BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the unlawful ban on Palestine Action.

He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."

Megyn Kelly: “After 14 years inside Fox News, I’m exposing what viewers refuse to see—how the network morphed from news into a propaganda machine designed purely to cheerlead wars, worship Trump, and feed you manufactured rage instead of facts.”

On this day in 1908, Jane Bolin was born. Bolin, America’s first black woman judge, said this about women’s rights in 1958: “Those gains we have made were never graciously and generously granted. We have to fight every inch of the way — in the face of sometimes insufferable humiliations.” #WeTheMen

Nelson Mandela 1997.

It's Sir Keir Starmer they should be arresting. No ifs. No buts.

#OtD 11 Apr 1968 West German activist Rudi Dutschke was shot in the head by a fascist. Dutschke survived and, despite brain damage, continued his work and activism until his death in 1979. Many blamed the shooting on the right-wing Springer press stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8268/rudi-dutschke-shot-in-the-head

This remarkable whalebone plaque was found in the grave of a Viking woman who was buried in Kilmainham, Dublin, over a thousand years ago.

You can see it in the Viking Exhibition in the National Museum of Ireland.

This quilt is by Jean Bailey from Columbia Station, Ohio. She named it, "Snake In The Grass." This was part of an exhibit on Monarch Butterfly quilts. All the quilts in this series were about 18" X 18". (I personally love those ants!)

Today marks 78 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land.
