πŸ“£Education International sends a strong message to #Palestinian educators after a delegation of education leaders from 15 countries was detained and interrogated for hours.

‼️Attempts to intimidate, isolate, or silence educators will only strengthen our collective determination and solidarity.

Eight worlds is brilliant but soft spot for Persistence of Vision. John took ideas from 70s/80s science and really worked with them. His work on gender fluidity was so prescient.

Was just thinking about #JohnVarley sad to hear he had passed. First read persistence of vision collection in 1978. His writing blew my mind. Been a staple since and reread his work regularly. Amazing SF author taking technology and extrapolating to the nth degree. Thank you John RIP

Proud to be a signatury on this important letter stating our resistance to the #farright and its influence on #education or on education spaces.

Education is a human right for all people and for all children. We will not allow for it to be used as a weapon to promote hate.

Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui Now that my former classmate has finally spoken about the allegations of his behaviour at school, I feel compelled to address his points directly, says Peter Ettedgui, a film director and producer

β€œ[W]hen I hear Farage talking about rounding up & deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, & threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me & telling me that β€œHitler was right”.

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays? Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s β€˜no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

β€˜β€œFarage used to say things like β€˜Hitler was right’ and β€˜gas em’, you know, that sort of thing.”’
…
β€˜β€œβ€˜Gas em all, gas em all, into the chambers they crawl. We’ll gas all the paks, & we’ll gas all the yids, & we’ll gas all the coons and all their fucking kids.’”’

I've complained to the BBC and you should as well: www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

The BBC are promoting a fascist takeover of the UK. We have to tell them that this is not acceptable.

Look if your choices are "Free Palestine" and "supporting a genocide in which journalists and children are mass murdered and hospitals and aid workers are carpetbombed" I'm pretty sure "Free Palestine" is the better, more moral, and less deadly option

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the Β£232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the Β£14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Not even a day has passed & ‼️200,000‼️ people have signed up to build something special.

From Farage to Starmer, the political establishment smears people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists.

We say: not in our name.
