Protest has proven effective in forcing oligarchs to cede rights to folk since feudal times. The right to protest is a human right and any regime that ignores the will of the people forfeits the title ‘democracy.’ Tactics like aiming tear gas, police violence, projectiles 1/
Echoing our call in the UK, human rights groups in Australia are urging investigations into whether Australian-Israeli dual nationals may have been involved in genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity in Gaza. https://t.co/sJ0dOL48QK
Israel ordered the evacuation of the ENTIRE city of Tyre, including the Christian Quarter.
A city that has stood for 4,000+ years is being wiped off before the eyes of the world.
In Gaza, Israel burned both people and land with white phosphorus while much of the world looked away.
Today, the same scenes are unfolding in Lebanon before the eyes of the world, yet meaningful action remains absent.
The school children murdered at Minab were killed with a Tomahawk cruise missile, which has parts manufactured in the UK. That's how much the govt care about children. To say nothing of Palestine and Lebanon.
And the reasons given every year for not improving pay - protect the viability of UKHE, and jobs in it - are nonsense, because jobs are going like never before as people are told their universities aren't viable without redundancies...
"I say to you again, this disregard for international law will not stop in Palestine. It is already unfolding from Lebanon to Iran, ... And if left unchecked, it will spread far beyond. What is lost in Palestine will be lost to us all."

@RaveCozensHardy@danny__kruger@JDVance Kruger gentle smiles to the camera but is to the right of anything in the Handsmaid’s Tale.
No gay adoption, no women’s reproductive rights, return legal protections to the 1950’s & demand his brand of patriotism from citizens.

I am glad I heard these three with great life experience explain how as Jews they cannot accept that Israel has the right to take over Gaza & parts of Syria & Lebanon "They Call Us The Wrong Kind of Jew” Miriam Margolyes, Michael Rosen & A... https://t.co/GuurhAHtm7 via @YouTube
Stop lying. Even her dad said that she was radicalised. She also told a man on a dating app to “kill all Jews and Muslims.” It’s incredible that you lot will defend a convicted Nazi, whom her own dad called out.

Over the next two weeks, I’ll be orchestrating the ninth Children & Young People’s Literature Festival in Blackburn with Darwen. Growing up, my local library was invaluable, reminding me of the power of words and stories, and the importance of having access to them.
We’re very excited to welcome all of our authors and illustrators, especially @MichaelRosenYes , who will be the first author to perform at the @ExchangeBBurn since Charles Dickens! 🎭 This festival wouldn't be possible without the support of funding from @blackburndarwen, @CILIPSLG@LottoGoodCauses Community Fund, @TNLUK and so many more amazing organisations.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
