🚨 BREAKING: NO SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE IN FINAL AIRPORT TRIAL

🔥 7 defendants blocked the security check-in at Gatwick Airport last July, and the other was arrested for filming. They have all been acquitted today!

➡️ Read the press release here: juststopoil.org/2025/06/12/g...

When the Ploughshares Women smashed up RAF planes in the 1990s, they were charged with criminal damage and found not guilty by a jury. They were not labelled terrorists.

WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION

The suggestion to consider Palestine Action as a proscribed group is a gross violation of UK law, opposes the definition of what a terrorist actually does, and insults the memories of victims both of genuine terrorism and of the genocide in Palestine.

As bombs fall & bullets fly, Kashmiris on both sides of a man-made border mourn, bleed & bury the dead.

All so Modi can secure his re-election, while Bollywood, a mouthpiece for fascism, rushes to profiteer from war.

We need voices for peace, not jingoism & death. Free Kashmir.

RFK Jr’s autism study collecting Americans’ private medical records The National Institutes of Health claims it is fulfilling RFK’s promise to find cause of autism by September

Even if "some answers as to the cause of autism would be discovered by September" to what end? I don't get the impression it's so that more funding can support them.

DAMN Borders. End Barriers! Disability and Migration Justice Conference. 28th June 2025. Collaborative activist conference between the Disability and Migration Network (DAMN) and the DPAC Crip tank. Understanding, resisting and building alternatives to territorial and internal borders that divide us and reduce our lives. Picture of a mural created by Andrew Bolton together with Disabled people seeking asylum. On the left there is a person falling from a building with a police car below. A wheelchair user is chained. A man is holding his head. A small figure is tending a grave. A fence divides these people from people sitting outside a large house. Guards with their fingers in their ears are guarding the fence. The sun is shining on that side. At the top a small row of figures is pulling the fence away.
