Sinn Féin in the EU parliment today voted against the banning of nudification apps. Which they are going to have a tough time explaining tbh.
Almost the entire Left Group (incl' 3 Irish MEPs) just voted against - ban on AI nudification apps - ban on AI systems that generate child sexual abuse material & other forms of child sexual exploitation content These EU-wide bans aim to strengthen protection for women & children

Not even 24 hours since the ceasefire deal was signed. And Ben-Gvir is already demanding: 'We must continue destroying houses in southern Lebanon. Continue pushing residents away. Continue eliminating Hezbollah'

"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed" Labour peer Peter Hain in the Lords in July last year

Since Trump took office last year, inflation is up, wages are flat, gas is over $4—and he’s billions richer.     Incompetence and corruption on a scale we’ve never seen.

While proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, the UK government has repeatedly granted special immunity to visiting Israeli military officers, protecting them from prosecution for genocide and war crimes. declassifieduk.org/israeli-a…

When a ref’s standing waiting for a TV producer to tell him when he's allowed to restart a game, you've stopped running a football tournament & started running an ad break with football in between. Sad thing is, the Premier League is watching & learning🤦‍♂️

A pregnant Muslim woman was kicked in the stomach in a Co-op car park in Milton Keynes. He called her the “f***ing problem with this place,” attacked her “clown clothes”. Hit her with a wine bottle and bag of ice. Kicked her in the stomach twice after she told him she was pregnant She lost her unborn twins. The judge called her attacker a “shabby racist.” A ‘SHABBY’ racist. Not a TERRORIST. Not a MONSTER. He served under 2 years. He’s been walking free since 2020. Samsam Haji-Ali’s twins are still dead. If he’d been Muslim, this would have led every news bulletin as a terror attack. Thirty worshippers were inside the Zainabia Islamic Centre when a petrol bomb was thrown onto the roof. They put out the fire themselves. These attacks didn’t all happen this week. They happened years apart. That’s the point. People forgot. Our system doesn’t. The Women and Equalities Committee’s first-ever inquiry into gendered Islamophobia, published January 2026 (HC 571), documented over 6,000 verified incidents in 2024 — a 165% rise since 2022. 73% of assaults came after the summer riots. 65% targeted women and girls. The Muslim Women’s Network UK surveyed women before and after the riots. Before — 16% feared for their safety. After — 75%. Home Office figures show anti-Muslim hate crimes rose 19% last year. Muslims are the target of 44% of all religious hate crimes. Only 6% result in charges. The government’s Hate Crime Action Plan expired in 2020. No replacement has been published in six years. They let 3 women dressed in burqas strip off to the chants of “take it off” They let hate marches happen across the UK. Anti Islam murals across Northern Ireland. They proscribed Palestine Action as terrorists. And they still refuse to use the word Islamophobia. The system is broken. Every attack in this post is being mapped. Mosques, streets, workplaces. No stone unturned. Report an incident: islamophobiauk.co.uk Subscribe: lnkd.in/d2frXvig Support us: ko-fi.com/islamophobiauk #Islamophobia #HateCrime #MuslimWomen #Mosque #UK

Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre. Europe, Princess of Tyre, gave her name to the continent of Europe, to those who, today, let Israel destroy her city, Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old—by European weapons without saying a word. What you see in this image are not merely ordinary columns; they are the historical columns of Tyre in southern Lebanon are iconic Roman architectural remains. They are part of an ancient Phoenician city-state that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. I could not identify any military targets that would justify striking a UNESCO World Heritage protected site. We are watching history beirg erased in real time by Israel.

They say “Israel tells residents to leave” because FORCED DISPLACEMENT is a war crime. This is how they launder it.

Declaraciones de Jurgen Klopp a ZDF, sobre la reanudación del juego retrasada por el árbitro, durante el cooling break del México-Sudáfrica para que terminaran los comerciales de algunas cadenas de TV: "Esto es el fútbol siendo tomado como rehén por ejecutivos en oficinas con aire acondicionado". "Estos supuestos 'descansos por el calor' nos los vendieron como un escudo para el bienestar de los jugadores, una noble espada contra el calor. ¿Pero en realidad? No es más que una jaula dorada construida para patrocinadores. Cuando vi a los jugadores parados durante un descanso por calor mientras los tiempos de televisión dictaban el ritmo del partido, no pude evitar preguntarme: ¿a quién está sirviendo realmente la Copa del Mundo? ¿A los aficionados?, ¿A los jugadores?, ¿O a los anunciantes?". "Un partido de la Copa del Mundo debería fluir como un río. En cambio, estamos construyendo presas en medio de él para que los comerciales puedan pasar. Eso es peligroso para el espíritu del juego. El fútbol alguna vez fue el evento principal, pero ahora corre el riesgo de convertirse en la música de fondo de un espectáculo publicitario. Nos dicen que estos descansos son por el bienestar de los jugadores, y por supuesto la salud de los jugadores importa. Pero cuando el juego empieza a doblar sus rodillas ante los tiempos de la televisión, la gente va a hacer preguntas. El balón se supone que es la estrella. No un descanso comercial". "La Copa del Mundo es la catedral del fútbol. Sin embargo, a veces da la sensación de que la hemos convertido en un centro comercial donde la caja registradora recibe más respeto que el propio partido. Si este es el futuro, entonces el fútbol ya no está siendo interrumpido por los anuncios. El fútbol se está convirtiendo en la interrupción entre los anuncios".
