[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Elements in Britain’s pro-Israel lobby are worried about our campaign to investigate UK nationals who have served in the IDF.

So worried they’re resorting to ludicrous anti-semitism smears.

It’s not going to work. Pls add your name to our petition:

🇨🇺| Presidente @DiazCanelB:

¡#Raúl es Cuba, y a #Cuba no se toca! No se toca mientras queden una cubana o un cubano dignos con vida para poner escudo donde el enemigo pretenda poner la bala.

Nobody wants to live next to a war criminal... I've just signed my name calling for the government to investigate Brits who have returned from serving in the IDF - you should too! @DeclassifiedUK https://t.co/09kU3Vky6P

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Which authorities will investigate for possible complicity in war crimes?

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

This Naksa Day, Palestinians demand meaningful action.

We need real global action in the form of accountability and ending complicity to support our struggle for liberation from Israel’s decades old regime of settler-colonialism, military occupation, apartheid, and genocide.

Channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic BDS pressure to support our struggle to end Israel’s ongoing genocide and settler-colonial apartheid.

Here is Springsteen with @kennychesney doing a great rendition of Woody Guthrie’s "This Land Is Your Land"

This is how you celebrate 250 years of American music!

This tells you all you need to know...

Burnham wouldn't have Corbyn back in the party (if he applied), but he "would like to continue working with Simons," who was a key player in the Mandelson-McSweeney-Starmer project.

Burnham is business as usual. https://t.co/XJ6Hutr4of

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

📢🏛️ On 10 June, UNISON members will march on Westminster to demand Fair Visas Now.

For months, members have lobbied MPs and made the case for fairness. But the government is still pressing ahead with plans that break its promise to care workers.

[Communist Party ☭ @CPBritain]

James Connolly was born into the crushing poverty of the Edinburgh slums to Irish parents. He spent his life proving that the working class has no country but the one they build for themselves. He was a trade unionist who did more than talk about solidarity. He organised the Irish Citizen Army to protect workers from the batons of the bosses and the police during the 1913 Lockout.

He understood that a change in the colour of a flag means nothing if the same landlords and capitalists are still pulling the strings. In 1916, he led the Easter Rising to break the back of British imperialism and the systemic greed that sustained it. He knew that national freedom without economic freedom was just a different form of slavery.

The British state showed its true face in his murder. Connolly was so shattered by wounds from the fighting that he could not stand to face the firing squad. They took him to Kilmainham Gaol, tied him to a chair, and shot him.

They killed the man but they could not kill the truth he left us. We do not celebrate him as a statue or a relic of the past. We celebrate him by continuing the fight for a world where the wealth belongs to those who create it. Our demands remain moderate. We only want the earth.

[ICJP @ICJPalestine]

.@ZackPolanski signed the open letter organised by @declassifiedUK and ICJP to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper demanding that the UK government track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF, subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry, and support robust war crimes investigations in line with domestic and international law.

We are now opening the letter up to the public. You can sign the letter here: https://t.co/6xknTqG7py

11 days before Iran’s World Cup opener:

• No visas yet approved for players or staff
• Forced to move their camp from USA to Mexico
• A friendly cancelled due to the relocation

This is how the world’s 21st-ranked team is being treated before football’s biggest tournament.

[Communist Party USA @communistsusa]

The Communist Party USA condemns the politically motivated charges brought against Raúl Castro as yet another example of the tyranny and hypocrisy by the United States. The sole purpose of these charges is to provide an excuse to pursue the decades-old regime change policy against socialist Cuba. Read the full article here: https://t.co/FewBrvXXgX
