IMPORTANT
There are some very prominent accounts claiming Leeds Green councillor Mothin Ali was participating or inciting people to riot in Leeds.
This is FAKE NEWS.
He spent hours trying to STOP people burning and damaging property.
Please share. #riots
The councillor in question Mothin Ali has actually managed to calm the situation pretty much single-handedly running in and preventing people throwing more bins onto the fire
low hanging fruit but we have deeply fucked food systems in this country. it's needlessly difficult to grow any food at any scale, land ownership skews this further in the wrong direction, and we are more disconnected from what we produce and what we eat than anyone in Europe
One thing about the call for divestment is that it forces us to confront just how naturalized the imperialist position is. It's considered a non-political issue for higher ed institutions to profit from war, genocide, and occupation. What's "political" is asking them to stop.
Proud moment as fellow alumni Palestinian Dr. Abu-Sittah becomes Rector @UofGlasgow & addresses students “Our revenge will be the laughter of our children” dedicates his victory to over 40,000 dead in Gaza, members of his family & colleagues murdered by the state of Israel 🇵🇸❤️
Andrés is Biden's useful idiot. Would not be surprised if Israel took a calculated risk in carrying out this atrocity knowing full well that humanitarian orgs would then withdraw, hastening the genocide. WCK as an organisation were brought in partly to supplant UNRWA
The bill Congress just passed:
–Cuts UNRWA funding
–Sends Israel another $3.8 billion
–Limits aid to the Palestinian Authority if "the Palestinians" initiate or support an International Criminal Court investigation against Israel for human rights crimes https://t.co/tBp9u1Jaej

felt very springy this morning. made some breakfast and sat and ate it on the front step in the sun for the first time this year. landlord then arrived to attempt an unannounced viewing and we refused to let him in, having a nice cuppa as he trundled off tail between legs
