Yup, I am mortified. That is for sure. The world is too deadly, for too many people, at the hands of too many other people, for mortifying reasons. I am well and truly mortified. Hopeful enough of us can prioritise this for rapid change. We need it yesterday. Get on it.

“Dignity and respect”

You OK? 🙏🏻

Black music been with me since '82 and it's comin with me the rest of the way 🙏🏻 Love to hip hop 🖤

Queen 🤎🙏🏻🖤

What possible explanation could there be for this, other than making the conditions and suffering of Palestinians even more horrific and accelerating the genocide?

This be the first NYE in many a year I ain't DJing With so much dark shit goin down I just ain't feelin it Solstice love to oppressed and marginalised people everywhere 10 days in and counting Full moon on Saturday Love

This winter the Israeli government has not stopped committing genocide in Gaza, and the US has not stopped funding it.

You don’t ban aid groups, unless you want people to suffer.

Feelin this one right now 🙏🏻 All love to Jean Grae, Hip Hop and Black music 🖤

Starmer, UK government and British people 🙏🏻 Do not eat from a table with Trump at its head ✋🏻 There are many reasons why and here are more than a hundred 👁

The new year began for me when our earth passed the moment of solstice with our sun ten days ago Meanwhile, this is now for people in Gaza...

So much love to Gary Lineker speaking out for Palestine ❤️ Hats off to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for hosting him on @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👏🏻

Fascists don't have a simple "difference of opinion." They want to literally force everyone they don't like out of society, into jails, or worse. They've been screaming it for years and actually doing it! You don't preserve democracy by inviting them in and giving them the run of things.

Alison Griffin, head of conflict and humanitarian at Save the Children UK, writes about what life is like for children in Gaza this Christmas.

Lil bit o seasonal truth 🙏🏻 Is there a heaven? 🧐 I don't know y'all! 🤔 Life is here and now 🤫 Religion stole the show 😇 The big day was 4 suns ago 😘 Love everyone ❤️ Stay merry 🙂 Solstice ☀️ 🌍

Keep it real 🙏🏻

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/i-di... #Palestine #Israel

Israel is continuing to bomb, starve, torture and displace Palestinians, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. We cannot turn away or let our governments normalise these abuses.

The wellbeing of Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike is deeply concerning. The delay in hearing this case helps no one concerned. Whatever one’s views are on Palestine Action as an organisation, justice delayed is justice denied.

Tash Sultana 🔥 One of the most phenomenal performers I've ever seen or heard 🙏🏻 So deeply tapped into the source of life ❤️ Music and voice so ethereal, yet so real and raw 💯 So powerful 💥

Looking for hip hop ten? Here's one 💯

I have said it before and I WILL continue to say it, Palantir is a criminal organisation. There's no excuses for letting them have access to uk citizens data. We need to sue the living daylights out of them and anyone who lobbied for them to have our data! 🤬🤬

Home alone bound to bed and sofa weighs heavy I can shop, walk or DJ a little on a good day Then back to horizontal rest for days on end Watching everyone live life in Ripple on Netflix Wonder if I'll ever work or fall in love again The loneliness is deep It's been five years now #disability

Man made it all the way home 🙏🏻 I don't own any of his music but I would if my dad's partner hadn't given his vinyl collection to a charity shop 🤦🏻‍♂️ Keep on dancin Chris Rea ❤️ We're caught in a world full of tears And so many bad times and fears So while there's a chance, and you're near Let's dance

"You cannot teach young people to stand against racism while refusing to teach them the racism that shaped this nation from the beginning." Travis Lovett in Australia The same goes for British young people in relation to the racism that shaped the British empire 🙏🏻

Nicki Minaj OMG I knew your hip hop was never for me Never knew you'd cut yourself from life's tree Did you ever have love for a soul to be free? Like the rest o dem you're on the tee I be drivin you away with a 750cc

After midnight After the test #Ashes

Two Palestine Action-linked hunger strikers taken to hospital

Frank on Joshua vs Paul Keeps it real as ever Doesn't dignify it with clip or photo There is a noble side to boxing Jake Paul isn't it Big money Hearn isn't it Brutal Saudi isn't it It's kids learning to look after themselves and eachother It's respect for opponent and for self 🙏🏻 🥊

✨Happy Winter Solstice, and all the upcoming winter holidays! 🌟🎉✨

Solstice love comin at each and every last one of ya! 😘 ❤️ 🌎 ☀️

There has been a relentless, cacophonous campaign to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activists. But the inconvenient truth is that these are just ordinary people of good conscience who see the horrors of Gaza and simply cannot bear to stand by and do nothing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

OMG so much this! 💯 If English society had a genuinely antiracist and equal opportunities approach, with well managed grass roots sports development schemes for all. How different things would be! 🙏🏻
