It is so hard to do anything independent and creative in the UK outside of the confines of capitalism. Maybe even impossible?

Israel just carried out one of the worst massacres of LGBTQ people in history:
Israel's attack on Tehran killed 100 transgender people held in Evin prison They were inmates who lived in a trans section of the jail destroyed by the Israeli attack This is on top of the 79 Iranians confirmed killed in Israel's attack on the prison This is HORRIFIC

You can repair a plane. You can replace a broken window. But you can’t bring back the dead. We must defend the right to protest. Solidarity with Palestine Action 🇵🇸

“In what circumstances could civil disobedience ever be justified if not now? I can only say that I admire and support Palestine Action wholeheartedly – and I will continue to, whether that becomes a terrorist offence or not.” — Sally Rooney

If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

A huge shame
AFRICAN STREAM IS CLOSING DOWN This is, sadly, a farewell to you, our loyal followers and supporters. Under relentless attack, we’ve made the painful decision to shut down African Stream—a platform that many of you’ve come to trust and love. This decision was not made lightly.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.
#bbclaurak asked the govt minister who's behind @Pal_action & if there's foreign influence? Then, when @zarahsultana talks about being worried about the govt proscribing the group, LK states the minister is worried about who's behind the group See how it works. This is LK's job

As Israel drops bombs on their city, the children of Tehran will not grow up to thank the IDF for liberating them from the totalitarian regime because they will be dead

Is there a live band doing hard rock covers because bands like Metallica etc wouldn't give their permissions for their music to be used?

They've gone ahead with this clown show despite a member of the US government having been assassinated earlier that morning. Trump's lack of response yet another wake-up call for anyone somehow still sleeping

A weekend spent listening to the wonderful words and voices of Alexia Arthurs, Danez Smith, Kei Miller and Thabile Makue has made me so glad to be alive and writing. Thank you Calabash, what a blessing. Black queer writing always always

Unsurprised that this wotless man wasn't satisfied with plunging my generation and younger into irreconcilable debt. Once you get a taste of being a bastard the flavour sticks, you must carry on destroying lives and everything worth living for! He can rot
