To be clear, Israel is doing this with the implicit approval of "the West" (USA, Canada, Europe). If you are an American taxpayer, you are paying for this.

The anti-boycott bill passed its second reading in UK parliament last night as @UKLabour, the main opposition, chose to stand aside.
This is despite Labour commissioning a legal opinion, which warned the bill likely breaches the UK's international law obligations. 1/5

š§µWhy should you care about the UK govt's new āanti-boycottā bill?
This bill threatens our collective right to take action for justice by making ethical decisions on how public money is spent. 1/6

Registered vehicles on UK roads:
1991: 20 million
2007: 27 million
2016: 37 million
2020: 38.3 million
2022: 40.8 million
(2030: 50 million?)
Congestion is caused ā and air pollution and climate change is made worse ā not by cycleways or LTNs, but by too many motor vehicles.

Someone has superglued the lock on my Brompton on The Cut, London SE1 outside Costa. If anyone has a battery powered angle grinder or a set of bolt croppers I'd appreciate a visit.

This is your reminder that the daily budget for the NYPD is $29 million.
Imagine what we could achieve if we could divest from policing and instead spend millions on resources that would truly help New Yorkers, like housing, jobs, schools, mental health support, and more.

Cambodia just set a new heat record for the Month of May.
It is worth noting that the hottest time of year for many places in this part of the world is around April and May.
