‘It’s tantamount to Germany not apologising for the Holocaust.’ @aljhlester lays out the case for why the UK should offer reparations to countries affected by the slave trade.

Hasan Piker banned from entering Britain. Sally Rooney unable to sell her books here. Now Andreas Malm barred from the country. All for speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. This is Andy Burnham’s Britain. An authoritarian Labour government that continues to arm a genocide while criminalising those who dare to oppose it. Shame on them all.

Dear Friends, allies, and supporters, All free and open access! The new Islamophobia Studies Journal Volume is out with a solid collection of articles. I would like to ask you for the following: 1. Amplify the research and publications by visiting the Scienceopen : scienceopen.com/journal-issu… 2. Follow the page, like the content, and share it with your network. 3. Recommend the articles to your circle and share with the institutions that are connected to whether it is a company, school, university or a community organization. I am sharing an article below from the new volume: Rising Anti-Palestinian and Anti-Muslim Racism in Canada: A National Study of Muslim Youth Experiences During the Genocide in Gaza, Palestine Author: Siham Elkassem scienceopen.com/hosted-docum…

In researching my new book, Requiem for Gaza, I discovered how Israel systematically targeted and killed the Palestinian professional class (such as doctors and journalists), an obvious genocidal tactic.

If capitalism worked as it's supporters claim then Evri wouldn't exist (in the UK it's the worst by far & that's a low bar). The fact Evri exists says that capitalism is not about good service but doing things as cheapskate & badly as they can get away with whilst charging lots

British Library staff are “furious” about the flagship institution’s plan to repurpose some of its reading rooms as paid-for workspaces, which “goes entirely against the British Library’s key function”, according to a union leader. Frances Jones reports [Link in comments]

Wow. Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s complicity in genocide has now surpassed 50k. We are half way there to forcing a debate in Parliament. Make it happen by signing the petition now: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

The latest footage from Gaza. It wasn't just Israel who did this. The West did this. We will never scrub the shame away.

The university crisis is one of the most ignored issues in British politics and was barely mentioned this week. This is essential from @gsoh31 for @ArguablyMag on how underfunding, marketisation and managerial incompetence created an avoidable disaster – and how it can be fixed. arguably.uk/p/how-to-save-br…

“Anti-Semitism” is when people don’t want to watch my racist film. I am very smart.

Dear friends and readers of Mada, We have been silent over the past two days, in shock at what happened in court on Tuesday but also in an attempt to organize ourselves for what looks like it will be an ongoing battle.

iPhone duo indeed
