Let’s remember what Jo Cox said IN FULL and not what the trash More In Common foundation edited it down to.

Newcastle United's owner has a journalist executed for reporting on the dictator's family's corruption. Howay the lads. cpj.org/2025/06/saud...

Iranian writer Sahar Delijani “If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it’s not freedom you’re after.” Hear, Hear.

British women are being jailed and shamed under archaic abortion laws. After more than a century and a half, this week, MPs could vote to change that. My col. on decriminalising abortion - and giving tens of millions of women a genuine right to choose. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The time to think about preventing this was ten years ago, lads. When you threw that long heel-drumming tantrum demanding we bring these people back, you locked us all into doing whatever America wants us to do, but I guess at least you got to feel like you’d won something.

Still so pleased with this piece I had in @newrepublic.com‘s June issue. I delved deep on a campus controversy, the buzzwords it came cloaked in (“islamogauchisme”) and how the affair exemplifies a broader illiberal assault on higher ed newrepublic.com/article/1946...

Wake Up babes, new astroturf group just droppped (From a legal case digest I get the emails to but don't pay to subscribe to so no link)

Government policy is to grow the gambling industry. That means more addiction and more suicide. Time for a rethink. - @endgamblingads.bsky.social & @mzc.bsky.social

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As you listen to U.K. politicians telling you about Israel’s rights and U.K. military asserts in the region remember you are being gaslit to prepare to send sons and daughters to assist a man who is wanted for war crimes and is pursuing genocide and war crimes with impunity.

"At least 59 Palestinians have been killed on Sunday. 17 of them were trying to collect food. Hunger's driving people to aid distribution points but Israeli gunfire is pushing many of them back"

the radicalization of the INTERNATIONAL right is a major story no mainstream journalists can/want to touch at all. politicians get murdered, public events attacked, and every time the analysis starts and ends at "lone wolf" and "disturbed individual" and whatever

Quite a few of the younger Palestinian men who message me are being more or less forced to play the first round of Squid Game just to get flour and are too traumatised to even explain what they've seen.

"Witnesses said Israeli forces opened fire around dawn toward crowds of desperate Palestinians heading to two aid sites in the southern city of Rafah."

This is why only idiots and cultists overestimate numbers for demonstrations which they support. Truth is on the side of the proletariat.

Reminds me of when Popski's Private Army did this in 1944 with a nazi tank regiment. Good clean fun.

If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament. Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

8 years later and not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell, even though a report a year ago listed all the people involved, and what they did or didn't do. They don't want to convict them, because they are rich.

Three members of the Madleen team—Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes—are still illegally detained by Israel and may be held for another month. Arrested unlawfully in international waters and denied basic rights,

Yr man O Reilly seems like a nice guy, and i agree with him on a bunch of stuff, but equally important, given his line of work, he can write really well. Metre in this is just lovely.

Democracy not even an afterthought here, not even a fig leaf of public consent. There’s simply no need to even pretend the public have a role any more.

In some respects early 1920s Italy was in a better position than 2025 USA is.

Israeli attacks kill at least 72 people in Gaza since dawn - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-attacks-kill-least-72-people-gaza-dawn

"Empire City ultimately presents as a rich social history of policing in New York City bolstered by various sociological frames. More than a book about racist policing, it argues the urban police department was a unique “racemaking” mechanism." A review of my book is finally in the AHR!

Matteotti moment.
