‘Clear parallels’ with Windrush as UK-born toddler denied passport Campaigners say lessons not being learned as three-year-old’s mother is asked to prove right to free NHS treatment

Disgusting. Parents are British. Her older brother is British.

She’s fucking three years old and they’re denying her British citizenship, which is making her mum’s life a nightmare as a full-time carer of both of her kids.

Stop this shit. Just stop it.

A very old oak in Dereen Garden, Kerry. When it started life, the area likely still belonged to the O'Sullivan Beares, before English colonialists took it by force in the mid-17th century and cleared the rainforest.

Just like Palestine now, land theft, racist genocide, & ecocide went hand in hand.

For #IWD and #WomensHistoryMonth - the incredible Alison Neilans, who prevented sex between women being criminalised in England and Wales.
It was proposed in 1921, for cynical reasons, but would probably have become law without her prompt and effective response. (1/6)

At this stage, we’re seeing the prosecution of thousands of protesters for holding up signs supporting Palestinian Action.
The hypocrisy knows no bounds. Palestine action is a prescribed organization and so are the Loyalist gangs, but their emblems on display the north of Ireland with no arrests

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Police arrest peaceful protestors under the Terrorism Act for silently holding signs in opposition to genocide and the Palestine Action ban.

The absurd proscription was a huge political misstep that has led to over a thousand people arrested for sign holding. It must be lifted.

If you're truly an anti-Zionist who is not antisemitic, whose opposition to Jewish statehood is not an opposition to Jews living in safety and security elsewhere, you should be the very first person to decry attacks on Jews not living in Israel.

Jewish anti-Zionist activists breached the Israeli siege on Gaza from the land border before being stopped by the IDF

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,

"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"

"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

Mad watching England turn into NI

Drove past a load of loyalist terrorist organisation flags as I listen to the UK Home Secretary say support for outlawed organisations won't be tolerated 🤡

Six Just Stop Oil supporters found guilty after Judge denies all legal defences and CPS denies climate crisis – Just Stop Oil Six Just Stop Oil supporters who were denied all legal defences by the Judge and confronted with barefaced climate denial by the prosecution, were found guilty of public nuisance at Southwark Crown Co...

The world is crazy. Power protects power, and lunatics are in charge. We must all speak out when the CPS in the King’s name denies climate change as an agreed fact.

66 people were arrested outside the Labour Conference yesterday for peacefully holding signs with “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” written on them.

Hundreds of police officers were used to try to enforce Labour’s absurd ban. They failed to arrest everyone.

Sylvia Pankhurst was an inspired anti-patriarchal, anti-imperialist and communist activist and organiser whose revolutionary trajectory was stymied by the Leninists. Leninist practice negatively impacted revolutionary movements throughout the 20th century.
Don’t let it be so in the 21st century.

Trial date set for six people charged with alleged Palestine Action support The defendants are accused of arranging, managing or addressing meetings, knowing that the purpose was to support a proscribed organisation.

Each defendant spoke to confirm their names in the dock during a preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey.

Nixon remained standing in the dock throughout the hearing… holding a white banner with the words “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”.

Was the technicality that there was no terrorism?

A screenshot of two X posts. The first post is from Tom Morello (@tmorello), timestamped 7 hours ago, with a profile picture showing a person in a colorful outfit. The text reads: "What the f*ck is wrong with these people. Wounded Knee was a bloodthirsty massacre of Lakota Sioux, including dozens of women and children." The second post is from Secretary of War Pete (@username), timestamped 9 hours ago, with a profile picture of a man in a suit. The text reads: "Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled." The second post includes an image of a man in a suit standing in front of an American flag and an official seal, appearing to give a formal statement.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

I want a government that asks 'how can we make things better for people?' not 'how can we make things harder for those people you don't like?'

Assata Shakur, political activist and ex-Black Liberation Army member, has died Assata Shakur “died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age,” according to Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."

She was 78.

I spent the afternoon in the woods, in a haze of peace and loveliness. Then came home and heard on the news an Irish doctor working in Gaza describe the clearly systematic, mass targeting of Palestinian children by Israeli snipers.

It's just crazy making. How can such pure evil exist in the world?

This is going to go down well in Northern Ireland

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Kenya transgender rights victory hailed as African first QNews LGBTIQA+ News

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

Time series of standardized streamflow anomaly for the Ganga River from year 700 to 2020 (derived from a hydrological model and from the Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas built from tree rings). The plot shows mostly balanced wet (blue/green bars) and dry (brown bars) years until the 20th century, when the black moving-average line dips sharply after 1990. The 1991–2020 mean (blue horizontal line) is well below the range of previous 1,300 years. Orange dots mark major documented historical droughts, but the recent drying is clearly the most severe.

Observed changes in precipitation and temperature between 1951 and 2020. Spatial distribution of change in (A) annual precipitation (%) and (B) annual mean temperature (°C) between 1951 and 2020 based on the Sen’s slope calculation. Grids with statistically significant trends (P <= 0.05), based on the Mann–Kendall test, are highlighted with stippling. The Inset panels in (A) and (B) represent the interannual variability in precipitation anomaly (%) and temperature (°C) averaged for the Ganga River Basin (blue boundary). The total change in average precipitation and temperature over the GRB during 1951−2020, estimated using the Sen’s slope, is statistically significant (P-value <= 0.05) based on the Mann–Kendall test.

🚨New work🚨 led by Ph.D. student Dipesh Chuphal (IIT Gandhinagar), shows that the recent drying of the Ganga River basin is unprecedented in 1,300 years—more severe than historical famines. This ~multidecadal drying appears forced, but many models do not capture it. ☔️ 🌧️

Repost anything except anymore news pieces about genocidal countries recognizing Palestine while helping to ethnically cleanse it. Please. We can't take it anymore.

Ademólá. @OgbeniDemola White people in South Africa still cannot speak Zulu even after settling there for almost four hundred years. Keir Starmer @Keir Starmer 10h If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That's common sense. So we're raising English language requirements across every main immigration route

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
