We have lost a WW2 legend: the wonderful Comet Line courier Andrée Dumon. She was 102. She survived Ravensbrück & Mauthausen. She was funny, kind and exceptionally brave. In 2012 she told me about the moment she was arrested by the Gestapo:

It’s an absolute disgrace that Netanyahu still won’t let international media into Gaza. What are you hiding, Prime Minister @netanyahu ? What don’t you want us all to see?

Just seen this posted on Threads. Incredibly powerful political cartoon. Can’t make out cartoonist’s name. Can anyone help?

When you feel depressed that the only thing you feel can you do about the world’s ills is tweet and retweet, remember those who can do something are doing nothing - or worse.

🇵🇸 100 aid groups warned on Wednesday of “mass starvation” spreading in #Gaza. 🇮🇱 #Israel faces growing global pressure over the enclave's dire humanitarian crisis, where over 2 million people have endured 21 months of war.

Here is a plan of Tenby Harbour by Lewis Morris, 1748. This was published in Plans of Harbours, Bars, Bays and Roads in St George’s Channel which he commenced after the Board of Admiralty ordered a survey of the coast in 1737. #MapMonday

The documentary about Medics in Gaza that the BBC shelved will be shown on Channel 4 tonight (2nd July) at 10pm.

At this stage the terrifying lesson from Nazi Germany is that what the opposition thinks barely matters, the more extreme measures - birthright citizenship, 'alligator Alcatraz', ICE arrests w/o due process - are supported not in spite of their ruthlessness but BECAUSE of it.

Anti-Nazis were often accused of being "Communists" in Nazi courts. Some were; many were not. They used it as a smear against Hans Scholl, who led the White Rose movement with his sister, Sophie. "I am not a Communist; I am a German," he said.

Cricket story: EW Swanton once went to the engagement party of a colleague (at the Daily Telegraph). As he was leaving he handed his colleague a gift. “I thought you’d like this,” he said. It was a signed photo of EW Swanton!

“Gee, I wish we had one of those Doomsday Machines.”

Bet he shelled out for that coverage...

Just met this fella. “Can you get me on social media?”

Morning walk.

“Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.”

Incredibly courageous medical staff in this report from @AlexCrawfordSky. So many tragic stories.

Wonderful to see this tribute to RAF airman John Martin on his 103rd birthday. A flypast over his house! John made a remarkable escape from a burning Lancaster over Berlin. He is an absolute gent. Happy Birthday, John! @aledscourfield @RoyalAirForce bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Really enjoyed Churchill’s Bust by David Morley on @bbcradio4 - witty, insightful, and a stark depiction of the new McCarthyism at the heart of Trump’s America. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Despite racial bias and a confession from his co-defendant, Oklahoma executed John Hanson. This cruel, irreversible act highlights some of the deep flaws in the death penalty system. We oppose the death penalty in all cases and under any circumstance.
