Three of the kidnapped Irish participants on the Global Sumud Flotilla arrived home to a huge welcome last night. They talk about why they tried to break apartheid Israel's illegal siege of Gaza, acting because our governments refuse to. #FreePalestine #LiftTheSiege

How do you know your city is a healthy habitat for people? A decent place to start is whether children can play freely in their neighbourhoods and get around independently.

This is an excellent introduction to Tim’s work and the benefits of shifting away from car centric urban spaces.

The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · 8d

New episode up! We talked with researcher Tim Gill about how we need to make our cities safe for children, not cars. "Children are basically living very captive and kind of contained lives, and that's just not healthy."

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action.
"to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb
