Anti-imperialist = anti-capitalist = abolitionist (prison, police, borders, arms & armies) - unashamed to be a communist. Opposed to bullies who use ownership, gender, race, or sexuality to dominate others. Shame & dispossess the perpetrators!

“No work. No school. No shopping. Stop funding ICE.”

That’s the rallying cry behind the campaign for a nationwide general strike on Friday, seeking to galvanize opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Meet the Minnesota students behind today's national general strike campaign.

Kallas & Al-Sisi are both poodles of US-centred imperialism, both prepared to subject abject populations to unrestrained cruelty to support the globe-straddling military/industrial/tech war machine, even if one of them has more obviously bloody hands than the other.
This is the only posts in which the account of European Union High Representative and European Union Commission Vice President Kaja Kallas mentions Sudan here:

bsky.app/profile/kaja...

Ongoing genocide and world largest refugee crisis - but this is the attention given by Kallas & their staff.
Glad to meet President El-Sisi ahead of the first ever EU–Egypt Summit.

Together, we’re advancing our Strategic Partnership for more investment and economic opportunities.

The EU is ready to work with Egypt on all international issues, including Ukraine, Middle East, Sudan and Libya.

They will eventually arrest a white journalist just as they eventually murdered two white people but when it happens, the media profession will be shocked to discover that authoritarianism did not stop at the color line.
Arresting a journalist for covering a story is fascism. And it’s not a coincidence the administration has targeted a Black man, Don Lemon.

Sorry, re-posting because I accidentally mentioned the wrong stat. If your kid starts smoking in front of you and smokes their whole life, they have *15%* of developing lung cancer. If an adult gets three covid infections - just three - their risk of developing Long Covid is up to 40%
“The take-home message from this study is clear: long COVID is here to stay, even in children, & can be exacerbated by reinfections and sustained by high viral circulation. …Without decisive action, the long-term societal cost of long COVID will continue to rise.”

Labour lost Runcorn because they ran a terrible, Reform light campaign, an almost 15k majority overturned. The campaign was run by London, never saw the local party. Started with a petition to close an asylum hotel and telling us only Labour could stop Reform.
I voted #Green.
The ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY of Labour MPs is off the SCALE

After telling BLACK and BROWN people like me "STRANGER" in my OWN COUNTRY, having 1000s of us ARRESTED, after taking BLOOD-SOAKED BRIBES, after ENGAGING in GENOCIDE, after telling us to LEAVE, now they BLACKMAIL us for our votes

PRICKS!

Official figures published by the Ministry of Justice revealed that 394 people died in prison in 2025, marking a 15 per cent increase on the previous year & the highest prison death rate ever. We need to abolish prisons, which are primarily a means of class-based domination.
