Our campaign wasn't set up in 2022, but in 2014, when Russia occupied Crimea, and intervened in Donbas. We've been opposing Russian intervention in Ukraine, and supporting Ukraine's workers' movement over a decade. But back then pro-Russian views on the UK left were strong...

What an amazing boost of hope: hundreds of Jewish and Arab-Palestinian citizens gathered together in Haifa, a Jewish-Arab city in Israel, to send a clear message for partnership and for Israeli-Palestinian peace. We have a peace movement in Israel: @omdimbeyachad

And the country becomes increasingly more terrifying. I honestly don’t know what to say at this point, I’m full of fear and anxiety for my daughters future and her safety. Hate seems to be winning 🥺 and I feel sick to my stomach that we live in this country. – at United Kingdom

At the Workers' Summit event organised by the Socialist Workers' Party (yesterday in London) speakers, including the closing speaker of the whole event, argued a key part of building fighting trade unionism is opposing the Ukraine solidarity position adopted at TUC Congress.🧵

I'll save them the bother of doorstepping me. Yes some women have a penis. It's clear that Tory allies will help with their #waronwoke Vilification of trans people to distract from mess country is in. How about asking MPs if they will eradicate Homelessness & Child Poverty?

What?? Louise Distras hates trans people so much that she’s willing to dress in a style acceptable to Daily Mail readers in order to have a go at them. What does this have to do with feminism Louise? Or punk rock?

The far-right are escalating in Ireland. The people they've been targeting - refugees, the LGBTQ+ community, library workers - have been warning us. They do not represent working people. And they've no solutions to the real crises we face. Stand in solidarity, stand together!

Hi @SkyNews, it's not just the NHS, you are also culpable for the transphobia trans people face seeking basic healthcare, You published a "story" in 2019 which said 100s of young UK trans people were "seeking help" detransitioning, that was utterly untrue transphobic bullshit. 1/

Anti-trans marches were planned across Canada today. From what I’m seeing, most were vastly outnumbered by those marching in support of trans people everywhere. Incredible.
Anti-trans groups staged protests across 77 Canadian cities. Instead, they were largely outnumbered—in the thousands—by trans rights activists. Here's one of many incidents in Toronto, where a man chanting hateful messages fled after being confronted. @EVYSTADIUM reports:

A fab #SundaySingaround at @the_gaslamp last night (and almost every 3rd Sunday of the month, 7-10pm) - surely one of the best-sounding session rooms in the realm! Great compering/singing, as ever, from @KitK74 (including this devastating #LykeWakeDirge);

Dublin Festival of History will screen “From Dublin to Lyon: A History of Sex Work” in Pearse Street Library. The film documents the occupation of a church in Lyon by over 200 sex workers in 1975 to protest against police harassment. dublinpeople.com/news/arts-c…
