Official DHS account. Posting videos of militarized shock troops forcefully subduing street protesters. Threatening amplified state violence against political dissenters. If only there were a word to describe that sort of regime.

Western ‘leaders’ once paraded Greta as a symbol of moral clarity—until she condemned Israel’s genocide. Now they don’t even care about her safety

there is few (no?) more compelling cases for public control over investment than AI atm: the biggest misallocation of resources possibly in human history.

The global sumud flotilla is now 130 miles from Gaza, the area where Israel has attacked previous boats trying to break the Israeli blockade. In 2010 the Israelis raided a flotilla of 6 ships in international waters & killed 9 people onboard. All eyes on the flotilla.

This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide. While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide Absolutely extraordinary!

"Power not protest" is a truly fatuous formulation. Would you rather be MLK or Trump? Gandhi or Stalin? These people are so convinced of their own inherent goodness that they see their mere attainment of high office as a good thing. Even when they're using their precious power to enable a genocide

His legacy will be nothing more than trying to ingratiate himself with people who will only ever see him as a metropolitan nonse, and shifting the Overton window to the right as a result.

This Labour government seems to determined to create all the tools necessary for a future government of the far-right to control, surveille, and discipline the entire population.

This is appalling as expected from a strategically, politically and ethically bankrupt Labour leadership All Starmer offers is a slightly less extreme version of the far right which only ends up normalising its discourse, allowing it to set the agenda

Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

🇮🇹BREAKING: Italy Sees Massive General Strike in Solidarity With Gaza Italy is seeing a powerful 24-hr general strike today, Sept. 22, as millions of workers across transport, education, logistics, and other sectors are expected to join protests for Gaza. The strike has... @ryangrim.bsky.social

What a deranged country. Are we gonna have this as the number one headline for each *person* we remove? A cruelty spectacle.

Watching the news these past few days, I’m somewhat less taken aback by how UK media has covered Trump’s visit - talking about golf and lasagna rather than domestic political repression and the Gaza genocide - and more by how they are manufacturing consent for AI and big tech’s corporate capture.

But Wes Streeting has decided that it isn’t, actually, so that’s ok

guys i think we all need to get good with the fact that debate culture is not and never was geared toward arriving at knowledge that is simply not one of its goals

BBC News also hosted the head of turningpoint UK to talk about a few random death threats they’ve received online. Completely blind to attempts by the reactionary right to use a Christian nationalist debate bro’s death to facilitate the political repression of and violence against the Left.

Labour ghoul James Frith, an “avid music listener”, tells the select committee Bob Vylan made jews feel unsafe at Glastonbury (because of their anti-military chant), that he would be discarding their Humble as the Sun album he bought, and asked what due diligence the BBC gave to anarcho-punk bands 🤡

Every day, somewhere between 10 and 20 times as many Palestinians are slaughtered by Israel. It's not just that they don't get these messages of grief and condemnation from British politicians. British politicians continue to arm their murderers.

NEWS: I’ve set up an independent anti-racist reporting and monitoring organisation. We’ll document racist attacks, support victims, pressure authorities to act, and amplify the voices of smaller, more isolated Black and Asian communities across Britain.🧵

Replacing human judgement with mathematical models to make things more "fair" and "consistent" is an idea that's been around for over a century, but we keep discovering (again and again) that these models fail due to their design and input while providing cover for systemic cruelty.

This is what happens when you don’t have strong unions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Please somebody write something about the way that post-imperial English nationalism has become so symbolically and tonally similar to Ulster Unionism: the flags, the misplaced sense of victimhood, the empty militarism, the insecurity-fuelled eagerness for violent pre-emotive strikes…

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off. "I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

It is inherently absurd to proscribe a group as terrorists based on acts the public doesn't know about. Terrorism *by definition* involves violence intended to intimidate a civilian population. How can the target population be terrorised by acts they know nothing about? www.bbc.com/news/article...

In the (now very likely) event that both ministers are lying - that we are in fact providing critical intelligence to Isr*el and there is no ‘restricted intel’ that would suggest a more sinister PA plot - how are we to assess this govt according to its responsibilities under the Genocide Convention?

*curb your enthusiasm theme*

People are just walking around, going about their lives, acting like the governments we elected in the global north aren’t, right now, facilitating one of the most unimaginable atrocities in human history.

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.

Reading this, who can honestly say Gaza is not a concentration camp, w Israel engineering mass death by starvation.

Another deeply concerning allegation, the latest in a long line of apparent commercial and political lobbying against protest movements, some of which has led to the extremely repressive legislation we now face. Powerful lobbyists are the bane of democracy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

BIG: The International Sociological Association has suspended Israeli public institutions over their refusal to condemn the genocide in Gaza — a major win for the academic boycott movement. Sociologists are saying: silence is complicity. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/inte...

Many professors lean into this "intentionality" bit, wherein they believe that their attitude and approach to AI as a teaching tool can subvert or endow it w "goodness." The articulations & ethos of AI-enhanced EdTech are extractive. You engage with it - you give to it, no matter your intentions.

The hubris is extraordinary, turning recognition of Palestine into a bargaining chip w/ a genocidal state. Starmer thinks this is good enough to hide his complicity. We want recognition, trade sanctions, arms embargo, end of military assistance/training + expulsion of the ambassador!

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

Not even a day has passed & ‼️200,000‼️ people have signed up to build something special. From Farage to Starmer, the political establishment smears people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists. We say: not in our name. Join us: yourparty.uk

A very cool technology that allows students to interact with John Maynard Keynes’ ideas as he develops them is called a book

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Last night the Lords amended the Employment Rights Bill to massively water down plans to scrap zero hours contracts "Lords voted 264 to 158, majority 106, to change the requirement for an employer to offer guaranteed hours, to an employee’s right to request [it]" - which could of course be rejected

Trigger warning here Palestinians in the Rafah concentration camp in southern Gaza being shot at by the Israeli army They’re waiting for ‘aid’. This is Israel’s favorite method of the past several weeks to trap civilians and then open fire www.instagram.com/reel/DMFankX...

It is Walter Benjamin's birthday. He famously wrote that "The work is the death mask of its conception." By that standard LLM like ChatGPT are quite literally zombies, reanimating the dead letter of the works without the lifeblood of thought

I'm trying to think about how I would have reacted if shown this headline five years ago

Everything in the UK is punishingly expensive. But at least the politicians are cheap.

Moodboard Summer 2025

I’m sorry, the “ceasefire” Israel and the US want Hamas to sign demands to “concentrate” the population of Gaza on the ruins of Rafah and maintain IDF military presence? Why would anyone agree to this monstrosity? www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/liv...

just want to live in a world that is not barreling full steam ahead towards apocalyptic hypernormalized AI fossil fascism is that too much to ask

Sutton Trust research has consistently shown that the most significant impact on graduate income remains… their parental income and upbringing. We still have a class system in this country and even the most universal and comprehensive university system would not entirely undo that!

American contractors are murdering Palestinians at ‘aid’ sites and they are treating it like a fucking game. “I think you hit one.” “Hell, yeah, boy!” Monstrous. apnews.com/article/pale...
