I'm now posting more on Bluesky than on Elon Musk's bully pulpit. Hope to see you over on the brighter side.

3 of the 4 people didn’t attack the police officer and all of the 4 were cleared of violent intent. So the only disgrace here is the lie you’re telling to justify a clear miscarriage of justice & the use of anti-terror laws to justify your government’s complicity in a genocide.

Smashing up property and attacking a police officer with a sledgehammer is not “protest”
It’s violence
Zack Polanski is a disgrace. Anyone voting Green is supporting this nonsense

How about you fess up to the fact your owner has hundreds of millions invested in Palantir @michaelgove - and yet you fail to declare any of this when you publish a piece by a Peter Thiel employee.
That ain’t journalism. It’s undeclared PR

Elon is the embodiment of this meme. At the very moment he became the world's first trillionaire (on paper), he was busy stoking unrest and racist protests in the UK.

Belfast ranks 32nd per capita for asylum seekers in the UK.
Northern Ireland hosts 2,379 in total. That’s 0.1% of its population.
NI is 97% white.
Asylum seekers are not “illegal migrants”; they’re going through a legal government process.

Belfast houses more asylum seekers per capita than almost any other place in the UK.
One in 200 people in Belfast is an illegal migrant.
Who could possibly have foreseen civil unrest?
It’s the immigration, stupid.

There's a girl from Belfast who, along with her friend, is offering assistance to minority residents who are afraid to leave their homes to go to the shops or work because of the riots.
Bless them.

The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850.
It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

Meet Oliver James MacCormack.
71 years old. Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
40 counts. Human trafficking. Sexual exploitation.
9 vulnerable women. Groomed with heroin.
Sentenced to 7 years.
Not a migrant. Not a refugee. Northern Irish.
Where was the outrage.
The mob.
The murals.
It's not refugees.

Far right racist scum were outnumbered by anti-fascists in towns & cities all over the UK today💪
From Belfast to Brighton, in Newcastle, in Sheffield, in Glasgow🥰
We do outnumber them, everywhere.
Yet Reform, Tories & Labour all compete for the anti-migrant & racist vote🤷♀️

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

JD Vance:
If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
In World War II, both Japan and Germany surrendered unconditionally, meaning there was no negotiation.

Who can doubt that a Farage-led government would put even the corruption of the Tories under Boris Johnson into the shade?

Farage’s Reform UK & newcomer Restore Britain have gone to war…not just over Makerfield by-election but claims of a ‘quid pro quo’ by Farage & Johnson bankrolled by Harborne.

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.
Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

The same man who cut children's cancer research and dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth is now a trillionaire.
Elon Musk’s dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine combined.
Silent massacres.

The guy who (almost) single-handedly bankrolls the entire Reform/Farage project is this guy here, Christopher Harborne, 📸 at the Trump Coachella Rally 2024.
The Farage/Trump "special relationship" is not the only reason for aligned policies.
Follow the money.
