@gwynnion Stop being scared about Harris - but you would do as well to be worried about the state of the USA even if she does become President. The planet does stand a bit more of a chance with the Democrats, don't forget that. And so does Ukraine.

@dangillmor I totally agree, and my colleagues still there say 'I know, but...' An interesting demonstration of how people might have behaved in Nazi Germany,

@gothodile @Nickiquote @selzero Fortunately not often true in the UK. And fists? Moi?

I hope I live long enough to see AOC as President. She seems indefatigable, and even though as a non-US citizen I can't donate, I enjoy reading her many e-missives.

Netanyahu can't lie quickly enough to keep up with the latest atrocity. Al-Jazeera latest (and all over the BBC World Service): 'Thirteen out of 21 people killed in the latest Israeli military attack on tent cities in southern Rafah’s so-called “safe area” of al-Mawasi were women and girls as deadly strikes on civilians continue.'

What the hell is Labour doing welcoming nasty, racist, right-wing, 'bigoted woman' Elphicke? Can't they just say no, look at your vile track record? There should be NO political home for such people. Of course it's pure opportunism. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/08/conservative-mp-natalie-elphicke-defects-to-labour-party

Your daily reminder via Al-Jazeera, since the western press won't do it:

'At least 34,568 Palestinians have been killed and 77,765 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, its Health Ministry says.

'The ministry added that 33 people were killed and 57 injured in the latest 24-hour reporting period.'

@aral Not quite so simple, is it?

@ecosaurian @SteveClough @Geri @Roadwarrior29 Really, the BBC were told to stop the broadcasts? How quickly people forget how straightforward she was in those daily appearances, how totally the opposite of the criminal down south.

Found this sentence especially alarming: 'The climate campaign said police had forcibly entered their homes, searched their belongings and confiscated papers. ' Criminal government indeed - Fascist state.
