Trump and the GOP have been working hard to keep this video from being reposted on social media. Repost it, keep it alive. Too many people aren't paying attention to who Donald Trump is. He's a liar, and by his own words, he must be held accountable.🤥

It is clear that the IDF should be proscribed in the UK as a terrorist group It is also clear that Palestine Action should be deproscribed

President Trump’s decision to waive sanctions against Russia as Putin continues his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine dishonors the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham and is decidedly not in the national interests of the United States and should be reversed. Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength. Waiving Graham Act sanctions on Russia signals weakness at a moment that demands American strength. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression, just as we did during the years of the first Trump Administration. A victory in Ukraine would be a victory for freedom and is squarely in the national interests of the United States. If Putin overruns Ukraine, I have no doubt it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him. For the cause of freedom, for America’s national security and that of our allies including Ukraine, President Trump should Restore sanctions under the Graham Act immediately, Rescind the diesel deal with Russia and Rally our Allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

The parking lot at Disneyland #Paris went #solar. 67,000 #solarpanels will make it one of the largest solar canopies in Europe. Time to give every parking lot a #solarpower upgrade. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climateAction #climate #endfossilfuels

Can anyone remember the last time @BBCNews interviewed a Palestinian about their experience of the racism of Zionism? Having spent the last two weeks interviewing elderly Nakba survivors in Jordan, driven off their land in their teens because of their ethnicity and religion, I'd be happy to suggest some astonishingly articulate victims of Israeli racism who would be only too happy to tell their tragic stories of eviction, slaughter and dispossession. It is like reporting on the Civil Rights movement in the US and only interviewing outraged Whites @bbclaurak @bbcnickrobinson @JustinOnWeb @BBCr4today
“[Saying] ‘Zionism is racism’ is offensive, it’s antisemitic and it’s dangerous” Broadcaster Jo Coburn says she “watched in horror” as the Green Party passed its motion on Zionism and criticises leader Zack Polanski's defence in his #BBCLauraK interview bbc.co.uk/news/live/c64gv8k2…

The time is long past to review this proscription. Arresting 80-year-old clerics on their Zimmer frames for holding up pieces of paper is as ludicrous as it is a waste of precious police resources. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crn4…

🇪🇺🇬🇧 The UK is back. The UK will soon reintegrate into the EU, paving the way for Europe's full economic and military integration. Britain is essential to ending Europe's dependence on Washington and forging an independent foreign policy. For the UK, reintegration would mean greater economic prosperity and global influence Britain's biggest mistakes of the 21st century is finally coming to an end.

Brilliant work by cartoonist @BJennings90, perfectly capturing the absurdity of counter-terror policing in the UK. #SallyRooney #SarahHelm

One from the archives Sally Rooney in 2024: ".. we are witnessing an unfolding genocide.. the roots of this particular tragedy are in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine & the apartheid system.. keep protesting.. it is the least that we can do"
