A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Everybody to Kenmure Street has won an international award at Sundance Film Festival. Well timed, cos it will remind doubters, haters & sceptics that neighbours will protect one another against an authoritarian state - in Glasgow 2021 or Minneapolis today.

On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember Pastor Niemoller's famous poem. He says "First they came for the communists". But that's not entirely true. First they came for the queers. Even when the war was over the queers were still being violently oppressed. And today they're coming for the queers again.

From Neutrality to Peace: responding to the rise of racism - Stride magazine
Education is often presented as a neutral space. Nuzhat Uthmani argues that neutrality in education is untenable and potentially harmful.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

Reform targeting children is disgusting. Most children who don’t yet speak English become completely bilingual very quickly. I’ve seen kids going from not speaking any English to outperforming their peers a few years later. Being bilingual has amazing cognitive benefits. Leave these kids alone!

We know the kinds of conversations that would have happened in the homes of these people over the weekend that their own children will be exposed to. Schools and the education system as a whole must confront
#racism
and be proudly
#antiracist
in everything they do. It's already gone too far.

First the anti-foreigner crowd went after hotels, and now they're going after schools, and people with a platform who refuse to call it out are guilty of appalling cowardice.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

My thoughts on the disturbing incident of a young Muslim girl who was racially attacked on Monday after school while walking home in a leafy suburb of Glasgow. I am in disbelief that this is happening in 2025. Everyone has a responsibility to make sure this doesn't become the norm including schools.
