Block the straight of Hormuz for a week and the world goes mad but block the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and nobody bats an eye. It’s not hard to see that this world values markets, profit and capitalism over human lives.

shout out to @premiumharam for being so real. she's so important to music rn and it is refreshing for a musician to use their platform so consistently to elevate the oppressed. australia constantly shows itself to be very aggressive on anyone not repeating the company line

@AustinKimmell One of the best pieces of artistic advice I've heard is to make it exist first, then make it perfect later.

A friend in tehran said: some stores are open n some are closed. but ALL flower shops are open cuz they cant put flowers in storage, flowers bloom no matter war or peace, makes no difference for flowers.

David Lammy losing his seat is very personal for a lot of us. If you grew up during the 2011 riots, if you grew up in Tottenham, if you had friends in Broadwater Farm, went to school in Tottenham, visited your nan in Tottenham. So even though I don't live in Tottenham, when the time comes, I will be door-knocking for the Greens as if my life depends on it.

A Palestine Action-linked hunger striker begged prison staff to call her an ambulance as she suffered worsening chest pains – but was ignored and left alone for hours on her cell floor, her friends and family have said. Qesser Zuhrah, who has not eaten for 42 days, is among eight people refusing food as they await trial for alleged break-ins aimed at disrupting Britain’s support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Lawyers representing the hunger strikers wrote to justice secretary David Lammy last week to warn that their clients may die if he does not negotiate with them. Zuhrah buzzed from her cell last week at HMP Bronzefield to ask for a nurse after she began to feel chest pain that spread to her neck and shoulder, Middle East Eye reported on Sunday. “She lay down on the floor and couldn’t get up,” said Niamh Grant, a friend of Zuhrah’s who spoke to her on the phone. “As she continued to be ignored, she then started to beg for an ambulance to come because she knew that something was happening,” added Ella Moulsdale, Zuhrah’s next of kin. A prison officer told Zuhrah to wait for a nurse, who arrived at least two hours after her chest pains started. The nurse took her vitals and gave her an electrocardiogram test. She said she would be back in 10 minutes with the test results but Zuhrah was then left alone for hours. She later buzzed prison medical staff and said, “Can you ring an ambulance? I’m scared,” but they hung up on her. “This is how people die in their cells,” Grant said. “She could barely get up to call me, and all I could do was try to call for the nurse for her, and then get back to listening to her cry in pain and struggle to breathe." The Ministry of Justice and HMP Bronzefield said they could not comment on individual cases. There have been protests supporting the hunger strikers across the UK, including rallies at several BBC offices calling for the corporation to cover the story.

Happy to burn bridges for what I believe in, those weren’t bridges they were traps

No amount of wishful thinking or "complexity" can wipe away the fact that toddlers died of entirely preventable hypothermia in Gaza over the past week. No "ideological" (read "genocidal") framing can rid Israel and its supporters of responsibility. Never again is actually now.

There are EIGHT political prisoners on hunger strikes in UK prisons for opposing the UK’s role in genocide who haven’t eaten for over a MONTH Imagine this was Iran or Russia or China — it would be all over the media cycle But British media is complicit in its silence

We are also publishing a diary excerpt from Amu Gib, one of the prisoners on hunger strike - now on their 39th day, which is well worth a read. Thank you to Amu for sharing this very personal insight into their life. thenational.scot/news/25688331.…

This is how you do Actors on Actors. These women admire e/o work, did their hmwrk, and gave flowers 💐. This was the most beautiful and intimate A/A I have seen in a long time. It was very special and whoever put them together deserves a raise. Let them pair the Actors now on.
