Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Can we stop calling the Labour Party progressive now? It looks like they’re about to restart private finance initiative projects which the Tories stopped in 2018 because they are terrible for public finances. Read that again - the Tories stopped this, and it looks like Starmer will restart them 🚨

It only took Hitler 53 days to dismantle German democracy. Afterwards everything Hitler did was legal. Opposing him was illegal. It's only a matter of time before opposing Trump will be illegal. That's why he's getting Guantanamo ready, to lock up protesters and critics.
