The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground. Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground. War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

Hundreds outside Parliament right now to demand MPs oppose the government's attempts to give police new powers to effectively ban repeat protests. This is a deliberate attack on the movement for Palestine. 🇵🇸

The numbers are out.. Girls sexually assaulted by transgender people in UK toilets: 0. Women and girls sexually assaulted by men in the UK every year: over 160,000. (Source: ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales) So why are we still letting bigots spread fear about the wrong people? Why is anyone more outraged by a trans woman washing her hands than by the fact a woman is raped every five minutes in this country? It’s not about safety. It never was. It’s about control. It’s about hatred. It’s about distraction. These people don’t want to protect anyone. They want someone to punish. We see it. Trans people are not going anywhere.

🚨 Sign the petition - Defend the right to protest The government has made a draconian new proposal to give police powers to effectively ban protests based on their ‘cumulative impact’. The right to protest must be defended – demand the government abandon the proposal today: palestinecampaign.eaction.or…

This needs MASSIVE Coverage and got lost in all the news. Israel has revoked the licenses of 37 international aid organisations, forcing them to stop operations in Gaza as of TODAY, due to new rules. This video explains the side effects of this decision, and it is HORRIFIC.

Gaza is slowly disappearing from the headlines. We can’t let it. Israel is still killing Palestinians. The “ceasefire” is a fiction.

Excl: Trans people can be questioned over their biological sex and ultimately banned from single-sex spaces based on how they look, statutory guidance submitted to ministers says. The Times has been leaked the final EHRC guidance submitted to the govt almost three months ago. It says that questions can be raised over a person’s biological sex based on how their physical appearance, their behaviour, or concerns from others. Questions must be handled sensitively. If there are still doubts over whether someone is telling the truth, those running services must take into account “relevant factors” and can still choose to exclude them if they believe it is necessary. The guidance also drops a suggestion from the draft document that people could be asked to produce documents to prove their sex. It says “there is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex” because people can change their sex on passports and driving licences without the need for a gender recognition certificate. thetimes.com/article/82eecc4…

🚨Contribution and citizenship.⁣ The Home Secretary has outlined plans to overhaul the rules for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). We're extremely concerned that this will create a two-tier system that punishes people for needing support.⁣ 1/🧵

PLEASE SHARE I got removed from Shell’s AGM for simply telling their shareholders the truth about Shell’s destruction of the health and lives of people in the Niger Delta in Nigeria (where the life expectancy is only 41 years of age because of Shell’s extraction there) (1/2)

Release them from detention. Release everyone from unending immigration detention. Brutalising people for clicks.
Rishi Sunak confirms that Rwanda flights will NOT take off before the election. "If I'm elected I'll get the flights off...after the election," he tells @LBC. He says preparations for the first flights will "go on" regardless of the election. This is after Home Office officials and lawyers warned ministers last night it was "very very unlikely" they could get flights off during the election campaign.

House to house manhunt for black Africans takes toll in Tunisia 🇹🇳. In the last two weeks a door to door and street collection of any dark skinned persons even those identified as Tunisians are crammed into police vans & deported to the eastern border regions. Women, men and children are caught and deported without any of their possessions, documents, savings and other materials they have worked for and accumulated over the years. Most of those arrested during the house to house raids are legally entitled to stay in Tunisia, they are students, workers and refugees. These people have committed no crimes but the Tunisian government have taken it as his political power to scapegoat Refugees and Sub-Saharan Africans for his failed dictatorial regime under the pretext of demographic change and great replacement theory. The African Union is silent while the so—called democratic European countries with their values for human rights are the very ones supporting and financing Kaïs Saeid to act as the border guard of the Fortress Europe. This must STOP🛑
