Looking forward to visiting @redemmas bookstore in Baltimore on May 14 to discuss Cold War Puerto Rico and all the issues it highlights: the island's colonial status, how 'McCarthyism' was used to enforce it, its military importance, Monroe and more. See: redemmas.org/events/

Why should Germany be allowed nuclear weapons and not Iran? I'm against ANY nuclear proliferation, but why is it taken as read that a country which started two world wars has more right to such a weapon than one which only last year suffered missile strikes by two nuclear powers.
DW Politics@dw_politics

European nations are starting to explore a shared nuclear umbrella. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the talks come as Germany faces renewed debate over whether it should develop its own nuclear defenses.

Like anyone who has tried to speak up for the Palestinians over the last few months, I have been multiply abused by Israel's defenders, including by some friends, for giving credence to the terrible casualty figures coming out of Gaza. Now it turns out they were accurate all along: a minimum of 70,000 corpses have been counted by health officials in Gaza, and the number still buried under the rubble may be many times that. But I'm not holding my breath for an apology...
Ori Goldberg@ori_goldberg

The IDF has announced that it "accepts" (!) the Palestinian estimate of 70000 dead over the last two years, not including those buried under the rubble. "Accepts" means that even the vast network of lies no longer holds. If the IDF "accepts" 70000, it has killed innumerably more.

So impressive and heartening that 100,000 joined today’s demonstration for Palestine. We said we were going to stay in the streets until the genocide really ends and Palestine is free, and today we proved it.

Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less. With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

Think about it... With Lammy also planning to ditch the right to trial by jury in most cases, people charged with offenses related to protests or strike action will find themselves in front of a hand-picked judge who'll dish our punitive verdicts. Democracy is truly in danger!
Defend Our Juries@DefendOurJuries

The judge due to rule on the proscription of Palestine Action is swapped last minute for a panel that includes a judge with a history of working for the government and another who ruled in favour UK selling jets to Israel. Accusations of a “stitch-up”. novaramedia.com/2025/11/25/a-s…

We're protesting today at 5 arms companies supplying Israel's military & being used to commit genocide in Gaza. As PSC Deputy Director Ryvka Barnard explains, both the companies & the British government know they are complicit in war crimes.

Banksy defies authoritarian Starmer... He's confirmed that this street art at the Royal Courts of Justice in London is his handiwork. Brilliant.

Just now in #Gaza City: the last remains of a residential building were crushed on top of a defenceless population. Israel’s barbarity defies words — and the world’s inaction is nothing less than complicity.

A Genocide is being livestreamed. We need widespread sanctions on Israel ◾️End all arms sales ◾️Suspend the UK-Israel trade deal ◾️Ban the import of goods from illegal Israeli settlements ◾️Freeze the assets of all responsible Words are not enough. Sanctions can stop this.
