PM Carney's solidarity with Zelensky is a foolish sideshow. Trump is running the show whatever the fate of Ukraine.

Queer news Tik-Toks into the future; Britain’s first trans judge fights the U.K. top court’s “woman” definition in the Euro-Court, a gay Jamaican refugee is freed from U.S. ICE custody, Texas university students beat a campus drag ban in a U.S. appeals court, a Florida district judge un-bans books in the state’s classrooms and school libraries, and Florida activists rebuke the DeSantis removal of rainbow crosswalks.

Among the over twelve hundred programs in the TUC Radio archives this is one of my favorites. Thats based on the respect I have for the speaker, Edward Said, and the ongoing sadness that, to this day, so little is known about the history of Palestine. This is Edward Saids last major speech on Palestine, the war on Iraq and the Bush administration. On September 25, 2003, a message made its way around the world. Edward Said, Palestinian American, world famous professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, and fearless defender of the Palestinian cause had died of leukemia in New York City, far from the city of Jerusalem where he was born in 1935. In 1948 Said and his family were forced to leave Palestine for Cairo when the newly founded state of Israel took their ancestral home. Later Said came to the US, studied at Princeton and Harvard and went on to teach at Yale and Columbia. He was not only a renowned academic but also an eloquent spokesperson for Palestinian rights and sovereignty. Said leaves behind a treasure of writings including his most influential book, Orientalism (1978),as well as books inspired by his passionate advocacy of the Palestinian cause, including The Question of Palestine, (1979), Covering Islam (1981), After the Last Sky (1986), Blaming the Victims (1988), and Culture and Imperialism (1993).
