Newcastle has a long and proud history of resistance, solidarity, and political struggle. But there hasn’t been a radical bookshop here since the 80s.
Books from Below are fundraising to open a new radical bookshop and community space in Newcastle UK!

Oh damn, someone said it.
Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.
The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.
Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.
ANGRY STARMER
Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices
strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
This is the rhetorical equivalent of ‘the Nazis were actually left wing because they were called National socialists’

• Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people. • Keeping women's prisons for women, instructing the Scottish Prison Service to remove all biologically male prisoners from women's prisons within days of the election. • Recommit the NHS to delivering single sex wards on the basis of biological sex, and ensuring patients can request same sex provision wherever possible.
Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them
cheers, Tim Montgomerie's crying. nice one
I am hearing that on his deathbed Viktor Orbán received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
A screenshot of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, of the player looking at a vineyard. It is a grey, cloudy day. One woman is using a gardening hoe in the background, wearing simple brown clothes. Another woman, an Argonian (humanoid lizard person), is standing in fine green clothes with a bored expression. Her scales are a mix of orange, brown, and green.
Your milkshake did not bring any boys to the yard.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.
You are being lied to
The silence of UK government at announcement of genocidal annihilation of civilians in Iran is deafening. The lack of condemnation makes him and his government complicit in what takes place.
Our crowdfunder for the first radical bookshop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 40 years is still going strong!
You can support us by donating here:

There’s plenty of rewards for donating!
It would really help us out if you shares this post widely!
I wasn't going to say anything. What is there to say when there's things to do and people to call? But...
I do think this, while not equally evil as the threat being made, is probably an evil response in some ways. To shrug at this moment, when lives may be at stack, is sinful.
i'm normally pretty good about managing The Horrors but for real how is anybody supposed to get anything done today
I realise this is the “shouting into the void” website, but there’s an extra amount of shouting into the void today
Tweet from Manu Raju (@mkraju): Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight.... Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@reaDonaldTrump): A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
We’re led by the very worst of us—and I don’t just mean Trump, who’s only an appropriate figurehead for his class and their narcissism, bloodlust and poisonous, nihilistic ideology. Far from being a democracy or meritocracy, our system rewards psychopathy with world-ending power.
What is there to say at this point that doesn't sound trite, as little more than an attempt to get the last word in against a distant empire which can only hear the sound of its own dying arrogance.
It's now the obligation of every nation to intervene to prevent this.
As I’ve been saying for a long time: it should be clear that the endless conflicts in the Middle East are being driven by genocidal madmen who cannot be deterred, and are bent upon massive murderous destruction to assert their dominance
never forget when the Easter Bunny sent Teddy Roosevelt to the shadow realm
I feel like having this attitude towards games at 45 should be downright embarrassing
A great read, loved the piece on Raymond Williams & community education especially. But so much more too
