Kereea Says Unionize

Sadiq Khan visits the Nova Exhibition in London

The London Mayor drew parallels between the music festival massacre and 2017’s Manchester Arena Bombing.

He said: "This is not about what religion you belong to, which God you worship, what your politics are, what your views are on any particular issues, it's about coming to see for yourself what happened on that day,” said Khan.

London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan visited the Nova Exhibition on Thursday, meeting with bereaved families of October 7 victims visiting the capital.

Khan toured the exhibition alongside relatives of those killed at the Nova Music Festival, one of the key epicentres of Hamas’ attack on Israel in 2023.

The delegation was also accompanied by Andrea Simon, the victims’ commissioner for London, part of the UK’s independent agency dedicated to the welfare of victims of atrocities and public scandals and their families.

During the visit, the mayor urged others to visit the exhibition, which tells the story of the infamous massacre.

As well as featuring personal items salvaged from the festival grounds, the exhibition also includes first-hand witness phone footage from the day and in-person testimonies from survivors, returned hostages, and bereaved families – who will be present at the exhibition every day.

"This is not about what religion you belong to, which God you worship, what your politics are, what your views are on any particular issues, it's about coming to see for yourself what happened on that day,” said Khan.

"But if you're lucky, you’ll get the chance to meet a survivor and that experience will touch you, I promise.

“What's quite clear is that these are people who went to that concert with nothing but love and joy, wanted a good time, and lost their lives. Others have survived. Their lives are never going to be the same again. And there are bereaved families whose lives will never be the same again."

"A number of things won't leave me,” he added, specifically mentioning “the trainers of the kids, one of them 18 years old, the clothes, mobile phones”.

“It just reminds you these are people, and it's always worth remembering that you may see a video film, you may read an article, but these are just human beings,” he went on. “But also what people are capable of doing is just horrific. And so what will stay with me is the hope and the optimism, but also the horror of what happened.”

The mayor also drew parallels with the Manchester Arena Bombing, saying: “One of the things I noticed, when you look at the photographs of those who lost their lives, you'll see the diversity of ages - from kids as young as 18, in their 20s and their 30s and their 40s, even in their 50s, whose common theme was their love of trance music, their love of rave.

"And they left home, leaving their loved ones behind expecting to see them the next day, never to return and the same happened with traumatic incidents all across the world whether it's the tragedy of the Ariana Grande concert where those mums and dads never saw their kids again, or the survivors who will be changed forever, it's just a reminder of the things we've got in common.

"There are too many people around the world trying to divide people, divide communities and music, fun, congregation are the things we all share.”

The Nova will be available to visit until Wednesday, July 15, at 30 Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3NZ. Tickets can be purchased at www.novaexhibition.com.

If she wins and holds her seat and Dems don't get the Senate as a resuly, he is NEVER majority leader again. Like, straight up. Several Dem Senators already want him out of leadership. There's indications even he is working on who to pass power to sooner because he's not running again in 2028 ANYWAY (Brian Schatz is the main name being floated, given like the House they're looking for a younger leadership). If the GOP holds the Senate, he is almost CERTAINLY deposed as minority leader and has less sway over who replaces him. If the Dems retake the Senate, he gets 2 years as majority leader before retiring in a position of strength OR steps down gracefully and is in a position to steer who succeeds him if he decides he'd like a quieter couple final of years like Pelosi did.

Collins winning is ABSOLUTELY the worst outcome FOR CHUCK SCHUMER.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.

It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.

An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.

But I also think a lot of these women need to ask themselves a simple question: why were you ok with them doing this to Israeli women? When Hasan Piker said that he “didn’t care” if women were raped on Oct 7th, when they called Israeli women who came forward about their assaults liars, when they mocked the suffering of the hostages and said that Hamas “treated them well”, when they said they deserved it, when they joked that they were “too ugly to be raped”, where was your outrage over that behavior then? Why were you silent when it was Israeli women, and why did you think it would stop there?

edit: you guys are losing comment privelege + ive had an abortion so go suck my fat cock

This is because so many of us are carriers for tay-sachs, aka the incurable neurodegenerative disease that kills before age four.

I would also point out that requiring someone to have an acceptable reason for their abortion means that you are requiring them to disclose the reason for their abortion, no matter how personal and painful it is.

I never watch football, once every four years I watch football. The only thing I know about football is when a game is boring.

This game did not bore me for a second. I was on the edge of my seat. I mean I went in thinking, 'oh, for sure Argentina is gonna win'. But man Egypt was insane, they played so well, their goalkeeper was so good.

This game was so rigged it makes no sense how obvious they made it. Like I've always thought that people were making up conspiracy theories cuz their favourite team lost, but this was so clearly biased.

I rarely watch games so I might be wrong, but I've been so angry since the match.

Weird, that's the excuse I hear when white people say racist shit around me and I refuse to let it fly.

Also "you know how some whites stayed in South Africa after apartheid? Why can't I hope the same for Israel?" 1) apartheid has an actual meaning and this isn't it, so jot that down 2) Black leadership in apartheid wanted equality. PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP WANTS ALL JEWS DEAD. Jot that down too.

And finally:

"I'm blocking as many of the Zionists as I can" so this isn't really about you "wanting equality" or whatever. This is that someone threatened your echo chamber and now you're scared, because it means you might have to confront your own bigotry. Got it.
