Jesus motherfucking christ.
First news story I've seen today and I'm tempted to switch everything off and go back to bed.

Calgary Opera removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from the remaining performances of Tosca after he displayed a Palestinian flag on stage.
A vast network of concentration camps was set up by the colonial government in the immediate aftermath of the declaration. It is thought that as many as 450,000 people were subjected to forced labour. Large numbers were tortured to death.
In the 18 months after the declaration of the emergency, more than 6 million bombs were dropped on Kenya.
Around 300,000 Kenyans were murdered in 14 years.
On 20th October 1952, the British colonial government declared a "state of emergency" in Kenya, in response to a concerted campaign by anti-imperialist fighters known as the Mau Mau.
This was a response to decades of British colonialism and land grabbing policies pursued by British settlers. The Kikuyu were displaced from their ancestral lands and forced to work as low-paid labourers on European farms, leading to widespread poverty and social unrest.

"Andy Burnham needs to explain to communities their bins won't be collected, social services will collapse, libraries will be closed, because he's more worried about defending the genocide he's arming than working with Green councillors."

Activists disrupted a speech by Pete Hegseth at the Army Expo in DC yesterday, calling for an end to arms sales to Israel and the war on Iran.
"Outside the cold sharpened and the moonlight was reflected in all the green and red panes.
'Tell me about the snow,' Moomintroll said and seated himself in Moominpappa's sun-bleached garden chair. 'I don't understand it.'
'I don't either,' said Too-ticky. 'You believe it's cold, but if you build a snowhouse it's warm. You think it's white, but at times it looks pink, and another time it's blue. It can be soft, and then again harder than stone. Nothing is certain.'"
"Moomintroll pricked his ears and listened long. Then he lit the night-light and padded along to the chest of drawers to read Snufkin's spring letter. It began with the word 'Cheerio' in his big round hand. The letter itself was short:
CHEERIO
Sleep well and keep your pecker up. First warm spring day you'll have me here again. Don't start the dam building without me.
Snufkin
Moomintroll read the letter several times, and suddenly he felt hungry."
