We are 99% they are 1%.
Their power is entirely dependent on fear - solidarity always wins

Andy Walker @redwalker.bsky.social · 1d

Journalists should show some basic solidarity and stand with colleagues who are treated that way. Sadly that seems widely absent in the profession, along with any code of ethics.

Sadly judges are in the cohort that believe everything cops tell them.

Some independent Irish bookshops you can support rather than Amazon. And most offer free postage in 🇮🇪too.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

There are filters on here that ensure you only get to see inane bullshit from other NAFO idiots. Learn how to use them, you tool.

The point is that more immigration judges are not a solution

In the UK, you can be arrested for "terrorism" saying you disagree with a government decision

At an anti-genocide protest, a woman was arrested by the Metropolitan Police for holding up a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action.”

Is Latin America The Most Sanctioned Area In the World? — Castellum.AI

Latin America flies under the sanctions radar, but this region is more sanctioned by the world than North Korea (899 global designations) or Iran (1,672 global designations). As of late October 2021, ...

Lol. Electoral interference, sanctions, and funding insurgency groups isn't aid.

Hiring immigration judges is presumably outside your orbit too, but here you are suggesting that as a solution

Andy Walker @redwalker.bsky.social · 5d

Maybe a better compromise would be the USA stopping its long-standing political interference in countries to its south (and the rest of the world). Destabilising countries and then complaining about the resulting migration is rank hypocrisy

Own your filthy Nazi scum. He's English - like so many racist scum who are funding and fomenting race hate in Ireland.

We wait for the Board of Deputies to call for the end of genocide, or even the end of arresting people who oppose genocide. Is that too much for you centrists to speak out on?

Andy Walker @redwalker.bsky.social · 6d

This article is calling for solidarity. Absolute solidarity is right in combating antisemitism, but so it is in stopping genocide. David Rich is a scumbag who has consistently attacked anti-Zionists as antisemites and has absolutely no concept of solidarity

Andy Walker @redwalker.bsky.social · 7d

It is truly astounding how many people refuse to see that Israel cannot exist without the illegal theft of land, ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The current genocide is a logical conclusion of Zionism.

Andy Walker @redwalker.bsky.social · 7d

Solidarity is they key to stopping the far right and fascism. Standing against antisemitism and against Zionism is the same battle.

Bluesky CEO issued a fuck off elsewhere invitation to people who complained about hypocritical moderation decisions. Jay seemingly forgets that these were the original people central to Bluesky's success, and that such an invitation didn't work out well for Musk and Twitter

There was no real de-nazification of Germany and Austria, with the possible exception of those that were welcomed into the Americas to continue nazifying there.

My friend Sarah Clancy is currently in IOF captivity, kidnapped last night when her boat, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, was illegally intercepted in international waters.

Some boats are still sailing. Do what you can - wherever you are - to amplify & protest. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I am horrified by the news of multiple stabbings at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims of this heinous antisemitic attack.

We must defend a society where people of all faiths can practice their religion in safety and peace
