And we’re back to that day of the year when I moan on and on about how the Russell Group isn’t a real thing and is definitely not fetch.

Electing Zohran Mamdani NYC mayor would spur cop exodus, crime surge straight out of Batman’s ‘Gotham City’: experts trib.al/RFsmWpy

Stop threatening us with such a good time.

I am old enough to recall as far back as 2018 when Cooper sported a suffragette rosette. A reminder that the suffragettes, unlike Palestine Action, actually planted bombs and destroyed property.

The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

Academic censorship on Palestine even extends to discussing Palestinian dance A peer-reviewed article—on Indigenous dance in Palestine and Native North America as resistance to genocide—was formally accepted then rejected by the editors of The Journal of Somaesthetics, citing...

A peer-reviewed article—on Indigenous dance in Palestine and Native North America as resistance to genocide—was formally accepted then rejected by the editors of The Journal of Somaesthetics, citing fear of criticizing Israel’s genocide.

Exclusive: David Cameron threatened to withdraw UK from ICC over Israel war crimes probe Former foreign secretary told ICC prosecutor Karim Khan that issuing arrest warrants for Israeli leaders would be like ‘dropping a hydrogen bomb’

This is a huge scandal.

As Foreign Secretary, David Cameron tried to intimidate the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Courts into dropping his Israeli arrest warrants.

A violation of international law - ignored by British news outlets.

'No act of journalism ... is too small': Creating necessary archives Archives are the "slam dunk" purpose of movement journalism. What we create just has to archive the truth for the next generation.

In which I argue that no act of journalism or archiving is too small. As @prisonculture.bsky.social and friends were saying at our event about 'zines a couple weeks ago -- make your thing! Write your stories down! This is one of our power sources! objectivejournalism.org/2025/06/no-a...

SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity. Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement: "SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody. "We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it. "We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."

BREAKING

The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Musk has experienced multiple slights lately (from his perspective) at the hands of the administration, so I don't know how this will end up. But the guy struck a Nazi pose and made cuts that will kill millions. He should never know peace. He should only know scorn and blowback forever.

Israel destroys Gaza dialysis centre; outrage over killings at aid sites Israeli forces continue to pound Gaza as outrage grows over the killings of starving Palestinians seeking food aid.

In destroying north Gaza's only surviving facility for kidney dialysis (no doubt claiming it was... Hamas), Israel has indirectly condemned to an agonising death countless patients. Another day another Israeli genocidal act. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Trump blocks Harvard’s ability to enrol international students Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says move is response to university’s refusal to comply with Trump demands.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

Of course the greatest US president of the 20th century served this country from a wheelchair, so using mobility as an indicator of intellectual ability is both stupid and insulting, as is making a clickbait story out of something that didn't happen but someone said someone was thinking about.

Gaza will be concentration camp, declares Netanyahu His colleague, meanwhile, says Gaza will be destroyed. Genocide in plain sight

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp.

They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die.

No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇

How about we get 100 drag queens - a mix of c!s women, c!s men, and trans people, all in drag so nobody can tell who’s who, dressed to the nines, and start having sit-downs (lol) in public loos. Let the police come. Let them drag out 100 drag queens into the back of their vans 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Trump's deportation force is currently holding three times as many people at Krome as their capacity. Two of the detainees have died. Reportedly more than 40 women are being held at this all-male facility. Reports of lack of water and food, unsanitary conditions and medical neglect.

Next month, Trump will have dinner with the top 220 investors in his memecoin. The dinner announcement led to a 54% increase in the value of TRUMP tokens. Trump holds 80% of all TRUMP tokens. This is late stage mafia state shit.

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

We support calls to stop redundancies, end targeting and engage in meaningful negotiation on workload, health and safety, equality and precarity.

My god.

Upholding Our Values, Defending Our University Dear Members of the Harvard Community,Over the course of the past week, the federal government has taken several actions following Harvard’s refusal to

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Do you have a supportive employer? No terfs in the office? Don’t comply. It’s Jim Crow Laws for trans people. If they insist, start looking for a new job and contact Good Law Project. Even if it’s just to log what happened for when we go to the Euro Ct Human Rights. It will be torn up ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

One of modern journalism's heroes.

The integrity shown by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social would have been considered standard back in the '80s.

I am old enough to remember a journalist going to prison rather than reveal their source - and being backed by their editor, and journalists across the world.
