    &quot;SNP MP Lara Bird and Scottish Greens MSP Kate Nevens said they were prevented from entering the territory before being questioned and eventually turned away. Bird said in a social media post that they had intended to &quot;stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land&quot;. They had travelled to the region as part of a Progressive International delegation that also included Labour MP Clive Lewis and a former member of the Basque senate.&quot; https:...

    RE: https://mas.to/@therightarticle/117426602635821257 Jonathan Cook perfectly nails the journalists who routinely adopt wife-beater questions whenever they&#39;re confronted with someone who is challenging the Establishment&#39;s pro-Israel narrative.

    Sounds like Meta may be building a universal face database. Why do I think this? Well, because a Meta spokesperson has told WIRED, &quot;One decision we can be clear about—we are not building a universal face database.” https://www.wired.com/story/i-felt-super-violated-men-wearing-meta-glasses-on-dates-is-an-instant-red-flag/

Reform UK snowflake Zia Yusuf reporting Polanski to police: &quot;this is incitement to murder&quot;. &quot;One of the images showed a man wearing a T-shirt which said: &quot;We&#39;re only making plans for Nigel&quot; alongside a guillotine.

    RE: https://social.openrightsgroup.org/@openrightsgroup/116403024808284896 The USA now considers it a national security issue if foreign countries DON&amp;#39;T permit free cross-border data transfers and don&amp;#39;t make use of US cloud services for sensitive information.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116395691130021471 Once again we see pensioners protesting issues that the working population can&amp;#39;t afford to protest for fear of losing their livelihoods. What would be a good word to describe a country where this happens?

    @Geri There&#39;ll still be thousands of briefcase sensiballs claiming that voting Green rather than Labour will put RefUK in govt. I&#39;m not sure that they&#39;d even back down if the Greens won the next election. This is their hill.
