ACTION: CUT THE RENT! #RentControlsNow!

Rising rents destroy our communities. The government is more interested in building expensive flats than stopping the rent hikes.

Tenants in Europe are taking action and winning. Now, we must take to the streets to demand housing justice!

Israel has made Gaza uninhabitable by design. This is not war, it is the deliberate annihilation of a people.

Today 10 UK police launched a pre-dawn raid on the home of Asa Winstanley, one of Britain’s leading and most celebrated investigative journalists.

All this devices, so all his journalistic materials, were seized and are now with the authorities.

He was not charged with a crime.

“I have to give thanks for this result and dedicate it to our comandante and undefeated leader who for the first time brought the sport to Cuba ... Thanks to the efforts he made so that our revolution could continue onwards.”

Cuba's record-breaking Olympic wrestler Mijaín López.

🌟🗣️ «Tengo que agradecer este resultado a nuestro Comandante en Jefe (Fidel Castro) y a la Revolución Cubana» 🇨🇺

En Tokio, Mijaín López, habló clarito. Su éxito, no es solo del "talento individual", sino resultado de un proyecto socialista que garantiza el deporte para todos.

Today's march in support of President Nicolás Maduro was large, but it wasn't the only one. There were Chavista marches all around the country.

Happy centenary James Baldwin, your words will live on for many more centuries to come.

Horrifying news that Isabel Gil, a well-known grassroots chavista leader in southeast Bolívar state, was assassinated by opposition groups yesterday

[COMBATE |🇵🇷 @upholdreality]

🇻🇪 Maduro meets the international media: "Why do you have to force our country into a war? Do you remember the WMDs in Iraq? Who prepared the lie? They bombed a million to death in Iraq. Who apologized in the great Western media?

Who apologized from CNN, from the BBC, from AP, AFP, EFE, Washington Post, New York Times?

Who apologized for the million that lost their lives in Iraq?

Who apologized for the more than 200,000 dead in the attack on Libya?

Who apologized for 20 years of destruction and death in Afghanistan?

Why this campaign against Venezuela?

Venezuela has its truth, and I'm here to defend the truth of our country. I'm not afraid of your lies."
