“Israel killed more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza overnight in its deadliest assault since the start of the ceasefire.” Journalist Minnah Arshad on how Israel never intended to honor its ceasefire: zeteo.com/p/gaza-massa...

With @ 7 million having rallied on the 18th & the govt about to starve ppl who depend on SNAP, a general strike becomes much more realistic. Follow this acct & learn more about how to prepare. ✊🏼

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

She was arrested for holding a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

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.

not true

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

We have been shadowbanned on this event and yet we are nearly sold out…come help us sell out and show your love and support for Palestine and Gaza. www.ticketmaster.com/voices-for-g...

Maria Ressa going on the Daily Show and being like, "we tried to warn you [colonizers] this shit you created is bad and self-destructive [but you never listen brown people and women]" is basically the story of "western civilization" in a nutshell

I can't recommend highly enough that you read this coolly mocking letter from the judge about Trump's lawyers' 85-page-long (!) windup to their laughably flimsy lawsuit against the NYT. "Abundant, florid and enervating detail"! The whole letter is this good. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Happy publication day @tommctague.bsky.social! With a raft of rave reviews, BETWEEN THE WAVES has just been Baillie Gifford Prize-longlisted: ‘Even the most passionate Remainer — or Leaver — should enjoy it enormously... lucid, thoughtful & richly provocative’ Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times

“Lucid, thoughtful & richly provocative… [McTague] tells his story with such dry and fair-minded intelligence that even the most passionate Remainer or Leaver should enjoy it enormously.” Delighted with @dcsandbrook’s review of my book, Between the Waves www.thetimes.com/article/fa75...

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

It's called fascism. Fascist regimes, like Mussolini's Italy, directly nationalized some businesses. American journalists need reminding that this isn't necessarily a 'socialist' thing. Articles like this don't help the public interpret what's happening in the US. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City. "He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent." It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

Just horrific and enraging www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/w...

I believe they call this "finding out" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Still waiting for all those "good cops" we were lectured about during the BLM protests to show up and prevent masked men from kidnapping & human trafficking

I welcome the government’s move to recognise Palestinian statehood, but it must be unconditional and immediate. In Gaza, Israel is killing one person every 12 minutes, and famine is continuing to mount. We need sanctions, an arms embargo, and recognition now.

Really enjoyed this conversation between @gabrielflynn.bsky.social & @nrolah.bsky.social at Reference Point - unpacking themes around class and social mobility, depictions of Manchester in literature and the tension between love & beauty in his debut novel POOR GHOST!

I'm so excited for ESEA Lit Fest to be taking part in the Southbank Centre's new 'ESEA Encounters' series on Saturday 19th July! It's a showcase of artistry from East + South East Asia + the diaspora. We've programmed a day of talks with some of the coolest names in literature, art and video games:

People who are still shouting that Israel is not committing genocide must be clapping their hands over their ears every time an Israeli minister steps onto a podium because

"New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court" The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, reports @premthakker.bsky.social

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

Too often, Black professionals, and particularly Black women are asked to lend our expertise, but are not given the room to lead, says Micallar Walker, founder of Dark Matter 👇 #BookSky

They set fire to a hotel where refugees were forced to live, attacked mosques and homes, stopped people driving into an area if they weren’t white. “grievances” remember violent racism is always our fault

People really tried to argue, for years, that this is about economic anxiety and not white supremacy.

I wish they would go after the GOP the way they go after the left even once.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

The planting of fabricated stories on foreign media is a huge scandal in Israel. Meanwhile IPSO has just tickled the Jewish Chronicle (owner unknown) with a feather duster. What’s the point of the press regulator? My column www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

So much for being mysterious! In case you're awaiting a reply from me - I went freelance in Jan but my old Hodder email is not sending ooo messages... In the meantime, I've been launching The Ministry of Time paperback with the ever-delightful Kaliane Bradley and @mrfeditor.bsky.social
