Palestine Action are about to be proscribed as a so-called terrorist organisation for disrupting a genocide. We must not let legalism or obedience prevent us from affirming that they are heroes write @peachtreepeartree.bsky.social & Tom Gann. newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

The Corbyn era inspired a new wave of socialist publications, including @newsocialist.bsky.social. Here, its editors Tom Gann and Josie Sparrow reflect on the challenges, ambitions and necessities facing left media today www.redpepper.org.uk/culture-medi...

I've delved into this newsocialist.org.uk/workers-worl...

This story on AI aesthetics and the far right has so many great lines. “Trump’s haircut, which we all seem to have become inured to, serves the same purpose. It looks like shit and that’s the point. It is a display of power and a small act of cruelty.” newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

"Whilst abolitionist and ecosocialist tendencies remain marginal in many ways, there exists the potential for them [in these land struggles] to represent these broad sentiments and to unify the widespread discontent of the public." www.newsocialist.org.uk/transmission... @newsocialist.bsky.social

Despite the fact that social democracy, as the article argues, doesn't exist as an option anymore, all I keep reading is people suggesting—both socialist and imperialist/fascist visions—yet one more attempt at building social democracy. @newsocialist.bsky.social newsocialist.org.uk/the-last-soc...

It's been 15 years since Tony Judt's Ill Fares the Land was first published, so I wrote this for New Socialist on how the book still stands up (not well) newsocialist.org.uk/the-last-soc...

Worth your time: “Leaving the means of production firmly in private hands was precisely what enabled capital to unpick Labourist reforms when a crisis of sufficient magnitude presented the opportunity.”

Despite its moral urgency, Tony Judt's polemic struggles to explain the decline of social democracy, while his proposed solutions ultimately fall well short of addressing the systemic crises and injustices we face today writes Tom Blackburn. newsocialist.org.uk/the-last-soc...

"The Cass Review is a youth liberation issue. It runs as deep as the way we raise children, and it extends as far as the bodily autonomy of all trans people living in Britain."// newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

Yes - this is such a pithy way of putting it: Rightists “want to assert, simultaneously, that unambiguous laws govern all aspects of being, while acting as though ‘truth’ is whatever they want or need it to be at any given moment.” newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

By relying on contemporary understandings of young people as confused and incapable of self-knowledge, the Cass Review is likely to create conditions which resemble the effects of Section 28 writes Lauren Taylor. newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

This is very much worth your reading

If you've been following me a while you might know that a friend of mine is being held by the UK government for allegedly taking action against Elbit Systems, a key supplier to the Israeli regime. You can learn more here in @newsocialist.bsky.social: newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

All Palestine Action have ever struggled for is a world in which Palestinians can live out their lives with freedom, dignity, and self-determination. Pushing us outside the law won't stop us writes Ravachol Mutt newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

New article from me in the New Socialist on how AI is the aesthetic of postmodern fascism.

Essential reading. I have a feeling that I'm going to be thinking of this essay a lot, for a long time to come

An actionist has been fined by the “Australian” State for targeting a weapons manufacturing university, during a protest for Palestine. Unsurprisingly the State has chosen to punish the comrade. As such they are raising much needed funds. newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

i was hoping someone would write about the intersections of AI aesthetics and fascism, and this by @garethwatkins.bsky.social is a fantastic, incisive read newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

"Historical justice is like posthumous fame––it demands the death of the victims. But justice delayed is justice denied,” writes Seraj Assi. newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

this is quite good and a very level-headed analysis of The State We’re In etc.
