the defining feature of liberalism is a belief that that a constitution binds the sovereign. it doesn't. it never has. and when they tell the guys with the guns to shoot you 'that's illegal!' won't stop them. only whether those guys with guns are willing to or are afraid enough not to.

If you didn't already know that Israel apologists use false accusations of anti-semitism to shut down criticism of Israel, you should know it now. When they're trying to tell you Greta Thunberg is a closet Nazi sending out obscure Nazi dogwhistles, it's right there in your face. Caitlin Johnstone

Good morning Bluesky friends! 🦋 With all that’s happening here in the USA — I can’t stop thinking of Greta Thunberg this morning!

Greta Thunberg and #FreedomFlotilla Crew just proved that it was Israel and not Hamas who was blocking aid to Gaza the whole time

Seeing the entire commentariat class tripping over themselves to scold Greta Thunberg only highlights the deep-seated rot within; namely that, just as with Corbyn, they cannot conceive of a person who is principled, altruistic and unshakeable in their beliefs, because they are none of those things.

At 2 a.m. local time, Israeli forces boarded the Madleen on its way to Gaza on its way to deliver humanitarian aid. "To know there are people willing to break the siege is beyond words," a Gazan who speaks to the boat's crew daily told Mondoweiss. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra... #Palestine #Israel

The tRUMP regime should have sent help immediately, just like Canada did for America!

Israeli forces seize Gaza aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg flip.it/3TNvzs ISRAEL CAN NO LONGER TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. THEY HAVE FREELY CHOSEN TO ESCALATE AND COMMIT GENOCIDE COMPARABLE TO THE HOLOCAUST. NETANYAHU & HAMAS ARE MOSTLY TO BLAME. BUT ABOUT 50% OF THE ISRAELI POPULATION ARE OK WITH IT!

They stop you buying the house from them and then give a corporation a loan to buy is so that both they, the bank, AND the corporations can claim rent from you

I don’t care when you woke up. If it was 30 years ago or yesterday. I’m just glad you’re here, comrades…because none of this is what we asked for. It was forced on us and it’ll take #solidarity to send it back where it came from. Don’t get fckd up. #SocialistSunday: youtu.be/ce2KN06dS7c?...

Climate change disproportionately impacts women and creates new vulnerabilities, while exacerbating existing gender inequalities. The communities most impacted are those in developing countries. By 2050, climate change could push up to 158 million more women and girls into poverty

When Marx posed the stark choice between Socialism or Barbarism he could not have predicted the urgency imposed by accelerating climate change #SocialistSunday

#OtD 8 Jun 1861 eight coalminers at the Redbank mine in Queensland, Australia, went on strike demanding an extra shilling per ton in pay. Often incorrectly described as the first strike in Queensland: in fact Chinese shepherds had gone strike before stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1081...

"This is not America," I say, having never paid attention to anything, ever

On a #SocialistSunday. Class rules everything around me. youtu.be/ssM31LQ0uKg?...
