Some people, like the former Prime Minister, can just pop home and come back with ID, but many people don't have that luxury. The government's voter ID scheme makes it harder for some people to vote, but not others - that's not fair.

UCLA senior administration running a regime that unleashed, on campus, the LAPD who shot 5 people in the head with rubber bullets, deployed flash bangs directly into crowd and arrested 132 people.

Unwavering solidarity with all who have stood up to the fascist violence

People have been through more than anyone could imagine over the last 6 months.

They are very scared of what tomorrow brings. They are very scared if more military action will happen. Scared if they'll be displaced again.

Scared of the nights.

There is no safety in

While Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich calls for 'No Half Measures' in the 'Total Annihilation' of Gaza, Biden and university authorities accuse students protesting this 'annihilation' as... antisemitic - and unleash the police against them!

Euro-McCarthyism on the march: the Vienna Festival is threatened with loss of funding because its President refuses to dis-invite me. My refusal to deny the duty of Palestinians to resist the Occupation callously equated with antisemitism/terrorism.

'Outsourcing institutionalises racism'

RMT's Mick Lynch

Black and Asian workers are disproportionately in precarious low-paid jobs on bogus self-employment contracts. Denied statutory sick pay and protection against unfair dismissal.

On tonight's BBC News at Ten, the narrative about the campus protests moved even deeper into the realms of mendacious fiction.

Earlier in the day the BBC led with a fake headline – 'Rival protesters clashed' – even though the footage clearly shows outside pro-Israel agitators…

Dear BBC, please amend your post. The 'horrific acts of violence' were perpetrated AGAINST the pro-Palestinian protesters AFTER the police were called in. I have no doubt that the BBC will not want to stick to this (I hope inadvertent) distortion of the facts.

The unspeakable brutality being used by paramilitary police across the US against peaceful unarmed students and senior faculty members is being deployed in the full knowledge this is being videoed.
This is policing not by consent, but by terror.

Well, if this is the democracy and freedom that the United States of America has spread around the world, it really does explain quite a lot about the state of the world.

Britain is offering arms to Israel as it commits genocide, violating its own legal obligations.

Ironically, these protesters are the ones upholding the law.
