Love wildlife, culture and a decent conversation. Hate racists and injustice. Feed the poor - not the war machines, and renationalise our NHS.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

Labour Together, the Zionist faction that got Starmer into power is very much still controlling the Labour Party - which means that Morgan McSweeney and Peter Mandelson haven't really gone away - whether that's Palantir still in the MoD and NHS or jailing anti genocide protesters or watering down the rules around political donations so that companies can give unlimited money to political parties, or choosing Andy Burnham as Starmer's replacement - they're still at the heart of government and we should be worried

🚨NOW: Rep. Thomas Massie just stood on the House floor and named what every politician in DC has spent 58 years pretending did not happen

The USS Liberty. June 8, 1967.

34 dead American sailors. 174 wounded. Over 70% casualty rate on a virtually unarmed US ship.

25 minutes of Israeli jets, Israeli rockets, Israeli 30mm cannon fire, and ISRAELI NAPALM ON THE BRIDGE. Then Israeli torpedoes. Then Israel machine-gunned the lifeboats.

MASSIE: "They were intent on leaving no survivor."

Then the part nobody wants you to think about: the Saratoga and the America launched planes to help. The planes were RECALLED. The crew sat there bleeding for 17 hours.

Dean Rusk. Richard Helms. Admiral Moaner. The chief counsel of the Court of Inquiry himself. None of them believed the "mistaken identity" story.

And now you understand exactly why the entire DC machine and Israel lobby has spent the last year trying to primary this man out of existence.

You are not allowed to say the quiet part. He said it anyway.

Honor the crew. https://t.co/XuDLeFF4gJ.

Imagine you lived in Nazi Germany and there was an organisation that tried to stop Hitler by smashing an arms factory up and splashing red paint around ? Don’t you think they would have been looked upon as being brave and heroic? Can you imagine anyone calling that organisation a terrorist organisation? Can you imagine anyone describing those who committed that criminal damage, terrorists ? Maybe Starmer and Starmer’s hand picked judges perhaps?

So now today, we have the Filton 4 who will be sentenced this Friday June 12 th. And Yes, they were found guilty of criminal damage but are now threatened with the sentence being linked to terrorism which would make it a much longer and more serious sentence. The government is testing the waters, turning the law upside down and framing the peace activist as terrorists and those who profit from genocide, as victims. Don’t let them get away with it.

Join us Friday to oppose this ludicrous and unjust “terrorist link” sentencing that Judge Johnson is reportedly planning to use against the Filton 4. Seriously, If they get away with sentencing them as terrorists it means they will be able to do it to anyone, any time, anywhere , for anything. Please, if you like the post, please share it . See you Friday June 12 at 5.30 Victoria monument Derby square outside the courts.

The government tell us to turn our heating down and eat less red meat for net zero. Yet they ram through gigantic hyperscale data centres that consume as much electricity in 24 hours as roughly 89 average streets use over an entire year. We are being treated like suckers.

🔴 Another Israeli attack on medics:

Lebanese Ministry of Public Health:
Today’s Israeli attack in Tyre in front of the Red Cross center killed five people and wounded eight, including four medics in the Red Cross.

🇧🇴 🇺🇸 | Civil war-type scenes are emerging from Bolivia.

The government passed a law authorising US-backed President Rodrigo Paz to deploy the military against protesters.

Bolivian police and military forces have launched a joint operation to clear strike blockades in San Julián, Santa Cruz department, as a five-week general strike against neoliberalism continues to grip the country.

The crackdown came with full government backing — multiple ministers arrived for what was intended as a photo opportunity declaring victory over the movement.

Instead, entire communities mobilised, forcing security forces to retreat after more than four hours of sustained resistance on the highway.

The mobilisations, demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, have left at least ten people dead, 37 injured, and over a hundred facing prosecution, according to the Ombudsman's Office.

Meanwhile, in El Alto — the indigenous city encircling the capital — daily popular assemblies are being held where communities vote on strike strategy and assess the movement's progress. A new form of grass-roots democracy is taking shape on the streets.

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

I just heard the @BBC radio say that the Israeli army was attacking Hezbollah targets yesterday & they also platformed someone bloviating about how Iran is ‘occupying’ Lebanon.

As a frontline journalist on the ground for the last 18 months, I would like to reiterate that I have not see any Iranian occupation bases in Lebanon. I have not seen any children killed here by Iranian bombs. I haven’t seen the IRGC massacring entire families on a daily basis. The IRGC has not shot at me or killed dozens of my colleagues in targeted attacks. Iran has not been systematically murdering healthcare workers (over 130) in Lebanon.

Israel has violently invaded and occupied Lebanon. The flag flying over the base in Al Khiam is an Israeli flag, not an Iranian flag. (Photo below)

The Lebanese Ministry of Health yesterday reported that 3,613 civilians have been killed and 11,072 have been wounded in Israeli attacks since March 2nd.

#URGENTE Ayudemos a difundir la lucha del pueblo digno de #Bolivia !!!

