🧵 1/4: Today was the largest UK #Palestine Solidary Campaign #demonstration I have attended since October 23. It marked 77 years since the #Nakba. I estimated 380/400k, organisers half a million and the police... 20k, the most egrarious figure I've ever heard. That would mean previous rainy demos were around 5k, which is violently deranged. There's ZERO #media coverage bar ONE Independent article quoting 20k. This blanket silence is deafening.

Want to unmask (sometimes), but scared of losing your job or the people you depend on?
Learn how to deal with the anxiety so you can actually do that...without defaulting to people pleasing, writing that off as a fantasy that's only available to other people, losing relationships you want to keep, or shutting/melting down.
We start Friday.

Die Kiev 60 mit den essentiellen Objektiven hatte ich schon im Rucksack, aber es war noch Platz. Was nimmt man da mit: die DSLR, falls man sie doch braucht, oder lieber das große Tele für die Kiev, also das alte Meyer Görlitz 300mm mit schmutzigen Linsen und Fungus?
Ich habe mich für letzteres entschieden. Und ich glaube, das war die richtige Entscheidung. Vermutlich hätte mir eine technisch perfekte digitale Version dieses Bildes längst nicht so gut gefallen wie das hier.
Zu sehen ist übrigens das idyllische Istein am südlichen Oberrhein.

Found in Naomi Klein's Doppelganger. The one lesson I wish the modern left would internalize more than anything.
Use shared language.
Don't use lefty jargon when the person you're talking to doesn't subscribe to these ideas. No white privilege, no colonial oppression, no intersectionality. Translate to a shared language, built on reasonable, common assumptions and do the work required to bring people on board.
Because you can be damned sure the MAGA crowd are doing the work.

The image features a red heart with a white outline, symbolizing love or health. In the center of the heart, there is a white cross, which is commonly associated with medical care or humanitarian aid. The heart is set against a white background, making the red color of the heart and the white cross stand out prominently. The edges of the heart and cross have a slight blur effect, giving the image a soft appearance. The overall design is simple and clear, with the heart and cross being the main focal points.

New York University is penalizing student commencement speaker Logan Rozos for condemning Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by withholding his diploma while the school pursues “disciplinary actions.”
NYU appears to be adopting the tack of many universities in trying to shut down any protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.

The image shows a scene on a white countertop. On the left, there is a glass filled with a red beverage, likely a craft beer, placed on a black coaster with the text "SPOUR UN" and a logo. The glass is a goblet-style glass, commonly used for serving craft beers. On the right, there is an e-reader displaying the cover of a book titled "Welcome to Paradise" by Ryk Brown, part of the Prodigies Saga series, specifically Episode 14. The e-reader is a Kobo device, identifiable by its logo at the bottom. In the background, there is a blue plastic tray with several empty glasses, suggesting a bar or pub setting. The overall scene suggests a relaxed environment, possibly at a brewery or a bar where one can enjoy a drink while reading.

Il testo descrive una situazione politica in cui un'iniziativa si è posta in contrapposizione alla mozione presentata da Giuseppe Conte il giorno precedente. Questa mozione era stata aderita anche dalla segretaria Elly Schlein. L'intervento di Fassino ha rivela la cifra culturale dell'evento, definendola "un sionista di sinistra" e affermando che la soluzione dei due Stati è "al momento impraticabile". Inoltre, ha giustificato le vittime civili palestinesi come "conseguenze fatali" della collocazione delle strutture di Hamas in aree densamente popolate.

L'immagine mostra un articolo di giornale con il titolo "Fassino? Ad ammazzarlo non si fa peccato. La folle frase di un consigliere Pd a Cagliari". L'articolo è scritto da Oscar Serra e data il 16 Maggio 2025, aggiornato alle 20:09, con una durata di lettura di 2 minuti. Il testo descrive un post su Facebook di un consigliere del Partito Democratico (Pd) a Cagliari, che ha suscitato reazioni forti. Il consigliere ha rivendicato il suo rispetto incondizionato per la vita umana, a prescindere dalla nazionalità, dal credo o dal ruolo politico. L'articolo menziona che il post ha fatto il giro delle chat in poche ore, ma il consigliere ha poi chiesto scusa. L'immagine accanto al testo mostra un uomo in giacca e cravatta, che sembra essere il consigliere in questione, mentre parla con le mani in movimento. Sullo sfondo si intravede un banner con le parole "LOPA DON".

The image shows a room with a bicycle prominently positioned in the center. The bicycle is blue with black accents and has a black seat. Sitting on the seat is a cat wearing a red shirt. The cat has a fluffy coat with a mix of gray and brown stripes. The room has white wardrobes with silver handles, and various items are visible, including a helmet on the left, a stroller, and a shelf with records on the right. The floor is cluttered with items, including a black bag and a white object hanging from the bicycle. The overall scene is a mix of personal belongings and a cat comfortably perched on the bicycle seat.

I've been writing short spoiler-free reviews of the current seasons of Doctor Who each (for me) Sunday morning, having watched the show Saturday (evening). Last week, I had a bit of blank on the title of the episode: was it the Story Engine...no...not quite. Rather than tie myself in knots I just googled it. "doctor who recent episode". Google came back with an answer: Castrovalva: Part One, Doctor Who Season 117, episode 1. It had a little…

More than ALL conflicts together since 2022. Let that sink in: 15,000 to 18,500 children killed.
