"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

🚨 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.

RFK Jr said "Infertility is genetic. If your parents can't have kids, neither can you."
Thats who’s in charge of women’s health in America Folks ….
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no evidence RFK Jr. ever said this. Fact-checkers traced the line to an online joke that circulated for years before being misattributed to him in a July 2026 TikTok; versions date back to a 2022 X post and humor books from 1997. snopes.com/fact-check/rfk… leadstories.com/hoax-alert/202…

Cornell had a town hall of sorts on campus tonight. In solidarity, a lot of students are calling for the president to step down.
I see a lot of my fellow alums saying, don’t just blame Cornell, it’s not only us. I think everyone knows that this is a crisis on every college campus. But if our school can be the ground zero for change, that would be a good thing.
As a very involved alum, I am a longtime member of the President’s Council of Cornell Women and Cornell University Council, I am ashamed of our university, and every alum should be as well. 35% of our undergraduate women have experienced sexual assault, up from 23% two years ago. Out of more than 1,200 cases that were brought to our college, less than a dozen resulted in expulsions. That is not acceptable in any way. There is nothing to be proud of here, except the possibility that our students will take the lead in bringing change.

When I was in my early 20’s, I walked into a bar one night with 3 of my wrestler buddies. As soon as we walked in, a frantic woman ran towards us, begging for help. She pointed at a woman across the bar, clearly out on her feet, surrounded by 6 men. She said that was her friend & she had been slipped something. She was terrified for her friend.
My friends & I didn’t say a word. We marched straight over there, got in between the drugged woman and the men and walked her out of the bar - all while letting the men know it would be a mistake to try us. The frantic woman came with us. We took them back to my apartment & watched over her friend for the next 9 hours, until she woke up. When we explained to her where she was & what had happened the night before & her friend confirmed the story, I had never seen fear like that before. The woman knew how close she was to something really bad happening to her. Both women thanked us & we never saw them again.
That’s how you’re supposed to react when you see a woman has been drugged. You don’t hop in a group chat, you don’t ignore her situation & you certainly don’t violate her. It’s not hard. It’s actually really easy to not be a shitty person.
