Yolande Knell reports the US say they are targeting missiles, launchers & air defence systems & the Israelis say they have hit a secret nuclear facility
This morning the Telegraph reports schools, hospitals & residential buildings have all been bombed. Knell doesn't mention that
Worth watching for Zack's comments and the disgust on the face of the Sky dude that they're being called out.
They really do not understand we see who they are...
@zackpolanski.bsky.social with the perfect reply to all those people complaining that one of the issues the Greens campaigned on in Gorton & Denton is Gaza.
this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.
Goodwin is employing a straight-up Holocaust denier.
In our latest, we speak with Alberto Toscano @alfatau.bsky.social about fascism as an antagonistic politics of social reproduction, some of the particular features of the crackdowns on care in Trump’s second term, and Alberto’s book Late Fascism

Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after l returned from Los Angeles-Shem Tov Lusky-again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital. I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: hamdanalhrane90@gmail.com Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day. We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky-the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year-came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital. The Israeli court decision was supposed to make things a bit quieter for us. But the opposite has been true. The settlers have ramped up their harassment and the Israeli authorities have done nothing to enforce the decision, and today they joined the settlers in the attack. 8 hours ago
From Hamdan Ballal, co-director of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.” This is happening now.

Vote labour, get Reform
The mood in Gorton and Denton is clear - Labour have blown it.
Only the Greens can stop Reform.
HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd of hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and other Jews have gathered outside ICE headquarters in DC for the largest ever Jewish protest against ICE’s violence and crimes. #jewsagainstICE
A group of hotel housekeepers went on strike for the first time in 40 years.
And won!
Organising works. Trade unions work.

Tonight Labour voted with the Tories to block plans to deliver cleaner air, faster buses, safer cycling and nicer walking, and enabled future mass transit.
It was the old Labour administration's idea in the first place! They care more about petty political pointscoring than what's good for Bristol.
Palantir needs to keep its grubby hands off our NHS.
The NHS is the best thing about this country.
Anyone who plans on ripping it up and handing over the shreds to the highest bidder has no place anywhere near politics.
And that’s before you even begin to consider any of this Epstein stuff.
I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.
A thread.

There is no "immigration problem"
There is no migrant problem
There is no problem with illegals
There is no border crisis
Only a problem of the border and the machinery of death that upholds it.
You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.
ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
9 TOTAL.
ABOLISH ICE.
Reminding you all that Nigel Farage has proudly claimed he is going to be setting up a British version of ICE here in the UK to terrorise us just like American ICE if he ever becomes PM. He has openly said he wants to deport legal migrants.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
Watch true detective: night country. The protagonists are women and the dead bodies are all male…
Finishing up my BAFTA film watch for voting… as ever I do wish that all the films with women screaming, sobbing, running in terror, being dragged across the floor… had the same amount of that stuff happening to men.

Managing Director of @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social, Joanne Roney herself ended negotiations on the dispute after backtracking on the ballpark deal she made at Acas and she has refused to come back to the table ever since.
As for the government commissioners – they ought to be sent packing.
