The new Counter Power podcast is out. I’m with @seemasyeda.bsky.social and @lukecooper100.bsky.social discussing how the far right has transformed and become a global force… and how we fight it 👇

Exclusive: Zack Polanski Accuses Nigel Farage Of 'Running Scared' Of Head-To-Head Debate The Reform leader said "if you pick a fight which a chimney sweep you get covered in soot".

We have 400 volunteers on the streets of Gorton and Denton today.

Labour are out of it. It's Greens vs Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money is being wasted on border controls, the detention estate, and shitty asylum ‘accommodation’ aka prisons that isolate people seeking safety from communities.

All that money could be spent on good, cheap social housing for EVERYONE.

Elon Musk had more extensive ties to Epstein than previously known, emails show Newly released files from DoJ show the pair making plans in 2012 and 2013 for the Tesla CEO to visit Epstein’s island

So Elon Musk asked Jeffrey Epstein “Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year …”. Working right on across the edge, he then became obsessed with the idea that only Muslim men in the UK operate child grooming gangs

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

So honoured to support the amazing team @jcwi-uk.bsky.social in this important work. The struggle carries on for liberation and the dismantling of colonial border regimes ✊🏽

Palestinian citizen of Israel wins UK asylum over ‘well-founded fear of persecution’ Exclusive: Refugee status granted despite attempt by former home secretary James Cleverly to block 26-year-old’s claim

Colonialism is crisis. It’s time for global movements around the world to rise up against extractive corporations driving war and militarism. #venezuela

The people have risen up to rid Minneapolis of ICE agent killers.

Governments and police don’t keep us safe. We keep us safe. This is how we build resistance.

The stupidity of decades of UK defence policy remaining dependent on America is now unveiling itself.

You gonna fight Trump’s annexation of Greenland with defence infrastructure dependent on US supply chains?

Pfft.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Empire. Unmasked. Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, Vietnam, Algeria, Venezuela.

‘National’ sovereignty doesn’t protect anyone from the imperialist logics of capital.

UK leaving European convention on human rights would be a mistake, equalities chief warns Mary-Ann Stephenson defends convention as ‘really important’ and warns against demonisation of migrants

From Sudan to Gaza, genocide and war show the human rights framework is already woefully inadequate.

Yet this government is organising transnationally to undermine it further, using migrants as scapegoats.

Migrants must have no debt??? The whole country is based on debt. That’s what Britain sells to the world. It makes our elite wealthy. But of course, their victims just deserve ever more punishment.

I’m on Islam Channel’s ‘THE DEBATE’ at 9pm tonight - discussing Shabana Mahmood’s draconian asylum plans.

Tune in online or on Sky 736, Freeview 264 or Virgin 838!

The government is not even trying to hide its far-right turn. Yesterday’s asylum changes show it clearly.

We will keep resisting the scapegoating of migrants, and we will always stand by one another.

The Home Secretary's asylum policy announcement is brutal and inhumane, as our Advocacy Director @seemasyeda.bsky.social told LBC News this morning.

Labour is implementing the slide to fascism. We call on all social movement forces to unite and resist.

Our comment on this horrifying case is featured in @theleaduk.bsky.social.

Thanks @lukebeardsworth.bsky.social for reporting on this story.

The government must stop wasting billions of pounds of taxpayer money enriching private corporations like Serco & create safe, permanent housing for everyone.

Police drop inquiry after man assaulted removing flags Tensions over divisive flag displays have erupted into violence in Norfolk, as police face criticism for inaction

Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action.

@eastangliabylines.co.uk @owensennitt.bsky.social

lol sorry should have read the whole thread!

I agree but also pessimistic of the intellect, optimism of the will & all that. Fractured parties that stand for nothing have done well in elections before… we shouldn’t be complacent about the risk & we should be optimistic about the possible success of a more radical project outside electoralism.

“pain and injustice” lol yes just that

Thank you 🥰

Pissed off GB News. Must be doing something right 🙌🏾

Hackney synagogue calls on Zack Polanski to suspend Green councillors who ‘rallied against Israel’ - The Jewish Chronicle An extraordinary meeting of the council, called to discuss a motion to cut all ties with ‘Israel’s genocide’, led to an ‘inflamed’ debate

My comment? I'm proud of Green councillors who are doing everything they can to bring attention to stopping the genocide.

The EU’s 2014 ‘Khartoum Process’ of border externalisation channeled €4.5 billion to African states, some of which ended up in the hands of the Rapid Support Forces, now inflicting famine & gen*cide in #Sudan. Find out more and support solidarity groups👇

‘They didn’t leave Labour - Labour left them!’

Zack Polanski’s comms is just so good.

Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms: A Decolonized Model of Humanitarian Aid As war rages in Sudan, where the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been locked in a brutal conflict since April 2023, a remarkable grassroots movement…

EU criticised for pausing sanctions on Israel in response to Trump Gaza efforts Pause on move to freeze preferential trade pact comes amid scramble to shore up fragile ceasefire

Israel is committing war crimes daily. It’s illegal, apartheid occupation continues. But because 20 rather than 100 people a day are being murdered, the EU stops pretending that it *might* do something.
