tourists are insulting french protesters in paris, this is dystopian
comfortably in their little trip in paris, discrediting the suffering of people actually living here
they might see paris as some kind of romantic movie, but they need to face reality

As someone who both knows Eleanora Folan irl and who doesn’t agree with her on things as far ranging as assisted dying to communism; picking on someone for their physical disabilities and claiming they can work because they post online, is pretty foul behaviour.

Branthwaite appears to be okay. You have to feel for Emi Martinez here. Stretchered off and major cause for concern for the veteran keeper.
it's a bit weird to see this play out after leaving the greens behind, but I think they've shot themselves in the foot by providing an semantic argument to their core message. instead of fighting genocide and racism in practice directly they will be guided into language debate
The ‘Zionism is racism’ motion will likely damage Zack Polanski’s chance of winning the Holborn & St Pancras by-election. Given the tone of news coverage this morning voters undecided about the Greens may be put off. The motion itself was one of around 200 tabled. It’s likely that witnessing the Gaza genocide and the inaction of world leaders got the motion over the line; of course it was Hitler’s genocide of the Jews that accelerated the establishment of Israel. My personal view is that while the desire for self determination by any group of people is not inherently racist. However, if, in practice, that self determination results in displacement, ethnic cleaning, bureaucratic apartheid, and mass killings then that is racism.

The pig industry relies on the blood of pregnant horses.
Pregnant mares are kept on ‘blood farms’ and are repeatedly, forcibly impregnated so their blood can be harvested for PMSG - a hormone used by the pig industry to manipulate mother pigs’ reproductive cycles and increase litter sizes.
Blood farms operate in countries including Iceland, Argentina and Uruguay. Their product ends up in pig farms here in the UK.
It’s another example of how animal agriculture treats animals as production units - extracting whatever it can from their bodies to produce more animals, more ‘meat’ and more profit.
And while these practices are horrific, the problem isn’t simply that animals are being treated badly. The problem is that we’re treating animals as commodities at all.
There is no ‘ethical’ way to exploit animals for profit.
Animals are not products. They are individuals who deserve to live for themselves.
You choose what you pay for every day.
Choose vegan.

Generally disagree with Jacob Rees-Mogg on almost everything but this is such a good example of how insane America has gone that Carlson genuinely thinks the UK is more authoritarian than Russia and even JMS is shocked:
Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg explains how Britain, which has a combat ready military force about half the size of New York’s police department, must prepare for war with Russia.

turning reports of sexual violence into spectacles of debate serves misogynists two ways. they get the cruel pleasure of retraumatising people and it establishes a kind of assumed-cost for people reporting their violence. hard to imagine they don't know what they're doing.
i'm half convinced some leftists haven't left the liberal-adjacent 2010s american sociology where reactionary chauvinism treats entire populations as deserving or undeserving monoliths (not too far from bourgeois zionist beliefs) abandoning solidarity entirely

Im starting to suspect thay a lot of you are not principled anti zionist leftists and actually do just vehemently despise Jewish people. If you see Mamdani say "antisemtism is bad" and your response is "they got him" you're opperating on the same ideological level as Nick Fuentes

george michael is probably my favorite pop star and one of his many talents is his unbelievable voice. if you do a tribute to him you should feature singers who can do his songs the justice they deserve :-(
Sombr pays tribute to George Michael with a performance of "Father Figure" at the #VMAs.
