NEW: French researcher Stephanie Lamy exposes the network of “race realists” who hunted Jason Arday like prey, and the media that fell into his trap. If you think the news cycle has “moved on” from this story, ask yourself why? broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-killin...

Israel has finally admitted to killing Hind Rajab. 933 days later. Zeteo's @premthakker.bsky.social spent years pressing the US and Israeli governments on this killing – all for them to deflect and lie. If it took this long for the truth to come out, how can you trust Israel on anything?

Every human soul has been through some kind of pain, or grief. And so we can recognize it in each other. When we do, in general, we don't first ask "which party do you belong to?". We simply offer an ear, a shoulder, support. It's what MAKES us human. Don't let yourself be stripped of compassion!

Well America, you did your best. You had a couple of days where you demonstrated. And some of you posted on social media. What else could you have done? Goodbye democracy, goodbye international security order, goodbye climate. Goodbye.

North Korea sends thousands of troops, hundreds of ballistic missiles and millions of artillery shells to help russian forces invading Ukraine and waging war on the West. Putin ordered his operative, the traitor Trump, to run a distraction campaign of information warfare. The Axis of Nihilism.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Oi, Burnham! Severe Alert? I'll give you a Severe Alert! What are your plans to tackle the climate emergency? What are you going to do about North Sea oil? Where's your Environment Secretary? The planet's on fire, man! Telling us not to cook a sausage isn't going to cut it! Get out here and lead!

Racism "Promoted by a resurgent far right developing conspiracy theories of fantasy world domination. Theories go unchallenged" This article highlights police step back and also our gov, it's time to hold everyone involved in this violence, those who instigate it to those who carry it out to account

Medieval mumbo-jumbo and simple hate lie behind the Thetford riots

A town that should be quiet has erupted and hit the national headlines – again. What’s behind it all?

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · last mo.

Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore. When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.

This burning summer is the proof: the voices of climate denial aren’t just delusional, they’re deadly | Sadiq Khan

Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

“Civilization could prove to be a fragile thing,” — Shell Oil internal memo, 1989. They knew. They lied. They lobbied for more and more fossil fuel contracts.
