They block aid. They ban return. They destroy homes. This isn’t a conflict—it’s ethnic cleansing. It’s genocide.
Israel has blocked aid from entering northern Gaza and has said clearly that Palestinians will not be allowed to return home. This is genocide. This is ethnic cleansing.

America…it’s like watching the Fall of Rome. There is no other democracy, from Norway to New Zealand, which would elect as its leader a rapist, felon, liar, ignoramus, misogynist, vindictive bully and charlatan.

We just witnessed the US collapse and they cheered for their own demise. Poor dumb bastards. Everyone that voted Kamala, you did your best, stay strong and survive, you are not alone.

I know that, like me, many of you will be feeling fearful this morning. So on this dark day, we stand in solidarity with all those who dreaded this moment and must now live with its consequences, including those in Gaza and in Ukraine. The struggle for truth, peace, and justice goes on. I recommit myself and my party to that struggle this morning. The politics of hatred will not win. Together, we will go forward with a renewed sense of connection with all those around the world who feel shaken by this election result but determined to continue to defend what matters: to build a safe, just, and inclusive green future. Together we curse the darkness, yes, but we also light candles, to mark our unity and the shared power of radical hope that comes from resistance: resistance to Trump, resistance to fascism, and resistance to all those who seeks to divide us. #USElection2024

Bezos saw it coming & did what he needed to do. Who knows what comes next but this now is oligarchy. It’s the cojoining of state power & business interests. It’s 90s Russia. It’s the chaos before the crackdown. It’s Musk & Thiel & every cryptobro chancer in Silicon Valley

We have to accept that millions of Americans are misogynistic, climate change denying, racist fucking lunatics who don't give a single fuck about anything apart from the price of gas in their tanks. Having done that we need to stop caring about America and build a better Europe.

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

Re: Daily Mail story today. Yes, if Trump comes to the UK I will be out protesting on the streets. He is a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.

2 out of every 3 frontline NHS staff don’t have access to a staff room We think it’s completely unacceptable for staff to work such long shifts, on their feet, without appropriate rest facilities Please repost if you agree

Don't get this trending during the US Election. It would really make Janey Godley RIP smile, and really piss off Trump and Elon Musk.

-@BBCNews have gone beyond disrespectful. It is insulting and despicable. People aren't 'leaving' they are fleeing and being forced out. People aren't 'dying' they are being killed. It's not 'allegedly' Isreal. It is Isreal. The BBC should be ashamed. RT if you agree.
