Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza.
The genocide never ended — and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.

BBC radio thinks a photo of Prince Andrew with an unknown woman is more newsworthy than revelations of tens of thousands of pounds from Epstein to the then deputy prime minister’s partner, seriously?

The BBC is getting played here: if a contributor gets to flat out deny having his own words quoted to him on television (with the viewer not told the denial is untrue) then post about "dropping truth bombs". The mission to inform & counter misinformation is flailing if the editorial controls so weak
Konstantin Kisin has since posted on his own Youtube channel saying he 'dropped truth bombs on Question Time'.
Clearly 'alternative truth' bombs.
The video has had over 400k views and counting.

It’s definitely time to sing protest songs.
Anyone notice the guitars are out? Springsteen is the big one. We've also seen Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) playing "Killing in the Name." But there's also Arkansas folk musician Jesse Welles and his song "Join ICE" and Joseph Terrell's "Genuine American Hero."
