Gearing myself up for the annual family lunch argument

MPs just voted on a motion to remove private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break. That could pay for free school meals for *all* primary school pupils almost twice over. But Tory MPs voted it down, choosing to protect elite private schools, not improve opportunities for all kids.

This WWF ad is genius.

Stop being ignorant about white privilege. It does NOT mean you're racist. It does NOT mean your life has been easy. It does NOT mean you don't face struggles too. It means your life isn't made harder by your skin color. THAT'S IT. HAVE SOME EMPATHY. DON'T MAKE IT ABOUT YOU.

yikes

Today, I'm thinking of all those in Israel and Palestine suffering unimaginable pain, trauma and fear. The horrific attacks on civilians in Israel were deplorable. This cannot justify the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, who are paying the price for a crime they did not

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

Nothing in 2024 is gonna top this

Post this picture on Meta and it’ll be immediate deleted. The media are either refusing to tell his story or mention what Aaron Bushnell’s last words to the world were: "I will no longer be complicit in genocide” “FREE PALESTINE” RIP Aaron Bushnell
