Puberty blocker bans are part of an international reactionary offensive against bodily autonomy.

But if bans can spread across borders, so can working-class defence of trans youth.

The recent decision by American and British imperialism to assist Ukraine in using long-range missiles inside Russia is a recklessly dangerous provocation that threatens a military retaliation involving nuclear weapons, with the potential to trigger World War III. 1/6

The collapse of the French government has triggered a crise de régime under embattled President Emmanuel Macron, following the resignation of Macron-appointed Prime Minister Michel Barnier. 1/6

The International Bolshevik Tendency condemns the targeted persecution of Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, by the Canadian federal government and demands it be immediately removed from the official list of “terrorist entities.” https://t.co/x9GWLGAEZ9

Howard Keylor, who has died at 98, was a founding member of the IBT, a revolutionary organizer, a militant trade-unionist, a teller of tales, a collector of facts and a stubborn and tenacious fighter for all he believed in. https://t.co/YHYIg3ipnd

Chris Kaba was shot two years ago at 23 by policeman Martyn Blake who was cleared of murder last week. After the outrageous verdict the Labour govt defended the armed wing of the state, announcing that officers on trial for killing suspects will be given total anonymity. 1/3

Hands Off Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon!
Israel's military operations in Lebanon, alongside the genocidal war on Gaza, represent a significant step towards a broader regional war in the Middle East. Air strikes have killed 600 and displaced over 90,000 this week alone. 1/6

[International Bolshevik Tendency @IBT1917]

The IBT condemns Israel’s invasion of Lebanon and the killing of Nasrallah and other Hezbollah commanders, along with hundreds of civilians. These acts are clearly designed to sabotage any attempts to end the year-long genocide in Gaza....

[International Bolshevik Tendency @IBT1917]

We thank this contributor to the Times of Israel blog, who quoted from our recent statement on Israel's genocide of Palestinians and assault on Lebanon at great length, as if it were self-evidently false….
