The irony of this … … when current USA border control policy is doing everything it can to prevent Black and Brown people entering the country. ⚽️⚽️⚽️ @franklinleonard @JamallBufford

🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees. Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare. His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

Opinion: You might have thought the world’s richest man had enough on his plate teeing up history’s biggest IPO. Yet he has been devoting many of his waking hours to stoking up racial hatred in Britain on his social media site. ft.trib.al/wsenHsI

Trumpian censorship in the UK Teacher, librarians under pressure to remove books on race, identity, social justice from libraries. 200 titles pulled from one Greater Manchester school library, including books by Black authors. What are we becoming? runnymedetrust.org/blog/eras…

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty. James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history. Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired. The wall is still empty.

Sec. Hegseth’s actions continue to be despicable – and they certainly aren’t representative of the Army I served in. We’ve repeatedly seen how this White House has disparaged and mistreated both active-duty service members and the veterans who raised their hand to serve this country. I’m glad that people are continuing to stand up and speak out. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

BREAKING: Donald Trump just filed his emergency stay in the DC circuit to keep his name on the Kennedy Center & it is batsh** crazy He clearly wrote big pieces himself We have filed our opposition, fighting for the rule of law & the American people

Meanwhile in the USA 🇺🇸 …

A judge decided that they knew better than the jury. That is not how our justice system is meant to work.

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case. It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life. The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them. Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future. The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end. Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

They took back control. And then handed it to a motley bunch of trillionaires, billionaires and multi-millionaires. Enjoy the pure air of sovereignty independent.co.uk/voices/bre…

The call for public ownership of the water industry is growing louder everyday. Why are govt refusing a referendum, why are govt refusing to allow the public to decide? megaproject.com/news/water/d…

"Falmouth MP Jayne Kirkham reform of water industry." It's incredible when you think about it, South West Water has just been fined £1.85 million for poisoning a whole town, Brixham win Devon, that's the 165th offence they're been found guilty of and yet they still have an operating licence? What's the hells going on? falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/26…

My being a Parliamentarian (and therefore trustworthy??) had no impact at all. They eventually let us in and sent some poor unwitting civil servant to accept the letter ...
