🚨 BREAKING: Filton 6 defendants have been given a "not guilty" verdict or "no verdict" by a jury on ALL charges. Not a single defendant was convicted of any offence. The jury also refused to convict Samuel Corner on the charge of committing GBH against a cop Via @RealMediaGB - Reposted by Alice Hewitt“Every empire, however, tells itself and the world that it is unlike all other empires, that its mission is not to plunder and control but to educate and liberate." ― Edward W.

- Reposted by Alice HewittHome Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

- Reposted by Alice HewittEven a pause in the killing and displacement would be good and I share the cautious optimism that this could end this phase of the catastrophe. But it is wild that people are treating this as if it’s the negotiated end of the Russo-Japanese War, or even Camp David 1978.

- Reposted by Alice HewittAt the core of transmisogyny is, inevitably, misogyny itself. The viciousness with which some people trash trans women for how they look, or their supposed artificiality, or perceived errors in their behaviour, comes from a fundamental loathing of any women who doesn’t conform to their expectations.

We've seen so much cowardice from so many quarters in recent times that it's almost a shock to be reminded what a person of conscience acting with true integrity looks like.

- Reposted by Alice HewittThe point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.
- Reposted by Alice HewittPeople love to call everything about Israel and the genocide in Gaza complicated. Stop doing that. It's actually extremely straightforward: Israel is committing genocide, the US is funding it and supplying the weapons. The companies on the BDS target list are financially and materially enabling it.
- Reposted by Alice HewittThe step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

- This is hardly the most important thing in the absolute terrorising of trans women in Britain but every time I hear about how "men legally aren't allowed in women's toilets" I'm just like??? They are though. 1/
- I spent a large portion of my childhood in service stations on the side of roads with large public toilets. Men were consistently employed as cleaners in these spaces. It was normal and accepted that there would be a dude with a mop in there sometimes. Women would bring their sons in with them. 2/
- It was literally a non issue. The very idea that the central fight for sexual violence against women is about strangers in public bathrooms is absurd and a seemingly almost deliverate distraction from the main source of sexual violence: the family, churches and schools. 3/
- It is a confected outrage that ignores the actual sources of problems for women and tries to distor every conversation about women's rights and safety into targeting and demonising trans women. It's all lies and it's galling how much of the conversation has been captured by it 4/

- Reposted by Alice Hewittone of the worst fucking things in the world is the move to call sincerity and care "cringe" fuck that shit. let's build a political community based on care for one another.
- Reposted by Alice HewittA ceasefire is a relief but it’s no justice for Gaza. Israel has murdered tens of thousands of people and left even more traumatised, disabled, and homeless. I can barely imagine what life will be like for Palestinians in the coming months and years. It’s more than any people should endure.
- Reposted by Alice HewittI'm reading news of an imminent ceasefire deal. I'm praying that the violence truly stops, that we don't see drawn-out death by another name. I pray that we all stay alert and awake regardless of what comes next. None of us are free until Palestine is free and a ceasefire is not freedom.
- Reposted by Alice HewittAll my mutuals here are picking different horrific quotes from this article. I think it's the headline that gets me. How have we reached a point where a government can use slang from heroin use to discuss a plan they have for schools and health and it just gets reported like nothing is wrong
- Reposted by Alice HewittAs the genocide goes on in plain sight, our govt launches an ‘inquiry.’ Will it inquire why we’re still arming Israel, assisting with RAF reconnaissance flights and still refusing to allow a single child - no matter how injured - into the UK for treatment? committees.parliament.uk/committee/78...
- Reposted by Alice HewittI know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?
- Reposted by Alice HewittAs Carla Denyer MP said in the HoC the other day: the Convention imposes a duty on signatories like the UK to prevent genocide. So they can't just sit around waiting for a retrospective verdict that it was genocide. The UK and other states are in breach of their obligations
