest warrants. https://www.journeyman.cc/layan/posts-output/...

  "The seven areas officially in drought are East Anglia, Hertfordshire and the whole of London, Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Devon and Cornwall, the West Midlands, and Wessex (covering Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and south Gloucestershire)." That's most of England's cereal growing land and a lot of its horticultural land. England is going to see a very thin harvest this autumn. #FoodSecurity https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/29/half-england-o...

  "One individual the authors discuss in detail in the book is former UK prime minister #TonyBlair and the lack of accountability seen over events such as the invasion of #Iraq. Often now deemed a so-called expert on the Middle East, Making A Killing shows how #Blair has built his wealth on the back of the invasion, with Feinstein describing him as 'one of the world’s most shameless and brazen #WarProfiteers '." #ArmsTrade #InternationalCriminalCourt #GazaGenocide https://w...

  “You see abject poverty and extreme wealth, you see how the family you were born into affects your life and you understand why inequality is wrong. It’s not just that it perpetuates itself, it’s that it’s fundamentally wrong and it needs to be changed.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@haya200/116975602681617946 Friends You know there are many, many people in #Gaza in need, and one person cannot support them all. I have no spare money to take on anyone new. Haya is living with her parents and two married brothers in a tent on rented land; there are three children in the household. Please, if you have spare money, consider supporting her. #Gaza #GazaGenocide #DirectAidRequest

  This morning I had to tell @Nour_gaza_s@mastodon.social that I could not help her this week. She replied: "​I understand that, but please, if you can share my campaign with anyone who might help us—we have no food left, not even bread. I am so sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, but I am completely helpless... Please don't leave me alone, my children are crying from hunger, and I don't know what to do. We are a family of 8 members." Can anyone help? Her donation link is h...

  "Since this enormous initial atrocity, there have been further atrocities on both sides; but, although attacks against civilians in either direction are inexcusable, the scale of death, suffering, rape, damage and destruction wrought by #Israel on #Gaza is orders of magnitude worse than the other way. Yes, there's wrong on both sides. But there is by no means equal wrong on both sides." #GazaGenocide https://www.journeyman.cc/blog/posts-output/2026-07-20-Helping-Gaza/

  "Foundry is a proprietary product. Some #NHS data analysts told us that all their work on the FDP would be lost if they no longer had access to #Palantir’s platform.

  Yesterday I said that I had written three good essays this week, and published two of them. Today, I'm publishing the third. This one is not at all cheerful.

  RE: https://freesewing.social/@Rania/116917178323449597 At the end of, and after, the second world war, there was severe famine in the Netherlands.

  "'Left' and 'right' have had the same meaning since the French Revolution. If you want to know if someone is on the left or the right, ask them, 'What is more important: human rights or property rights?' If they say 'Property rights are a human right,' then they are on the right." -- Steven Brust, quoted by @pluralistic@mamot.fr Or, as #Proudhon more succinctly put it, 'Proper tea is theft'. https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/08/wilhoitian/#human...

  "Before the war, beads were my sanctuary. I used to weave them into bracelets and charms—small, colorful tokens of love for my friends and teachers. Each bead held a piece of our laughter, a shared secret, and a promise that we would always be together. But today, those classroom seats are empty. Many of my dear friends are no longer with us. They are gone, but their presence still lingers—a soft, painful echo circling my soul" — @Layan2002@mastodon.social https://www.journeyman.cc/...

  If you lifted #Gaza up, turned it through 90°, and dropped it down in Galloway, it would fit between the Nith and the Water of Fleet, between the main A75 road and the sea. I've cycled more than half that distance this afternoon. I've cycled through green woods and fields under a grey sky, to the sound of birds when there were no passing cars; the same journey in Gaza would be through rubble and wreckage and sandy dust, to the sound of bullets and bombs. #BikeTooter

  @FranceskAlbs@mastox.eu The UN published this on #malnutrition deaths of children in #Gaza a year ago, but I have not found anything more recent. I am hearing of acute hunger now from many people in Gaza. Do you know where I could find more recent figures? How bad, objectively, is the situation now? https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/08/1165643

  "In the UK, national weather service the Met Office has just warned that, by 2056, there could be nine days in a row with temperatures above 40°C, with some places hitting 45°C. In just 30 years! I’ve seen at least one piece asking “is this the new normal?” about the current heatwave, but we’re never going to have normal in our lifetimes again – just ever more extreme heat." #GlobalWarming #ClimateEmergency #ThereIsNoEconomyOnADeadPlanet #ThereIsNoPlanetB https://www.newscientist...

  "With just 0.84% of the global population, the UK’s equal share of the remaining 1.5°C carbon budget (160 GtCO₂) would be 1.34 GtCO₂. The CCC allocates it 3.7 GtCO₂ – nearly three times its equal per person share. However, even an equal share allocation would fall far short of the UN’s equity framework. Past CCC analyses have likewise embedded significant inequities" #UKPol #GlobalWarming #ClimateEmergency https://theconversation.com/the-uks-year-of-climate-u-turns-exposes-a-deepe...
