What's so important abt the Strokes performance is that in less than 5 mins they made crystal clear that the US/Israeli war against Iran is not just happening because of Trump/Bibi. Its happening bcz this is what the US does. This is what it stands for. https://t.co/1ptmig2A4T

Spoiled children of yesterday’s colonialism and today’s governing powers, they oversee the looting of the few national resources.

For people in Europe, one of the most important objectives for political mobilisation now is to remove the US military bases. They are a menace to humanity, they are a threat to popular sovereignty, and every one of them must be closed.

“All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live”

The capitalist class - after decades of gutting labor unions, stripping worker protections and generally committing social murder - has forgotten that this is what happens when workers are left with no other way to negotiate

An obsession with "conquering" isn't exploration, it's pathology.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Don’t let intentional or unintentional racism take away from this monumental moment:

Ryan Coogler becomes the first Black man in BAFTA’s 77-year history to win Best Original Screenplay for ‘SINNERS’.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

With a two-hour delay, the BBC could’ve removed the N-word slur from its BAFTA coverage, and chose not to.

Meanwhile, it cut Akinola Davies Jr saying “Free Palestine”.

A clear editorial decision driven by fear of pro-Israel lobby groups. Shame on them.

BREAKING: WE WON.

The High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban is unlawful as it is disproportionate to free speech and the Home Secretary breached her own policy.

The court ordered the ban be quashed. Details of lifting the ban will be decided and completed at a later date.

This reporting interestingly omits that he’s been homeless for years & he sleeps on trains.
Homeless people tend to go up and down public transport, it’s warmer and away from the elements.
