Moving words by @GeorgeThePoet today @BrentHarrowPSC . Thank you. "Resist normalising this genocide... It's important that we allow ourselves to feel that disgust in our stomachs... Shed a tear for Palestine when it hits you. Allow yourself to cry... to have a day of depression."

Keir Starmer is asked about his "red lines" - use of white phosphorus, collective punishment, bombing safe routes? He doesn't list any and refers to Israel's "right to self defence", emphasising the need for humanitarian aid.

The movement is simple: black lives matter. You entered this thread to deny police brutality and discredit black voices. Please keep my name out of your misinformation

@CocoKiia @StillJustCJ @sthenes @DreaOcean @C0mplexSocieTY8 It was from George the Poet lol, which was broadcasted on the BBC. It raised a lot of attention because of the scrutiny it received for being incredibly false and misleading, which in turn led to him correcting his error. If you want the real figures, they are on gov websites.

Could someone pls educate me on why j cole's song rattled ppl so much? I thought he was saying super-woke ppl sometimes alienate others with their impatience/intelligence/intolerance for others who don't have their clarity/confidence
