A tough year for tech workers, the industry hit a record number of layoffs. Nearly 120,000 tech workers have been let go this year as companies slim down their staffs in the name of AI productivity. As consensus grows about an incoming “job apocalypse" https://t.co/Sv0jWgihVT

.@ZackPolanski: "This was the 127th target seat for the Green party. There is now no no-go areas for the Green party, theres no such thing as a wasted vote.. you can't underestimate how transformational this is for British politics"

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Plumber, socialist, anti-racist, champion of working class communities… watch Hannah Spencer’s victory speech here. “We are sick of our hard work making other people rich”. Massive blow to Starmer’s genocidal “Labour” party.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Hannah Spencer: "Many voters I spoke with from lots of different backgrounds are deeply troubled by this Labour govts complicity in genocide"

Well said. Opposing genocide isn't the preserve of any one group or community.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

"My father was shot three times."

Young Palestinian children recount how they lost family members in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

I am impressed (and touched) by the how many are speaking out in defense of my work. Standing united against abuse is critical, and even more critical is to stop the genocide.
TOGETHER WE CAN.

Just to remind you.. This is the Israeli occupation soldier who murdered little Palestinian girl Hind Rajab by shooting 355 bullets at her tender body!

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

I've got ADHD, Joanne.

It comes with the territory.

Now we've cleared that up:

What's the explanation for The World's Number One Women's Rights Defender™ saying zero, zilch, nada about the impact of Israel's genocide on Palestinian women?

Here's a thread on what JK won't say

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Insane that the British Foreign Secretary can meet with the former leader of Al Qaeda in Syria while, at home, on the same day, his government arrested 20 people on 'terrorism offenses' for supporting a non-violent pro-Palestine protest group.

This Labour Party does not look like the Labour Party that started with the working class people, for the working class people and by the working class people.

If you are teaching in higher studies, you can help the Gazan Universities to teach undergraduate students in Gaza.

The amount of destruction in Gaza will take decades to rebuild.

How can a headline like this exist and the world not immediately drop everything to stop the ones behind it?
