I am thrilled that Egyptian political prisoner Alaa Abd El Fattah has been released! I have been following his case for years. His mother is in Britain and was on a hunger strike until recently. What a joyful event. I wonder if he will go to Britain and I hope he is ok. He has been suffering for years.

What with geopolitical events being as they are, in constant flux and with rapid conflict escallation, it occurs to me that it may be in the interest of the Sisi government to release many political prisoners who are being held- they will be able to help their country as free men and women.

Stop supporting land theft - Say “No!” to Airbnb

Multi-jurisdiction legal actions against Airbnb listings in illegal Israeli Settlements

The knowing handling of proceeds of crime is called money laundering and is a serious criminal offence in most countries.

The acts of land appropriation and transfer of civilian population onto occupied territory that facilitate the Israeli settlements are defined as war crimes under international law and related UK and Irish legislation.  

It is an offence under UK and Irish anti-money laundering legislation to handle money or other property derived from war crimes.  You can support these efforts for legal redress here.

Put a stop to GHF

There’s a campaign to have the Delaware Attorney General, Kathy Jennings, dissolve the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) which is incorporated in Delaware. The group DELPHR has launched an effort to put pressure on the Deleware Attorney general, with a letter-writing effort. You can do your part and sign on here:

national letter-writing tool which was created by the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Trump: "organized Left"? Would that it were so. It's the Right that is organized, at the top of US gov. As a general rule, Trump is a Projector. His own ills or evils (stuff he knows best) he'd rather attribute to his opposition. (And sadly, bullshitters momentarily believe their own lies.)

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?
