Of course, this stuff is accepted by Reform voters in the same way that Trump's frauds have been accepted by his supporters: proof that he's a genius who operates on a higher plane than us mere slave labourers. #NigelFarage #grift #suckers

Nigel Farage failed to declare staff, security and housing gifted to him by a convicted fraudster and crypto gambler who was charged for his role in a “dark web” money laundering plot www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Anyone sick of seeing these examples of why Israel is like Nazi Germany yet?

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

Israeli Settlements and National Projects Minister Orit Strock celebrated expanding Israeli control over the Ibrahimi Mosque in occupied Hebron, declaring that the site belongs to Israeli settlers. The Israeli occupation is Judaizing the West Bank through an Israeli system of apartheid.

Urgent: Israeli soldiers are beating Dr Hussam Abu Safiya to death with a hammer. 'They brought me here to kill me,' he told his lawyer, who barely recognised the paediatrician because of the torture inflicted on him for refusing to abandon his patients.

"This should serve as a wake up call to those liberals who think that Israel’s problem is just Netanyahu. When it comes to peace & recognition of Palestinian rights & humanity, all of those running to replace Netanyahu are just as bad as he is." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

'Andrea Egan, general secretary of a union that is affiliated to a right-wing, racist, ableist, and transphobic political party blurted something or other that makes her sound like she gives a fuck.' #disaffiliatenow @unison.org.uk

During the night, Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian land in Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah.

A decade after France was liberated from Nazi occupation, Algerians were fighting for their own independence & freedom (from France). The French used chemical weapons against them, and are even now trying to cover up the extent of what they did.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE LAWYERS CONCEDED THAT 'SEX' REFERS ONLY TO ASSIGNED SEX AT BIRTH

I went for six weeks, and found a terrified people on day 3 and really came up against a racist culture (after plenty of earlier hints) on day 10; and then spent four weeks in East Turkestan, which showed me just how fucking terrible it is as an oppressive state. #China

New video drops tomorrow at noon - The US Government's 140 Year War on Anarchists The Prairieland sentences set a dangerous precedent, but this persecution is nothing new. The American state has been waging war on anarchists for 140 years.

Labour would improve accessibility for delivery drones before it does for disabled people.

In #Perth, of all places, for a day of Crass-inspired events. We start with a psychogeographic tour of the city. #punk #anarchism

Campaign group Protect the Wild described the report as "the most crushing blow to the Guga hunt yet". www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

#OtD 4 Jul 1998 best friends Lin Newborn, an African-American skinhead, and Daniel Shersty, a white US air force serviceman, members of Anti-Racist Action were murdered in the desert near Las Vegas by white supremacists workingclasshistory.com/2021/01/11/e...

Something rotten in the state of education? #edchat #Highered #EduSky #students

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

Given the anti-LGBTQ+ hatred from Labour, the Tories, and Reform, this is hardly surprising, is it?

Since our founding last summer Trans News Network has taken on everything from the New York Times' bigotry to Epstein's anti-trans cronies and much, much more. As a worker-run news org, we're dedicated to journalism that's in-depth, hard-hitting and unrepentantly radical. Help us keep doing it:

#OtD 3 Jul 1988 the US Navy shot down Iran Air flight 655, a civilian plane with 290 people on board, all of whom were killed. The US was supporting Saddam Hussein's Iraq against Iran, and the crew who carried it out were decorated as heroes stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1019...

People need to learn Acab means also the one in their head.

I support a sick person and I’m part of groups with similar people involved and we agree that the paranoia and mental suffering our loved ones feel when they see talks of “slashing welfare” is akin to abuse. It’s mass abuse of sick and disabled people and Labour are dancing to this vile tune.

Apparently, it is possible to tax stupidity.

He won't/can't.

First they came for the languages. In the hope that no one would have the words to say what was happening. 1/9🧵

The $400m flying bribe has shelves of fake books, some titled “Library”.

Our universities are being wiped out through a total disregard at state & government level for education (plus, of course, a racist obsession with "net migration", on top of brexit). The UK is a country in accelerated decline - by design.

Thanks to @demleftscotland.bsky.social for publicising the boat tour of the Firth of Forth's energy history I'm leading on Sat 11 July. We'll visit sites related to coal, oil and gas and renewables which are pivotal to Scotland's environment, economy, politics and history. Details 🔽

This kind of stuff is designed to serve a particular purpose, specifically absolving a genocidal state built on ethnic cleansing. "This isn't about Israel, it's about individual wrong'uns." No, it's about an ethnostate conditioned for racism and violence. #Israel is the problem, not #Netanyahu.

Sanction *the country*, lads. It’s not an engine of genocide, war crimes and torture because its PM is a wrong un, although that doesn’t help. It’s that because the whole society has been deliberately conditioned over decades for permanent war, massacre and expansion into the lands of lesser people.

Far too late, but OK. DWP and the Home Office - the two departments (and ministers) most devoted to far-right discourse - are still on it, though, as are many other ministers and backbench MPs. #fascistUK

This article links to a really useful heat adaptations guide for arts/culture venues from Shade in the UK. Lots of easy to implement measures, alongside the major things that organisations now really should be looking at when they're planning refurbs. juliesbicycle.org/wp-content/u...

A vital piece of trans allyship is actually in supporting children's rights to bodily autonomy from the out. Someone is complaining their child wants to cut their hair short or grow it long? Point out that it's the child's hair. Why shouldn't they have it how they want it? Why is that parent upset?

"two immigration stories dominate the news" says the #r4today presenter, as if their editorial choices have nothing to do with it.

The Times (via Politico): "Christopher Harborne, who has given Reform £15 million and Nigel Farage personally £5 million, owns a jet fuel company that sources from refineries using large volumes of Russian crude oil."

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge.
