The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

It took decades of research by historians and journalists — and reports by state and federal commissions — to uncover the violence that claimed more than 300 Black lives.

Migrants heavily contribute to the UK.

Those who don't yet - want to - but are prohibited from working while they await status.

Other countries grant asylum seekers the right to work immediately.

Our Gov CHOOSES to prevent people from working... AND labels them burdensome for not working.

These days, Europe's leading education system is - according to PISA - found in Estonia.

But how did the tiny Baltic nation become a schooling superpower?

The truth is that most grads, perhaps even the vast majority - even from Oxbridge - are not going to get a graduate job, let alone a high paying grad job.

Great article on what is happening and why.

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

📣 KNEECAP STATEMENT:
They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide. Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria. Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history. We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action. This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation. All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel. At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head. Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine. This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards. To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt. Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs. No smear campaign will change that. Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain. The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power. Shame on them. A Palestinian man stands by graffiti in Gaza that thanks Kneecap for "being the voice of the oppressed".

'Instead of addressing the lack of accessible jobs, adequate childcare, or robust public services, governments are weaponising welfare policy to enforce the work ethic and establish an arbitrary standard of ‘deservingness’.'
Your Worth is Not Your Productivity
Labour’s swingeing cuts to benefits continue a long tradition of equating human worth with participation in paid employment — an unnecessary, immoral, counterproductive way to run a society.
