Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen.
What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

These conversations about low NHS productivity are so bizarre.
What makes people and orgs productive? Care. Good pay. Support. Demonstrations of value.
NHS staff have been treated terribly and continually bashed by the media..
The government needs to start supporting NHS staff properly!

Only rail - and even then, five of the 15 rail companies are already back in public hands because they are so badly run it was the Tories who couldn't let them be run privately any longer.

My definition includes the 200,000 plus former members who've left the party as it has moved further to the right compared to where it was even when Tony Blair was leader and as left candidates/elected officials have been removed or prevented from standing for office.

Desert Island Discs - Ian Wright, former footballer and broadcaster - BBC Sounds
Ian Wright, former footballer, shares the soundtrack of his life with Lauren Laverne.
Today I listened to an old Desert Island Discs where Lauren Laverne interviewed Ian Wright.
He was open, honest, articulate, and above all incredibly emotionally intelligent.
I'm not ashamed to say that tears came to my eyes more than once.

A GOP-Backed Center Stoked Faculty Paranoia at the U. of Florida. Then Ben Sasse Got Mad.
The inside story of how a president and a dean forced professors to cooperate with the Hamilton Center for Classical and Civic Education.
Strongly recommend this @chronicle.com article. A detailed portrait of the reactionary assault on independent universities and the playbook they're seeking to normalize through political appointees, budget inequities, erosion of faculty governance at every level.

Israelβs true objective in northern Gaza? Removing Palestinians β and annexing the territory | Ben Reiff
Settlers have been dreaming of a return to Gaza for nearly 20 years β and Trumpβs presidency may only embolden them, says Ben Reiff of +972 magazine
45,000 Gazans dead. 90% of the living displaced. No one's been deceived. They've looked away.
"A senior IDF officer quietly admitted what the intl community has long been reluctant to acknowledge: that Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing in N Gaza & deceiving the world abt its true objectives."

On this Independence Day for Palestine - it stands in the shadow of 45,000 people who have been murdered by the Israeli government.
It stands in the shadow of a brutal occupation & an ongoing assault that feels like peace is a distant dream.
The UK must end arms sales now.

Honestly a huge part of it is that you used to be able to report an account with a swastika profile pic tweeting endlessly about aryan supremancy and it would get removed, now it can pay for a special blue tick to get on your FYP and X just puts any complaints in the shredder.

Hello everyone!
I'm known as GET A GRIP/@docrussjackson on Twitter/X, & have been hanging in there to fight the good fight.
Elon Musk's latest announcement is the final push I needed to join Bluesky: allowing blocked @X accounts to read anyone's posts is dangerously irresponsible.
Do say hello!

Palestine Means Justice, Dignity and Freedom for our Generation. We Cannot Ever Back Down.
More than virtually any other current major struggle, Palestine invokes the dearest, most pressing and vital elements of our shared moment in time. The people know it. So does capitalist-colonialism
Hi Bluesky
I'm an Israel-born, anti-Zionist, Arab-Jewish writer, and somewhat of a political activist. I am mostly about freedom and liberation from all kinds of domination and colonization.
(I would have posted the essay here, but it's too long).
