The white working class aren’t oppressed because they’re white. They are oppressed because they are working class.

They are oppressed by millionaires in slick suits and 5 houses, like Nigel Farage.

There is a huge story unfolding in South Dublin County Council which most of the mainstream media has been ignoring despite every attempt to inform them.

Councillors have just voted for a binding Section 140 motion to stop an unjust rent increase. This is almost unprecedented.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

As temperatures rise, so do the risks of dehydration, fatigue and heatstroke. Here are 3 things every worker needs to know 👇
1. There is NO legal maximum working temperature in the UK

But employers still have a legal duty to keep you safe. under the Health and Safety act Workplaces must be at a "reasonable" temperature and employers must assess and control heat-related risks
2. Your employer must protect you from excessive heat
This can include: Free access to drinking water, more breaks and recovery time, shade, cooling areas or ventilation, adjusted working hours, slower work rates and task rotation and even stopping work in extreme conditions
3. Unions are campaigning for stronger protections and can keep employers accountable

Union health & safety reps can inspect workplaces, challenge unsafe conditions, demand risk assessments and negotiate agreements to protect workers during extreme weather.
Unite is campaigning for a legal maximum working temperature because no one should risk their health just to earn a living 📣

Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz?

This isn't one.

This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights.

"Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone.

The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967.

October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it.

Why don't we hear anything about this?

On Sunday, members of our Domestic Workers Branch gathered to celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of migrant domestic workers.

Mimi, Chair of The Voice of Domestic Workers and Branch Secretary, shared her story and fight for change.

Every worker deserves dignity, protection, and a voice at work. We call on the government to strengthen protections for domestic workers, including reforming the visa system and restoring pre-2012 rights, which would allow workers to change employers, renew their visas, and easier escape from exploitative or abusive conditions.

Today is International Domestic Workers Day, but we will continue to stand united in solidarity with domestic workers everywhere. ✊

When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.

New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.

Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.

But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.

A Congolese man died in Dublin on Friday after he was restrained by several security guards in an alleged shoplifting incident – prompting widespread anger and calls for justice.

Video of the incident showed several guards on top of Yves Sakila, 35, in Dublin city centre as he cried out in distress. At one point, a guard appears to kneel on his head or neck. He later appears to become unresponsive. Police are investigating.

The footage has prompted comparisons with the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Local community members held a vigil on Tuesday, chanting “justice for Yves”.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties is demanding that the death be “swiftly, thoroughly and transparently investigated”.

What a joke.

Less than 12 hours ago, his government voted down a proposal to ban trade with Israel.

His government has spent 8 years delaying and watering down and trying to avoid a ban on Israeli settlement products.

A Congolese man died after being restrained by security guards in Ireland, in an incident that has drawn comparisons to the 2020 killing of George Floyd.

Footage shows Yves Sakila, 35, being pinned to the ground by multiple men on Henry Street in Dublin city centre at around 5pm on Friday, following an alleged shoplifting incident.

At one point, one of the men appears to kneel on Sakila’s neck or head. Later, a different guard presses Sakila’s head down to the ground.

As Sakila becomes unresponsive, one of the men appears to check his neck for a pulse.

He was later taken by ambulance to Mater Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Sakila, who had lived in Ireland since 2004, had spent the last two years as a resident at the Salvation Army’s Granby Centre.

He was regarded by staff there as a “pleasant and quiet” resident with a “deep interest in technology and sometimes attended prayer services”, the Irish Times reported.

The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) called for Sakila’s death to be “swiftly, thoroughly and transparently investigated” by the Garda Síochána, Ireland’s police force.

“The footage is deeply distressing and clearly shows a disproportionate and excessive use of force by people who seem to be security personnel,” the ICCL said.

More than 100 people gathered on Tuesday to call for justice for Sakila, leaving flowers by a lamppost next to the scene of the incident.

One man held a sign saying: “Justice for Yves and all victims of systematic brutality”.

A Garda spokesperson said: “The scene was preserved and has since been forensically examined. The Coroner has been notified and the Office of the State Pathologist will conduct a post-mortem examination.”

Dublin Live reported on Wednesday that the post-mortem failed to determine a cause of death.

Sakila’s younger brother, Corneille, told the outlet: "The family and the entire Congolese community demands justice.”
