🎥 “We want to go the Farage route, not the Lib Dem route.” Ashok Kumar of Greens for Palestine spoke to Novara Media about strategy behind the Green Party’s “Zionism is racism” motion, which took a year to organize and was designed to expose Labour’s politics. He said PM Andy Burnham’s response revealed him as little different from Keir Starmer. Inspired by Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed and its “strategy of conflict,” the idea is to set the terms of debate, provoke a backlash, and heighten contradictions to force opponents to reveal positions. Rather than chase more MPs by moderating its politics, Kumar says the Greens should use confrontation to shift the debate leftward and become an anti-establishment force. “We want to drag [the paradigm] to the left kicking and screaming.” @comrade_kumar_ | @novaramedia

When we organized our own podcast at the GSC, we wanted to build an archival tool, a library of sorts. You can easily highlight parts of the transcript and make audio clips like this to share, do in-depth searches, and more. A thread 🧵 podcasts.goodshepherdcollect…

Auf einer Demonstration am gestrigen Mittwochabend unter dem Motto »Down with Colonialism!« im Berliner Stadtteil Kreuzberg wurde unsere jW-Kollegin von einem Polizisten mit den Worten »Sie haben hier keine Pressefreiheit« zu Boden gebracht, als sie mit ihrer Kamera das Demonstrationsgeschehen dokumentieren wollte. Damit verletzt die Berliner Polizei das durch das Grundgesetz geschützte Gut der Pressefreiheit. Dieser Übergriff reiht sich ein in eine Kontinuität von Angriffen auf Medienschaffende im Umfeld dynamischer Versammlungslagen. In den vergangenen Monaten kam es in Berlin wiederholt zu Situationen, in denen Journalisten trotz klarer Pressekennzeichnung an der Dokumentation von Polizeieinsätzen gehindert oder durch körperliche Gewalt seitens der Polizei verletzt wurden.

There are people wrongly criticizing @NerdeenKiswani for this entirely reasonable statement. In many jurisdictions, doctors, therapists and even lawyers — normally bound by strict confidentiality — are required by law to report when they reasonably believe that active clients present a danger to children, or are planning to commit a crime that is likely to result in death or substantial bodily harm. These are called mandatory reporting laws, and they are common. Here, we are not talking about historic, completed crimes, but an ongoing genocide. The idea that Zionist filmmakers should be uniquely entitled to protect the identities of people who for all we know are still actively engaged in mass murder, just for some introspective shooting-and-crying bullshit and some red carpet awards, is deeply dehumanizing to Palestinians. This does not make these Zionist filmmakers brave truth tellers but accessories to an ongoing genocide.

We are starting to get more accurate numbers from the slaughter of Iranian civilians by the regime in January, 2026. IHRNGO has published a list of more than 4,200 people killed, with their names and identities verified. Among them are at least 420 women and 281 children under the age of 18. This is not a final death toll. The organization states that "these figures represent the minimum number of documented deaths, not the final death toll. The widespread internet and communications blackout, threats and pressure against families, restrictions on access to hospitals and forensic records, and the impossibility of conducting independent investigations inside Iran continue to obstruct efforts to establish the full scale of the killings." Still, that means the numbers sometimes thrown out of tens of thousands were vast exaggerations but it also means that the atrocities committed by Tehran were real and horrific. The regime must be held accountable for its crimes. Just because we do not support Israel and the US in their war, does not mean Iran can get away with murder.
