Historic Monday: Brazil defeats Bolsonaro and Serbia's students bring down Vučić. A powerful reminder that the authoritarian right is NOT invincible. When people organise, resist & refuse to surrender their future, even the most entrenched powers can fall.

Did someone say T-E-C-H-N-O-F-E-U-D-A-L-I-S-M?  Meta can take a major protest account offline during a nationwide day of action and then call it a technical error. That’s the point.

Did you know - you can use @mu.social with your existing Bluesky account, no need to move to Eurosky. All your posts, feeds and accounts will be there. But you’ll be able to edit your posts and have a companion cat, or dog (or fox).

Googlebook stock has arrived online at EE In the UK, as we expected they have the Acer, ASUS, HP + Lenovo (still no XPS in the UK). The usual oddities in the initial listings, but good to see stock available to order online, especially for the Acer as Currys are out of stock.

Is the XPS Googlebook from Dell missing in this shot telling us something more about its likely availability in the UK? buymeacoffee.com/mergedroid/i...

For decades, the demand to dismantle apartheid and colonial domination in Palestine was pushed to the political margins. Now, as the Green Party of England and Wales backs one democratic Palestinian state with equal rights for all, that taboo is beginning to break.

Greetings from Occupied Athens. As Marco Rubio is visiting, we are in lockdown. The boss of our rulers demanded that Athenians are under lock and key so that he feels safe as he inspects his troops. One day we shall be free again. But not today. www.ekathimerini.com/politics/for...

Spain has one of the smallest social housing stocks in the EU- just 1.7%. From #Madrid to #Berlin, #Lisbon to #Paris, Europe’s housing crisis has the same root: homes treated as assets for vulture funds to cash in on, rather than a right for the people who live in them. 🧵

In the first episode of Radical Thinking, a new series from the Guardian, I discuss with Aditya Chakrabortty how powerbrokers co-opt elected officials, rendering our democracies demos-free zones. Also my assessment of Andy Burnham's plans to 'rewire' the UK economy www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ72...

The #EU loves to lecture the world about “freedom of speech”. Meanwhile, in Greece, Tommy Olsen is being prosecuted for having documented pushbacks and human-rights abuses committed against #refugees at the Aegean. Maybe it's time we looked in our own backyards.

The eviction of #Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman who had lived in her #Madrid home for more than 70 years, is a brutal example of the housing crisis facing #Spain and much of Europe. What kind of Europe are we building - and for whom?

The AI Productivity Delusion: As with previous tech revolutions, it is natural to focus on AI's net effects: Will it create more than it destroys? But unlike previous eras of creative destruction, the real question this time is, “Create more of what?” www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/a...

Israel has killed 22,000 students and destroyed 98% of schools in Gaza in the last 3 years of the genocide (UNICEF). #Germany & the #US are co-perpetrators for having supplied 99% of the weapons.

Wonder how lively activity is on #WSocial compared to #Eurosky? Thanks to @pds.ls you can plug into the live firehose for the two networks. After 32 minutes of observation this morning, @wsocial.eu had 330 events whereas @eurosky.social had 16 THOUSAND. The beauty of open data 💫 #WSocialFacts

Only an Uncompromised Left Can Defeat the Fascists. The ‘Radical Centre’ has lost control of the crisis it helped inflame and, so, the far right is on the march across Europe. The only anti-fascist economics that can stop it is an unambiguously socialist economics. zeteo.uk/p/when-the-l...

7 of 9 planetary boundaries are now breached and pressure is still rising. How many more warning signs do politicians need before they act to protect our shared survival? We can’t give up on our planet. It’s time to organise.

Wildfires, floods, a continent-wide housing crisis- and Brussels is celebrating record defence spending and “bigger orders for our industry”. These are Europe’s priorities, in VdL’s own words. #soteu #vonderleyen

"This is a film about a system. It focuses on orders, policies, and patterns of operation, not deviations from them. The mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza was not a “tragic byproduct” of a war against Hamas, but a premeditated, calculated, intentional act." www.972mag.com/naza-exposin...
