No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of Trump's criminality, his fascist policies, his support of Israel's genocide, his links with sex trafficking and his views that domestic violence isn't a crime, what were the standout looks of the state visit, BBC News?

Our pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine

Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal

Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡

Free Palestine!
Free the 6 counties!

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes,you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action,seen by two people only

There's no public apology. They don't send this to media or post it on police accounts

We will continue to fight.

We will continue to win.
One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment. This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation. After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win. Email from Avon and Somerset Police to Kneecap legal team: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Regards, Detective Superintendent [Name redacted]"

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

Am absolutely not defending their call for violence. But Bob Vylan was speaking in a field in Somerset - and every day the IDF actually murders innocent Palestinians. Only one of those actions is a proper target for real outrage.

Hats off to Mr Andy Twelves.

Art isn’t some sideshow to be tolerated when it’s safe and censored when it is not. That’s the whole point. Art is a mirror. A weapon. A reckoning. Too many in the British establishment don’t want a reckoning. They want obedience. They don’t mind political speech – so long as it’s theirs. They don’t mind outrage – so long as it’s directed at the powerless. They don’t mind protests – as long as it’s their side making the noise. What Mo Chara is alleged to have done is not dangerous. Nobody at a concert in London is going to go and sign up for Hezbollah. His treatment reeks of an attitude that tells every young artist, every working-class kid with something to say, to shut up. Just sing the hits. Smile. And the charging of Mo Chara won’t shut him up, or what he stands for. That voice is too loud, too real, and too deep-rooted to kill off.

In France in the late 1970s, Toyota mailed out promotional envelopes that folded into a hand-held vinyl record player.
The envelope contained a record, a needle was placed on it, and when the record was turned, you could hear an audio recording about the Toyota Corolla.

Massive Attack 👏👏👏👏
KNEECAP ARE NOT THE STORY If senior politicians can find neither the time, nor the words to condemn, say, the murder of fifteen voluntary aid workers in Gaza, or the illegal starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare, or the killing of thousands & thousands of children in the same territory, by a state in possession of the highest precision weapons on earth; how much notice should a music festival take of their moral advice on booking performing acts? As a band that has spoken publicly for more than 30 years about the illegal occupation, apartheid system and killing with impunity of thousands of Palestinians, we are hyper aware of the both the human cost of abject political silence, and the commercial implications of publicly expressing solidarity with an oppressed people. Language matters of course. The hideous murders of elected politicians Jo Cox and David Amess means there’s no scope for flippancy or recklessness. But do politicians and right-wing journalists strategically concocting moral outrage over the stage utterings of a young punk band, while simultaneously obfuscating or even ignoring a genocide happening in real time (including the killing of journalists in unprecedented numbers) have any right to intimidate festival events into acts of political censorship? Kneecap are not the story. Gaza is the story. Genocide is the story. And the silence, acquiescence and support of those crimes against humanity by the elected British government is the real story. Solidarity with all artists with the moral courage to speak out against Israeli war crimes, and the ongoing persecution and slaughter of the Palestinian people. Massive Attack.

Zelenskyy and Trump sit on red chairs in an ornate room, engaging in a serious conversation, with a speech bubble above one. "Why can't you wear a black suit? Do you own a black suit?"
