“Overcoming difference is not the same as washing it away. Political solidarity is a recognition that we have a mutual interest in organizing together to create a political force that can change the conditions that we all suffer from, even if that suffering looks different based on social position.”

Defence minister says Somalia has ‘confirmed information’ that Israel plans to forcibly move Palestinians to Somaliland.

Decided in this moment to reread some Galeano. First page: “The more freedom is extended to business, the more prisons have to be built for those who suffer from that business.”

Not one word of condemnation by our government of Trump's illegal act of war in Venezuela. Not one word.

*Emergency protest, Cascade Steps Bristol* *Monday 5 January – 5pm* The forced removal and kidnapping of Venezuelan president Maduro is a war crime. This protest is part of coordinated actions taking place all across the UK on Monday afternoon to demand the British government condemns ✊

not surprising but saddened to see in my Latinx and specifically Venezuelan group chats people saying 'theyve been saved' and how they've been waiting so long for this moment.....even though I dont agree its important to understand the mindset of the people who have lived through Maduro's regime..

The UK’s new Critical Minerals Strategy outlines how the government will source the minerals needed to fuel its growth agenda. @jakesimms.bsky.social warns the strategy will bring death & destruction to mineral-rich countries, as communities demand a different approach: newint.org/mining/2025/...

No one way works, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down. - Diane di Prima

Support the Hunger Strikers, Free the Filton 24, and don't stop until every factory of death in my city and on our planet is ashes and rubble.

People need to understand that starving in custody is exactly what our government wants for protestors. No convictions to be overturned, no obvious brutality by the agents of state violence to be condemned for, just 'the consequences of remandees' actions' to blame. Chilling action from sociopaths

“For No War But the Class War”: Reflections on the Inaugural Meeting of the Network of Anarchist Internationalists

Andrew Callaghan and Channel 5 team are seriously one of the best "independent journalist" out there right now. From covering stupid shit like MAGA rallies in the most empathetic way, to interviewing Chet Hanks, to this. Their range is insane.

🔈 Stop appeasing your racist uncle We have a collective responsibility to call out hatred and harmful rhetoric wherever we find it. To not do so is to be complicit, and allow these ideas to continue to permeate through our communities. buff.ly/3vVq6FL

It's almost the solstice, the light returns inevitability (even if it does so in installments). Here comes the sun.

'wars are driven by the financial interests of the ruling capitalist class and that the only way to effectively end all wars is to end class society."

Just a reminder six (6) days ago the BBC ran an article minimising the possibility the US was invading Venezuela for their oil. www.bbc.com/news/article...

💬 And the decision to shelve bolder, widely supported reforms raises serious questions about the role of money in politics. We warn that too many of the Budget's decisions appear shaped less by evidence than by private influence.

📢 Tend to agree that the rich weren't hit nearly hard enough in the Budget but the lifting of the 2-child benefit cap is a welcome, moral, and long overdue step in the right direction... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sudan & Sudanese people have always been integral to the global struggle for Black liberation. Revolutionaries like Amical Cabral, Thomas Sankara & Malcolm X credit Sudan with developing their political consciousness. Citing the revolutionary spirit of our people & being embraced in our kinship.

Absolutely packed with people, amazing workshops/talks, great stalls, incredible food and lovely company. Just what the head and heart needed 🩷✊🏽

Being historically illiterate costs us a lot.

Do you live in an apartment complex? How about printing out some fliers letting your neighbors know that on a particular day of the week, u will be cooking X extra meals and that anyone who needs one can stop by your place at X hour to pick one up no questions asked? Can even leave them at the door.

Well done Caerphilly!

The burial of a report exposing the Met police's institutional racism shows a lack of commitment to change. Black, minoritised, and migrant communities deserve transparency. The Met must make the report public and accept the findings of the report and the Casey Review on force culture.

The government is preparing to announce it’s (delayed) child poverty strategy. Undermining the goal to end child poverty are harmful policies and deprivation. Bold coordinated solutions are needed. Read more ⬇️

Loneliness, disconnect & lack of community are radicalizing people into everything from conspiracy theories to cults to fascism. Care is the antidote.

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

There is work being done by individuals+orgs around the wider harms capitalism is causing society and the impact of living in a hyper capitalist, colonialist, white supremacist is having on us.

Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!

The UK has a disproportionately high prison population of around 1.34%. Of that population, Black people are approximately twice as overrepresented as white people. The prison system is violent, cruel, and racist and should be abolished.

On the bus making my way to the counter protest...ironic that a small group of fascist teens, also going to the protest are on the bus and singing 'you can never trust a leftie with your kid's ...ironic cause as soon as we get into Bristol we will be physically separated by the police ..

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

As fascism becomes more entrenched, microblogging will become even less reliable and likely useful as a site for communicating. So many bots, bad actors and an inability to discern.

Everyone out against the fash in Bristol Coty Centre on Sunday yeah? Together we can all finally answer the question "can Rob Gould swim as well as the Colston statue?".
