Here’s the thing: we do not concede *one inch* to the far right. Ever. Anywhere. They are not just another political player. They are a threat to everything our ancestors fought and died to protect. They are not to be appeased. They are to be stopped. Rip down the flags wherever you see them. 3/3

Starmer has lost 44% of the Labour vote since the election, largely to the left, and is likely to lose more to Your Party.

There is so little enthusiasm for Starmer, who is one of the least popular leaders in the world (-47 points) that Labour voters are also likely to just stay home.

This is not the fault of voters or the left. This is entirely the fault of the Labour right, their neoliberalism, austerity, authoritarianism, trans-hate and weakness over Israel.

The Israeli military has issued an evacuation order covering the entirety of Gaza City for the first time during the current round of fighting, ahead of a planned offensive to take over and occupy the city.
…
On Tuesday, six more Palestinians died from hunger, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death in Gaza to 399.

“I say to the residents of Gaza, take this opportunity and listen to me carefully: you have been warned – get out of there!” the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said.
…
Despite the campaign to displace the city’s residents, only a small proportion – about 50,000 people – of its 1 million residents have left.
…
The UN has said that it can cost more than $1,000 to move to southern Gaza, an unimaginable price tag for most of Gaza’s residents. Southern Gaza is already packed with people who have already been displaced several times before.”

🚨URGENT

This is the message I got from Nadeen this morning.

They need ~$1,000 to be able to move.

Israel has ordered the full evacuation of Gaza before they continue slaughtering people. Nadeen and her family of six need your help to escape being murdered in the coming hours.

Please help Nadeen and her family who are running out of time to evacuate before Israel starts slaughtering anyone who is left behind.

Please donate if you can or share this so it might reach someone who can.

They desperately need to secure a place they can move to and the money to actually move. https://mastodon.social/@Dr%5FNadeen98/115176549823661141

Hey folks. I migrated over here from bluesky to support @joynewacc .

I’m a 30-something writer in the US, supporting Palestinian students like Joy through the Scholarships for Ghazza Initiative led by genocide survivor Ahmed Issa.

I generally don’t post a lot on social media apart from amplifying Palestinian stories. I’m here to answer questions if anyone wants to pitch in with mentoring students or help Joy in particular. I made this flyer to help folks think about how they might plug in.

The loudest #GravitationalWave in #GWTC4 is #GW230814

Detected with only Livingston, it was still about twice as loud as GW150914!

Being loud should enable precision tests of general relativity, but with only one detector, you need to be careful with the analysis

Found a quaint knitting store in downtown Bellevue. It's impeccably designed in a way that just makes you want to stay there forever :-)

It was quite a happy coincidence, as my daughter actually needed some yarn, and having realized there were no Michaels stores nearby, my wife suddenly stumbled on this one, which was a 2 minutes walk away. So glad we didn't go to any dreary Michaels!

just like to point out that ouija boards are cheap, have very little environmental impact, predate chatgpt by over 100 years, and are just as capable at telling you what you'd like to hear

they may be harder to use at first but with a little dedication most people should have no trouble getting the results they want
