"False allegations, heavy-handed investigations and legal action under draconian laws look like being the bludgeon of choice for governments to attack political and other dissidents, including journalists and activists."

Protests have erupted in Israel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired the country's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Netanyahu said a "crisis of trust" between the two leaders led to his decision... #Israel #gaza #war #middleeast #benjaminnetanyahu #MiddleEastCrisis #middleeastwar #politics #geopolitics #middleeastwar

As David Edgerton concludes:

'Labour’s basic growth policy is much the same as the Tory policy of the last 40 years: liberalise, encourage foreign investment, support innovation, invest in some infrastructure & now make Brexit work'... so if you were looking for some new ideas about how to 'transform' the UK political economy you'd need to look elsewhere.

A different (more equal, greener) future is clearly visible, but Labour is unable to see it!

Well at least we have a pretty solid answer to the question "how on earth does Nazi Germany happen?"

It's the people, man. They're the worst.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing a "crisis of trust," and replaced him with close ally Israel Katz to lead the country's war in Gaza and Lebanon. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/06/world/politics/netanyahu-defense-yoav-gallant/ #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #iran #lebanon #hezbollah #yoavgallant

“These kinds of activities breach public trust in the nonprofit sector at large. Public charities (501(c)(3)s) … were designed to be used as tools to promote the public good, but are now frequently being used as weapons in battles for political gain.” https://www.texasobserver.org/nate-schatzline-nonprofit-partisan-politics/

In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

“There are really serious implications for LGBTQ communities in states where we’re seeing more severe restrictions from the legislative side. It also emboldens folks to go out and harass LGBTQ people, trans and gender non-conforming people within their own communities.”

In my latest for Austin Free Press, I took #GLAAD data on hate incidents and looked at how bigotry has manifested in Central #Texas. Incidents have included assault, protests, and even a murder. https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/

Warning: Grumbling about Media

For what seems like a year (may be not but it feels that long!!), it's been an endless barrage of headlines like
" How this US Election Could Affect Canada".

What a waste of time and energy!
It's not like the outcome will change each day, it is the same candidates, they are not switching candidates for crying out loud!

One is a dictator in waiting wearing a mantle of dark threats and promising violence, and the other offers Americans the brilliant light of democracy.!!

It really doesn't take a lot of mind power to figure out "What it means for Canada!"

Occupied Palestine: Al-Mayadeen correspondent in #Gaza: #Israeli occupation forces blow up residential neighborhoods in Jabalia camp, north of the #Gaza Strip


They told us that they will make Gaza unhabitable, and we were silenced when we warned about their intentions last year.

Now they are doing it, again, and again and again and no one seems to care about their repeated crimes against humanity.

Results of US election are in already.


No need to vote or count the votes.

Just pick one of the servants of Netanyahu and his fascist gang.

Interestingly Oliver Heath & Laura Serra conclude that:

'While it is certainly true that class divisions are not as evident as they once were in terms of structuring vote choice, this is because class has been pushed outside the political system. Whereas previously the middle class & working class were divided on who to vote for, now they are divided on whether to bother voting at all'!

Is democracy now becoming more a middle-class activity?

Despite the change in Govt. for the disabled austerity continues remorselessly...

as Frances Ryan details once again its the disabled who will be bearing the brunt of a Govt's 'difficult decisions';

f we judge a society by how it treats it vulnerable & disadvantaged (which is how we should judge a country!), then the UK stands accused of a callous inhumanity towards those type able ignore or discount.... we should and can do much better

There is something rather optimistic about this work/installation - Passage, 2007 by Cornelia Konrads - it suggests (to me) there is always a passage to another (better/brighter) part of the forest - we just need to find it.

Swing-State Voters Disillusioned With #KamalaHarris Can Swap for Two Non-Swing-State Votes

Organizers are facilitating protest votes for people in swing states to register their dissent — without handing a victory to #DonaldTrump.

November 4 2024, 1:56 p.m.

[I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for #JillStein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for #Harris. I feel much better now. :-)]

As Millions Starve in #Gaza, #Israel Terminates Agreement With #UNRWA

"Restricting humanitarian access and at the same time dismantling UNRWA will add an additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering," said the U.N. agency's commissioner-general.

Fuck Israel and everyone who still support it


They don't even bother hiding their crimes. Media and politicians covering up for them and have given criminal Netanyahu carte blanche to do what ever he wants with civilians in Gaza.
