@CraigMurrayOrg Perhaps you'd like to try the IWW?

[Edinburgh IWW @EdinburghIww]

An injury to one is an injury to all.
The IWW stands in solidarity with all workers in Palestine suffering from Israeli occupation & genocide. We ask that other branches proudly show support for our international brothers and sisters.

[Propaganda - بروباغندا @Propaganda_rm]

إنّ حادثة بلدة كحّالة هي نتيجة للتناقضات التي تعتاش عليها البرجوازية اللبنانية لإعادة انتاج هيمنتها على مجتمعنا في كيان معدّ للإنهيار. تجدّدت طيلة العقود بل وحتّى القرون الأخيرة في المنطقة صراعات داخلية بين مختلف الأطراف البرجوازية التي جيّشت الجماهير المفقرة لتقاتل نيابة عنها

The IWW's response to the shameful email sent out by the University of Glasgow about the MAB a few days ago. Full solidarity with @UCUGlasgow and our dual carders! https://t.co/hHwlPjlGM3

The state-building project is the graveyard of Lebanon's social movements and hopes for change.

[Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action @TheCeSSRA]

What is first needed is accountable and democratic public institutions, and the social contract also needs to be rethought. The Lebanese population needs to agree on what kind of state it aspires to, and what social justice would entail in that state, especially since the crisis calls for rebuilding. Then, trust, transparency, and anti-corruption can start to be addressed.

[Bryan Simpson @BrySim88]

Won’t anyone think of the poor independent businesses owned by very wealthy individuals happy to exploit their workers to become richer.

I wonder who the “mainstream union representative” could be.

Also solidarity with the @clydesideiww

Direct action tactics are 🔑

[Jade Saab @JadeSaab]

Learned about the @_EHSSU_ at today's @EdinburghMayDay rally. Inspiring to see students step up to demand better education standards. Hope their voices are elevated by all of us who teach.

📢 Casework victory 📢

We supported a teacher at a big chain school whose DOS tried to discipline them - w/o reason and w/o process.

After some quick advice to the worker on their rights, the manager swiftly decided to resolve the matter amicably - w/o disciplinary action!✊✊

A short article on why theories of deprivation cannot explain when revolutions happen

https://t.co/2mtljhNGae

[Jade Saab @JadeSaab]

but it is also a text of hope. Proof that even in the shadow of counter revolution and economic displacement, the networks, lessons, and ideas forged during the confrontations of 2019 continue to burn like embers, waiting to give life to the flame of revolution once again.

[Jade Saab @JadeSaab]

Currently reading this and I cannot recommend it enough. Not only is the book a treasure trove of resources on the 2019 revolution and an exemplar of the quality academic work arising from Lebanon...

[Maya Mikdashi @mayamikdashi]

Palestine is a national cause, an Arab cause, the cause of the oppressed, of the colonized & formerly colonized, of anyone who believes in & practices freedom,anyone who refuses to accept that some people are less human than others. What do you believe in, what do you fight for?

An article I wrote for the French anarchist magazine Alternative Libertaire.

[David Harvey | @davidharvey.org on Bluesky @profdavidharvey]

All along, since my first Marxist book in 1973, I've made the argument that social movements are just as important as trade unions in articulating the pathway towards socialism. The left has this fiction that the only working class that counts is the industrial working class.

[Aya Musmar آية مسمار @AyaMusmar]

As a Palestinian, i’m offended by the silence attended by colleagues working on justice and decolonisation. This is not self-indulging. I’m fed up with the pseudo bravery that the discourse claims. bit by bit, i am losing faith in values & commitments academic research promotes.
