Hurricane Melissa has caused 7 deaths in the Caribbean & is now a Category 5 storm set to make landfall in Jamaica where it could cause catastrophic damage. A Caribbean Hurricane Fund has now been launched to raise funds for affected islands. 🇯🇲🇭🇹🇩🇴 gofundme.com/f/CaribbeanHur…

And so to @stratfordeast with @Julia_Walton to see 'The Women of Llanrumney' by @AzukaOforka, a powerful exploration of women's experience of slavery in 18th century Jamaica and a visceral depiction of how othering is employed by colonisers. 🎭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Francesca Albanese was surprised to learn that @DavidLammy is a lawyer following his ludicrous remarks that a genocide necessitates “millions to be killed” — a clear case of genocidal denial.

I currently have no words hearing about the death of Dr Paul Stephenson. May his soul rest in peace knowing he did not just for himself but for all our rights. Heartbroken 💔 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If I had to distill the top 3 myths being aired again & again to block a conversation on reparations it would be these: Myth 1: That Britain abolished slavery around the world. Fact: Britain’s limited abolition was accompanied by the continued coercion of Black & Brown people to supply unpaid labour across the Empire.

Guyana has been clear on reparations. Grenada has been clear on reparations. Jamaica has been clear on reparations. MANY COUNTRIES HAVE. It is insulting for our PM to suggest they would want “help” (lol?!?) with other things. REPARATIONS IS NOT “HELP”. Let’s start there!!!!!!!

My @Channel4News report on Israel’s relentless pounding of northern Gaza. It took a remarkably brave and persistent cameraman to get these pictures out to us. The world cannot say that it didn’t see. Or know. channel4.com/news/israels-r…

How are anyone of us supposed to carry on as normal — go to work, watch television, read, go to the gym — while knowing that children are being burned alive in Gaza with the full knowledge and complicity of our governments?

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value. 2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger. 3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die". 4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying? 5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression. 6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc. 7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all. It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

While the world looks at Iran and Lebanon, Israeli strikes hit a school and orphanage where displaced people were sheltering. Warning, there are distressing images.
