Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury
Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.
Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.
A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.
This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1
This is dead good by Juliet Jacques - on the cruel and stupid theatre of transphobia, its role in the authoritarian rolling-back of democratic rights, and how to hold the line in the current context:
Seamus Coleman made it clear that "as a Dad as a Son as a Husband as a Brother" whose grown up "knowing what's right & wrong" he won't be playing for Ireland against Israel. Fair play Sheamie!
How many players will follow his good example & also boycott the match?
BREAKING: People Against Genocide target the Colmore building in Birmingham, the site of both Chubb Insurance and Sompo's offices.
Both insurance firms provide insurance for Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.
Without it, Elbit Systems could not operate in Britain.
Less than two years ago, black and Asian people were being hunted in the streets. Attacked for the colour of our skin. I haven't gotten over it. Have you?
J’ai été empêchée de me rendre au Canada : une entrave préoccupante à l’action parlementaire et à la liberté d’expression.
J’assurerai malgré tout mes deux conférences à distance lundi et mardi soir, ce qui sera pour moi l’occasion de m’exprimer sur cette tentative de censure.
I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.
This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.
Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.
I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.
Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.
Sally Rooney: "I would like to ask my fellow writers & artists.. not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another more important side to the story. To join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in.. a struggle for human liberation"
Keir Starmer calls on *checks notes* Iran “to get back around the negotiating table.”
That’s where they were, then the US and Israel started bombing.
The words of a pathetic vassal.
The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.
🚨 BREAKING: Filton 6 defendants have been given a "not guilty" verdict or "no verdict" by a jury on ALL charges.
Not a single defendant was convicted of any offence.
The jury also refused to convict Samuel Corner on the charge of committing GBH against a cop

That bad faith actors will always try to hijack legitimate protest movements. A tale as old as time. Neo-Nazis have literally been trying to do this with the Palestinian liberation movement. Does that undermine the credibility of the movement and the legitimacy of its demands?
BREAKING: An autonomous group broke into Bruntons Aero Products factory in Glasgow.
Once inside, they dismantled machinery used to product parts for weapons companies arming Israel.
They took action in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and the hunger strikers.
I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike.
Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.
I have signed @johnmcdonnellMP’s EDM calling on the Justice Secretary to ensure their human rights are upheld, and we wrote directly to the Justice Secretary last week.
🇬🇧🇵🇸 Seven detained UK activists linked to Palestine Action are on a prolonged full hunger strike, with an eighth fasting intermittently in solidarity, now stretching beyond five weeks. Lawyers and families warn their lives are at risk, with multiple strikers hospitalized and doctors saying their condition is becoming life-threatening. The activists are being jailed before trial, despite not being convicted, over direct actions targeting Elbit Systems and genocide complicit military sites.
Supporters say the strike protests extended pre-trial imprisonment, prison censorship, and importantly the UK government’s decision to proscribe and ban Palestine Action, as pressure mounts for intervention.
Those on hunger strike: Kamran Ahmed, Jon Cink, Amu Gib, Teuta Hoxha, Heba Muraisi, Qesser Zuhrah, and Muhammad Umer Khalid. Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic, is fasting every other day.
