Hoy, la organización vecinal del pueblo vasco ha paralizado el desahucio de una mujer, su hija y sus dos nietas menores en Bilbao. Grandes.

The Government™ has made an ad about the protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.🌍🌎🌏

Huge show of defiance from antifascists in France this weekend, called by @MSolidarites. Over 30,000 protested outside fascist Rassemblement National's conference on Saturday. Police tried to block undocumented migrant collectives from joining, but they resisted and blocked roads

🗓️ On this day, 26 October, 1900: anti-imperialist women's lib "lioness" born British rulers of Nigeria hoped Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti represent their “benevolent imperialism”. Instead she became a feared opponent, known as the “Lioness of Lisabi”. buff.ly/y0LwmAR

🚩 Teach Yourself Marxism The Cornell 7 case has once again shone a light on institutional sexual abuse. Why do universities, churches, governments and other respected institutions choose to protect their reputations at the expense of survivors of abuse? buff.ly/ElQKt85

🚩 France in revolt Riots aren’t mindless — they're political The establishment wants us to dismiss riots as irrational violence and looting as greed. But throughout history, street rebellions have challenged the power of the state, writes Judy Cox. buff.ly/WYASUS8

Reject the Board of Deputies The Board of Deputies' declaration that The Green Party of England & Wales is a "racist" party would be laughable if it wasn't so disgusting.

This is the French youth, the one they don’t want you to see.🥹
Grenoble, 24 octobre 2026. 3 jeunes prennent par la main une femme en panique piégée par les mouvements de foule dans l’Av Albert 1er de Belgique et l’éloignent du cortège qui se trouve sous les tirs de lacrymogènes.

Em 1974 o cravo desarmou espingardas sem disparar um único tiro; hoje, ver um bastão esmagar essa mesma flor na mão de quem protesta em paz é ver a liberdade a ser espancada por quem jurou protegê-la.

Join us on Tuesday evening for the march against austerity. Too long our services have been underfunded, we've been underpaid, and our NHS allowed to deteriorated. We don't accept it! Time to stand up. #MarchAgainstAusterity #BudgetDay

Police protect blackshirted fascist militias in Nice, allow them to attack and injure peaceful demonstrators. Unacceptable.

Far-right tuber StevenGlasgow praises the openly fascist group Scottish Templars & their violent attack on a socialist meeting in Glasgow, They tried to kick the door into the meeting & disrupt it. They failed, but shows the threat the far-right poses to all our freedoms.

🚨 EXPOSED: Al Jazeera secretly films UKIP leader Nick Tenconi's plan to “build an army” to “just f*** things up”. He's sat with Jack Ross, who funnelled Zimbabwean money to the UVF terror group. They're violent fascists and grifters. We're building a movement to stop them.

The French are decades ahead of Americans when it comes to politics: “It started with the student revolt, but it concerns the entire society. We are fighting against the government, against war, and against capitalism. The entire society needs to change.”
Macron’s regime telling the French they can’t protest backfired spectacularly. According to France’s CGT trade union nearly 800,000 people are protesting today. Vive la révolution!

In light of the Bell Review into antisemitism in schools and colleges, let's look at how other groups of children suffer abuse in schools. * Bell Review: A lot has already been said about the flawed methodology and limited amount of data on Jewish children who actually experienced antisemitic abuse; mainly, comments. 29 out of 90, or 32%. Not all of this happened at school; some of it happened on the way to and from school. Most of this would have been directed at Orthodox Jews or those who can be identified as visibly Jewish. However, in school it would be very few. * The Bell survey was of 5000 UCAS students aged 16-19 (Jewish and mostly non-Jewish), and they were asked if they had seen, witnessed or experienced antisemitism. This isn't actually about antisemitism in schools; it is about broader antisemitism in society. * If we posed the same question to 5000 students asking if they had seen or witnessed anti-Islam/Muslim hate, the response would be a ridiculously high number because young people hear it in the media and see it on social media every day. However, that would not be the same as Muslims being abused in schools and colleges because of their race or religion. * So, leaving aside this Bell report, we examined other research about other children and racial or religious abuse. * In a JPR study published in February 2025, only 12% of Jewish parents reported antisemitism in schools. However, when we add figures for outside school and on the way to or back from school, the figure parents reported comes to 23% (including in school: 12%). * If we look at the figure for Muslim children from a government study in 2019, then 21% of Muslim children reported they had been actively bullied because of their religion. Bullying is actually worse than just the odd comment, as it involves sustained or a pattern of abuse. With a school population of over a million, that's a huge number of children. However, since 2019, hatred of Islam and Muslims has grown, and so has this figure. This probably needs updating. * We looked for data on Asian, Black, Chinese and White children in schools who had been bullied because of their race or religion, and there was no data, although there were percentages for those who had been bullied in other ways and felt it was because of their race. * The conclusion is that there was a serious issue of Muslim children being bullied in school because of their religion. Yet no one seems to have addressed this problem. * As for other background children suffering racism in schools, especially black and Asian children, who, because they visibly stand out, would have higher rates in school and on the way to school and back. * No children should suffer abuse or bullying because of their race, religion or other factors in school. Teachers should teach and ensure all are treated equally.
