The march is London is colossal! They couldn’t scare us

This is the first statement issued by Palestinian scholars in the UK in over a decade. Why now? Bc supporting Palestinian scholars/students from Gaza without rebuilding Gaza universities (on their terms) is historically and politically disastrous, and morally blinkered.

hundreds of thousands of people out in London — despite attempts to smear and constrain, ordinary people, people of conscience, demand an arms embargo, a ceasefire, and freedom

🚨LOCATION UPDATE FOR MAY DAY 🚨

For 7 months we've protested against the genocide in Gaza. We've forced the topic of an arms embargo onto the agenda, but the government and the arms industry bosses refuse to act.

If they won't enforce an embargo, we will enforce it ourselves!

They assassinated the speaker of the poem about a form of political immortality, and then they assassinated its addressee

🚨Palestinian academics in the UK issue emergency call in defence of universities in Gaza and for urgent public commitments from UK universities and international organisations to support their rebuilding.🇵🇸

this is unbearable, entire families wiped out every single day. if you’re not protesting this something’s wrong with you

respect is not a matter of credentials or institutional status but is earned through action

And this proud, steadfast baba was at the protest with his baba. Beautiful intergenerational support for Palestine.

700 bodies now discovered at Nasser hospital alone (1,500 uncovered at Al Shifa), patients, some with catheters still attached, children, with hands still bound, doctors and nurses, still wearing their scrubs, many shot in the back of the head at point blank range execution-style

At a meeting about the Aylesham development in Peckham last night, residents asked who would be buying the market rate homes, a Berkeley Group staffer replied “people who want second homes.”

It’s offensively out of touch. Peckham needs affordable housing not second homes.

Solidarity with the two army horses who bolted from the military barracks in London and galloped down the streets.. Unlike those who ride them and blindly obey orders, these magnificent creatures made a bid for freedom.

i hate having migraines, uncontroversial but absolutely horrible!

This is from Boston right now. The full weight of the US military-police state are attempting to crush dissent but in doing they’ll only enlarge the movement. Liberal democracies thrive by allowing speech but inoculating that speech from power. State violence empowers that speech

personally, i would only bet on winning dogs

The number of bodies recovered from the mass grave in Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis is 348 as of Wednesday, but local rescue crews are still digging.
