Solidarity in action✊️🇵🇸

The sacrifices that are asked of you as a working class creative in TV and Film are mammoth, even those as simple as access to classes, having equipment to film, speaking the language of funding apps...
Too much to factor in that's based on money before you even get to talent.

Yeh, a real stand-up guy

Sunny Singh Sam Missingham Never trust a journalist who makes up stories. Disgrace to their profession. Hari’s like Boris. Been caught lying, or just not doing his job properly, time and time again and keeps failing upwards.

Rhetorical question: why do they keep painting King Charles?

Hard to tell. They also back him with a lot of marketing and publicity, so I guess he probably does sell. You'd think quality control would kick in at some point.

I quit my job earlier this month because I could no longer justify publishing stories that required framing Zionist perspectives as reasonable. This is not journalism, it’s propaganda designed to carry water for fascists.

How did we let this happen? Fuck Israel

Again, I repeat: it is truly astonishing what the West is willing to do to allow Israel to continue its genocide.

How has the Israel lobby become this powerful? It is truly terrifying.

If you're LGBTQ+, Labour is not your friend.

Israeli police disguised as religious Jews infiltrate the anti-Zionist Orthodox Mea Shearim neighborhood to arrest a man demonstrating against the state.

This is the “mistaravim” tactic, long used against Palestinians, now turned against Jews. No one is safe under Zionism.

Good thread of who is responsible for publishing & platforming Johann Hari.

Idea: stop publishing shit books by Johann Hari?

*whistles* Just another average white man who keeps falling upwards. Publishing LOVES them.
