"Britain’s mainstream media have not carried out a single investigation into the extent, impact or legal status of the more than 500 surveillance flights over Gaza that the RAF has carried out since December 2023.

The Ministry of Defence continues to insist that the operations, carried out by Shadow R1 aircraft based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, are designed purely to assist with the discovery of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October 2023.

It appears that Britain’s obedient defence correspondents have no appetite to challenge this or even to raise the slightest concern about the legal or ethical implications of providing intelligence support to Israel in the middle of a genocide.

Yet thanks to dogged work by campaigners, independent journalists and pro-Palestine MPs, we know both that the flights are continuing to operate (as they did even throughout the ceasefire) and that spikes in the number of flights have coincided with especially deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The lack of curiosity on the part of mainstream media is perhaps not surprising but it is deeply troubling."

Whatever the outcomes of Netanyahu’s visit to the White House on Monday and the latest scenario for a ceasefire in Gaza, a bilateral policy of genocide has united the Israeli and U.S. governments in a pact of literally breath-taking cruelty.

Rural Hospitals Will Be Hit Hard By Trump’s Budget Bill

"The public health provisions in the massive spending package that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4, 2025, will reduce Medicaid spending by more than US$1 trillion over a decade and result in an estimated 11.8 million people losing health insurance coverage. As researchers studying rural health and health policy, we anticipate

Being born in 1993 is interesting.

Old enough to remember dial up, and a time of relative prosperity where a single person could support a small family with room to spare often. Where my childhood wasn't tainted by social media, cyber bully or tech much and didn't even have a phone until 14, and it could only text/call mostly.

Young enough to still get screwed over in all the same ways gen Z has, and will probably never own a home unless I find a rich partner.

After a long delay, people in a small part of France received an official order for certain vulnerable people should avoid drinking tap water, due to presence of PFAS in the water supply. The warning focused on babies, pregnant women and the immunocompromised. That decision is based on caution, which has some rational basis. But actually, no one knows how much harm

in reply to Richard Stallman

[2/2] various PFAS are likely to do to those people, or to other people. We have reasons to think they might do harm, but we don't know. There are hundreds of different PFAS, and no one knows what effects each one might have. Collecting statistics on exposure to each one, and on the medical problems that develop at various exposure levels, is likely to take decades.

"The scenes are truly shocking – they resemble the horrors of judgment day.

"Those with the clearest view are the ones bearing the brunt of such attacks. Whether it’s the sheriffs, police, or Border Patrol, “it was brutal violence,” said Ron Gochez, a community organizer, who was part of the protests. “What they didn’t think was going to happen was that the people would resist.” Over eight hours on Saturday, he said, after a battle with Border Patrol—“and it was a battle, because there were people throwing back tear gas, people throwing anything that they could to defend themselves and to defend the workers that were being surrounded”—the Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers that were in the factories around them were able to escape,” Gochez recounted. “They were able to go to their cars and go home. That was only thanks to the resistance that allowed them to go home that night.” If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."

Palestine Action: Final Statement Before Proscription


DESPITE OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO STOP THE PROSCRIPTION OF PALESTINE ACTION, THE BAN WILL COME IN AT MIDNIGHT

In five years, we have managed to build a direct action movement which successfully disrupted and challenged the Israeli weapons industry. Through relentless actions and the willingness to sacrifice our liberty, we’ve forced shut three Israeli weapons factories, pressured over a dozen companies to cut ties with Elbit Systems and cost the Israeli weapons maker £billions in lost contracts. The most important victory is building an effective global movement in service of the Palestinian people.

It’s clear, we were too effective and the government had to impose the most draconian attack on civil liberties to please the pro-Israel lobby. They may be able to proscribe ‘Palestine Action’, but they can not stop direct action happening across the country in different forms. We are more than just a name, or a network, we are an idea that can never be stopped. To be clear, they can not proscribe the TACTIC of direct action for Palestine.

We are extremely grateful for all of the support we have received over the past few years, and the outpouring of solidarity since the intention to proscribe us was announced. This proscription CAN NOT go unchallenged, and we are pleased to see many who are adamant on resisting the ban through a campaign of civil disobedience.

Breaking unjust laws is a moral duty. Unaffiliated campaign groups, Defend Our Juries and ‘we do not comply’ (wedonotcomply.org), will lead on defiance of the ban and resist the extreme counter-terror laws imposed on all of us. It is a given that there will be resistance.

However, we are also aware that anyone, knowingly or mistakenly, could be committing a terrorist offence just by liking or sharing our social media posts, if they are a British national or are in the ‘United Kingdom’. This could lead to vulnerable communities being harassed and targeted by the state. Whilst we encourage and support a campaign of civil disobedience, all who take part must do so on an informed basis. That’s why our social media will be taken down. For clarity, Palestine Action is ONLY proscribed in Britain.

Many will be rightfully angry at the imposed proscription of Palestine Action. However, with repression always comes more resistance. This is a moment that the British state will likely come to regret. It’s a signal to all of us who are willing to resist, to make the ban unenforceable.

We must resist for our own rights and most importantly, for the Palestinian people facing a genocide. We are all Palestine Action isn’t just a slogan, it’s a state of resistance.

COLLECTIVELY, WE WILL RESIST AND ULTIMATELY, WE WILL WIN

Sometimes I have to remind myself that although humans are smart enough to have made the Internet and fancy gadgets and nuclear weapons, many, many people still believe there's a white bearded deity in the clouds who will make everything good once his hippie son turns everyone who ate his flesh once a week into zombies, so they can all do the Macerena in the sky for the rest of time-- and all simply because the reality of death and injustice are too much to bear honestly.

What a species!

More than 100 people died in floods in Texas and our emergency management agency, FEMA, is being de-funded so that very expensive concentration camps-- which also flood--can be built.

For those in Texas? The Federal government had prayers.

Hey, please stop repeating the misinformation that corps are legally required to maximize profits or your shareholders can sue you. It's propaganda promoted by a handful of huge fund managers because they'd *like that* to be true.

Even SCOTUS agrees “Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.” (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby)
