Fascists humiliated by gargantuan numbers in Belfast. They ran away in Dundalk, and now Belfast. No-one is fooled by the scapegoating of refugees. We need to keep this energy up all across the island #BellaCiao

The horror. More than 100 people at a school shelter in Gaza massacred. The images are a permanent stain on all who have enabled the atrocities to continue unabated. Arms embargo now and the ICC must release arrest warrants. Words without action is a grotesque admission of guilt.

NEW: @cnn confirms a US-made GBU-39 small diameter bomb was used in an Israeli strike on a school and mosque compound in Gaza which killed at least 93 Palestinians according to local officials (h/t) to @easybakeovensz for helping identify the weapon

One of the most serious, grown up pieces about Scottish Independence from an Independence supporter that I’ve ever read. A must read from Jonathon Shafi 👇
