The right (and I mean this almost across the board, globally) constantly demonstrates how you need to understand the psychology of abusers in order to understand who they are. Nothing enrages them more than believing that they are being mocked. They WILL kill you for it.

I think it's very important that Rupert Lowe's "Million Nonce March" gets widespread media coverage. Critical to amplify diverse voices.

"Learned what?" she asks

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

Using this logic, any country could invade Israel, capture Netanyahu, and bring him to the Hague to face his indictments by the International Criminal Court.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

If you reframed this as “values”, people might find it harder to pretend it’s a problem. If someone has fundamentally different values to yours, you might be less inclined to form a relationship with them. It goes beyond preference.

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

Irish rap group Kneecap calls for action in solidarity with eight pro-Palestine hunger strikers, warning the British state is using isolation and pressure to break them. As the prisoners face life-threatening conditions, Kneecap links the repression to Britain’s colonial history.

I am desperately worried for 20 yr old Qesser Zuhrah who is dangerously ill at HMP Bronzefield. It remains very unclear how soon she will be transferred to hospital.

Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.

For a long time I've been saying that the BBC is a lot more than just its current affairs and political programming, and was thus disinclined to throw the whole baby out with the bathwater. But organisations follow the shadow of those who lead them, and the BBC is infested with transphobia.
