Today we stopped by the house where Kurt Cobain lived as a child

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

To the soldier who points a gun at me You think I’m here to die. You think that’s all we know how to do - bleed, bury, break. But listen. I grow things. - Sameh Shahrouj, Palestina

We are all Palestine Action!

Edward Heath blocked US use of UK bases to defend Israel in 1973. Harold Wilson resisted US pressure to send troops to Vietnam. From the ’50s to early 2000s, the UK imposed full arms embargoes on Israel for breaking international law. We can choose not to be America’s poodle.

The “too young” to be a politician thing always gets me. Run for office.

How can the world and future generations forgive the ‘USA’ for what it has done and is doing to the people of Gaza and, more broadly, West Asia The US *could* be a beacon of justice for the world, it really could be great. Instead it is a fragile bully unable to acknowledge its foundation.

The phenomenal campaign of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has caused panic among the elites. Whether he wins the Democratic nomination or not (🤞), his campaign offers the Western left crucial lessons. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Happy Mothers Day

Trying to silence Kneecap and Louis Theroux isn’t going that well for the z¡0s because they are dirty old reptilian heads whose time is over.

Imagine the western reaction if Iran had bombed a humanitarian aid ship trying to feed starving civilians. Imagine if Russian forces were caught massacring medical workers in ambulances. Imagine If China bombed an international humanitarian aid convoy in clearly marked vehicles.

Anyone who can uproot an olive tree does not belong to that land. But your love of the land and of the place you call home, will always hold a loving rooted connection to place. You understand stewardship and care and love, and striking beauty.

I couldn’t care less whether companies use synthetic or naturally-derived dyes — I have zero skin in the game. The issue? The war on “synthetic food dyes” isn’t about food dyes: It’s about letting uninformed opinions & misinformation undermine science, data, & public health. A thread 👇🏻 1/

Gary Stevenson next to an example of a manufactured ‘culture war’ issue. The elites would rather we argue about over hyped ‘issues’ relating to the most marginalised of us than turn our ire toward them. The peripheries of our societies are where the goodness is. The elites are parasites

Ex-BBC presenter @karishmapatel.bsky.social calls out the BBC's Gaza coverage for what it is: disinformation. 👏👏

Fair point but maybe not that people want to ‘be an American that bad’ more like wanting to not be at the receiving end of US global hegemony/ policy? @henryrollins21361.bsky.social
