NZ election 2023: Labour out, National in – either way, neoliberalism wins again theconversation.com/nz-election-20… via @ConversationEDU
Things In Palestine May Never Be the Same Again thenation.com/article/world/…
Today, Macron banned the French people from rallying in support of Palestine. The French people responded exactly how you might expect. This, in the last hour.
Just to confirm my view that international human rights law & the Geneva Convention must be adhered to & that the blockading of supplies of water, electricity & food to Gaza is contrary to international law. We need voices across the international community standing up for this.
Previously (for 18 years) both National and Labour had a policy to increase benefits only by inflation. This halved the value of the benefit as a percentage of the average wage. 1news.co.nz/2023/10/12/pol…
In cities across the US, tens of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate their support for the Palestinian liberation struggle. This outpouring was part of a historic global wave of solidarity actions. The world says, FREE PALESTINE! 🇵🇸
✊Join the urgent call to take Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terrorism list & end the blockade on the island! We need 1 million signatures. #OffTheList #LetCubaLive ➡️ Sign now: letcubalive.info
The terrorist act on Cubana Airlines Flight 455 is just one of many tragic instances that highlight the hypocritical designation of Cuba as a so-called "state sponsor of terror" by the United States. It is not a sponsor of terror, but a victim of U.S. imperialism!

At the UN General Assembly, Colombia's President Petro reminds the world that "Latin America was invaded several times by the same people that are now talking about fighting invasions" in Ukraine. He asks why the U.S. has billions of dollars to wage war, but not for anything else
Earth is outside its 'safe operating space for humanity' on most key measurements, study says apnews.com/article/earth-…
A short film about why the dirtiest and most antisocial economic interests dominate our politics. I believe it's the key to understanding the terrible state we're in.

An incredible take from Marx’s mom
Gorbachev died. His legacy? Russia's GDP dropped by 40%. Real wages halved. Poverty ballooned from 2.2 million in 1987-88 to 66 million in 1993-95. Millions died under the brutal regime of privatization and shock therapy. Half a million women were trafficked into sexual slavery.
