This is what’s funny but not really - Starmer has worked SO hard to appeal to the Right by weeding out socialists and specifically leftwing Jews from the Labour Party, but he’ll never be rightwing enough for them until he crosses the floor, so they continue to depict him as being JC’s pal.

petition to send all brit journalists horny for war to the front lines immediately along with their families

It's fucking galling that people who are *actually* meaningfully radicalised in dangerous ways or who are radicalising British people with their right wing "journalism" get to wield Prevent which pretty actively ruins lives as a weapon.

IDK but the fact that it is 24 degrees in London on the 9th of October just seems really fucking terrifying to me.

Samah Fadil who's post i shared here is a great Black Palestinian writer and this piece by her always makes me emotional.

"Through a kaleidoscope of family stories, writer Samah Fadil holds on to what it means to be Afro-Palestinian in diaspora"

Can't believe we had to put up with a bunch of middle class nonces who insisted being in a whites only club so that they could holiday more easily was the most important political priority.

The EU once again siding with white supremacy and genocide.

if you think the time to say “both sides may have done bad things but,,,” is while one side is openly planning a genocide via starving out millions in an open air prison, maybe reconsider some things, maybe delete your account

Okay, but this is just a fraction of the daily terror Palestinians face and have faced over the past 75 years. Why is this so unacceptable that it cannot be seen to be condoned?

I hate to break it to you, but people have the right to resist occupation and colonisation and this is what it looks like

I think the worst part of today's coverage on the BBC has been the attempt to uwu smol beanify Israel talking about its "trauma". Motherfucker it's the number 1 cause of trauma in that region!

So peaceful they will help Israel brutalise a group or people. You haven’t a clue, Judy.

So many people are willing to differentiate between "Israel" and "Israeli people", but aren't willing to distinguish between "Hamas" and "Gazans", and that double standard is both abhorrent and revealing.

Call me crazy, but the rights of Palestinians to live free of colonial oppression is not tied to their support for LGBTQ rights or otherwise. Making liberation conditional fucks us all in the end, either we're all free or no one is.

If you don't fully understand what's happening in Gaza, but would like to, here are a couple of #MovementMemos episodes you can listen to or read today.

Same with Scottish slave plantation owners, there was fucking hunners of them. A lot of Scottish people were enthusiastic participants of the worst crimes of the British empire and it does no-one a disservice to recognise that

Yup. We were literally building the Confederate States fast steamers on the Clyde to run the blockades during the 1860s so the sweet, sweet cash from plantation crops wasn't cut off during the US Civil War.
