The resistance shall be inflatable! Such a serious issue but I'm glad the protesters of Portland are having fun and making fun of ICE

This just confirms what we've known all along

Security Services assessed that Palestine Action was not a threat to national security but the pro-Isreali-funded Keir Starmer, Home Secretary and Labour MPs went over the heads of MI6 and voted anyway to proscribe a non-violant direct action group

BBC Four - Storyville, The Librarians Documentary about the US librarians who are risking their safety to defend free speech.

It’s Banned Books Week. This documentary is terrifying and you should watch it. It’s about the far right targeting librarians (including with violence). I know teachers in 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 who have been targeted. The homegrown fascists use this playbook #TheLibrarians www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

@markbradley.bsky.social I owe you a gift! Creating the scene of a comic to test the writing skills I've been teaching this term & used your great how to draw a Bugbop sheet yet again! The class loved creating their characters. That's 3 years in a row I've used them, thank you! #EdySky #UKKidLit πŸ‘πŸ‘

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

No mention of the fact that it's her boyfriend?
So he's saying he's in favour of a large immigrant population and Sharia law? Bold take for Reform πŸ€”
Why do I think he's more in favour of the reduced rights for women & LGBTQ people and few workers rights for poor people 🫀

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

From Christian Concern and Sex Matters to the LGB Alliance, UK anti-Trans+ groups share ideological and strategic links with US organisations like ADF and the Heritage Foundation

What’s unfolding is a coordinated global effort to erode individual freedom, crush liberation, and control our bodies

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

β€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

I know Greta Thunberg said the story isn't about her.

But it's really important she speaks out and tells exactly what abuse she received.

When the world sees what Israel is capable of doing to her, they will know the horrors they inflict on Palestinians are all true.
