BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

The phrase has felt to me like a parent or teacher chiding their audience for piping up when the adults have made their decision - patronising and paternalistic, feels designed to shut down scrutiny and trivialise dissent

This weekend Scotland has had dozens of marches by a religious cult that sing about killing catholics and Irish people, and are protected by the police. But if I chant "End the genocide. I support Palestine Action" I'm arrested for terrorism offences.

What a country we live in.

It feels somehow important to say that the money I receive on disability goes straight back into the economy whereas millionaires store it in offshore bank accounts 🙄

I promise that when you can’t go on I’ll be there, working. And I know that you’ll do the same for me.

Community is unstoppable. You are unstoppable. We are unstoppable.

And you’ll remember that tomorrow, however you might be feeling tonight.

I’d just like to say a sincere I see you to all the queers who completed the EHRC consultation tonight. To be put in the position where you have to beg to have the human rights abuses aimed at you take a somewhat less severe form, knowing you will be ignored, is so defeating. But we’ll keep going.

You can sell death to the IDF, but you can't chant it

Deadline is midnight tomorrow (Monday) folks, still plenty of time to get the consultation in x

This is why it's important that we collect people's responses. If you can, when you've completed the "consultation", please send your answers to TransActual - policy@transactual.org.uk - so we can ensure that government sees your answers. 1/2

Hey everyone, Trans Actual are collecting responses to the EHRC consultation because it sounds likely they're going to try and obscure them

If you saved them (a good idea if you haven't filled it in yet!) please can you email the address below with them! I personally trust Trans Actual and Helen

Every city has a Zohran Mamdani, by the way. There’s been a concerted effort to convince you that they don’t exist and you have to settle for your local Andrew Cuomo, but they’re there.

Something I found lovely about yesterday was that allies really showed up. I was in the queue for parliament with a mother meeting her MP on behalf of her trans child & a cis man meeting his on behalf of his trans brother. A father of trans kids met my MP before me. People are fighting this with us.

The French email address above bounced back - please share if you find one for any of France, Sweden, Türkiye, NL, Germany and/or I'll search more later

Freedom Flotilla Coalition The FFC is a grassroots solidarity movement of campaigns and activists across the world, working together to end the illegal Israeli blockade and siege of the Gaza Strip and for a free Palestine. Find...

In breach of international law Israeli forces have captured the activists on Madleen.

From the Freedom Flotilla Coalition Telegram:

"SOS! The volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces.
Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe!" 🧵

t.me/FFC_official...

The Madleen, a UK-flagged aid ship heading to break the illegal siege on Gaza, has been threatened by the Israeli government.

Greta Thunberg, Rima Hassan MEP & others are on board.

The UK must act: defend the ship & crew or remain complicit in Israel’s blockade, aggression & genocide.
