~ IT'S NOT COMPLICATED ~
The myth of complexity is a smokescreen to keep us powerless. Strip away the noise, empower people, and build the world we deserve.

It's an honour to hold elected office for the last 4 years & to continue this with our 4 new MPs for the last 10 months.

I'm ambitious about taking on a failing Labour Party and sending many more Green MPs to Parliament.

Keir Starmers BlackRock Britain.

"BlackRock is highlighting Labour’s entire political project rests on the willingness of companies like BlackRock to plough private capital into the foundational components of our society (and extracting massive profits in the process)."

Really important piece. 👇🏼
“Dear Secretary of State on behalf of all of us here at BlackRock, please find attached a formal letter of congratulations from myself and our UK Chair, Sandra Boss. And may I add, on a personal note, it is a pleasure after all these years to address you as such!”

It’s difficult to overstate what a huge deal this is. Perhaps, dare we hope, justice is finally coming for the people of Gaza. A first, historic step.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

The ICC arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif make clear that to continue selling arms to Israel is to aid and abet war crimes. It is utterly indefensible.

NEW: Israeli authorities have caused massive, deliberate forced displacement of Palestinian civilians in Gaza since October 2023 and are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Governments should adopt targeted sanctions and other measures, and halt weapons sales to Israel.

The idea that a two-state "compromise" resolves this conflict is for the birds. Social justice demands equality, not segregation. Two states entrench division, denies Palestinians the right of return, ignores injustice, and lays the foundations for perpetual oppression. #Palestine #Gaza

Compromise isn't always an option. If one side wants to harm or exclude, meeting halfway still accepts harm. The so-called 'center' paints itself as reasonable, but no middle ground avoids injustice when rights are at stake. Justice isn’t halfway between oppression and liberation. #NoCompromise

Really interesting report from @livingstreets.bsky.social that shows pedestrianised town centres have higher sales.

Pedestrians spend more money in local shops than people arriving by car.

You only have to look at towns and cities in the Netherlands to see this in action.

Keir Starmer is no longer complicit in genocide.

With the information he clearly now has - by continuing to sell arms to Israel - he's enabling a genocide.

A new UN report finds that the policies and practices of Israel are "consistent with the characteristics of genocide".

There is no excuse for saying you did not know.

This is genocide in plain sight.

I'd like to congratulate the french public on simply refusing to attend today's match between France and Israel.

It's very telling that despite being 10% full, Israeli fascists have still managed to cause trouble. CAN'T WAIT for our media to call it "antisemitism"

why do people keep claiming the Democrats want to act differently than they're acting?

if they wanted to act different, then they'd act different

and anyway, motives hardly matter when the actions are bad
