Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign @ipsc.bsky.social · 13h
This is disgraceful and embarrassing for the British government, from arresting pensioners for holding up signs, to draconian treatment of Palestine Action activists, to this. All while arming apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. #FreePalestine

Sally Rooney's publisher is pulling her books from the UK market. She can no longer receive royalties from UK sales of her books. She fears arrest if she enters the country. Political dissent, effectively treated as a criminal offense. It's hard to overstate how frightening and insidious this is.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

Palantir’s Tom Watson hasn’t missed an opportunity to fearmonger about “highly organised pressure groups” affecting public interest procurement. We’d say firms like Peter Mandelson’s Global Counsel, who lobbied the government on Palantir’s behalf, are a bigger risk 👀 bit.ly/3VALODg

Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week. Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week. I'd go with that.

Azeez Al-Shaair continues to write the names of Palestinian children killed in Gaza on his game-day eye black, standing by his message despite repeated warnings and fines from the NFL.

4 photos of Azeez Al-Shaair, each with a name (in one case, 2 names) of Palestinian children killed by Israel. Next to each photo of Azeez is a photo of the child(ren) named. I have added their ages (to this ALT text: not to the image).

The names on the eye black are:
HIND RAJAB (5 years old)
WAFAA AKILA (9 years old)
LANA/BANA AHMED (12 & 8 years old)
AMAL ABU KHATER (10 years old)The same photos as on the left, but the text at the top reads:

In January, 2026, Azeez Al-Shaair was fined $11,593 by the NFL for wearing eye black with the message "stop the genocide".

4 days later, he wore eye black with the name Hind Rajab, and was fined another $11,593.

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC
BBC screengrab from within their Russell Brand trial coverage.  Image of Brand in 70s-style aviator glasses, with earpods in, blank expression. Long dark wavy hair, black and grey beard, dark unbuttoned shirt. All on a fire red/orange and black background
BBC logo top and centre, underneath a subdeck reading: Fame Under Fire. Then the headline 'Russell Brand On Trial'. 
The words 'fire'and 'trial' are coloured to look like they are glowing orange at the bottom
