We are witnessing the first livestreamed genocide in history.
Those who facilitate these crimes against humanity should face accountability β not those who have the humanity to oppose them.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The legal duties on the UK to prevent genocide cannot wait for a court to tell the UK Government that a genocide has already happened. I've signed alongside more than 800 of my fellow legal academics, practicing lawyers and retired judges:

Journalists in the US and UK, when are you going to speak up about your 173 journalist and media worker colleagues dying in Gaza and stop pretending what's happening over there is still controversial? Shame on you watching your colleagues die for doing their damn job, which you are failing to do.

The university leadership must have considered a potential hit to their endowment before deciding to fight back. It's not their public service graduates that can afford to provide financial support in times like this, unfortunately.

I met an American lady from Michigan in a London pub tonight and she told me she loved Trump because he was "changing things up," and I was mostly just rather impressed that she even had a passport.

A huge anti-ErdoΔan protest tonight in Istanbul, defying a four day national ban on protests, to denounce the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
"Break down those barricades without harming the police. Take to the streets and squares", Ozgur Ozel, an opposition leader, told protesters.

Noise: The invisible killer in all our lives
The BBC's James Gallagher investigates the invisible killer all around us.
This discusses Dhaka as the noisiest city in the world, and how that noise has a severe impact on health - super interesting to think about, and raised a few questions in my mind on measurement and such - also, here's a related 20 minute podcast that I'll link below. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israeli police raid Palestinian bookshop in East Jerusalem twice in a month
Books about Banksy and by Noam Chomsky and Ilan PappΓ© were removed, and one of the owners detained
βThey chose books by the cover, taking books that had a Palestinian flag, or just the word Palestine in the title.β Listening to the interview of co-owner on BBC Newshour now, it continues to blow my mind how far Israel security forces will go - and get away with. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
