BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Protests in Morocco have entered their sixth day after three people were killed near Agadir.

Zack Polanski shames Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood

"Shabana Mahmood is being deeply irresponsible"

"Conflating protests against a genocide in Gaza and weaponising that against an antisemitic attack on our streets, a terrorist attack, is deeply irresponsible"

Those who have claimed asylum from violence or trafficking or state persecution or war should not be spoken of as lottery winners.

Shame on Keir Starmer.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

It’s quite do-able from a legal perspective. I don’t think dismissing Reform in this way is wise. Voters need to understand that this stuff can happen if they vote for it - and that it would be morally, socially, culturally, economically disastrous. So they shouldn’t vote for it.

Trump says he specifically requested that Sadiq Khan be excluded from the UK state banquet:

"On immigration, he's a disaster."

As mayor of London, Khan has no powers over immigration.

Oui, Trump décide qu'une idée est terroriste.
Et non, ce n'est pas parce qu'il est débile qu'il confond une idée avec une organisation.
C'est pour pouvoir qualifier de terroriste tout ce qui l'arrange quand ça l'arrange, et c'est exactement ce qu'on fait ici aussi.

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

Illustration à la plume et encre sur papier jauni.

Au centre figure un faisceau de licteur d'où émergent deux haches par le bas, et au sommet duquel est posé bonnet phrygien.
Sur les côtés, quatre drapeaux rouges pendent de quatre hampes à pointe de lance. Elles se joignent à leur base où figure un triangle dans lequel brille un œil sur fond jaune.

En haut est écrit "1848 République démocratique et social"
En pied est inscrit: "Nul n'a droit au superflu tant que chacun n'a pas le nécessaire"

The Bomber's View of the Past Discover the influence of Antoine Poidebard on aerial archaeology and his complex role in French colonial history.

I've written a piece about the bomber's view of the past: how aerial archaeologists of the Middle East have looked at the region's past through the eyes (and lenses) of people who bomb it in the present. In fact they're sometimes the same people.

Professors can no longer talk about “gender”—but it’s fine to lust after, objectify, and exploit pre-pubescent and underage girls in Trump’s America.
