#OtD 8 Nov 1875 pioneering Chinese revolutionary and feminist Qiu Jin was born in Xiamen. She started a girls' school which was actually a training camp for revolutionaries to overthrow the Manchu royal family. After a failed uprising she was beheaded stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1084...

It's not really a coincidence that the people who freak out the most about Mamdani are also the people most feverishly opposed to anything, anything at all being done to punish Israel behavior that virtually everyone agrees is bad

Can't thank @thedigradio.bsky.social enough for teaching me about Palestine, Israel, and Zionism. This interview with Mohammed El-Kurd hit me the hardest thanks to its more personal tone, but also great are: Mouin Rabbani, Richard Seymore, and Ussama Makdisi. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard. I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

More power to Mahmoud and all the others who are facing the wrath of this regime, whether in detention or fleeing from it.

keep throwing money at the problem but that is the very problem! people will always win.

I have been screaming for publicly owned grocery / agriculture infrastructure for years (UBI for food would build community, take pressure off of people's budgets, & solve the foodbank crisis). the NDP/Libs/Cons tax break pissing match in the election was infuriating. THINK BIGGER. DO BETTER.

Oh well then that's fine.

ICE agents acting like the most after-school-PSA stereotype of creepy child-predators imaginable, what a surprise

“These people—the Times, Clyburn, Summers—are so scared, so unable to conceive of a world without them and their worldview at its core, that they will, every time, choose the monsters they have known for generations over anyone they can’t imagine gaining access to.” —Rebecca Traister

A new reservation policy brought in by India’s BJP-led central government attempts to shift Jammu and Kashmir’s politics to the ruling party’s benefit, and has left the union territory’s newly elected administration in a tricky spot, writes Burhan Majid

“Take a breath man, it’s not that serious.” Unbelievable statement an ICE agent told a man who collapsed after being handcuffed following his immigration hearing. The overzealous agents had the wrong man & would have kidnapped him had his attorney not insisted in reviewing the arrest warrant.

Banana producer Chiquita has announced mass layoffs in Panama amid an ongoing strike. The United States-owned banana giant said on Friday it was letting “all” daily labourers go for the “unjustified abandonment of work at our plantations”. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/...

The nations have agreed to an internationally mediated agreement sparking scenes of celebrations in Kashmir.

two nuclear states agreeing to ceasefire, even temporarily, is necessary. however, do not forget Kashmir is still occupied. And, in the long run, we will see more militarization in subcontinent, hindutva forces will be emboldened, water & resource wars will escalate, indian fascism will ramp up.

"We live in constant fear. We don't know when the next shell will fall…" As India-Pakistan fighting intensifies, at least 16 die, 59 injured, many flee, homes destroyed, others live in the open. Abrar Fayaz & Zaid Malik report from J&K border villages article-14.com/post/-save-u...

BREAKING: Pakistan’s army spokesman said an Indian drone attacked a military target near Lahore overnight, wounding four soldiers, while the country’s air defense system shot down 12 Indian drones that entered Pakistani airspace at various locations.

Other than Andor, what's your favorite antifascist fiction?

Today 8th May, we remember the #Sétif, #Guelma and #Kherrata massacres in colonial Algeria. Victory day in Europe is intimately tied to French state murder of Algerian anticolonial fighters.

As an Indian national I want to be unequivocal: Modi’s systematic destruction of Kashmiri rights has endangered my family on a scale we hadn’t imagined since the 1970s. Pakistan is not my enemy; Hindutva is.

Journalist and author @naomiaklein.bsky.social says that because Trump has not met campaign promises to lower prices and boost the economy, he has leaned into the more “sadistic” aspects of his agenda.

While Western AI discourse tends to focus on the mirage of AGI, in India it is sold as a quick fix that will bring 'development' to the masses. For @casipenn.bsky.social's India in Transition, @bulletprooflama.bsky.social examines the Indian flavour of AI hype: casi.sas.upenn.edu/iit/mila-t-s...

In my latest, I track the genealogy of "digital public infrastructure", showing all that has been excised from the concept to make it convenient for IOs, funders and govts. "Digital public infrastructure" has captured the imagination but it must be reinvigorated if it is to be worth its name.

If you are not in India, one of the concrete actions you can take to support Kashmiris is to normalise referring to India-Occupied Kashmir IN FRONT of your Indian-origin colleagues. Make it commonplace to support Kashmir's freedom struggle.

This person is a journalist & has a dismal understanding of how fundraising is happening amidst genocide but felt absolutely no qualms claiming a family in Gaza was being fraudulent 👇🏾 shameful

Earlier this week, our own Jessy Edwards interviewed the woman who was attacked by a pro-Israel mob in Crown Heights, about the events of that night and the NYPD's response.
