"I served in the Royal Air Force for 19 years. I feel it's important to be here because, whether or not you agree with the tactics of Palestine Action and others, the reality is that our government is complicit in genocide at the highest level"

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Why do they want us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)?
The Government moots leaving the ECHR as a pragmatic solution to an immigration “crisis”, but is there a more sinister motive behind the push?

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

<p>Members of a graduate student union at Cornell University voted overwhelmingly to pass a referendum in support of "the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> liberation struggle”.</p>
<p>Results were announced on Wednesday following a three-day voting period for members of the Cornell Graduate Students United (<a href="https://cgsu.org/" target="_blank">CGSU-UE Local 300</a>). The voting period ended on Tuesday. </p>
<p>The union said Cornell University supported human rights abuses against Palestinians through research and ties to the weapons industry, and the decision allows it to "join a larger movement to end the genocide in Palestine".</p>
