This is the moment our member and dear comrade Steve Sweeney was almost killed by the Israeli Zionists, acting hand in glove with US and British Imperialism. Steve has been reporting on the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. His news pierces the imperialist-Zionist Propaganda. Here he was making an on-the-ground report in Lebanon. There can be no doubt that this was 100% premeditated and targeted at Steve, in line with the Israeli policy of murdering journalists to kill the evidence of their atrocities. It is almost certain that our “Labour” prime minister @Keir_Starmer, and “Labour” foreign secretary @YvetteCooperMP and Armed forces minister @JohnHealey_MP, and other cabinet level “Labour” ministers were aware of and green-lit the assassination attempt. Make no mistake, comrades. We are at war. And the Labour Party is the enemy running the imperialist murder machine. They walk among us. Anyone who supports Labour is the enemy of the British workers.

"Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act." ~ George L. Jackson

BREAKING : Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 has denied permission to the United States 🇺🇸 for landing its war planes in the country and use it for the war against Iran. 🔥 This tiny island nation has more SPINE than many so called super powers 🫡👏🏻

Activists from several nations are joining a mission to take aid to Cuba, including several who took part in the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza. The Nuestra America aid mission is taking place as the US continues to restrict vital oil supplies, crippling Cuba’s economy.

“Solidarity cannot be embargoed.” The Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba 🇨🇺prepares to set sail.

Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson just went on CNN in Turkey & spoke a truth the whole world needs to hear: “Israel wants all Arabs and Muslims to die. It’s possessed with this Zionist lie that it’s entitled to control the land from the Nile to the Euphrates. It is a fascist regime.”

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

I have studied China for years and have been banging the drum for buffer stocks in essentials like food and energy with Western policy makers. The response was always some version of market fundamentalism: it’s not efficient, it distorts prices etc. Well, here we are.

Kneecap shows solidarity with Cuba.

'Ireland’s neutrality is important not just to protect ourselves from being dragged into senseless wars. Ireland’s neutrality is essential to keep alive the hope for just climate futures.' Prof Jennie Stephens on anti-militarism & climate justice. irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

Mamdani invokes James Connolly and Ireland's resistance to British imperialism, while the Taoiseach praised Winston Churchill, the man who sent the Black and Tans to Ireland and then Palestine.

Tomorrow we leave for Cuba, via Panama, bringing hundred of kilos of vital medicines to the island. An island being cruelly strangled by the USA for over 60 years, despite total international calls to stop. An embargo that's now killing Cubans. Support Cuba - the USA is evil.

Fanon famously wrote, "Every spectator is a coward or a traitor," and few things are as cowardly as those who wield cultural capital and do nothing with it. Art, whether it be music, movies, poetry, or paintings, has a bidirectional relationship with reality. It both reflects and shapes the material world. It can maintain systems or attempt to transform them. The question in this critical hour is what do we make of art that has castrated itself and sold its teeth for comfort? Citing Nina Simone, I asked Mumia for his thoughts on the production and consumption of art that soley offers escapism as the solution. He agreed with Fanon: if your art is not a weapon, you have failed. We are flanked by failure, drowning in it, and we beg for more. Full conversation: youtube.com/hate5six
