Around 20 masked fascists attacked a Socialist Workers Party public meeting in Glasgow. The Socialist Equality Party demands that police arrest and charge those responsible.

My comments on the triumph of Arab science and their contribution to preserving Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, during the dark ages, until it transitioned 500 years later to Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho Brah, Kepler, Vesalius, da Vinci, Gilbert. Without the great centers of Arab science in Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, all would have been lost. There would be no SpaceX, Anthropic, Meta, or at least not for another 500 years. You can take that to the bank

#Trump piles on racist lies against #ElSayed. After the #fascist's 2016 victory, #Obama said “we're actually all on one team” ... “We're patriots, ”
He just made jokes about the dictatorship we face and the wars he & Trump support.

The Democrats WILL NOT fight for Medicare for All.
They will not fight for a living wage of at least $25 an hour.
They will not fight for ending all US aid to the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel.
They will not fight to cut record-high military budgets.
And Democrats will not impeach Trump for rampant corruption or for the war crime of bombing the Minab girls' school and killing 120 little children.
.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto."
"If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."

Excellent visual summary of my last report on MEDIA and Genocide
▶️Israel has tried all it could to eliminate professional reporting from/on Gaza: through propaganda, censorship, influencers
▶️Western media has often been Israel's house organ:for habit, convenience or just racism

Weaponizing tragedies? You DIDN’T condemn a terrorist attack on a federal agency. You lie about vaccines. When people believe your lies, they could die. Preventable death is both lame & violent. If anyone is engaging in “violent and lame defamation” it’s you

In opposing the school paraprofessionals’ bonus, #Mamdani has stepped forward as a champion of the Taylor Law, presenting it as a progressive measure that protects “collective bargaining.”
In fact, it is a vicious, right-wing anti-strike statute.

2026 wasEurope's hottest summer on record. 32,600 deaths were directly attributed to climate change, driven by fossil fuels according to the peer reviewed journal, Nature Health.
