"While Western media debates what was said on stage at Glastonbury, more than 200 lives have been lost in Gaza this week alone. Kneecap are holding up a mirror to Britain’s hypocrisies — and that reflection is making a lot of powerful people very uncomfortable." plinth.uk.com/blogs/magazi...

Sally Rooney in The Guardian Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fair play to Sally Rooney for this, brave and to the point www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You know what's "not appropriate" Keir?! Arming a fucking genocide... Fuck The Sun and solidarity with Palestine Action. 🇵🇸

The current fad for putting AI in everything reminds me of the 19th-century fad for adding electricity to everything, without thinking about why. Electric girdles! Electric garters! Electric hairpins! Electric tea cups!

I got this for planning a presentation on Charli xcx music, crude oil and gender - and the authors bio is fabulous

Che Guevara born on this day 1928 (with Irish roots, of course, in County Galway).

My approach to life

People in the West Bank were afraid that this was coming - that once Gaza had been sufficiently subdued, they'd be next. Please don't miss this because of all the noise about Iran.

speaking with such moral clarity, exposing the deep moral and political failure of mainstream media and politics and their dehumanizing disregard in the face of what is happening in Gaza m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1W...

There are many reasons to despair right now - but meeting later this evening with the beyond gender collective to rethink our role outside the university and to be at the forefront in protest and political activism gives me hope. The university is a poor home for radical change and ideas

We will not rest until the government finally listens to the demand being made by millions of people of all backgrounds and faiths: end all arms sales to Israel, now.

From 18th-20th June in Dublin, the Peace and Climate Justice Camp brings together Palestinian solidarity, Climate Justice + neutrality movements - connections between anti-war, anti-imperialist and environmental movements so important. StopShannonLNG, Extinction Rebellion, etc.

Global Wind Day is on Sunday - and Omega is a new tool funded by UCD Sustainability to optimise wind farm design (and to help account for turbine 'wakes' like those visible in this photo of Denmark's Horns Rev 2 offshore wind farm thanks to low-lying fog!) Full story: www.ucd.ie/sustainabili...

The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.

Edinburgh Principal Sir Peter Mathieson flummoxed when asked what he earns. He’s had a 7.5% pay rise, makes more than the First Minister and UK PM combined and still “isn’t quite sure” what he’s paid. Meanwhile, staff face £140m cuts. @ucuscotland.bsky.social #ucu #CutTheCuts

'Understanding Ireland’s dependency as a defining feature of Irish economic development allows us to see how the State’s undemocratic actions to support global extractive industries, erode our neutrality, and fail on Palestine are part of the same political economic matrix.'
