RUG encampment started strong. Multiple zionists stopped by and harassed us, one even attacked students setting up the camp. Everyone is fine though, and the camp is supported by hundreds of students and staff in the solidarity demo. Demands are divestment and right to protest

UvA for Palestine statement on the two brutal evictions in three days — please share widely

He’d deny it, I’m sure, but Adrian Chiles is actually quite a wise man, and this is genuine wisdom.

it’s like influencer culture has given everyone a better excuse to fall back into their most prejudiced, elitist hiring patterns again. these filthy rich, staggeringly mediocre white dudes keep taking actual qualified people’s work, and it’s so so painful to watch sorry.

Benjamin Zephaniah on his refusal to accept an OBE. 'No way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire.' Rest in power.

1987: How The Sun reacted to acclaimed poet Benjamin Zephaniah applying to be a visiting fellow at Cambridge

Devastating to hear that Benjamin Zephaniah has passed. As a writer, activist and patron of PSC he always stood steadfast with the Palestinian people and fought against racism and for justice for all his life. Rest in Power ✊🇵🇸

Rest in power Benjamin Zephaniah. A hero. A role model. An inspiration.

Douglas Murray is a fascist propagandist with nothing interesting to say. He combines being utterly smug with being completely worthless that only the worst of the posh British can truly achieve.

In Gaza 180 women a day give birth ‘without adequate care, including undergoing caesareans without painkillers & being discharged, still bleeding, within hours of delivery’. The only feminist position is to protest this horror completely & unreservedly. theguardian.com/global-develop…
