With so called center lefts like Keir Starmer in the UK doing an Enoch Powell on migrants, and Newsom outlawing homeless - the GOP can happily stay fascist and watch the opposition come to them
Where's the empathy, where's the fight?

"The World’s Silence Is Deadly’: Greta Thunberg’s Message Aboard Freedom Flotilla
"June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza & try to break the siege & open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food & medical supplies."
"A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters."

Report: Israel's Navy is planning to intercept the Madleen tonight - as far from the coast of Gaza as possible.
The vessel will be boarded by commandos if it does not turn around & will be taken to Ashdod port.
Madleen’s crew has said they remain resolute in breaking the Israeli blockade.
Report: "Israel plans to prevent Madleen aid ship from approaching Gaza coast"
The ship, part of Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is carrying urgently needed supplies for Gaza
Israel is considering:
1. preventing the ship from approaching Gaza & leaving it adrift at sea, or
2. having it escorted to Ashdod port & arresting the activists there.

Analysis: The absolute silence from the Madleen crew members’ governments is beyond words, "reflects Israeli impunity."
"If any other state had sent its military forces to seize a small civilian boat carrying 12 unarmed civilians ... it would immediately be recognised for the act of state piracy that it indisputably is."
"But for Israel, there’s always an exception.”

The proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group starts tomorrow.
This is a dangerous escalation in the criminalisation of political dissent in the UK.
It’ll increase surveillance, particularly under the Prevent Duty, and censorship under the Online Safety Act.

Bluesky will be age-gating content for UK users. It’s your privacy that pays.
The UK Online Safety Act has unleashed an unregulated market in age verification.
That we have to do these intrusive checks with countless providers for different platforms is dangerous.

Report: Danish shipping giant Maersk will divest from companies linked to Israel’s illegal settlements after a sustained pressure campaign by activists.
"Compliance with international law and basic human rights is not optional. Doing business with Israel’s illegal settlements is no longer viable.”
#Palestinian Youth Movement
The group is now calling for Maersk to stop transporting F-35 fighter jet parts.

The bigots are screaming that a few thousand Afghans have been let into this country.
Afghans that made the mistake of helping out the British and now the ungrateful British Peasant would rather they died in Afghanistan than 'pollute' their precious culture of Fish and Chips and lying to children about our history

‘Retired teacher Jon Farley, 67, was detained during a silent protest in Leeds for holding a placard featuring a cartoon from the satirical magazine that joked about the government’s recent proscription of the group Palestine Action.’
So retired, non-violent man appears in public with a published cartoon and is arrested for terrorism…
???
It was only a matter of time before this happened.
This government is falling apart and it's all it's own fault for standing for nothing more than the Rich.
Did Labour really think all these MPs they kicked out or silenced would just sit around and take it without doing something themselves?

Age verification is creating an information desert.
The Online Safety Act sets every UK user to child as default.
Teenagers? Blocked. Adults? Content denied unless we do age checks with unregulated companies.
It's not just porn! News on Gaza and Ukraine is being scrubbed from view, threatening #freedomofexpression as well as #privacy ⛔

"#Labour’s #Homelessness Minister, Rushanara Ali MP, evicted four tenants from one of her #London properties before relisting it for £700 a month more in rent. The tenants were given four months to leave, with the MP saying she intended to sell the property, before it was relisted with the rent increasing from £3300 to £4000. "
