What I love about Gen Z and Gen Alpha is, they grew up believing in the power of digital activism and they don’t give a fuck about people telling them that the individual is powerless. So join them! They are the only way.

I completely understand why Yoda lived on a planet by himself.

I'm not criticizing Zohran for doing this because I understand he has to deal with a very toxic political reality. Politics is a different game.

But to me launching a "Strategy to Combat Antisemitism" in a time of the Gaza genocide is akin to a "Strategy to Combat Anti-Whiteness" at the height of South African apartheid. That's not even a fair analogy: Israel and its apologists do infinitely more to both fabricate and encourage anti-Semitism.

You can literally see Israeli drones over Gaza from space.

This is a Hermes 450, manufactured by Israeli arms company Elbit Systems.

Also, don’t miss episode 3 of Disrupting Peace with the @WorldPeaceFdtn, featuring @Ruth4Peace and @RAlmutawakel, Chairperson of @MwatanaEn.

Why do Western countries keep fuelling atrocities in Yemen - and what would it take to turn things around.

You know who didn't text their buddies to come rape a girl?

these seven frat boys at Cornell were accused of gang r*ping a fellow student, who was drugged and assaulted over and over for a period of approximately four hours.

screenshots of the fraternity "Chi Phi Activities" group showed one of them texting there was “free p*ssy” upstairs.

the university suspended them, but offered them a way back if they wrote essays.

none of these alleged gang rapists was charged with a crime.

meanwhile, the university arrested and prosecuted students who protested against genocide.

may all rapists die the worst deaths known to the mankind

Exactly three years before Frodo sailed from the Grey Havens, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin arrived in Bree and entered the Prancing Pony. There, they encountered a mysterious Ranger known only as Strider.
That meeting would change the course of their journey forever.

[ADAM @adamemedia]

So @Cornell suspends students for protesting genocide, but not for rape?

If the Palestine Action ban isn't lifted before the Supreme Court, it'll be Andy Burnham's government in court defending the draconian ban and the criminalisation of thousands of people.

They have just over a month to lift the ban.

Nobody is ruining a man’s life by reporting a rape he committed, men are ruining their own lives by committing rape

[Huda Ammori @HudaAmmori]

Over 150 people were arrested for holding signs outside Labour conference which said they oppose genocide and support Palestine Action.

If you heard us, why is Palestine Action banned?

No one remembers the name of any athlete from the 1968 Olympics for winning medals. They remember the name of John Carlos +Tommie smith for making a stand.
In 50 years we won’t remember the name of any Irish player for what they done on the pitch. We will remember Gavin Bazuno

[Niz @NizMhani]

We need more people in politics like @andrewfeinstein

A Jewish anti zionist, anti-apartheid campaigner & former colleague of Nelson Mandela, he ran against Starmer in Holborn & St Pancras.

He now puts his own political aspirations aside to campaign for @ZackPolanski

[Abby @itsabbilina]

So you can get arrested for protesting a genocide but not for committing one?

Got it.
