Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

ABC, SYD: 'Thousands of people have marched through Sydney’s CBD as part of an “Australia Unites Against Government Corruption” rally organised by several splinter groups. There is a large police presence monitoring the rally, which saw several busy streets closed between Town Hall and Sydney’s Hyde Park. The crowd, many who are flying the Australian national flag, have regathered at Hyde Park to listen to a raft of speakers who have expressed a range of agendas. Those topics have included anti-vaccination, anti-immigration, anti-digital ID, anti-cashless society, and other sovereign citizen sentiments.'

1/ My h0ttt take on the r/w nationalist rallies of SEP 13:

• Turnout was much smaller than on AUG 31 & counter-rallies were relatively better attended, w many expressing anti-Nazism
• Nazis were almost-entirely absent
• In addition to xenophobia, rally-goers were motivated by a grab-bag of issues

The UPF and Reclaim Australia aren't 'concerned parents' or a bad joke | Andy Fleming Don’t get sucked in by the hijinks of far-right activists: active neo-Nazis are welcome and hold leadership positions in a movement gaining in appeal

I reckon this Andy Fleming bloke may have been on to something here.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

NEW: In 40 cities across Australia, an estimated one million people have been on the streets calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza.

These were the scenes in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.

our piece in Heatwave's tariffs dossier: "a major source of its wealth, Australia’s dependence on exports casts the fate of the national economy on the shifting sands of the world market, a totality which increasingly appears 'to lurch from crisis to war'.” clearinghouse.noblogs.org/post/2025/07...

clearinghouse.noblogs.org/post/2025/07... Réalité's thoughts on why collective research matters: "dogmatism and the denial of reality as protection against a world that has become more threatening are today the ultimate proof of the inability to understand it, and above all to transform it."

Raf Sciortino on the Chuang volume Red Dust, afterword to the Italian edition: "we can expect that any critique of their work will only be possible thanks to the very contributions that Chuang have made to the marxist reflection upon the 'Chinese question'.”

Clearinghouse's new website has articles including Raf Sciortino on the work of the Chuang collective, what the Trump tariffs might mean for class dynamics in and around Australia, remembering Alex Parke, and Réalité's approach to collective research - clearinghouse.noblogs.org
