BREAKING:

In a United Nations vote, every country in the world has condemned the U.S. blockade on Cuba—except the United States and Israel, the two very same entities which are jointly carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Wow. Reeves extends the inheritance tax freeze until 2030 while scrutinizing benefit claimants’ bank accounts. By lifting the freeze instead, she could raise the same amount—just over £2 billion—that she’s pursuing from claimants as ‘fraud,’ making them ill in the process #Budget

I'm often surprised by how many change & improvement leaders don't know about (or don't use) Liberating Structures. They are a set of 30+ ways of working with groups that enable us to include everyone, in innovative ways, to produce results within a short amount of time. Liberating Structures can change the way we meet, plan, decide & relate to one another. You don't need to be an expert facilitator. They can be used by anyone. They are freely available. I use Liberating Structures constantly in my own practice. In the last week, I've used 1-2-4-All & 15% Solutions. Learn more here: https://t.co/l6DCCI2foA. Liberating Structures were developed by @KeithMcCandless & Henri Lipmanowicz. Graphic from @liberators_the

Western media framing is misleading.

Iran waited 2 months to respond to Israel’s assassination in its capital because the US said they were “working” on a ceasefire in Gaza, which never happened, then Israel expanded its war to Lebanon. Israel is “retaliating” to a retaliation.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

BBC News reports that Israel has bombed a school being used as a shelter for displaced people & at least 16 people have been killed, including children

The UK govt is providing direct military assistance to Israel that's enabling it to continue this genocide.

Community ownership of land can create "a new constellation of possibility", in the words of Scottish land reformer @alastairmci

Delighted to have this extract from my book THE LIE OF THE LAND published in today's @FT - featuring the Langholm Community buyout @TarrasValleyNR:

🧵Apologies for interrupting your weekend, but it is a moral imperative to share the catastrophic situation unfolding in Jabalia:

JABALIA REFUGEE CAMP IS BEING ANNIHILATED

[Dr. Abusalama @ShahdAbusalama]

Sign the petition! The human rights violations taking place in Gaza are at catastrophic levels. Despite this, the UK still hasn’t suspended all transfers of arms to Israel - there should be no loopholes https://t.co/Dlvgo5PG3D

This broke me. These calculations don’t even include the murders in Lebanon or the murders that occurred prior to Oct 7 💔💔

[Eloise Smith-Foster @EloiseSmithFost]

This sounds incredible! Looking forward to taking a look 🌱

[trans judeo-bolshevik @transjewtalian]

october 7th permanently shaped postcolonial studies as a discipline in that it revealed beyond all doubt just how many scholars are careerist unprincipled charlatans who wouldn’t know what solidarity looked like even if it set up camp occupying the center of campus for weeks

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Every single Western politician who permitted 12-months of Israeli impunity in Gaza is directly responsible for the mass murder taking place in Beirut tonight.

Justice will come. Their jail cells await.

Imagine if they spent £22 billion on restoring peat bogs, the oceans, forests (proven carbon capture), or on public transport, insulation, solar – literally anything but this, which is just playing into the hands of the fossil fuel bros and delaying the transition to green energy
