We join many progressive campaigners in leaving X.

Under Elon Musk's leadership twitter has become a hellscape of far right hate and it is just not safe or strategic to be here anymore.

We still want to organise for change, so find us on BlueSky and LinkedIn!

Before we leave X, we wanted to highlight and praise the amazing work of the People Vs Elon campaign!

They are funding anti-racist causes every time Elon Musk tweets!

What will we do differently going forward? This month's Dispatch explores research and resources on far-right authoritarianism - as well as a roundup of jobs (with transparent pay ranges!) https://t.co/euOUi83qI5

Elon Musk tweets are funding the fight against the far right - yes, that's right! People vs Elon is the hilarious new campaign from @pplvprofiteers that is raising money for causes that Elon Musk hates by raising money for every tweet that he makes. https://t.co/zh0KzSPOfq

Gaza is not for sale. Palestine is not for sale. Trump's recent outrageous statement is yet another colonial land grab—one that mirrors the theft of Indigenous lands worldwide. From Turtle Island to Palestine, settler states exploit, displace, and destroy in the name of profit and power. Yet oppressed people unite and resist against colonialism. We stand with Palestinians relatives and all others around the world resisting genocide, environmental destruction, and colonial violence. Land is not a commodity—it is life, memory, and future.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet:

Salting is an organizing tactic in which a person gets a job at a specific workplace with the goal of unionizing their coworkers. It’s an old strategy that’s coming back in a big way, from Starbucks to Amazon.

A new generation of young, diverse, fired-up worker-organizers around the country are embracing one of the oldest tactics in the pro-union handbook: salting.

@wereontheditch Well done to the @wereontheditch and Swords for Palestine group for keeping the pressure on. #PeoplePower

🚨Dublin-based ASL has said that both its French and Belgian airlines won't carry munitions to Israel🚨

'Therefore, we can now state "unequivocally and without reservation" that ITAR – (meaning International Traffic in Arms Regulations) – freight is not and will not be carried on any ASL airline to Israel, this includes ASL Airlines (Ireland), ASL Airlines (France), ASL Airlines (Belgium) and finally ASL Airlines (UK) which does not operate to Israel.

After repeated protests at its Swords office following reports of its munitions flights on The Ditch, ASL had issued a carefully worded statement last month.

Though it pledged to stop delivering munitions to Israel, the company used a subsidiary company to continue transporting such packages to the Israel Defense Forces.

In its most recent statement, ASL said, 'At the time we could only speak about our own airline, ASL Airlines (Ireland), and our decision was made to address staff concerns in the airline.'

Deborah Doane: The book is a rallying cry for change... the foundation of INGOs was built on good motivations... as we move into 1990s, professionalism started to replace ideas of solidarity... COVID highlighted the short comings of the INGOs... The failures are systemic.

[#ShiftThePower @ShiftThePower_]

The INGO has formal and informal systems that reflect western supremacy... knowledge centres from western institutions form the basis of policy... The language of the INGO is English, other languages don't have the jargons that INGOs understand

#ShiftThePower

[#ShiftThePower @ShiftThePower_]

The INGO is a system whose success is measured by funds raised and not work done... waste of resources by INGOs is easily forgiven compared to waste of resources by local orgs... The dominance of INGOs perpetuates the further dominance of INGOs

Local orgs can't do the emergent and creative work that paints alternative paths when they are constantly being dominated by INGOs structures everywhere.

Spoke to advocates and activists to understand the wave of rising participation and leadership from women in protests across south asia, and the gendered backlash they’re often met with. https://t.co/72djVDfaWQ
