what’s currently happening in the UK: a non-exhaustive thread

While everyone is sharing the clip of Walz saying that the Dems should listen to uncommitted voters and that the situation in Gaza is “intolerable” - here are his actual recent actions on this, refusing to meet with Palestinians who’ve lost family in the genocide. If this is

Over 6 hours since a CCTV footage of Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian in detention emerged, & still not a single major western media news has covered it.

The extent to which US or UK based journalists are protecting Israeli soldiers raping, destroying and committing all sorts of atrocities is astonishing. Their neglect didn’t go anywhere this far with US/UK soldiers committing the same. I really am just amazed at the complicity.

To say the Serbian government is unhinged is an understatement. A registry now exists where anyone can accuse another of eco-terrorism & they will publish our photos, personal data and label us even according to sexual orientation. Green transition? To what exactly? Dictatorship?

⁦Depletion by ⁦Shirin Rai⁩ has arrived, photographed here against the needlework done by women in our family. It is an extraordinary book, an event in Intl Pol Economy, which should change conversations about the costs of social reproduction beyond feminist circles.

Really important work by my friends at Energy Embargo for Palestine - showing how profits for energy companies are entangled in genocide. This is militant research: mapping the networks of colonial capitalism to identify enemies, like BP, and then disrupting them shado-mag.com/bp-oil-pipelin…
