Domingo guevariano, en el 98 cumpleaños del eterno guerrillero, el Che de los desposeídos e inconformes, el crítico profundo que nos legó su ejemplo de hombre nuevo y una advertencia para todos los tiempos: "en el imperialismo no se puede confiar ni tantico así, nada". #CheVive

Its hard to undersell just how large the demonstration in Belfast was today. It was one of the largest demonstrations i've ever seen in the city.

This is Belfast today. The far right tried to terrorise our city. The city answered. ✊ #BelfastAgainstRacism #StopTheFarRight #Nottoracism

It is a good symbolic step for Ireland to ban two of the most fanatic ministers in Israel's genocidal government. When will the Irish government, however, comply with the ICJ rulings and end its shameful complicity in Israel's genocide, apartheid and military occupation against the Palestinian people? This is not just an ethical and legal obligation, it is what the absolute majority of the people of Ireland demand.

FAI cowards. Play it at home or don’t play at all, this is a cop out

The Irish Times naturally doesn't reveal O'Sullivan's affiliation in her anti-neutrality piece today. She's the director of a defence thinktank, Security Ireland. Amongst other things, it advises investors on 'opportunities' to be had in the EU's €800bn arms industry bonanza.

36% of Unite members in GB polling for Reform. This isn't a failure of individual workers, it's in part a failure of political education in the movement. We stopped teaching class politics and this is the consequence.

SOCIALISM, FREEDOM AND NON-ALIGNEMENT May 29 marks the birthday of Maurice Rupert Bishop, the leader of Grenada’s New Jewel Movement and the face of a revolution that attempted to redefine what liberation actually means. Speaking at the height of Grenada’s transformation, Bishop laid out a vision rooted not in slogans, but in material change: electricity for communities receiving it for the first time, clean running water, free healthcare, free education, and jobs for people long denied them under colonial structures. Following the 1979 revolution led by the New Jewel Movement, Grenada experienced rapid social progress. Illiteracy dropped dramatically, unemployment fell from nearly half the population to around 14%, and basic human dignity began reaching ordinary people who had been excluded for generations. For many across the Caribbean and the wider Global South, Bishop came to symbolise the possibility of a small nation charting an independent path based on social development, sovereignty and popular participation. That vision made Grenada a target. In October 1983, Bishop was arrested, then executed by firing squad at just 39 years old. Days later, the United States invaded Grenada, framing it as an "intervention". But for many, it marked the violent end of a sovereign experiment in socialist development. Decades on, the pattern remains. From Cuba to Venezuela to Iran, attempts to chart independent political and economic paths continue to face sanctions, destabilisation, and regime change wars. Bishop’s revolution was cut short, but the questions he raised still echo: What does freedom really look like? And who gets to define it?

The American education system does not teach empire. This is not an accident. It teaches the Revolution. It teaches the Constitution. It teaches the Civil War in a way that frames it primarily as a story of "national healing" rather than unfinished reckoning. It teaches World War II as the definitive American story: the sleeping giant awakened, the "arsenal of democracy," the liberation of Europe, the moral clarity of that specific conflict deployed as a permanent filter through which all subsequent American violence can be viewed as basically continuous with defeating Hitler. It does not teach the Philippines, where the U.S. military killed somewhere between 200,000 and 1,000,000 people between 1899 and 1913 during the Philippine-American War, a war most Americans have never heard of. It does not teach the Banana Wars, where the U.S. military intervened repeatedly in Central America and the Caribbean to protect the commercial interests of American corporations. It does not teach the full history of Iran: the 1953 coup that removed a democratically elected prime minister and installed a Shah who ran a torture state, because the elected prime minister wanted to nationalize Iranian oil. It does not honestly teach Korea, 1945-53. Guatemala, 1954. Vietnam, 1954-75. Lebanon, 1958 and 1982-84. The Congo, 1960-65. Cuba, 1961. Brazil, 1964. Dominican Republic, 1965. Haiti, across the 20th century. Indonesia, 1965. Greece, 1947-49 and 1967-74. Laos, 1964-73. Cambodia, 1969-75. Chile, 1973. Angola, 1975-1991. Argentina, 1976-1983. Nicaragua, the 1980s. El Salvador, the 1980s. Grenada, 1983. Panama, 1989. Afghanistan, 1979-92 and 2001–21. Iraq, 1991-2003 and 2003-11. Somalia, 1992-95. Sudan, 1998. Yugoslavia, 1999. Yemen, 2002-25. Venezuela, 2002 and 2014-present. Honduras, 2009. Libya, 2011. Syria, 2012-26. Ukraine, 2014-present. It does not teach these things honestly because a population that understood them would have a very different relationship to the word "freedom" when its government uses it to justify intervention. The ignorance is load-bearing. Remove it, and the entire moral architecture of American exceptionalism becomes uninhabitable. They know this. The curriculum is not an oversight. The curriculum is a choice, made deliberately, renewed continuously, defended furiously whenever teachers try to expand it. The most powerful weapon American empire has ever deployed is not the aircraft carrier. It is the history class.

If you want to understand why Cuba is under US siege, and has been for 60 years, and what the Cuban revolution means for all of us, read this beautiful essay by @AlejoPedregal.

Unbelievable piece on 'Today With David McCullagh' on @RTERadio1 regarding the 'Stop The Game' campaign. Interviews with Evanne Ni Chuillin, Ken O'Flynn, and Alan Shatter. Not one voice in favour of protests which have galvanised Irish soccer fans re the horror in #Gaza

On this day in 1798 at moonrise, Presbyterian and Catholic militia men in Belfast and its hinterlands left their homes. They commandeered and burned post coaches which were carrying tax documents and military orders. Ireland's first republican revolution has begun.

Two cheeks of the same arse, surely now nobody can say anything different

FIDEL CASTRO: "For 15 years we were there fighting apartheid, fighting racism till the very end. They said that we had to be imposed a blockade... because we were fighting the South African racists. South Africa was not prevented from purchasing food and medicines. And the country that was heroically fighting against the racists was not sold one medicine, one aspirin, one cytostatic for a cancer patient. That was the punishment." "There was a moment when the war was practically lost. And then we, the Cubans, we had to solve the problem. It was when the Cuito Cuanavale battle took place. You know how many troops Cuba sent to Angola at that moment? 55,000 troops. And all of them on a voluntary basis." "But at the United Nations, they don't speak about that. They applauded the independence of the African countries... the end of apartheid, as if it was the work and miracle of the United Nations. There was no mention about a single Cuban of the many Cubans who died there. The name of Cuba was not even mentioned. So look how sometimes people intend to write history forgetting reality."
