Two more activists were just declared not guilty of criminal damage for occupying, shutting down, and exposing another Israeli owned Elbit drone factory here in the UK.
British Fire Brigades Union stay winning. 
A much clearer shot of American pigs having the time of their lives just blindly pumping 'less lethal' shotgun shells into a mass of students in smoke and teargas at ultra short range, probably even students on the floor judging by the angle of some shots.
A couple of hours ago, UCLA students kettled the LAPD and pushed them out of their encampment.
Now the LAPD have resorted to firing dozens of flashbangs and 'less lethal' rounds at them after reinforcements tore down the perimeter fence - via People's City Council LA
Oh look, the only student the BBC television news actually interviewed in its segments on the campus protest attacks is an ADL funded provocateur who was working with the cops. 
Actions across the UK today are targetting weapons manufacturer (who sell to Israel) BAE systems and this morning blockaded and shut down the UK Dept. for Business & Trade over Israeli arms liscense. Happy May Day comrades! 
In other UK news, a professional body might revoke a doctor's license to practice medicine for getting arrested at a Just Stop Oil protest.
Pelosi went on CNN and called probably 70% or more of Democrat Party voters 'puppets of Putin' and said the FBI should investigate pro-Palestinian groups and their funding.
Top quality electioneering as always. 
A quote from Francis Boyle today (the US lawyer who represented Bosnia in their genocide case):
Francis Boyle states that with States (including US and UK govs) cutting off funding to UNRWA, it is "no longer the case of these States aiding and abetting Israeli Genocide against the Palestinians in violation of Genocide Convention article 3 (e) criminalizing 'complicity' in genocide. These States are now also directly violating Genocide Convention article 2(c) by themselves: 'Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part...'"
'Jews are predisposed to calling for genocide and it's part of our rich but often misunderstood quirky cultural heritage, but we can't actually do it, even when we are, because.... reasons' is one one hell of a take from a 'left' history professor and author:
As the author of ‘Jews and Words’, a book that celebrates the Jewish culture of debate and textuality, I must spell out something that the book didn’t mention, a negative aspect of our talkative legacy.
You may not like it, but here it is.
This morning’s proceedings in The Hague focus on genocidical talk in the Israeli public sphere. There are dozens of examples: ministers, Knesset members, influencers. Even the manipulative Netanyahu mentioned Amalek, the ancient people that the Bible singled out for eradication. Never mind that great rabbis have determined long ago that Amalek is obsolete, and the biblical verdict does not apply to any existing nation.
What stands on trial today is the ancient Jewish habit of speaking to each other as if no one else is listening. The Jewish habit of making extreme statements irresponsibly, unthoughtfully, without expecting any payback.
For so many centuries we have exercised a wild freedom of speech among ourselves, in our own languages, relying on our own argumentative balance mechanism: extremism and moderation may clash, and moderation usually triumphs. The House of Shammai is legitimate, but the House of Hillel, the moderates, usually wins. Israeli verbal culture inherited this freedom. But Israel is also a liberal democracy and member of the global community. Most of the loudmouths crying Genocide and Amalek are not aware of the profound dissonance, the huge damage, the justified outrage. Some don’t care.
Only a small minority wants actual genocide in Gaza and are morally crippled enough to carry it through: the extreme national-religious right. The fact that Netanyahu allowed these thugs into his government and echoes their discourse is an eternal blot on Jewish history.
Our disputative, wordy culture deserves to be celebrated, but it must denounce its dangerous outcrop of inciters to blind violence. Their Amalekite speech has become too viable to bear. Too doable.
No, Israel is not conducting genocide. But its ongoing rant about “flattening Gaza” is no longer a quaint side effect of our argumentative heritage.
It is a crime, a travesty and a harrowing blow to the best of Jewish traditions.
Later, from her responses:
This horrific, dirty, ugly war is not genocide. If that was our intention, Gaza would cease to exist on 8/10 and 500 of our soldiers would still be alive.
Ah yes, genocide has to be the instantaneous Thanos-like removal of a population just like it was in Germany during the... errrr.... 
Mad respect to Palestinian journalists who agree to go on Western consent-manufacturing news and then completely fucking refuse to play their game.
The ghouls have no answer, they just move on. But they're finding it increasingly hard to keep up the charade. The Israeli spokespeople they invite are increasingly rude and unhinged even to the media orgs running cover for them and they increasingly can't find anyone for 'balance' who'll even entertain their bullshit.
George Grosz was a fascinating and viceral painter, deeply scarred and influenced by his experience serving in the first world war, before he was discharged and left with psychiatric problems and a serious drinking problem. Many of his paintings from that period deal explictly with the horrors of war and the human cost juxtaposed against societal conflict.
His later work saw him fined by the German government and some of his collections ordered destroyed as they became more satrical and focused upon what he saw as the hypocracy of those that advocate for such violence - things like preachers vomiting grenades and Jesus being forced into conscription.
He also went to Russia in the 1920s, where he was initially detained as a spy, but released when proven not to be and even met Lenin. He lived in the US for most of his life after the '30s but eventually returned to Berlin, where he died falling down the stairs one night drunk.
I'm so so late to this but thanks to a comrade IRL this is now my new go to noisecore / hardcore noise. So sonically varied and badass. If you like it from a youtube link you can buy it and support them here.
We love our trans comrades and we love when they're NOISEY AS FUCK. 
This is Thanet Parkway.
No ticket office, no information point, no staff, about as wide as a balance beam and less vibrant than a self-storage complex. It was supposed to cost £11m but somehow ended up spiralling to over £35m.
Southeastern Railways is on Twitter trying to answer or deflect angry questions, predominantly from disabled people, explaining the ever more complicated and absurd ways disabled people can 'request' assistance in using the station.
It's important to note that most of their answers rely on just saying that the trains on that line have conductors on the trains themselves who can help, at a time when both the government and the rail companies are pushing for DOO trains (Driver Operater Only i.e. no train staff apart from the driver who is not allowed to leave their cabin).
They've also been asked numerous times for the dimensions of the platform so that disabled users can check if there is enough space for their wheelchairs / mobility scooters. This is the only question they have repeatedly ignored.
It also appears that the station, which many local politicians have argued was not required, may have been promised as part of a deal with a housing developer to increase the value of the development they were building. Which is a whole other can of worms.
(I hope this is the right comm, sorry if not)
It's not the first time this has happened, but I was making kind of an effort post in reply to a news commenter's question but the Hexbear logo just spins infinitely when I hit reply.
Have I hit some sort of character limit or included too many links or something? Or is it nothing to do with the actual post?
I'm old and not very tech savvy 
Edit: Split it up and reposted this morning. Seemed to be a character limit.
Sam Altman (OpenAI), Marc Andreessen (Meta), and Peter Thiel (Palantir) are about to bankrupt the entire country of Honduras.
The entire thread unrolled is worth a read, as is this article about the local resistance to it but the basics are this...
As an additional remember when here's coverage of leading environmental activist Berta Cáceres speaking out about Hilary Clinton's coup backing before she was assassinated.
