It is difficult at times to repress the thought that history is about as instructive as an abattoir ~ Seamus Heaney

Hundreds of thousands of Israeli's are demanding an end to the genocidal war on Gaza right now.

I bet the Media won't mention it once.

There will be women tonight dreading their partner coming home. Football does not cause domestic abuse, but it can become more frequent or severe after big games, with reporting increasing by 38% when England lose.

Something absent from this morning’s coverage is how the shameful state of our prisons was a conscious objective of Chris Grayling. He slashed the budget by £1bn, sacked a third of prison officers and boasted that prisons would now be “tough”.

@ginamartinuk Laura Bates @EverydaySexism rightly calls out role of the media in this. My husband bought 10 copies of her book so work colleagues & our daughters’ friends can educate themselves & be part of the drive towards long overdue change.

[David Challen @David_Challen]

Violent men will find any weapon they can to exact the harm they wish to inflict on women, and whilst I support moves to restrict access to crossbows, the focus must be on the escalating acts of abuse preceding murder. Namely coercive control, for which there is a 3.6% charge rate for and 0.01% of offences recorded result in conviction!

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.

The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.

Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.

We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.

Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.

Say their names

I can not imagine John Hunts pain. I send every condolence for his senseless loss.

I know the killers name.

I had to scroll quite a while to see the names of the women murdered rather than their relationship to men.

@allianceparty @SorchaEastwood Very powerful, Sorcha. Well done!

I understand that it is physically painful to like such videos, but this is the only way to raise posts in X-algorithms, people need to see the truth about what the Russians are doing on the territory of Ukraine.

After a Russian drone spotted volunteers delivering humanitarian aid to civilians in the Ukrainian town of Chasiv Yar, they all started to be shelled, and this trend is constant, according to local residents.

Thank you volunteers for the video so we can have a chance to show it to the world!

This is a war crime. Attacking a children’s hospital is a despicable act and the West should eliminate all restrictions on Ukraine using ammunition to counterattack military targets in Russia

@edwinhayward I suppose this confirms everything previously suspected about client journalism.
