Social security is a human right. When it's torn away fear and division fill the gap. amn.st/63329A7uPZ

It is past midnight in my time zone. My thoughts are with the human rights activist #AhmedMansoor. He was arrested in March 2017 and is serving 25 years in prison for his activism. My #BirthdayWishes4Ahmed are freedom and that he is reunited with his family. #FreeAhmed

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Friends! It’s #GotchaDayForTheTriplets so we thought we’d share the first video of them with Baby Dog trying to play/look after them. This is where their relationship began… a whole year ago! We’ll post several things today, including a brand new photo of the Triplets together!

🚨 This morning we turned the street outside Labour Party Headquarters in London into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. Listen to @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social talking about what the Israeli army did to his neighourhood and family.

We need to spread the word. Tell the UK government to stop deep sea mining before it starts.

🚨UK Lawyers for Israel Ltd has tried to silence various voices supporting Palestine. Their charitable wing has made public statements rejecting international law. Activist Em Hilton is on the Charity Commission offices to ask for an investigation. youtu.be/Ui70R8PCkJ4

It’s time to invest in communities and social homes, not private pockets. The government is handing money to companies that make huge profits from housing people seeking safety in appalling conditions. But this could be used to fund a joined-up, local approach to housing people seeking safety.

Horrific, horrific news from Alder Hey in Liverpool. And I’m already seeing anti-vax nonsense in response to this tragic news on social media. We are living in such dangerous times.

Last year was the deadliest year for journalists ever recorded, and 70% were Palestinians killed by Israeli forces.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... 👏👏👏Thank you Sally Rooney for saying so well what so many of us feel.

Palestinians deserve freedom, dignity, and the opportunity to live a life free from violence. The UK must join the majority of the world and recognise the State of Palestine at next week's UN Conference. Your MP can sign the EDM here: buff.ly/HSAsq93

It should never have come to this. Alaa Abdel Fattah is a prisoner of conscience, he shouldn’t have spent a single minute behind bars. And his mother shouldn’t have had to spend a minute on hunger strike to campaign for his release. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Aid and rescue workers in Gaza are risking their lives every single day. Many have been killed by Israeli forces in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Efforts to investigate these violations & crimes are obstructed by the Israeli authorities. We need a permanent ceasefire now.

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨 This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️ 👉 www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

#Police have raided a #Quaker place of worship hosting a campaign group's welcome talk. Here are three reasons to be alarmed. symonhill.org/2025/03/29/p... @youth-demand.bsky.social

Hamdan Ballal was forcibly disappeared by Israeli soldiers after having been assaulted by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in Susyia, a village in the occupied West Bank. He has now been released, but those who carried out the attacks must be held accountable.

87 year-old Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos smiles as he walks into Charing Cross Police Station to be questioned by the Met for his peaceful protest against Israel's genocide in which he commemorated the tens of thousands of children Israel has deliberately slaughtered #ukprotestlaws #gaza

This is a full-frontal attack on LGBTI people in Hungary and must be repealed.

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

Open defiance of the courts in the US (and officials mocking judicial orders) is a sign that things may be much worse than even I thought.

How it started vs How it's going

We need a public inquiry on Britain’s role in war on Gaza

Almost 100 arrested during protest occupying Trump Tower over Mahmoud Khalil

The murmurations are such a Brighton institution, it’s a disaster to be losing the starlings for something so needless! Please email your MP and ask them to support my Bill to ban pesticide use in public spaces: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

It can be very easy to get lost in statistics over the proposed #benefitscuts. No doubt at least 2/3 of the press will now be running opinion pieces about why our “bloated benefits bill” needs cutting and why “workshy” sick people need to be “encouraged” back to work. 🧵 #chronicillness #disability

🚨URGENT: Pakhshan Azizi and Verisheh Moradi, both Kurdish women, are facing imminent execution in Iran. Iranian authorities have executed at least 853 people in 2023 alone. We can’t let them be next. Sign the petition: www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/stop...

📣 New anti-protest law debated in Parliament TODAY The Crime and Policing Bill continues the crackdown on our right to protest. Instead of more anti-protest laws, the government should REPEAL the draconian laws already restricting protest. Peaceful protest is a human right.

How is it possible that one of the wealthiest countries can’t reverse poverty? How did the NHS become so underfunded that it struggles to provide essential care on time? The UN is calling out the UK’s failure to protect basic rights. Why urgent action is needed ⬇️ www.bigissue.com/opinion/unit...

Like many women fleeing war and torture, Zoya & Sofya came to the UK as refugees. But after fleeing their home countries, like many others, the UK's hostile policies have meant their problems haven't ended. Show solidarity this International Women's Day - watch their message to UK leaders now.

As they did prior to 18th January, the Metropolitan Police is pulling the same bullshit "delay, withhold, disrupt" tactics that end with last-minute restrictions on the National March for Palestine on 15 March - again referencing "concerns by pro-Israel groups" cnduk.org/palestine-co...

The significance of #InternationalWomensDay 2025 cannot be overstated. It is no longer a case of addressing unfinished business on the gender justice front, but bracing ourselves to resist regression and a mounting assault on our rights. Read more 👇

Friends! It’s #InternationalWomensDay today. Please celebrate the women and girls in your household and appreciate them for how wonderful they are. More than ever now, we must speak up and support women around the world. Our feisty little Cleo agrees. Please share ❤️ and have a wonderful #Caturday ❤️

The Israeli military’s repeated unlawful attacks during the war in Lebanon on health facilities, ambulances and health workers, which are protected under international law, must be investigated as war crimes. Read more 👇
