Boycotting a football match is about as low-effort an act of resistance as you could imagine when opposing an ongoing genocide.

That said, at least you can have conversations like this on national television in Ireland and have viewpoints like this aired.

An experimental GLP-1 drug pushes the limits of weight loss.
There are risks.
Eli Lilly this month unveiled startling new data that showed an experimental weight-loss drug caused people with obesity to shed, on average, 28 percent of their body weight

Interesting to see that in Maine, several thousand signatures to qualify an anti-trans ballot measure are getting thrown out because the circulators gathered signatures illegally.
It is really common for corporate and billionaire funded measures here in SF to be qualified through paid canvassers who lie about what the measure does or illegally offer payment to sign. Not aware of anyone attempting enforcement though.

It blows my mind how ignorant (gullible? privileged?) people in the West can be.
How can you believe the genocide is over and everything’s just great now in Gaza?

RE: #Gaza

Just like Hitler didn’t carry out the Holocaust on his own, neither is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza being carried out by Itamar Ben-Gvir and Netanyahu alone.
This is a nation state commiting a live-streamed genocide supported by the taxes of people in the US, the UK, and Europe (especially Germany).
We are all complicit and we will have to live with the collective shame for generations if we fail to stop it.
Stop the genocide!
Stop Israel!
Free Palestine!…
