The man who literally commanded RAF Greenham Common during a period of intense protest and direct action thinks this is all very silly.

Probably worth taking on board.

Wars crimes allegations are often blamed on lefty lawyers and evil foreigners lying about our brave troops. Often it is about soldiers whistleblowing. As in the current SAS war crimes inquiry...

300 million sperm in each ejaculation and somehow Keir Starmer was fastest. 🤷‍♂️

Seems like going far-right hasn't worked for Labour. But are they going to double down on it? Absolutely.

For 31 days, Israel has blockaded Gaza.

All bakeries have been forced to shut down, including 25 run by the World Food Programme.

Israel is using starvation as a tactic of genocide.

Israel is relentlessly bombing Gaza. Since early this morning, more than 40 Palestinians confirmed killed in Israeli attacks. Among the targets was an UNRWA clinic housing displaced people in Jabalia, killing at least 19. Children among the dead.

Israel just bombed people sheltering in an UNRWA clinic in Jabalia.

8 people have been killed, including 3 children.

This is the violence that Starmer is arming.

Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative—in other words, to become anarchists.

The Democrats represent authoritarianism lite. It was their neoliberal policies that concentrated so much power in Elon Musk's hands in the first place.

To abolish the structures that produce billionaire supervillains, we will have to do a lot more than vote.

Brandishing an oversize check for a million dollars from "America PAC," Elon Musk poses with a muddled-looking white guy in a Green Bay Packers hoodie against a background of stars and stripes.

The fact that Elon Musk's attempt to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court failed despite $25+ million in propaganda and bribery shows there is a force more powerful than greed.

But everyone knows that force is hatred of fascist billionaires—not support for the Democratic Party.

"Gaza is the deadliest place in the world to be an aid worker. More than 400 aid workers have been killed in the conflict", says foreign minister of the UK, which continues to arm Israel.

Israel announces military operation expanding in Gaza to seize 'large areas'

One often hears that antiwar protests in the late 60s and early 70s were ultimately failures, since they did not appreciably speed up the U.S. withdrawal from Indochina. . But afterward, those controlling U.S. foreign policy were so anxious about being met with similar popular unrest that they refused to commit U.S. forces to any major ground conflict for almost 30 years. It took 9/11, an attack that led to 1,000s of civilian deaths on U.S. soil, to fully overcome the notorious “Vietnam syndrome” and even then, the war planners made an almost obsessive effort to ensure the wars were effectively protest-proof. . Propaganda was incessant, the media was brought on board, experts provided exact calculations on body bag counts, and the rules of engagement were carefully written to keep the count below that. . - David Graeber
