Zack Polanski, "I'm Jewish, and the reason why that's relevant is because I'm one of five Jewish people to lead a political party in the last 100 years"
"So I take antisemitism really seriously"
"In the same way, I take Islamophobia really seriously"
"Because I recognise when they come for one minority group, they come for all of us"
"The only way to be morally consistent is to condemn what happened on Oct 7th and to condemn the genocide in Palestine"
"As a Jewish man I feel the genocide very very deeply"
Zia Yusuf, "I'm a Muslim man and you're calling me a fascist"
Zack Polanski, "You actually are a fascist, you're form a far right party"
Zia Yusuf, "Your concern about Muslims extends only as much as they agree with your political views"
Zack Polanski, "Nigel Farage joined forces with the Swedish democrats in the European parliament, this is a far right Nazi group. They want to deport people not from the colour of their skin but from the place sthey come from"
*Zia Yusuf looking very uncomfortable*
"Nigel Farage also talked about it being the end of democracy because of the way certain ethnic minorities are voting"
"This is racism. It's fascism. We should call it out"
Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal#FreeBenAndJerrys
🚨 BREAKING: ICE secretly deported Luis Leon, an 82-year-old torture survivor and U.S. legal resident of nearly 40 years, after he walked into an immigration office to replace a lost green card.
Instead of processing the request, ICE handcuffed him, detained his wife for 10 hours, and later told the family; through a fake “lawyer,” that he was dead.
Turns out, ICE quietly transferred him through a Minnesota detention center and dumped him in Guatemala, a country he has zero ties to. There’s no deportation paperwork, no public record. His family only found him alive after relatives in Chile tracked him to a Guatemalan hospital.
Leon suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart issues. The DOJ is now under fire, but this is the Trump-era immigration machine still in motion—cruel, unaccountable, and lawless.
If they can disappear an elderly, law-abiding U.S. resident…
They can disappear anyone.
AI could be used to revolutionize a lot of things for the benefit of humans and the planet alike, but under capitalism we're choosing to use it as our replacement for artists, therapists, girlfriends, and even our own brain cells. We can and SHOULD do better.
“Humanities degrees are useless” is propaganda that’s had the effect of convincing a whole generation that reading and critical thinking skills were unimportant. Now we’re reaping the results with mass illiteracy and a public eager to embrace conspiracy theories and fascism.

Gisèle Pelicot is on the stand today and asked about her decision to continue using the surname "Pelicot".
Gisèle explains that when the trial began her children were "ashamed" of the name.
She adds: "I have grandchildren who are called that.
"Today, I want them to be proud of their grandmother.
"My name is known across the world now. They shouldn't be ashamed of carrying that name.
"Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."
Yes we will. What a woman.
