@rebekkarnold @rgbinOmaha I’m obsessed with this response!!

[Bex Rose @bexrosew]

Gosh people in these comments are so angry! It’s it’s a safeguarding measure!!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Men are so fragile!!!! Why are they taking it so personally that not as many men in historical eras were marrying children as media implies?!

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

One historical myth I think has surprisingly long legs is the idea that for most of human history marriage was between a very young girl and a much older man.
We kinda get that idea laundered to us even through fantasy (Game of Thrones did this a lot) but the reality is just

Open letter to the UK government following plans to roll out Netflix’s Adolescence as a blanket resource in schools. Many professionals have serious concerns surrounding educational integrity, ethical implications, and practical challenges.

Please consider adding your name to the growing list of signatories by following the 🔗 at the end of this thread.

We do not agree with Adolescence being shown in schools and intend to put our arguments across urgently to government.

Whilst it is a fantastic, gritty piece of writing, Adolescence is not an educational resource and is not suitable for schools. Teachers cannot be expected to roll this out, and this cannot be a knee jerk response.

If you are a professional who has concerns about this being rolled out in schools, please get in touch so we can put our names and thoughts together.

@Jaimi_Shrive and I will write up and share key arguments in due course, so please get in touch or add your name.

[Sixteen Films @KenLoachSixteen]

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Students have every right to be massively pissed off about this. Keir Starmer promised to scrap tuition fees and now he’s going to increase them - saddling students with even more debt. He literally bullshitted his way through his pre-election promises.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"What about university tuition fees then? Will you remain committed to scrapping them?"

Starmer "They're all pledges Andrew, so the answer to these questions is yes."

"So university tuition fees being scrapped will be in a Starmer manifesto?"

"Yes. That's why it's a pledge."

Al-Shifa hospital already has incubators! It's the fuel you banned; the hospital's solar panels you surgically bombed; & your tanks besieging al-Shifa that created the problem & is putting the lives of infants in grave danger!

Get it ding dongs? or is it only PR you care about?

‘Sometimes feel as if they aren’t fashionable anymore’ is just grim, right wing language.

I loathe him.

If you're not familiar with Palestine geography, Jenin is not in Gaza. In fact you can't get much further from Gaza and still be in Palestinian territory. Not a war against Hamas; an all-fronts assaulting all Palestinians.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:

1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.

2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.

3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.

4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.

5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.

6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.”

7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.

8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.

9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.

10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough.
This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices
