Fifteen Jewish people getting killed on Bondi Beach doesn’t magically make genocide and apartheid okay, and it doesn’t magically make it okay to support those things. Supporting Israel was evil the day before the shooting, and it remained evil the day after. None of that changed.

The real sticking point on brokering a ceasefire isn't, it seems, Ukraine having to make painful territorial concessions to Russia.

No, it's Europe still insisting – after three years of bloodshed – that Kyiv be allowed to become a Nato forward military post on Russia's borders.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

You & Dems ruined it by ignoring genocide, funding proxy wars, and doing nothing for us. Expectations were low, and you all didn't even come close to meeting them. That's why they lost 6.4m votes from 2020 & you don't have a Popular Vote President in Kamala. Thanks for catching up to the facts.

Yeah, but on the other hand Marxism makes heaps more sense than expecting the ruling class to just allow a party to win power & introduce all these measures

If we'd need to defeat the ruling class just to introduce some minor reforms, why wouldn't we go all the way & abolish capitalism & the state?

Starmer’s advisers: What can we do to improve the country while keeping our polling high enough to win another election?

Starmer: What if we combine all of the cruelty of Tory policies but with none of the populism or the optimistic messaging

Please support Tony Greenstein, if you can, either by attending his court appearance or by contributing to his crowdfund as he fights off attempts by the UK state to make it a terrorism offence to oppose Israel's genocide.

A piece of Bluesky lore is that there was (is? idk) a guy who named his account after John Brown from Harper’s Ferry and then spent every single post being mad at anyone who advocated any political action other than voting

USSR didn't invade Poland.

Polish government and state collapsed, when USSR presented a note to Polish ambassador, he had no one to direct it to since polish govt was on shores of Romania, landing the ships to Britain.
I agree that dylanc78 is totally off base here. BUT, the USSR actually did invade Poland in 1939. It was promised to them in the non-aggression pact with Hitler. Just saying.
