#OtD 8 Mar 1979 women who had participated in the Iranian revolution took to the streets with the slogan: "We did not make a revolution to go back!" The protest came shortly after the announcement of a law making wearing of the hijab mandatory stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1...

What the government can’t afford:

❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance

What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.

Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster?

They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel.

Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.

Meanwhile Putin is laughing his head off. With Trump heralding Monroe Doctrine 2.0 (the US does what it likes in its 'hemisphere'), legitimising annexation of places close and distant, and violating every verdict of the Int Courts, Putin's annexations are fully normalised.

"Leave or die' Trump tells the Palestinians of Gaza, endorsing the war crime of ethnic cleansing as official US policy. Europe now has to make its choice: Leave NATO immediately or forever be remembered as Trump's lieutenant in this crime against humanity www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The journalists' job (very seldom discharged) is to hold power to account, *regardless of the nature of that power*. But when I criticise the failings of this government, I get widely told to leave it alone for fear of letting in the Tories/Reform. Sorry. Accountability is the essence of democracy.

Trump will not be the last trump. The voting booth cannot be the only line of defense against this fascism. The end is already here if the US is this susceptible to collapse as a democratic state each & every election. This is the single most pressing & largely ignored lesson from his 1st term.

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

🚨 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Update:

The Israeli military informed Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHRI) this morning that they have no record of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s detention.

PHRI had requested this information to arrange a lawyer’s visit on January 2, on behalf of his family.

Who can defend Bashar after watching broken hearted mothers searching for proof of life among the ruins of his torture chambers.
