I don't mean to sound hysterical, but it's exceedingly obvious that the social media ban, the PA proscription, and the assisted dying bill are all unified moves by a government with no intention of bettering people's lives, only snuffing out dissent.

People *need* to understand this: the under-16 bans hit adults too. Whether you’re 15 or 55, your ability to speak freely and anonymously online is at risk. This. Isn’t. Just. About. Teens.
JUST IN: UK Government clarifies adults will still be able to use social media by verifying their identities with digital IDs, facial recognition, passports and credit cards.

wow i wonder why the party who cut disability benefits by 50% and are constantly trying to find means to cut welfare want to push through this policy so badly

Just to be clear: Palestinians who refuse to “voluntarily” enter this concentration camp will be MURDERED. That’s the plan. Stated openly. And people still insist with a straight face that this isn’t genocide.

So, anyone who doesn’t go to the concentration camp will be “eliminated.” Doesn’t sound genocidal at all…

You appear to tolerate criminality in the form of selling STOLEN Palestinian land at an event in London.
There is an increased police presence in Edgware this afternoon due to today’s event at Edgware United Synagogue and protest and counter-protest. Six protesters have been arrested so far for public order offences and criminality will not be tolerated.

It’s the first time in British history that protesters have been sentenced as terrorists despite not being convicted of any terror offences. It’s total bullshit.
Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

First thing I try to get students to think about in my terrorism class: the word 'terrorism' is a discursive weapon. It's the language of the state, a technology of post- criminalisation (law) which permits the brute force of sovereign power. Welcome to the law of the jungle.
🚨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.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

This is an affront to British justice & democracy. This is what Starmer, Lammy & Cooper have created in Britain: a system that represents Netanyahu & Elbit Systems rather than the interests of the British people, the vast majority of whom want to stop arms sales to Israel. The right to protest is dead, the right to an open & honest trial is dead. The right to be on the side of peace & human decency rather than genocide, is dead

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Israel has killed more Palestinians since agreeing to a “ceasefire” than Israeli civilians who were killed on 10/7
⭕️ REPORT | Israel has killed 987 Palestinians and launched more than 1,450 airstrikes and shelling attacks since agreeing to a “ceasefire” in Gaza last October Israeli forces have carried out at least 3,224 ceasefire violations across Gaza since the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News. 🔸Field Attacks🔸 Wednesday alone saw 12 armed field incidents, including repeated artillery and naval attacks across the Strip: 🔹 Israeli artillery shelled northern Gaza 🔹 Artillery shelling east of Deir al-Balah 🔹 23-year-old Faten Faisal Odeh Al-Arouqi was wounded by Israeli live fire east of Al-Maghazi Camp 🔹 Israeli warships opened fire toward the beaches and coastline of Gaza City in two separate incidents 🔹 Israeli artillery shelled northeastern Gaza City 🔹 Two civilians were wounded by Israeli warship fire west of Al-Nuseirat 🔹 Artillery shelling east of Khan Younis in two separate attacks 🔹 Ahmad Rafiq Al-Batsh was abducted by armed militias operating under the protection of the Israeli army east of Gaza City’s Al-Tuffah neighborhood The UN-backed @BoardOfPeace has not condemned a single attack. Since the “ceasefire” took effect, 987 Palestinians have been killed, including 236 children, 110 women, and 30 elderly people, while 3,109 have been wounded, nearly half of them children, women, or elderly. A total of 95 civilians have also been newly abducted. Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. Aid and movement restrictions remain severe: 🔸Rafah crossing🔸 ▪️ Only 6,674 of 19,400 planned crossings have been carried out (~34.4%) ▪️ 88 individuals have been turned back at the crossing ▪️ Gaza’s Health Ministry says roughly 20,000 patients are awaiting Israeli approval to leave the Strip for treatment abroad, and that about 10 die each day while waiting. 🔸Aid entry🔸 ▪️ Only ~36.1% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered, averaging about 217 trucks per day compared with the 600 agreed under the ceasefire ▪️ Fuel deliveries remain at just 14.7% of required levels ▪️ The WFP estimates 77% of Gaza’s population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition, amid what MSF in May 2026 described as a “manufactured malnutrition crisis.” 📸 Central Gaza, Maghazi Refugee Camp tonight (Thursday) after new Israeli air strike.

They’re actually doing mask off internet censorship. A law like this would 100% be used against social and protest movements.
Social media posts deemed to undermine “social stability” would be subject to blocking orders by a federal censor under Bill #C34 introduced yesterday. “The law applies as soon as it comes into force.” — @MarcMillerVM @CdnHeritage blacklocks.ca/censor-for-sak… #cdnpoli

It really does operate unconsciously, and it pulls us all into its reproduction. To change this does not mean self-flagellation. You don't have to punish yourself. If you help us change the situation, that voice of punishment will go away.
Your daily reminder that everyone is an agent of white supremacy until you actively learn not to be. Yes, even minorities can be both racist and victims of racism.
