If this were happening in the streets of Moscow, Beijing or Tehran, there would be wall to wall, 24/7 news coverage, and the talking heads of the capitalist press would be calling for the leaders to step down. The media would pick a colour, and call it a "revolution."

Labour are really showing themselves up. They're comparing those of us demanding an end to the genocide with Reform and Tommy Robinson. Keir Starmer may have gone - but his politics and our Governments commitment to arms licences very much remain. 👇🏽
“We have to call out bad behaviour wherever it exists.” @Len_Duvall challenges the Greens’ ‘Zionism is racism’ motion, Reform’s attack on Sagal Abdi-Wali and Susan Hall speaking at a rally with Tommy Robinson, while acknowledging where Labour’s has faced up to its failures too.

Excellent from Sheffield Green Party pointing out reservations working with Labour whilst their government arms a genocide. If Labour chooses to destabilise local councils because they want to play party politics - then they can own the consequences for the city. 👏🏼

"Even voters who know little about Palestine will struggle to understand why Labour is turning on its own local administrations. The impression it creates is not of a party that’s been renewed as a force for ‘hope’, but of one that remains petty, vindictive and self-serving."

I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party. You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism". 🔗 trib.al/c05KDDg

Every once in a while the fundamental difference between Catholics and Evangelicals comes into stark relief:
I support the Pentagon’s decision to livestream the execution of mass-murderer Nidal Hassan.   Capital punishment is commanded by God in Genesis 9:6 to remind people of the sanctity of human life. The more people that can see that truth illustrated through a public execution, the better. @DeptofWar @PeteHegseth

NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan. Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.”

Never forget, for all its faults the DDR was the *only* Germany that's ever existed that didn't perpretrate any genocide(s), but also helped fight imperialism the world over, providing substantial support to anti-colonial movements. What happened to *this* legacy?

The first mission of the Church is to help people be attentive to the profound questions of life: those concerning our origin and our destiny, as well as those concerning the meaning of love and suffering. The logic of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information risk exerting undue pressure on people to conform to a lifestyle centred on the consumption of material goods, but our hearts are made to look upwards. #GeneralAudience

October 7th was the bravest display of anti-colonial resistance the world had seen since Algeria, Kenya, and Vietnam. It shattered Israel's invincibility, exposed Zionism, and cracked America's imperial hold on the Middle East.

In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

In response to an appeal by the Garvaghy Road residents, we are more than happy to add our voice to this open call on the British Secretary of State Chris Bryant, supporting the right of the Garvaghy Road community to live in peace, free from fear and intimidation.

Along with several MPs on a cross party basis I have written to Chris Bryant, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, to intervene to halt the proposed Orange Order march in the Garvaghy Road to avoid this issue causing further harm to the community overall.

The end of the Orange Order’s sectarian Garvaghy Road march was a symbol of the positive change seen with the Good Friday Agreement. With colleagues I’ve written to the Secretary of State calling on him to stop the return of what was a notorious flashpoint for sectarian violence.

Man I love being Catholic. Stained glass, bones in snazzy displays, Mary and her zillion titles, beautiful sacraments, Butlerian Jihad, literally eating Jesus, being right. It's got everything.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Why would the Pope care if some dude from Anthropic walks out on him? It’s the hubris - that ‘I’m a big tech bro so I have massive leverage over the POPE’ that’s amazing here
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm. For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…
