Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be. Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

Happy to be interviewed this week on how the US TikTok takeover reveals a concerning pattern Trump building a monopoly of supportive media, one captured media organisation at a time, to keep power and manage public criticism. Read more in the @washingtonpost.com with @drewharwell.com below 👇

And many of those professors are women, folks of color, and people who study marginalized groups. This is not about controversial views. This is about fundamentally de-liberalizing higher education at a structural level.

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA NIH grants. The same judge, Rita F. Lin, previously ordered all UCLA NSF grants reinstated. Lin has now nearly entirely reversed Trump's July de-funding of UCLA research: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Alaa Abd El-Fattah is considered to be among the most high-profile political prisoners held in Egypt’s prisons.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

This is not the Bristol I know & love. This is not the Bristol of vibrance & acceptance. Shame on those who are inciting so much hatred & violence, quite literally on the streets I grew up on (I walked to school on this road) www.bbc.com/news/article...

Images of the far-right demonstration in London are incredibly concerning This shows how quickly tens of thousands can be emboldened to take to the streets in support of racism and outright fascism They insult Starmer and the mainstream media and yet they have been key to enabling this emboldening

”Reductionist views which subscribe to and perpetuate misleadingly binary constructs of sex play into misogynistic right-wing politics which harm us all… this is not a theoretical debate, it impacts lived realities and the liveability of our lives.” Feminist scholars demand trans equality.

This article about building workplace democracy really resonates but it’s not really describing a new phenomenon inthesetimes.com/article/is-s...

This article by @jmbooyah.bsky.social is really good about the struggles that people from Gaza have on this platform and how Bluesky could have made different choices. I’ll highlight the accounts of some of the Gazans in it below ❤️

The focus of this article is a softly softly interview with a racist. Made possible by the unique way that you fund the BBC!

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again. These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration. He has to go.

Are you ready to hand more than £1,000bn to England's privatised water companies by 2050? Shareholders don't invest. Money will be extracted from customers, shareholders will own the resulting assets and income streams and collect dividends. Public ownership is the only sane way.

Africa to be hit hard as UK foreign aid cuts revealed

Again - the reason the Irish government/nationalists in Northern Ireland wanted a reference to the ECHR in the Good Friday Agreement is that the European Court of Human Rights had held the UK accountable for human rights abuses in NI - whereas "domestic UK and common law principles" had not

People in #Gaza, including UNRWA staff, are fainting due to starvation and severe hunger. People are dying from severe malnutrition. UNRWA alone has thousands of trucks in neighbouring countries waiting to enter Gaza – banned by Israeli Authorities from entering since March. Lift the siege.

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why. This week's column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Racist demonstrations, reportedly organised by Neo-Nazi groups, have been held outside asylum hostels around London. They have turned ugly & violent at times. First question on #r4today to a local MP: “do you have sympathy with protesters?” I switched off. Enough.

I'm now blocking anyone stating that people protesting vs the government's ban on Palestine Action deserve to be arrested. Yeah, sure, it's an opinion and you're welcome to it.
