I am now safe after being detained and interrogated by Israeli forces and denied entry to Palestine alongside other activists and elected representatives. I will share a fuller statement tomorrow. The @scottishgreens.org stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

The battle to humanize Israelis will fail, because most of the population IS complicit. Mandatory conscription, so a huge proportion of the country are documented participants in the massacre. Then, the election platforms show Israeli voters have a voracious appetite for murdering muslims.

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

The US government has poured millions into the Ukrainian protest movement, and they want their money’s worth – even if it means spilling oceans of blood. The reality is that their interests and those of the Ukrainian people are diametrically opposed:

About 2 million kids have lost SNAP since deep cuts were enacted last year. The ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, their schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility.

Jessica Valenti reports that US abortion bans are taking women and girls’ lives across a continuum of violence: by the denial of emergency medical care which often results in death or injury, and by making them far more vulnerable to domestic violence, sometimes fatally.

This is the side issue. The real issue is the fact that the United States relies on Israel for its domination of the world. Eliminating the US's domination of the world will solve the problem; declaring AIPAC a "foreign agent" will not, and amounts to nothing more than a stunt.
