This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

burada yeterli trafiği yakalayamamayı buna bağlı olarak da ego tatminini sağlayamayarak motive olamamayı bir yere kadar anlarım. ama burayı boşlamadan da bu ikisini yapabilme iradeni neden kullanmıyorsun? bu kısmı anlayamıyorum.
Bluesky'da geçtiğimiz hafta yaşanan yeni kullanıcı sayılarındaki artış yeniden önceki haftanın seviyesine dönmüş. En kritik zamanda yüzlerce hesabı engelleyerek bizi adeta sırtımızdan hançerleyen X'i boykot etmek için daha ne olması gerekiyor bilmiyorum.
