Growing domestic reactionary movement with 100k on the streets. Climate disaster proceeding apace. Rearmament drives. Widespread political despair. Historic social democratic party torching its reputation. And we get this protracted public squabble. It is later than you think!
I'm in Parliament Square, London, UK, where police have begun to arrest hundreds of people holding signs saying "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" . Thread with updates >
I’d consider myself to be in somewhat OK shape but if Rob Valetini ran into me I’d land on the moon.

In contemporary Europe, AfD, Vox, Brothers of Italy, Rassemblement National may well call themselves "nationalists" or "sovereigntyist". But the sovereignty they actually defend is that of US Big Tech over captive Europe. This is why Musk and allies support them.
When unions are outlawed, only outlaws will have unions. Unions don't owe their existence to labor laws that protect organizing activities. 1/

It'll go far, far lower. What they did to the French Socialist Party and similar examples will also happen in Britain. I predict 15 percent by the end of 2025
It would’ve been so much easier for Greta to choose only “popular” struggles to talk about—ones the UN and its various bursaries deem “acceptable”. Instead she’s forged her own path and recognises tyranny when there’s tyranny, not just when it’s convenient. Big respect to her.

The grotesque face of late-stage capitalism: a government abdicates its duty to protect its citizens, asking the poor to crowdfund their survival. Meanwhile, energy corporations & billionaires gorge on the spoils of ecological collapse. We must rise against this moral bankruptcy.

A fairly insignificant incident of a few people getting a well-deserved kicking after a football match has completely destroyed the credibility of media organisations and politicians all over the world. Wonderful turn of events.
