We are very concerned to hear Professor @HaimBresh was arrested yesterday after having spoken at an @IJAN_Network demonstration. Our unwavering solidarity with Professor Bresheeth who we were honoured to host in February w/ @ghadakarmi. Watch our webinar youtu.be/8B6JHawmgOE?si=2cTX…
Absolutely disgusted that the British police have arrested highly respected, world-renowned academic Prof Haim Bresheeth after he spoke at the @IJAN_Network demo against Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Htovely. Haim is an incredibly knowledgeable, anti-Zionist Israeli Jew who is one of the world's top experts on the IDF. Needless to say Haim vehemently opposes the #genocide in #Gaza Here is an excerpt from another interview featuring Haim m.youtube.com/watch?v=-oUCwk… #GenocideByIsrael

These riots are the unhinged, grimy consequences of White Supremacy. It’s not anti-immigration. It’s racist, Anti-Black and Islamophobic violence that has no purpose.

How many rotten apples must be exposed before it is understood that the barrel itself is rotten? #racism #Islamophobia #WhiteSupremacy #RacialState #Police
*SHOCKING* Watch this particular clip and the slow motion replay The mother, with what can only be described as a miracle, just saved this boys life by moving his head millimetres away just as that officer attempts to stamp on the back of his head with full force

We're proud to co-organise this campaign with @oubucu & @ou_palfriends calling on The Open University to divest from Israel & the Arms Industry... 'we believe such investments are incompatible with the institution's mission to promote social justice'. tiny.cc/OUDivest

Stares in #Section3 of Stochastic Parrots at @JeffDean & @ylecun (the latter of whom threw his own team under the bus to undermine our paper)
New from me: Google's emissions shot up *almost 50%* since 2019 due to its massive focus on AI. This makes it the second huge tech company (see Microsoft in May) that has said AI is threatening its ability to meet key environmental goals. Who'll be next? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A phenomenal project: @DAIRInstitute invited data workers, the often abused & neglected lifeblood of the AI industry, to conduct their own research into their communities & write about it in their own words. This is true participatory AI. Visionary work. data-workers.org/

Nothing more boring than liberals expressing ‘shock’ at far right gains year after year after year. The rise of fascism and the right is deeply entangled with liberalism, not separate from it.

While we wait for confirmation about the extent of U.S. involvement in the ‘rescue’ of 4 Israeli hostages that entailed the slaughter 200+ Palestinians, a reminder that *every* massacre of Palestinians is *directly* supported by the United States. Every single one.
