Australian public servants call on government to ‘cease supplying all military parts and weapons to Israel’ theguardian.com/australia-news…

Treating Palestinians who have barely escaped their extermination as 'visitors'. As if Palestinians are arriving from Gaza to take tourist selfies at the Opera House and go on an adventure on a ferry. It bears repeating every hour of every day: White supremacy and

“Open letter by Gaza academics and university administrators to the world: We call on our supporters to help us resist the Israeli campaign of scholasticide and rebuild our universities.”

Look we all know representational politics is bullshit. But the fact Labour cannot even meet the basic threshold of a diverse front bench - and is even making moves to make their PLP whiter. It’s like they are wearing their institutional racism as a badge of honour.

A mother out canvassing with her new born infant, six weeks after a c-section, finding out over email that she’s been barred from standing as a candidate in her home seat because of innocuous tweets. Don’t vote Labour.

Don't let the Labour party take the Black vote for granted. After #Gaza I had decided not to vote for them for the 1st time but #DianneAbbott is the icing on the cake. Malcolm warned us whether you trust the Wolf (Tories) or the Fox (Labour) you 'still end up in the doghouse'

#BrokenLadders shows that women of
colour are significantly more likely to report being
criticised for behaviours at work that other colleagues get away with - 40% of women of colour, compared with 27% of white women.

Solidarity with Faiza Shaheen. Labour’s treatment of women of colour (see also Diane Abbott), and of anyone with a conscience, marks the party as morally repugnant. What an appalling move!

“Black women don’t get to make light of their gaffe-making, impulsive remarks or off-colour comments. They don’t get to have bad days. Anything short of exemplary personal behaviour would result in public retribution & humiliation.” And here we are. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Biden has no red line because he doesn't think Palestinians are human.

Yesterday I saw a baby’s charred body and a boy scream in agony as his father burned in a tent. Today I saw Biden officials bend international law and the English language to defend those horrors.

It’s painfully clear there was no red line. They’re aiding a genocide…by choice.

No justice until Western leaders are prosecuted and held criminally responsible for enabling the war crimes we are watching in Gaza.

Let’s be clear, Starmer’s treatment of Abbott has been a racist public humiliation spectacle. Yes, it’s due to his own misogynoir, but it’s also electoral strategy, contributing to the decades of abuse, bullying & dehumanisation from our media & political class & broader public

Translation - Labour want to get rid of the first black female MP but they don’t want to do it in an absurdly racist way, so they’re trying to do it in a backhandedly racist way.

Run as an independent Diane Abbott - this is no longer the party you joined

I have little time for big name, media adored White Feminists but my list of feminist scholars who have steadfastly refused to say a word grows longer each day.
My personal BDS means: never citing them or appearing at events or otherwise engaging with them

The image of Diane Abbott standing 40 times to speak and being ignored every time while others discussed her will endure as a damning and definitive portrait of our squalid, vacuous, misogynistic, racist politics.

I really think the word 'complicity' to describe the American role in Gaza rhetorically diminishes the actual extent of our country's involvement. For every horror, every massacre, every atrocity perpetrated by Israel, the U.S. government bears *direct reponsibility*.

We are living in an age of denial. Denial of a genocide. Denial of an ongoing pandemic. Denial of a climate crisis.

Acknowledging reality is an act of rebellion.

Rafah doesn’t need our eyes. It needs our voices and our hands. MOBILIZE. ORGANIZE. ADVOCATE. MOVE.
