🍉This is how we spent our night in Gaza. The wind is tearing our tent, and the rain is flooding the little space my orphaned 🥲🖐️

The nazis are coming for me so I’m going to spend my last days writing a philosophical manuscript about the ontology of revolutions

A lot of white people, particularly older ones, think a person can't be a racist unless they're literally telling you they hate Black people and love Hitler. So there is a value to publicizing them doing that so explicitly.

I am no Zionist, massively disagree with the Netanyahu government, and want to preface what I say with that. This is no place to be debating the ethics of Israel. Innocent Mancunians were murdered on Yom Kippur because they were Jewish. There can be no equivocation about that. It's not the place.

AI chatbots — A technology of disorientation. At first, I thought it may be good for brainstorming and fast text editing. It was useless with anything to do with data processing — it was making data up and lying about it. 1/4

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

Now obviously, the British political/media class have enthusiastically frog-boiled themselves into believing that dragging off two hundred old ladies is just normal, regular centrist moderate politics. But you are not them, you should recognise that this is absolutely deranged authoritarian lunacy.

I urge you to note that “The government today arrested 400 anti-genocide protestors, The Ministry For Crackdowns said those committing terrorism would be crushed by the full force of the state” is the kind of thing you see in background news reports in scifi movies about future dystopias.

ARE YOU READY YET⁉️⁉️⁉️ NOBODY IS GOING TO COME AND SAVE US, WE HAVE TO SAVE OURSELVES‼️‼️‼️ THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM IS TO SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY‼️ BY👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 generalstrikeus.com

Some people (a lot!) want this to happen in the UK as well, sadly. And nobody is stopping them. They are walking on eggshells around them.

Newnham College, Cambridge. Horrifying. We have to stop this happening in other British universities

Our esteemed expert here appears to have gone from just innocently asking (in 2018) “Is Rising Ethnic Diversity a Threat to the West?” to answering (in 2025) that yes, the degenerate races pose an terrible threat to the herrenvolk and should be driven out en masse. Its not 'a grift'. Its who he is.

There is NOTHING about #Gaza in my @bsky.app feed. Even if I search for “Gaza” or “Palestine” I get 2-3 day old posts. One has to go back to fascist X to get Gaza news and commentary. The exit happened a while ago when Gaza accounts were being deleted but it’s long lasting and deeply depressing.

How long before they start shooting? It’s a wonder this hasn’t happened yet. Wonder if they are already using an AI algorithm that systematically prevents POC from having a license (not that human agents wouldn’t be doing the same).

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

So far, we know that the Americans sent neo-Nazis, Christian Zionists and anti-Muslim Christian Nationalists to Gaza - and it’s those men that have been opening fire on Palestinian civilians along with the IDF.

History will one day record that while the UK Govt continue to facilitate the worst genocide of the 21st Century, ordinary people protesting against it were subject to 'the greatest mass arrest in history'. #Israel #Gaza news.sky.com/story/police...

Protesters at London’s Parliament Square for the right of Palestine Action to protest are being arrested one by one now.

The Terrorism Act 2000 specifically ensures that it is lawful to organise for the de-proscription of a group. There should be no law in democracy that cannot be opposed. That is the very mark of democracy itself. Help us share legal info elsewhere: www.wedonotcomply.org

BREAKING Defend Our Juries website taken down as attack on freedom of speech worsens - blocking access to important legal info for protestors. This is what happens when the Government uses anti-terror law to silence dissent. www.wedonotcomply.org <— legal info here instead!

The startup named Herasightm after the goddess who threw her disabled child off a mountain, seems focused on public outreach using embryo selection for IQ to win over far rightwing pseuds & techbros

These embryo-selection startups are clearly feeding into an alt-right ecosystem that revels in techno-futurism much as such movements have in the past. GWAS participants & parents navigating IVF deserve better than being used as tools to attract the attention of edge lords.

It is depressing, but all too predictable, how swiftly we’ve gone from the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium offering reassurances about the uses of behavioural polygenic scores to one of their lead authors marketing embryo selection for IQ

“Israel has come under huge international pressure as images of starving people have prompted an outcry” What pressure? Palestinian state recognition after the entire population is tortured and decimated, ‘if Israel agrees’ and while still selling them weapons? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

“What we have seen is a lot of funders who appear to be very aligned with us, progressive on everything but Palestine, who won’t have conversations with us.” Journalists & nonprofit newsrooms detail how Palestine coverage is scaring off nonprofit news funders, @nicolefroio.bsky.social reports.

It’s really a defamatory way to push the police to NOT protect but arrest antifa protesters. And I suspect it’s motivated not by fear of imagined pitchforked communists out there now, but by fear that the slightest shift to the left now could open the gates for big movements in future.

Yesterday a taxi driver was chased because he was brown, last week in Epping a hotel worker was attacked because he was brown and last year people were dragged out of their cars because they were brown - if being anti-immigrstion is not racist, the fellas missed the memo

Gaza😔

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

Gaza.

There was a time when you could describe Gaza as an "open-air prison," and people would scoff at the ludicrous hyperbole, and now we're at "Gaza is an open-air death camp" and that's just ... true.

Pay first, ask questions later. And if it causes havoc, and if it discriminates, you’ll still be forced to use it. Turns out to be a costly mistake? Fire some people to cover the loss. That is “innovation”. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

UAE arms RSF’s genocide in Sudan but 1) the ICJ decided it has no jurisdiction to rule against it when the case was brought by Sudan; 2) The USA and EU have now removed UAE from their corruption & terrorism ‘grey lists’ allowing unrestricted (arms) trade. www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/... 1/2

‘“What can be done?” the European diplomat might ask me today. For a start, call a spade a spade. This is an apartheid regime carrying out a genocide on a captive population. End military assistance. Suspend arms exports to Israel.’ Tareq Baconi on Gaza: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
