What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.

So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

Tomorrow @Congreso_Es is expected to decide whether #Spain will join the #nuclearban
@sanchezcastejon already questioned the reliability of #nucleardeterrence at the @MunSecConf
This could mark a historical moment for @NATO and for #nucleardisarmament in Europe.

When violence leaves no bruise, is it even violence? https://t.co/mkKz5zTV2y

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Watch: Yuli Novak, B’Tselem’s Executive Director, speaking at the launch of our new report, The Elimination Project, and calling on the international community to act:

“How much more evidence do you need before you act? Statements do not protect anyone until they become action. Every day without meaningful action gives Israel more time to deepen this project and make it harder to reverse.”

The Elimination Project shows how Israel is systematically using interconnected mechanisms: violence, displacement, restrictions on movement, economic strangulation and political repression to dismantle the conditions that allow Palestinians to exist as a collective in the West Bank, while expanding and entrenching Israeli control and Jewish supremacy.

The international community must stop treating these isolated violations and end the impunity that allows this system to continue.

If you find yourself saying
‘I’m not taking sides’
during a genocide, you are.
You most definitely are.

Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.

Ed Sheeran should be reminded of Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s words:
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor”

“Absolutely minute”: Thatcher, Miliband and Britain’s symbolic and ineffectual sanctions against apartheid https://t.co/9VprH7Q7ej

@declassifiedUK Some of us are old enough to remember when Margaret Thatcher eventually agreed to minor sanctions on the Apartheid regime in South Africa and said more or less the same thing https://t.co/V7OWwefdYW

Decades ago, China had a bold vision called "Chinese modernization"!

Back then, it was just a dream on paper!

Today, that dream has truly come true!

@omgsidewalks We take it back again!

An awake working class is the only thing that has ever genuinely threatened concentrated power.

Not elections, which are managed.

Not journalism, which is owned.

Not protest, which is tolerated at the level where it's symbolic and suppressed at the level where it isn't.

A working class that understands, clearly, collectively, across the lines of race and nationality and religion that were drawn specifically to divide it, what is actually happening and who is actually responsible.

That is the threat.

That is why so much energy goes into making sure it doesn't happen.

The racism isn't incidental to the economic project.

The xenophobia isn't a distraction from the real politics.

The division is the politics.

Keep them fighting each other and they never look up.

Keep them looking at the border and they never read the trade agreement.

Keep them afraid of each other and they never ask who benefits from the fear.
