Useful summary

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

PRESS RELEASE: Hundreds of young people spell out demands to #TaxTheSuperRich on the eve of tax treaty negotiations in Nairobi, Kenya. UN Tax Treaty talks are key to unlocking TRILLIONS for climate finance and nature protection. #UNTC #COP30

This is madness - how can they justify yearly flu vaccination for all staff (and seriously encourage staff to have it with various deals) but then ignore the other infection that is hitting staff on regular basis? I hoped this madness would change with new government - sadly it has not.

In a historic first, working GP Patrick Hart has been suspended from the medical register for 10 months for his actions to sound the alarm on the climate crisis and its threats to health. Read more here: healthforxr.com/historic-fir...

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

This, this, this. If journalists don’t scrutinize this and explain it properly now then they have failed on their duty and will bear a share of the blame if such policies are enacted (most of the public oppose them and don’t I think realise what is being proposed yet).

Our 60-day Gaza plan is delivering. Since the ceasefire, we have been able to bring in much more flour, yeast, and fuel for machines. New UN supported bakeries are being opened every day. Visited the latest, where 300,000 pieces of bread are already being produced daily. @wfp.org

AP live feed of No Kings protests, just in case you can’t find anything on MSM:

Gaza has around 20,000 unexploded Israeli bombs amid up to 70 million tonnes of rubble, posing a massive threat to Palestinians, as removal is blocked by Israel’s ban on heavy equipment, according to the Government Media Office. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/m73gl0

Really love this. If the fash are about, we all need to counter

Please know that this is Trump scaremongering. There is no good scientific evidence linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism. A 2024 Swedish study of 2.4 million births found no relationship whatsoever between exposure to paracetamol in utero & subsequent autism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#Trump says paracetamol in pregnancy causes autism. #RFK Jr. has long pushed similar myths about vaccines. Both ignore what decades of research show: 🔹 Autism is mostly genetic 🔹 Valproic acid (not paracetamol) is the real medication risk 🔹 Fear spreads faster than science

🔴Elon Musk Should Face ‘Full Force of the Law’ Says Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey The Liberal Democrat leader tells Byline Times that Musk and his platform are inciting violence and breaking laws designed to protect children online bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/e...

In other words, 94% of those killed in Gaza since March 25 were civilians - up from 83% in the first 1.5 years of this genocidal war. Another symptom of stage 2 of the Gaza Genocide under Trump: fewer casualties so far, but targeting almost entirely civilians. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

🔴‘The Media is Failing to Report the Human Impact of the Rising Tide of Racism’ News organisations are completely failing to represent the concerns of people of colour amid the rise of far-right groups and open racism, writes Helen Wadia bylinetimes.com/2025/09/19/t...

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Brussels today. Almost a quarter of a million people on the streets marching for Palestine, calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. This footage was captured by freelance photojournalist, Wahaj Bani Moufleh 👏

1 in 4 detainees from Gaza are identified as fighters. Civilians make up the majority of Palestinians held without charge or trial in abusive prisons. Those jailed without charge or trial include medical workers, teachers,civil servants,media workers, writers, sick and disabled people and children.

👏👏👏

I see all the media organisations endlessly parroting the "free speech under threat" rhetoric of the right are now staying completely silent as Reform and the Conservatives openly ban news outlets that criticise them from covering their events bylinetimes.com/2025/09/04/k...

“Airdrops are totally unnecessary, inefficient, costly, and risky,” our Juliette Touma tells DW News. “There’s a safer, faster, more dignified way: by road.” During the ceasefire earlier this year, the UN — including UNRWA — brought in 500–600 trucks a day. We must return to that.

Missed this. That takes some guts from the councillors (and everyone else who has held up PA signs etc. since the ban)... www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

A Palestinian mother in Gaza: “My children have become skeletal, skin and bone. Even the slightest effort makes them dizzy. They are asking for food, and I have nothing to give. I can’t lie and say I’ll bring them something when I know I won’t be able to.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

"Gaza has become hell on earth. No one is spared — even aid workers are starving," UNRWA Juliette Touma said, reading a statement from UNRWA Commissioner-General at @ungeneva.bsky.social press briefing. People in #Gaza are being shot while seeking food. This is happening under the world’s watch.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

The crispest summary of why racism is a critical avenue of inquiry on its own, even within a healthcare area with many other issues. Too easy to shrug "weeell, maternity care falls short for many". The "how" and "why" matter. The generic may not solve the specific. Superb, by Dr Karen Joash. ~AA

Poems from the children of Gaza. "And the question remains - will we tell it or become the story?" What a line. 💔

Well worth a read. Is it really just too much to ask that politicans from England would spend just maybe an afternoon of their time actually finding things out about Northern Ireland, even 2 hours. Read the wikipedia page...something

While infection control and cleaning is always a good thing, it’s not going to cut it for measles. Measles is airborne and highly contagious. The best approach is vaccination, and local infection control should focus on ventilation and air cleaning www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

In Ukraine, some people with tourniquets can’t escape because drones are waiting to kill them. “There are so many people [in] Ukraine now with tourniquet syndrome, because the tourniquet’s on for more than six hours.

Welsh First Minister goes further on Gaza than I’ve heard any senior Labour figure go. Eluned Morgan says she defers to Helena Kennedy in her view that Israel is engaged in genocidal behaviour against Palestinians.

I can’t really overstate my admiration for this mother to sit in a room and speak with such clarity and power about the most outrageously awful thing that a parent could ever go through. It was as humbling as it was distressing to listen to.

In my years in journalism I have witnessed and sat through many distressing things But hearing a mother speak about how her 7-year-old daughter twice fought to escape from the Southport murderer, protected other children and suffered 33 stab wounds is one of the most harrowing things I can remember

“When you drive someone out of their homeland that would be a war crime, in the context of a war. If it’s done on a massive scale like he plans, it becomes a crime against humanity,” Michael Sfard, Israel’s leading human rights lawyer www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
