The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death.

They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

PIP is to help people be independent. It's literally in the name. But god forbid you actually be independent and try to live your life.

Don’t want to be too moralistic about this, but it is an active disgrace what people are doing to a profoundly liberational scheme that costs relatively piddling amounts on the basis of a couple of right wing shitposters misrepresenting it on Twitter.

“If Labour don’t do this, we’ll get a Reform government”

Trans people, disabled people, migrants, people of colour and people seeking asylum already have a Reform government.

You just want to feel superior to those who like the idea of Nigel Farage as PM.

Am sure this piece is well intentioned. But if you seek to analyse the pushback against (eg) trans people without acknowledging the *vast* sums the political right spends demonising them you will draw many false conclusions. 🧵 on.ft.com/4ha0Cyt
Where ‘woke’ went wrong
Seemingly irresistible just a few years ago, movements aimed at addressing systemic inequalities are now in retreat. Can they recover?

There are 20 Just Stop Oil supporters spending Christmas in prison.

You know who aren't in prison Christmas today? The CEOs, billionaires and fossil fuel execs who disregard the lives of millions for their own profit.

A lot of how this site develops is on the Bluesky team, but a lot is also on us: what kind of community do we want, and will we push to get it?

Let's push to get a community where voices of the most vulnerable (today, voices from Gaza), can be heard.
So I hate to tag the mods- but I sent this email about the mass deletion of Palestinian accounts over a week ago to @support.bsky.team and I haven’t heard anything back (apologies if I somehow missed an email). I’d like to ensure it will be seen by the proper people.
