I say once again, apropos of nothing, Mahmood has a majority of 3500. The Greens got this much behind the independent who is being done for fraud. A strong pro-Gaza, probably Muslim candidate, would be a good move for the Greens to challenge.

Behind the weasel words and prevaricating euphemisms, Britain's politics of immigration are rooted in an antipathy to the presence of negatively racialised people in this country *on any terms*. If we'd confronted that reality decades ago, and faced it down, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Everyone always asks me what my favourite conspiracy theory is but medbeds is for sure the saddest, I really can't think about it for too long. Just openly preying on the hopes of very desperate people
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

“There is no famine in Gaza” is an exercise that has essentially the same intellectual contours as Holocaust denial.
Even if you can “disprove” a special case: there were 3 million Polish Jews in 1930. Where did they go?
Gaza is getting almost no food, and now produces none. What do they eat?

Report’s author raises ‘stark concerns about barriers to academic freedom’
UK universities have failed to protect gender-critical academics from bullying and career-threatening restrictions on their research, according to a report.

One of the most underreported aspects of life for Black undocumented migrants can be summed up in one statistic: They’re deported at a rate four times more often than their numbers would suggest.

5% of Undocumented Migrants Are Black. They're 20% of Potential Deportations.
