Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

a thumbnail for a YouTube video with a shiny face in the foreground and a low floored yellow train in the background, text over the top says boldly: WE ACTUALLY WON

So @railnatter.uk recently put out a new episode on level boarding - as both Northern and ScotRail confirm that their new fleets will be low-floored to enable level boarding, it's worth stating: WE WON.

It will be very difficult for new fleets not to be LB-ready now 🏆

So we're going to force brown people to do unpaid labour against their will? The british do have previous on this one, but I think we gave it another name.

Maybe it's just because I've had a very busy couple of days and am exhausted, but watching Mae Martin play an openly trans character in their own Netflix drama has me quite emotional.

I'm only 20 minutes in so this isn't a recommendation as such, but I wanted to voice how important it feels.

BATTLE AWAITS. HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

It's so strange to me how the absolutely core question at the heart of politics - "what kind of society do we want to live in?" - is so absent from discussion, either assumed settled or reduced to meaningless generalities.

U.K, Canada and Australia formally recognize a Palestinian state, breaking with the U.S. The announcements Sunday marked a significant shift in foreign policy, with several other European nations and U.S. allies set to follow suit in the coming days.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

I'm going to provide my own definition of "sanitisation" (i.e. "to ensure a thing is not harmful"), since it's often used pejoratively. I'm planning to talk about the importance of representation in children's literature and why I feel it is regressive to think children need to be "toughened up".

This House Regrets the Sanitisation of Children's Literature

This feels very odd to say, considering when I was at university I went to one (1) debating society meeting and hated it, but - I'm going up to Scotland on Thursday to take part in a debate!

A 'unity rally' at Glasgow’s Buchanan Street steps protesting against immigration was drowned out by counter protesters

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says The panel finds that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out against Palestinians during the war.

In an incredibly detailed report (it's almost 80 pages, tiny font), a top independent human rights commission has concluded Israel is committing genocide. The Pillay Commission report was released today (I'm still working my way through it) www.bbc.com/news/article...

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

This is what allyship looks like, btw. Recognizing what’s happening in real time and actively countering it.

Protests expected as 51 Israeli arms makers among exhibitors at London trade fair Campaign Against Arms Trade says UK government has hit ‘peak complicity in genocide’ in allowing the firms to exhibit

Protests are inevitable as 51 Israeli arms companies are among the exhibitors tomorrow at the DSEI arms fair. Netpol plans to monitor the police response on the ground, from 8am at the Excel Centre, London E16 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

This is why it is really fucking important for people to fight this, look how fast and how far these kinds of laws and organization can just erase content that is perfectly legal and like normal for people
