🇮🇱🇺🇦 Israel first sold RADA radar to Ukraine, and six months later sold it to the Russians. That's why Russia started shooting down our reconnaissance UAVs, - commander of "Ragor" regiment

When Starmer and company said there was no need to march because of the current ceasefire (even though Palestinians are still being killed) more people turned out than ever before! Keep marching! Keep protesting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians! This whole thing ain’t over!!

The Trump-backed Gaza ceasefire deal "is not a peace agreement," says Palestinian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu. "This is not an end to the occupation."

Half of Scotland's land is owned by less than 1% of the people. We have some of the most unequal land distribution in Europe!

It's time to curb the power of super rich land hoarders and start giving ordinary Scots and communities new opportunities.

Hard agree. Progressives frame racism in economic terms because it plays into their priors about being fundamentally good, and because it makes the problem amenable to progressive policy solutions. At best 'people turn to racism because of poverty' is a partial account.

Prof Nisreen Alwan @nisreenalwan.bsky.social · 7d

Sorry I keep talking about this but I’m genuinely alarmed by the growing narrative that poverty is a cause of racism. First it’s super insulting of people on low incomes. Second it normalises & excuses racist takes. And third it deters real action on racism by shifting the whole focus to economics.

You don’t need to be a rebel to defy. Defiance isn’t about personality, it’s a practice – one that’s becoming essential in workplaces, politics and everyday life.
