The UK must not be an #AllyToAtrocities.
@Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy, the UK must do everything in its power to end the siege of #Gaza, and act now to prevent Israel’s atrocities in Gaza from being repeated in the West Bank.

"Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers."
Read @propublica's seminal series on how insurance giants like United and Cigna systematically, cruelly—and very, very profitably—deny health coverage every day, at the expense of patients' lives.

Jeremy Bowen on the Amnesty report that shows there is clear evidence Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Bowen reminds listeners its not just Amnesty saying this - he mentions the ICJ & also comments by Amos Goldberg, professor of Holocaust history at Jerusalem university.
The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment.
Liberals try to hold two commitments at once: on the one hand, they are firmly committed to capitalism; on the other, they express support for principles like human rights, democracy, equality, freedom of speech, environment and the rule of law. This duality is the core of liberalism.
But there's a problem. Capital accumulation requires cheapening labour and nature. This eventually comes into direct conflict with principles like rights and equality. And whenever this conflict appears, the liberal ruling class sides with capital, abandons their lofty principles, and throws workers and nature under the bus. Every. Single. Time.
This results in flagrant displays of hypocrisy. They run on nice-sounding platforms but end up either betraying their promises or actively working against their stated values. They'll slash public services, bail out banks, imprison journalists, beat up students, expand fracking, coup democratically elected leaders in the global South, bomb liberation movements, fund a genocide - they'll even trash international law itself - anything that's needed to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation.
At most, they may try to negotiate mediocre compromises, a few social policies here and there - some abortion rights, a tiny increase in the minimum wage - but nothing that might pose any serious threat to capital accumulation. Thus the soul-crushing slowness of liberal incrementalism. Ultimately they are unwilling to take any of the obvious steps that would actually resolve our urgent social and ecological crises.
This is why nobody trusts liberal politicians. This is why they come across as so fantastically insincere, and even sneering. This is why they feel so spineless and *empty*.
The center cannot hold. Liberalism will always collapse, inevitably handing power to fascists, and this is not acceptable. There is only one way to overcome this deadly impasse, and that is to mobilize a socialist alternative. A political movement that can unite the working-classes, overcome capitalism, deliver real economic democracy, and enable us to achieve rapid progress toward social and ecological goals.
Tomorrow's front page of @ScotNational.
We publish a timeline of a year of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. It's all here in black and white - the war crimes, murdered journalists, flattened hospitals, orphaned children. 7567 words, 42,000 deaths. Don't look away.
Thank you to everyone who stands in solidarity against the racists this evening.
You've brought us all so much hope!
They can never win. 💚
¡No pasarán!
This is the #Brighton I know & love so much 💚💚💚

"The framing of the asylum seeker as a kind of ‘folk devil’ first appeared under Blair."
NEW EPISODE: Guest-host @LukedeNoronha covers a recent history of "fevered rhetoric" encourage by successive governments, in the name of "controlling migration." ⤵️

🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.
“Rising antisemitism is not helped by those in gov't who say calling for a ceasefire is antisemitic. What picture does it paint of Jewish life when you say pro-peace demonstrators are a threat to Jews?"
Na’amodnik Max on marching yesterday.
🚨ALERT! Police have issued a section 35 dispersal order and are forcing people experiencing homelessness to move or face arrest.
This is outrageous from @CamdenCouncil. @MPSCamden must immediately halt this operation. We call on all to get down and help resist.
