I mean, there’s the “lesser of two evils” argument, and then there’s… this

This is extremely worrying; the exact same tactic was used on Muslim men in Srebrenica, and we all know what happened there

What’s happening to Jerry is normal. You get older, and you feel some visceral discomfort at what people coming after you think and do. But then there’s a choice: you can presume they’re wrong, or you can realize you may not know everything and become curious.

Colonial exploitation is no longer something that only happens abroad. Our limited understanding of empire allows us to be continually exploited by the ruling class.

Grateful for this @channel4news interview about the themes of my new book #TrackRecord - full thing @ 7pm BST.

Would recommend checking out Dev Patel's directorial debut MONKEY MAN, a kind of Indian John Wick with some hugely impressive stylistic flourishes. Out in UK cinemas at the moment x

Do I have a favourite band? Why yes, I do have a favourite band. Their name is VAMPIRE WEEKEND, their new album ONLY GOD WAS ABOVE US is excellent, and that is going to be my jam this weekend, thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Solidarity with anyone marching today, but make sure to reject anyone you see saying or doing anything antisemitic - they may be a minority, but as we've seen this week that can be enough to tarnish the entire movement in some people's eyes. Be vigilant, and be safe x

Went to the cinema for the first time in aaages today to watch Alex Garland's new film CIVIL WAR, which posits a dystopian future America where law and order breaks down following states seceding from the union. Good job that will never happen eh! Thoughtful and interesting stuff

Still can’t believe we won this, just over a month ago

When these freaks were chanting 'Jews will not replace us' in Charlottesville, there wasn't a cop in sight. You can be sure we're seeing a genuinely anti-racist movement here because it's swarming with cops who are gleefully beating the protesters to a pulp.

Been listening to a lot of new music lately, but this one takes the prize. Not so much about country music alone but pretty much every American genre I can think of, milkshaked together to comment on America itself. A towering achievement, even by Beyoncé's very high standards x

Antisemitism is never acceptable. But protesting against the slaughter in Gaza is not inherently antisemitic.

It is doing what should be done on a college campus – taking a stand against a perceived wrong, thereby provoking discussion and debate. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

If this happened to me I would never stop telling people about it

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.

You will not distract us from this immoral war.

It remains a stain on Equity’s name that our union caved in to this repulsive racist and paid him money from our dues. They would have won in court, but had cowardly leadership, thankfully since changed bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

The Labour Party will not be solving the whole shit-in-rivers problem when they get into power by the way

Let’s be clear: if you are attacking or abusing Jews for being Jews, for their clothing, language, customs, or ethnicity, you’re an awful person.

You’re a bigot, an antisemite.

And you are no friend of Palestine or the Palestinians.

One final act of barbaric cruelty from this disgusting, doomed government, before they get voted out by a landslide later this year.

Sadly, I very much doubt the new people taking over will overturn this.
