Poverty, homelessness and the many other problems in our society won’t be fixed by a change in personality.
They will only be fixed by a radical change in policy — away from austerity and privatisation, and toward a redistribution of wealth and power.
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal visits the Wall of Tears in Dearborn, Michigan
This heart-rending visual display memorializes the over 18,500 children killed by the Israeli military in the besieged Gaza Strip between October 7, 2023 and July 2025
Blumenthal reads the names and ages of several of these children, and places their lives in the broader context of Gaza's occupation, siege and genocide at the hands of the state of Israel
#OTD 1998. Labour Government confirms that it is to implement the Low Pay Commission's report on the Minimum Wage.
The MP for Markerfield, Ian McCartney, reflects on the battle to bring it in after he had
been tasked with overseeing it’s introduction.
As Lauren Edwards reintroduces the assisted suicide Bill today, Ann Furedi – former chief of abortion provider BPAS and a lifelong "pro-choice" campaigner – has issued a striking warning: this Bill is a "serious mistake". 🧵1/
Roy Hattersley reflects on the 1978 election that never was…

I have signed this letter calling upon the government to halt this real estate event that is promoting the sale of properties in the illegally occupied West Bank. We cannot allow this appalling theft of Palestinian land to take place in our own capital city.
When our political-media establishment chant "stand with Ukraine", it means boycotting diplomacy and finance the kidnapping of Ukrainian men to use them in a campaign to weaken Russia as a strategic rival. If the majority of Ukrainians had a say, there would not have been a regime change in 2014, the 2015 Minsk agreement would have been implemented, the 2019 peace platform would not have been reversed, the 2022 Istanbul agreement would have been signed, and there would now be negotiations about the pan-European security architecture. However, the US and EU run Ukraine, and men are hunted on the streets to fight to the last Ukrainian in NATO's proxy war.

".. when it comes to the rise of the far right & fascism.. the genocide the Gaza.."
Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide.
The experts already have.
A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide.
Andy, why won't you call it what it is?
Whilst senior editor @CamillaTominey is harassing Zack and defaming him, the @Telegraph have still not apologised for their antisemitic cartoon.
They need an immediate review into antisemitism.
