The grim and awful history of anti-semitism is a legacy Europeans have a duty to educate ourselves on. In case there is still any doubt about what Zionism is, here's another word to associate with it: "capitulation".

Hear from @mollycrabapple.bsky.social about her new book "Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund," chronicling the 20th-century socialist revolutionary party that fought antisemitism in Europe and opposed the formation of a Jewish ethnostate in Palestine.

It's hard to believe, but this really is the official position of our country's Very Serious Financial Analysts: "it would simply be too horrible if the strait stays closed, so ... [closes eyes tight, taps heels together] ... it won't!"

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

This is a disgraceful way for SNP Government Ministers to operate internationally. It’s not who we are. www.theferret.scot/scottish-gov...

Scottish Government ‘rolling out red carpet’ for UAE despite Sudan war allegations and human rights record

The principal function of journalism is to hold power to account. The BBC, by contrast, is going out of its way to persecute the powerless.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am old enough to remember all the hot takes that the Scottish Greens and their progressive policies especially on gender identity were not only damaging the party but also dragging down the SNP. Potential voters of parties on the (centre-)left want progressive policies. It shouldn‘t be a surprise.

Will I get in trouble for this. "“Gender critical” is an inaccurate term for a movement which is anything but ‘critical,’ in the academic sense, in its approach. “Gender criticality” is marked, in fact, by a profound lack of intellectual inquiry."

Alt: the romani flag flies proudly from a flag pole it has a green half at the bottom representing the earth, a blue half at the top representing the sky, and a red chakra wheel in the centre, representing both our origins in India and the link many of us (but not all) have to a travelling lifestyle as it also resembles the wheel of a wagon
