I also want to let people know that - although the media gives huge amounts of focus to the Reform, they only have 4 seats. The Greens have more than them (6, but still).

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be complacent, but like. Lmao, those guys are losers.

Yeah, remember when UKIP was predicted to take the election by storm? And that threat forced the tories under David Cameron to offer the EU referendum?

Reform is designed to push Labour further right. They are succeeding with only 4 seats because the media in this country is shit.

An 83-year-old priest and a human rights lawyer were among around 25 people arrested for holding signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” in Parliament Square today.

The action, by protest group Defend Our Juries, was the first organised challenge to the proscription of Palestine Action, which came into effect at 00.01 this morning.

This is the first time a non-violent, direct action group has been designated a terrorist organisation in the UK.

In an open letter sent to Met police commissioner Mark Rowley on Friday, Defend Our Juries outlined its plans. “We would like to alert you to the fact we may be committing offences under the Terrorism Act tomorrow, Saturday 5 July, in Parliament Square at about 1pm,” it said.

It portrayed the action - which it said would be nonviolent and pose “no risk whatsoever of anyone being harmed” - as both a challenge to the ban and a test of how it will be enforced.

“If we cannot speak freely about the genocide that is occurring, if we cannot condemn those who are complicit in it and express support for those who resist it, then the right to freedom of expression has no meaning, and democracy and human rights in this country are dead,” it said.

Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, told Novara Media the group was “testing the law”. She said she wasn’t afraid of being arrested. “I know that we are in the right place doing the right thing,” she said. “As my friend Ruth always says, ‘we cannot be bystanders’.”

Minutes later, police began making arrests.

Palestine Action applied to pause the ban in the high court yesterday, but lost both a hearing and an appeal shortly afterwards.

Speaking to the Guardian on Friday, Raza Husain KC, representing Palestine Action founder Huda Ammori, described the decision as “an ill-considered, discriminatory and authoritarian abuse of statutory power”.

The Met did not respond to Novara Media’s request for comment.

Speaking of, I need everyone to refuse to play along with thr silly name they gave their horror camp in the swamp. It's not "Aligator Alcatraz." It's "Ron DeSantis' Concentration Camp" or "Trump's Concentration Camp."

Call it what it is. Alcatraz, as shit as it was, was a regular prison for people who had trials. This is not that. This is a deliberately cruel death camp.

Edited to add, as i was just reminded, that some people were sent to Alcatraz for made-up "crimes." So actually, still do not call it that because *the regime and its associates* chose the name to be clever and not brutal. But also remember that "criminal" means whatever they want it to mean.

its fascinating when shows go "this character does not have sex" and you can just watch the fans minds just start going "well he doesnt have sex, therefore hes asexual, and as we all know, asexuality is a spectrum, and some asexuals actualy do have sex, and therefore he is probably having tons of crazy sex literaly every time he isnt on screen"

what they dont tell you about being loudly transgender is sooner or later someone will say you helped/were the reason they transitioned and you just have to. sit with that for a while and how wonderful it is that a person can inspire others to take better care of themselves like that. the louder you are the better, you help strangers more than you know

i think one of the best parts about being a teenager in the early to mid 2010s was that cigarettes were definitely not cool anymore and vapes hadn’t popularized yet so my lungs made it out of my peak impressionable years relatively unscathed
