Cenk Uygur on UK BAN:
"I can criticize the king. I can criticize the UK government. I can criticize the prime minister.

Pro-Palestine prisoner Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old with muscular dystrophy, has been dragging himself across his prison cell floor because he has been denied a wheelchair.
He hasn't had access to a shower for over 20 weeks.
He has been waiting for a neurology appointment for over 12 weeks while experiencing chest pain and breathlessness.
This is happening in a British prison right now.
I've written to David Lammy to demand answers:
It's an outrageous smear to suggest @hasanthehun should be banned from the UK for antisemitism.
Here's his speech last year denouncing the evil of anti-Jewish racism.
This is about suppressing voices who oppose Israel's genocide.
Presidents of nations committing genocide: welcome.
Vocal opponents of genocide: banned.
My piece for @ScotNational on the UK government's disgraceful decision to refuse Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker entry to the UK.

Israel just carried out another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.
Dropping massive bombs near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre — wiping out 3 apartment blocks full of civilians.
People are still buried under the rubble.
This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

"Ford’s government is eager to defund places like this (Sistering) because he wants to be able to crowd out these neighborhoods so that he can sell it off to his developer buddies." #WorthFightingFor

Thousands in the streets of Valencia, Spain. Teachers are on strike for better public funding and working conditions! Similar protests are taking place across the country. This is what it looks like to stand up and demand that the government FUND THE FRONTLINES!
