NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ Black and Asian staff left feeling ‘deliberately intimidated’, according to chief executive of one NHS trust

We cannot understand the emboldening of racists/fascists on the ground without centring the role of the discourse of mainstream elite

This Labour government, anything right of it and any media that does not cover them as enablers are responsible for this

Genocide 365
Microsoft 365 logo updated to support the Boycott Divestment and Sanction movement, to read "Genocide 365". Four colored squares (red, green, blue, and yellow) form a square to the left of the words. Images have been added to each of the colored squares to represent the genocide in Gaza that Microsoft is actively supporting. In the Red square there is a red airplane and a red rocket. In the green square is a crawling baby with a crosshairs symbol over its head. In the blue square is a damaged ambulance and a skeleton. In the yellow square is a damaged school and a caterpillar bulldozer.

"The video ... showed Israeli guards at the notorious Sde Teiman torture camp picking out an imprisoned Palestinian from a group and leading him to a wall. Using shields to cover what they were doing, they gang rape the prisoner."

The revelation comes as Paramount positions itself at the front of a pro-Israel backlash in the news & entertainment industry. The studio recently condemned a filmmakers’ boycott of Israeli institutions signed by Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, and Olivia Colman, among more than 4,000 others, declaring that Israel is carrying out genocide and apartheid.

The company has moved aggressively to align with Israel’s interests – acquiring Bari Weiss’s Free Press, installing Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News, firing journalists critical of Israel, and rejecting the BDS movement, which it frames as censorship rather than a human rights campaign aimed to challenge Israel’s apartheid, genocide and illegal occupation.

That alignment has a history. Leaked 2015 emails, uncovered by journalist Jack Poulson, show David Ellison was recruited by Hollywood agent Adam Berkowitz (responsible for packaging shows like Seinfeld and True Detective) to coordinate with former Israeli army chief Benny Gantz on a “Counter-BDS Initiative.” The covert plan sought to enlist entertainment insiders and private intelligence firms like Black Cube to spy on and disrupt Palestine-solidarity networks.

Ellison, a self-described Zionist, has vowed to modernize the studio for the “TikTok generation” – even as public sentiment in the U.S. shifts sharply the other way. A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll (July 2025) found a majority of Americans aged 18–24 now side with “Hamas over Israel,” while an August 2025 Quinnipiac poll found that half of U.S. voters – including 77% of Democrats and 51% of independents – believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

A line of football players staying with their arms around each others shoulders... With a mascot, I mean I have zero idea what it's meant to be, but it's definitely a mascot, standing on the end of the line. Veh respectful.

A close up of the mascot's fave, which looks too fucking happy to be properly respectful, now you look at it. Which you're sort of compelled to do. I think it may be some sort of cricket. Or other bug. Dunno.

Ok #respect fans, a request. In the spirit of "mascotsilence" on the other place, if you're at the football (or any other sport for that matter) and see mascots doing the two minute silence, do grab a picture and send it across... Fine example of the genre:
