UK hunger striker begins thirst strike: "They will be held to account" - EU Reports A 22-year-old Palestine Action prisoner escalates the UK’s longest hunger strike, refusing fluids to demand fair trials and transparency.

Umer's demands are:
- End all censorship
- Immediate bail
- Right to a fair trial
- Deproscribe (Palestine Action)
- Re-open the Gaza inquiry
- Release the surveillance footage from the RAF during the murders of British aid workers in Gaza in 2024

UK hunger striker begins thirst strike: "They will be held to account" - EU Reports A 22-year-old Palestine Action prisoner escalates the UK’s longest hunger strike, refusing fluids to demand fair trials and transparency.

🚨Umer Khalid is on the fourth day of his thirst strike and could die any day.

“His motivations for his demands are deeply rooted in the struggle of his comrades, the oppression of the Palestinians, and of any and all oppressed nations all over the world,” Umer's friend tells me.

For EU Reports ⬇️

It annoys me to see environmental organizations in the West say that "no country has been invaded for renewable energy" when Elon Musk literally staged a coup for lithium in Bolivia in 2019.

A green transition that continues to appropriate the resources of the Global South is not a just transition.

Even if soldiers are being "forced" to commit war crimes, it doesn't make their actions any less appalling.

Of course, joining the US military is a choice in the first place.

Mainstream media once again proving that they're lackeys of empire 🤢

#journorequest For a potential article, I'm looking for #Eurovision superfans or content creators who are no longer watching/covering the contest due to "Israel"'s inclusion. Any leads appreciated!

I've spent the past month trying to understand what's going on behind the scenes at Ottawa's Capital Pride after they mysteriously removed their Palestine solidarity statement. Thanks to @theleveller.bsky.social for publishing this!

Putting the Community Back In Pride - The Leveller By: Emma Bainbridge For many spectators, Ottawa’s annual Capital Pride march took an unexpected turn when Queers 4 Palestine Ottawa (Q4P) and their allies stopped the parade on August 24 to make deman...

Queers For Palestine #Ottawa organized a demonstration within the #CapitalPride parade. For weeks, Palestinian solidarity activists were organizing - so were politicians and pro-genocide institutions. We explain what really happened in the run-up to these events.

I searched up the officer and found out that he had been suspended for police brutality in 2012 - these are not the kinds of people who should be dealing with people in vulnerable situations!

In January, I was verbally harassed and accused of anti-police prejudice by an officer when checking in on an unhoused man being harassed by police in the Montreal metro.

Removing people from metro stations doesn't fix homelessness, and police actively harm the vulnerable people they interact with.

There's no way we can "reform" this institution #acab

The Israeli Assassination of Journalist Anas al-Sharif and Five Colleagues in Gaza City “We understand these are our last days.”

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City.

"He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent."

It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

Pride alternatives pop up in wake of Fierté Montréal controversies | Xtra Magazine Amid calls for a community-wide boycott, LGBTQ2S+ groups in the city are celebrating on their own terms

Pride season in Montreal usually means drag shows, outdoor parties and community get-togethers. This year, though, it began with a boycott.

Activist Who Helped Film “No Other Land” Shot and Killed by Israeli Settler Israeli violence in Masafer Yatta has intensified since the film won an Oscar.

A Palestinian activist who helped film the "No Other Land" documentary, Awdah Hathaleen, was shot and killed by an Israeli settler on Monday. Locals identified the killer as Yinon Levi, who was sanctioned by the U.S. and the EU for “regularly leading groups of violent extremists” in the West Bank.

International energy companies, such as BP and Chevron, are becoming increasingly involved in Israel's energy sector and therefore fuelling the genocide of Palestinians. This article offers a really good explanation of Israel's "energy diplomacy" strategy!

Love when my work allows me to dig into fossil fuel lobbyists.

City misleading public about climate benefit of trash incineration: report The city has claimed burning Toronto’s trash would result in less greenhouse gas emissions than landfilling, but a new report says that’s not true

🔥A masterclass in holding cities accountable for greenwashing by @toenviro.bsky.social

"When weighed against landfilling using the latest green energy technology, like methane gas conversion, the emission rate of incineration is as much as six times more."

One thing we’ve talked about on @theflytrapmedia.com is allowing people to sponsor posts and looking at all these amazing freelance pitches we will have to reject for purely budgetary reasons I feel like I gotta ask…anyone want to sponsor a post at The Flytrap?

U.K. lesbians are resisting state-mandated transphobia | Xtra Magazine In response to the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling excluding trans women, lesbian organizers are committed to keeping their spaces inclusive

In other news, I spoke with @xtramagazine.com about how lesbian communities have responded to the UK transphobia, and the importance of solidarity and collective action in the face of state-mandated persecution.

Hope lies with Dyke News, with Dyke Pride, and with the Lesbian Avengers!

Resisting Trump means standing against fascism, racism, and colonialism, not celebrating another settler-colonial state that's slightly "nicer" about its violence

Meanwhile the government of so-called Canada is literally trying to pass Trump-esque legislation to deport refugees and exploit Indigenous lands without consultation 🤡🤡🤡
