Why are the only ads aimed at midlife women about menopause? Because the industry needs grown-ass women telling our own damn stories!

"You didn't join the police force to do this, did you?"
On the eve of the Supreme Court hearing on the Palestine Action ban, a 94-year-old barrister tells @ShehabKhan why she got arrested, and the words that made her arresting officer cry.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1
I have distinct memories from around 1968/9 of a primary school teacher wheeling the black and white tv into class and showing news from the Vietnam War encouraging us to discuss it. The world needs more hippies!

🚨 CONTEXT: 95% of Black British pupils have experienced racism at school, according to a @ymca report in October 2020. 6 years later, no action has been taken on this.
In comparison, the government accepted all 27 recommendations of David Bell's antisemitism study after 1 day.

95%* of Black children in the UK have heard or directly experienced racist abuse at school.
It is interesting that there was no action taken after that report.

Yell “fire”, there’s a slim chance you might get saved by someone.
Yell “rape”, there’s very high chance that 50 men will respond in a group chat and 15% of them will stand in line for their turn.
