Blatant discrimination! – at Sheffield, England

Only one force can take power from the capitalists & build socialism. It's not AOC or Zohran. It's not the Democrats. It's not academics on twitter. It's the working class through their own self-activity. You're going to have to convince them, & there are no shortcuts around that

'Goodbyeee', the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, was originally broadcast on this day in 1989.
We need to talk about things starting with we need to talk about.
But I don't want to talk about it. – at Sheffield, England

Will Labour next week in the budget tell us sad stories about "difficult decisions" and how there's "no money left?"
Or will this Labour Government challenge the broken economic thinking that has lead us to this place? And tax the assets of multimillionaires & billionaires?

Excellent from Sheffield Green Party pointing out reservations working with Labour whilst their government arms a genocide.
If Labour chooses to destabilise local councils because they want to play party politics - then they can own the consequences for the city. 👏🏼

Hey @raycast If you're going to support Windows then why aren't you supporting Intel macs for version 2?
My Macbook is only eight years old and I don't see why I should be shut out of an app I've championed for years.

“Have some empathy for your fellow human beings.”
Pink Floyd’s @rogerwaters calls Metallica frontman James Hetfield a “complete prick” as resurfaced quotes show he wasn’t so apolitical when he approved of his music being used to torture Iraqis.

You can buy books from Ian Brady, Charles Bronson, and the Kray twins in the UK, but you can't buy books from Sally Rooney because she opposes Israel's genocide.
She should've done something respectable like serial killing and her books would be fine.

The dangerous & irresponsible blurring of challenging Israel & Antisemitism is deeply revealing.
A Labour Government who apologised over their actions over Gaza is demonstrating that it was all performative. Andy Burnham still stands with Israel whilst it kills innocent people.

I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism".

Yesterday, Patriot Platform turned up in Darnall, Sheffield.
Just over 24 hours later, there are 300 people at an emergency SUTR Sheffield meeting to organise a response.
When we talk about developing local organisation to take on the fascists, we mean it.

Sheffield does not welcome masked boys dressed up as Blackshirts. We will not be intimidated by your pathetic thuggery. We will not allow racism to be normalised or people to be made to feel they don’t belong in their own communities.
I completely back Zahira’s demand for answers from South Yorkshire Police. How did this happen without warning? Why should people feel unsafe walking their own streets?
Sheffield was the UK’s first City of Sanctuary. We have a proud tradition of welcoming people fleeing persecution and war, and offering them community, peace and security.
I stand with Zahira, Fran and our communities. We will not be divided, and we will not let the far right define our city
