what's it called when you watch yourself wasting away your precious time but feel unable to stop

Her employer - University of Portsmouth - reported her to Prevent!!! I want every white academic who doesn’t believe us when we say academia is a hostile space to read this. And speak up, you cowards!!!

After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. This is what he should say, and why he won't say it. This week’s column theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"It's actually quite clear, even what you see in open source, on the TV, that Israel is perpetrating war crimes" – suggests that the classified info the govt holds about the war even more conclusively incriminates Israel – and by extension the UK – than what's in the media

A laughable charade. 1. The US presents an Israeli ceasefire initiative as its own and rams it through the UN Security Council. 2. Contrary to US-Israeli expectations Hamas accepts the initiative. 3. Israel responds by rejecting adding new conditions to its own initiative,

Worrying development on the targeting of founder of MD and investigative journalist Samantha Asumadu please do share. thecanary.co/editorial/2024…

This is an outrage, and part of a pattern of escalating repression against people who have been forced by the (at absolute best) utter indifference of the state and uselessness of approved politics to take direct action in the service of very basic, clear moral obligations.

A simple thing that you can do if you are feeling helpless & you desperately want to materially help people in Gaza is to 'adopt' a fundraiser & share it regularly online & irl. I will link below some campaigns that are new or have struggled to gain much momentum. Please share:

We've known from the start that 🇮🇱 has been using its F-35 aircraft - of which 15% of each plane is made in the UK - in its genocidal war on Gaza. Now, for the first time, Danwatch have found definite evidence that an F-35 was used in a specific attack caat.org.uk/news/investiga…

Coming round to the fact that likes not being public is a major W. A shame not to be able to out celebs as racists/transphobes/porn addicts, but I'm not trying to be reported to Prevent either.

There is no evidence Hamas used sexual violence as a weapon of war and literal video evidence of the IDF using sexual violence as a weapon of war. Reading these headlines—same outlet, same journalist—you would think the situation is completely reversed

Marieha Hussain has been found: NOT GUILTY!!!!!! #CoconutTrial

forever being burned by the fact that 'having done work' (perhaps my favourite thing) requires 'doing work' (horror upon horror)

What Israel has just done is, via *any* method, reckless. They blew up countless numbers of people who were driving (meaning cars out of control), shopping (your children are in the stroller standing behind him in the checkout line), et cetera. Indistinguishable from terrorism.

Todays massive terrorist attack across Lebanese by thr state of Israel, reminds of an important point: zi*nists introduced terrorism to the region. They were the first to plant bombs in market places, offices, etc. Their state is founded on this violence. It knows nothing else.

I don't even mean this hyperbolically. Here's Edward Said talking about it in the 80's:

this premise is wrong because no “Israel” does not have the right to conduct a terrorist attack in the middle of another sovereign Arab nation and kill anyone combatant or civilian alike. a 10 year old was killed but I guess Arabs are collateral damage for these people

A victim was rushed to be triaged in ER with his intestines out!! We tried to stabilize him until we could finally take him to OR. I had to remove bandages only to find no eyeballs in place. I saw people slaughtered for the first time. Can one ever recover from such sight?

Israel targeted every person with this commercially available pager in Lebanon. Over 3,000 people suffered injuries, many are dead. Doctors, nurses, emergency workers, met violent deaths or have some of the most grisly injuries they’ll live with forever. Israel is a monstrosity.
