At first I thought it was perhaps a typo. Then I did some digging.

Black and white photo of Ho Chi Minh, a smiling, bearded Vietnamese man in a simple shirt. To the left of his photo is a Hammer & Sickle logo in the Vietnamese style, and to the right is the Hammer & Pick logo of the Welsh Underground Network. Text reads: "Remember that the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and stability." Below this text reads: "Attributed - unknown date" Below photo text reads: "Marxist Monday: Hô Chí Minh, Vietnamese Revolutionary, 1890-1969"

Marxist Monday: Hô Chí Minh, Vietnamese Revolutionary 1890-1969

"Remember that the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and stability."

bluesky is discord if you just reply embarrassingly fast

I don't wanna be the annoying vegan here but it is objectively fucking WEIRD how much children's media is about the sweet fluffy farm animals that you are also feeding them.

my simple stance is that if you're white and your only statements on gaza are scamjacketing palestinians, and meanwhile you'll happily talk about ur support for ukraine or boosting white ppl in need...

ur racist. ur just plainly racist. even if you dont want to admit it, you're just a fuckin racist

if your point is that Democrats only have gestures to offer people you've made that point expertly.

"I believed in it; I still do," she said, but added that pushing for self-ID was "not top of the list" of Stonewall's priorities. "We are an LGBT organisation, of course we're going to be there for trans people, so that's integral to who we are and what we do. But our priorities now are very much focused on things like securing justice for military veterans and compensation for what they've endured. We're currently working very hard to ensure that there's a ban on conversion therapy in this country, which is incredibly important."

lol

imogen: saw "military veterans" and my mouth dropped open lol. trans people aren't the priority but THE TROOPS are apparently

I, for one, am shocked that nobody told Starmer that Mandelson was a venal bastard. who could have known? How could anybody have known?

imogen: heartwarming, the worst people you know are fighting

trans women love being named after Months

lmao this is sordid as fuck

gwen: in almost every given year post civil war, excluding WW2, the Soviet Union was a better place to live than America for most people. and at least very worst years the scarcity people experienced wasn't artificial like the scarcity in America was.

gwen: its usually not the individual tactic's fault that it is misused haha. its the fault of the way the tactic is used and the strategy its deployed in.

the problem is lack of strategic analysis. people have got to get used to considering how power actually works!

A vertical screen print style poster in red, yellow and black, featuring the quote by Dom Helder Camara: "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." The edges of the poster show a packed village with small houses, and a road leading to skyscrapers in the far background. A red sun in the upper right shines its long yellow rays across the image.

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”

Originally made as a screen print in 1990, we now offer this thought-provoking poster digitally printed on heavy cover stock.

gwen: as part of an org that sometimes uses petitions (which do help gather email addresses) do I feel I have to rush to their defence 😅

ACORN has a good innovation where everyone who signs automatically sends an email to the petition target, which can be quite good at actually putting on pressure!

gwen: the thing is that petitions & marches etc *can* be useful if deployed correctly but they've basically become expressions of impotence.

ppl sign a petition nobody in power will read or attend a march nobody in power will care abt and they think job done, now democracy will happen.

Wanted to show you this post in English because it’s so good and we truly are a global village

Dr. King for white people is their citation for why Black people should turn the other cheek instead of slapping the shit out of them when they're racist & why we need to still act like they're better than us, he said all races are equal. It has zero to do with what he was about, Black liberation.

YEAP

imogen: going up to my local left protest scene and yelling DO SOMETHING

organising an A-to-B march in Lomdon does not count as doing something

IDF's newly declared "Forward Defense Zone" in south Lebanon.
Its maritime boundary fully absorbs Lebanon's Qana gas field, whose exploration rights were explicitly guaranteed under the 2022 US-brokered maritime border agreement

Lenin was right about The Economist.

true crime brain has fucked people up so bad and they get really mad when you point that out. and also that the entire true crime industry is predatory and exploitative

Aerial view of large scale devastation inflicted on the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil, with an Israeli tank parked in the center of the photo.

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

holly: gorggg

imogen: me at all times, under all circumstances