El gobierno de #Bolivia aprobó una ley que autoriza al presidente respaldado por #EEUU., #RodrigoPaz, a desplegar al ejército contra los manifestantes.

Las fuerzas policiales y militares bolivianas han lanzado una operación conjunta para despejar los bloqueos de huelga en San Julián, departamento de Santa Cruz, mientras una huelga general de cinco semanas contra el neoliberalismo continúa paralizando al país.

La represión contó con el respaldo total del gobierno — varios ministros llegaron para lo que se pretendía como una oportunidad fotográfica declarando la victoria sobre el movimiento.

En cambio, comunidades enteras se movilizaron, obligando a las fuerzas de seguridad a retroceder después de más de cuatro horas de resistencia sostenida en la carretera.

Las movilizaciones, que exigen la renuncia del presidente Rodrigo Paz, han dejado al menos diez personas muertas, 37 heridas y más de un centenar enfrentando procesos judiciales, según la Defensoría del Pueblo.

Mientras tanto, en El Alto — la ciudad indígena que rodea la capital — se están celebrando asambleas populares diarias donde las comunidades votan sobre la estrategia de huelga y evalúan el avance del movimiento. Una nueva forma de democracia de base está tomando forma en las calles. Es asi como se defiende la patria.

¡La Patria No Se Vende... Se Defiende!

Teilt diesen Tweet. Jetzt. Dringend.
Gegenhalten und die Bagger stoppen.
Es kursieren Falschmeldungen über Albanien – mit zehntausenden Likes und Retweets. Angeblich sollen die Bagger gestoppt worden sein. Angeblich soll das Projekt eingefroren sein. Angeblich soll Albanien gewonnen haben.

Das stimmt alles nicht. Das Projekt läuft. Die Bulldozer arbeiten weiter. Rama sagt öffentlich er werde das Projekt nicht stoppen.

Diese Falschmeldungen haben ein Ziel: Menschen davon abzuhalten zu den Protesten zu gehen – weil sie denken es hat sich erledigt. Es hat sich nicht erledigt.

Die Wahrheit: Die Flamingo-Revolution wächst. Täglich Proteste in Tirana. International: Berlin, London, New York, Toronto, Mailand. Weitere Aktionen in Brüssel, Bologna und New York am 15. Juni in Planung.
Helft den Albanern. Retweetet. Erzählt es weiter. Das ist unser Europa. 🇦🇱🇪🇺🇺🇸🦩
Lasst die Flamingorevolution trennen.

There is an event taking place in London on 14 June that openly advertises the sale of land in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank - there is no chance the UK government would allow stolen Ukrainian land to be sold off to people in the UK - why the double standards?

Whilst we were distracted, the groundwork for our AI control grid has slowly been growing. The map below shows Data Centers in Britain. Each one of these data centres use up to 5 million gallons of water per day and enough energy to supply 50,000 homes.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Ireland 🇮🇪

Big tech has built so many data centres in Ireland that it uses a fifth of the country’s electricity - more than all of Ireland’s urban homes put together.

This is DISGUSTING

Israel halts humanitarian aid to Gaza until further notice.

This is COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Mientras tanto este fin de semana en Mónaco, se puso de moda que los parásitos capitalistas muestren sus superdeportivos de 5 millones de dólares aparcados encima de su yate de otros 35 millones de dólares.

Esto es el capitalismo, para que unos pocos tengan esta absurda riqueza, muchos otros tienen que andar descalzos en minas para ganar 2 dólares al día... no es un "error" o un "mal funcionamiento" del sistema, ESTO es el sistema.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

En las minas de oro de Ghana, estas son las condiciones en la que los esclavos extraen el mineral para las grandes multinacionales capitalistas; descalzos y tiritando de frío, se cubren con bolsas de la lluvia.

El capitalismo no es "tener un Iphone", es el saqueo imperialista y la esclavitud de pueblos enteros en África para que en Occidente los señoritos burgueses lleven oros y diamantes.

@YvetteCooperMP @HFalconerMP Israel has bombed Lebanon every day since the latest 'ceasefire'. There will be no peace and stability until governments stop being controlled by Israel.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre.

What you see in this image are not merely ordinary columns; they are the historical columns of Tyre in southern Lebanon are iconic Roman architectural remains. They are part of an ancient Phoenician city-state that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old. Europe, Princess of Tyre, gave her name to those who, today, let her city be destroyed without saying a word.

We are watching history beirg erased in real time by Israel.

🚨 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 URGENT RELIEF UPDATE: 1,700 TONS OF LIFELINE JUST DOCKED.

Amidst a critical humanitarian situation, a massive cargo ship carrying 1,700 tons of urgent food and vital supplies has officially arrived in Havana, Cuba.

This is a monumental, fast-moving regional effort to deliver aid exactly where it is needed most. It was made possible by swift action from:

• 🇲🇽 The government and citizens of Mexico

• 🇧🇿 The government and citizens of Belize

• Grassroots solidarity networks and Cuban expats mobilized abroad.

When the crisis is urgent, real solidarity acts fast.

Spread the word and let the world see this massive relief effort in motion.
