You can see her cover her ears and start running as soon as she hears the sound of an incoming Israeli strike. Palestinian children have become so used to bombs falling from the sky because the world has normalized their slaughter.

What do you think these people are thinking right now?

Israel blew a hole in this little girl’s abdomen so it can steal the tiny piece of land she inhabits. Zionism is a cancer on humanity.

What are we doing? 💔

I’ve lived to see the day in America where burning the US flag is fine, but l burning the Israeli flag is off limit If that is not Israel first, wut is?

Today marks the 56th anniversary of the legendary Woodstock 1969 festival. Here are some of the best performances that took place that day. A thread 🧵 1. Santana performing "Soul Sacrifice"

Those who engineered Gaza’s suffering — the bombers, enablers, cowards and profiteers — deserve back every drop of pain they caused. Full measure. No mercy.

"The biggest crime is your silence" From Gaza, Palestine

Younger Americans have no hope “My experience since graduating college has been an absolute slap in the face, and I did everything right— I will never afford a house. I will never afford kids in this country. Like what are we doing” This has to change, and nobody in power cares

I will never apologize for wanting to see the United States seek peace and have a friendly relationship with Russia and China

.@wrkrsstrikeback and I stand in solidarity with music groups @KNEECAPCEOL and @BobbyVylan, organizations like Palestine Action, and all activists internationally facing draconian retaliation for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza. Both Kneecap and Bob Vylan used their Glastonbury stage — which had the attention of a record-breaking 23 million people internationally — to condemn the genocide and make a historic call for international solidarity with the Palestinian people. Both consciously undertook major risks to their careers, which is more than most labor movement leaders or self-described “progressive” Democratic politicians have done in the United States. Palestine Action is a nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action organization whose activists have similarly carried out courageous actions. It is utterly scandalous, and a betrayal of the fighting, working-class history of the British Labour Party, that Prime Minister Kier Starmer and his party have launched a criminal investigation on both Bob Vylan and Kneecap and charged Kneecap’s Mo Chara with supporting terrorism. Britain needs a new party for working people, as do we here in the United States. Recently, 385 Members of Parliament in the British House of Commons voted to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Only 26 MPs voted against this motion, of whom only nine are Labor Party MPs. If this becomes law, membership in or expressing support for Palestine Action will become a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. In the U.S., the Trump regime has aggressively revoked Bob Vylan’s American travel visa. Both the Starmer government in Britain and the Trump administration the U.S. represent the interests of the billionaire class that is profiting from the genocide in Gaza and the brutal occupation. Both of these governments, along with the Democratic Party, have blood on their hands and are fully complicit. We need mass strike action and civil disobedience by the international working class to bring this genocide and the war machine to a grinding halt. Since 2008, the U.K. has sent weapons to the Israeli state worth at least $740 million. The funding has escalated specifically since the genocide began. Under Starmer, the British state approved $170 million in military equipment to Israel from October to December 2024 alone. The U.S. capitalist state, represented by Trump, the Republicans, and Democrats like my opponent, genocidal Congressman Adam Smith, have together sent hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel in the last decades, ramped up even more for this genocide, which began under Democratic President Biden. My campaign for the U.S. Congress against Adam Smith is calling for an end to all U.S. military funding to Israel. In just the past two months, more than a thousand people have been killed and 5,000 injured in Gaza when they went to get food for their starving families and children. As some Israeli soldiers have themselves revealed, “it’s a killing field.” Some have said that the Israeli state is ordering them “to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid.” This comes after over 400,000 people have been butchered since October 2023, according to estimates from the Medical Journal The Lancet. The genocide in Gaza is the holocaust of the 21st century, and we urgently need mass protests, mass strikes, and mass civil disobedience to end it. No politician or political party who has supported it deserves one more working-class vote. We need to bring them down.

What a banger. x.com/QueenAnticommie/status…

In just the first month of Kshama’s independent, anti-genocide, pro-worker campaign for Congress, her campaign has received more than 1,100 donors from ALL 50 states DC Puerto Rico. That’s more donors than warmongering Democrat Adam Smith got in his entire 2024 campaign. This is a working-class campaign. The median donation is $25. Join Kshama and Workers Strike Back to help build the working-class army we need to win. DONATE NOW!:kshamasawant.org/ Kshama Sawant is running for the U.S. Congress against warmongering corporate Democrat Adam Smith, who has funded the Gaza genocide to the hilt and who also voted to create ICE. Her antiwar campaign is calling for an end to the genocide, to all U.S. military funding for the Israeli state, and to the brutal occupation of Palestinian lands. Workers Strike Back is also campaigning to stop all deportations and shut down the detention centers. ICE OUT! The only strategy to end the genocide and stop the deportations and arrests is to build powerful mass movements, carry out mass strike action and civil disobedience, and also crucially to EXPOSE the role of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Both are purveyors of war and have the blood of over 400,000 Palestinians on their hands. The genocide started under the Biden-Harris administration. Both Democrats — like Adam Smith — and Republicans have sent, and are still sending, tens of billions of dollars to the Israeli military. Both parties are bankrolled by war profiteers and Wall Street, including billionaires and multimillionaires who own tech corporations like Microsoft, Apple, Google, IBM, and Amazon. The Democratic Party is the graveyard of working-class movements. It is the Democratic Party’s systematic betrayals of working people, and the labor leadership’s refusal to break from the Democrats or even put real pressure on them, that has created the space for right-wing populism and enabled Trump to win two elections. They have been the best builders of Trumpism and right-wing populism. Over and over, experiments to push the Democratic Party leftward have spectacularly failed. AOC and especially Bernie Sanders brought up demands like a $15/hour minimum wage, Medicare for All, and a Green New Deal. They not only refused to build the working-class movements needed to win these things, they have thoroughly capitulated to the party’s pro-billionaire agenda and given cover for it to fund a genocide. We need the fighting strategy that working people, revolutionary socialists, and Kshama Sawant used relentlessly during her decade as a revolutionary socialist on the Seattle City Council. Her office was the principal organizing hub of Seattle’s working class, and won historic victories like the Amazon Tax and the nation’s highest major-city minimum wage. DONATE NOW to build the fight to end the genocide in Gaza & all military aid to Israel, stop the deportations, for free healthcare by taxing the rich & for rent control.

🇮🇷 In a striking act of cultural defiance, Iranian musicians Homayoun Shajarian and Farshad Sheikh performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 inside the ruins of the IRIB state TV and radio building in Tehran — destroyed in a recent Israeli strike. The performance took place amid the wreckage, with Shajarian’s vocals echoing through what was once a symbol of Iranian broadcasting power.
