A reminder that are around 10000 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, most without charge or trial. A % of those are children. This is a carte blanche to execute all of them.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Fascist subjectivisation

Argentina: Mass protests against Milei’s anti-labour laws

The proscription order remains in place pending an appeal. Until further legal proceedings are complete, it remains a criminal offence to support or promote Palestine Action.

The High Court has ruled that the banning of Palestine Action was unlawful. Bart Cammaerts of @lsemedia.bsky.social previously argued that the ban risked feeding radicalisation and distrust in democracy. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Trump’s desire to label ‘antifa’ as a ‘terrorist organization’ is not only important in the US: it has already inspired the same designation in the Netherlands and Hungary. Unfortunately more countries are likely to follow. #NoPasarán

EXCLUSIVE | A man convicted of the attempted murder of a 14-year-old child is now part of a group of vigilantes, who have been ‘patrolling’ Belfast's streets and claim to be protecting women and children from migrants

Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican' Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping. Here, he tells us his story.

"But what happens to our economy when growth itself is increasingly hard to come by? What happens to our politics when we have no policies for a post-growth world? ... And what happens to our science when such questions are deemed to be outside the remit of inquiry?" - @timjackson.org.uk

Thank you to everyone in Illinois who stood up to ICE mercenaries today. This is what it will take—to put our own bodies and freedom on the line in order to make every action they take as difficult as possible. crimethinc.com/zines/seven-... It is, in fact, our own freedom on the line.

“By designating the group as terrorists, the government has sent a clear message to investors and industry partners: we are open for business!” This article on how the proscription of PA fits in with the government's wider economic plans is very good. toucheachother.substack.com/p/on-proscri...

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.

For the fifth straight day - hundreds of students - joined in solidarity with teachers and community members - walked out of at least seven different high schools in Los Angeles, while other schools across the US, also continue to see student strike actions against ICE raids and beyond.

Roads in the west bank blocked, Palestinians from Jerusalem receiving text messages telling them to go back to Jerusalem, mass arrests, and almost 900 checkpoints set up across the territory. Whats going to happen to the west bank?
