The law and actions of the British state continue to be completely fucked.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

this was, basically, the driver of the Anglo-American coup against Mossadegh in Iran in 1952. The president didn't just tweet it out though.

HMP Bronzeville finally let an ambulance through to take Qesser to the hospital, but have arrested a doctor who was at the prison. Follow prisoners4palestine on IG for updates and keep pressuring your govts because the hunger strike is still on. No demands have been met.

Bracing analysis of the rise of the far-right in Germany: "there are widespread right-wing extremist networks within the security services, the police, and the armed forces. Europe-wide networks of fascists are operating unhindered. Something is brewing. If we don't react now, it will be too late."

On the stoop with a cuppa and a v energetic person stopped to tell me how warm it is and how cold it gets in Chicago and how nice it was Mamdaddy won and the terraced houses around here are cute and her z1o brother is irritating and she's leaving Spain, and I feel like I've been in a social tornado.

I won't say what I want to say about the video of that lying fascist monster Ben Gvir gloating over a room of kidnapped people because I truly don't want to give that scumbag the satisfaction. But what impressive people the Sumud Flotilla participants are. Pressure your governments to get them out.

The explanation for this is that all these people are horrible ghoulish fucks who have bullshat themselves into a corner at the request of the USA and are desperately trying to use Jewish safety as an ablative shield for their own reputations. But nobody is saying this.

To clarify: what a lot of people are seeing is a horrendous genocide with starving children being livestreamed on tiktok, and a political media class that's very obviously lying to them about it and claiming opposition to it is antisemitism.

Protesting genocide is fundamentally un-British, you are correct, home secretary. Of course it is, the British state is responsible for centuries of massacre after massacre, genocide after genocide, to this day, including the current Israeli genocide of Palestine.

It's not the main point of course, the main point is how the British Labour government are participating in the Israeli genocide of Palestine, but that section in Owen Jones' conference video with Akehurst is fucking cinema. The YNWA playing, knowing the context for that? Fuck me.

the world will have to learn what “groypers” are and i don’t think the average boomer is ready for that

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

Herzog has been a consistent cheerleader for Israel's campaign in Gaza. His assertion that there are no innocent civilians in Gaza is key evidence in the genocide case being heard at the ICJ. Basic facts in the biggest news story in the world, of which Balls displays blithe, swaggering ignorance.

Moving towards a safer society requires a rudimentary understanding of how power works and a plan for how to change this society into one where transphobia isn't protected and enabled. Not begging transphobic institutions like the police to stop individual transphobes.

I'm in Wales and I'm English *spits* so I'm (badly) speaking the words on signs and street furniture like they're Elvish heroines or places from deep myth. We should all know the tale of the warrior peasant Ysbwriel who fought colonisers at the battle of Trowch i'r Chwith.

Sorry, but wtaf? This does absolutely nothing but ensure that even more people, including children, have to use irregular crossings, and blocks people who even this government have recognised are refugees from being with their families. This is utterly sickening from Labour. 1/

Flippancy about snowmobiles and fur coats aside, not to mention the risks of emboldening far right misinformation, there's a lot here which is just plain cruelty. Parents can't try and save to buy a child a toy, people can't listen to audiobooks. It really is a "they should suffer" type of policy.

"essential living needs" is not an objective category. Do you remember the pandemic? All the arguing over essential purchases, travel, services, workers etc? It's just an empty word for people to protect their unexamined moralism onto. And it always tends towards sanctimonious asceticism.

When it comes to asylum seekers, "luxury" doesn't mean expensive, it means "goods and services that fall outside the scope of essential living needs". Everything, from the impossibly meagre allowance to the arbitrary restrictions, is about ensuring denial and misery.

A serious discussion of nationalization and public ownership is strangely absent from Enshittification. What we get in its pages is social democracy at best, not socialism. Reform, not revolution. www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-the...

Elbit, the Israeli company that was Palestine Action's primary target, is close to winning a £2bn MoD contract to train British soldiers. The idea that as genocide continues it's "business as usual" is why thousands plan to shut down the DSEi arms fair on 9 Sept www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-clos...

And there you have it. Proscription because there was a contract under negotiation. And the fact that it’s to train British soldiers is very very bad

actually i want to share this with everyone: this is what happens to your *already chronic debilitating health conditions* when you add the stress of applying for disability benefits

The full report is here: transactual.org.uk/impacts-of-t... Every single report is absolutely heart wrenchingly awful. I've just picked out a handful here but you could replace any of them with anything else here and it would be just as bad.

Tell me again about the likelihood of the Irish police arresting an Irish author for breaking a British law, whilst in Ireland

Alex Davies-Jones is a supporter of Labour Friends for Israel, got an expenses paid trip there in 2023, has abstained from voting against genocide and got her constituents arrested and their homes raided for questioning her about her stance while out canvassing

I get that it’s comforting to imagine it’s just Kemi Badenoch but very clearly, a good half of the media/political class have dry-roasted their own brains in a digital oven.

I got a response from my MP about Wikipedia going behind the porn wall. It's much longer, but the rest of it is basically the Tories did this, but we agree and we're protecting freedom of expression actually? We're protecting privacy by making you give your face or card deets to every website?

Cormorants in the big park lake today, arriving one by one by water to derelict moorings, churning to bathe then drying like bats, youngsters off kilter on angled wood struts, then standing, seven of them, lean and still and smooth and curled on rippling light.

Infodumping about cormorants in the park to a lady who showed the mildest interest when I pointed them out, what neurodiversity

A hearing takes place tomorrow starting at 2pm at the Royal Courts of Justice with the judgement on the application for leave to judicially review the ban on Palestine Action. It will be held in Court 72 with an overspill televised link in Court 76. Protesters are expected to gather outside from 1pm

[CN: child abuse] It should be a scandal that a group whose members happily talk about punishing their kids for being trans by destroying their things and contaminating their eye makeup with chili sauce has the ear of the Health Sec. But I guess abuse is okay if you do it to trans kids?

Today I forgot the words "tea towel".

By accident not design I left home hungry, but the meadow blackberries are ripening in waves.

Police detained an 80-year-old pro-Palestine protester for almost 27 hours for holding a placard supporting Palestine Action. Her friend was also arrested, and bail conditions prohibit them from contacting each other or spending any nights away from their homes www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Someone please remind me that spending time replying to virtually identical arrogant, ignorant, fascist comments on news orgs' FB posts is fucking terrible praxis, jesus, take the phone

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

Quite something seeing them say this poisonous terrifying shit out loud, even for grumpy anarchos like me.

Protestors in Merseyside who were arrested under terrorism charges for allegedly supporting Palestine Action were bailed on the condition that they do not mention Palestine.

NOW: The High Court is hearing a case to challenge the government's decision to ban Palestine Action under anti-terror laws. 🧵 Thread of updates from inside court:
