I don't think they will be able to stop us. We are hundreds of activists. We believe we will reach Gaza this time." As the Moroccan activists prepare to sail to Gaza, they remain confident that nothing would stop them, not even Ben-Gvir's 'terrorist prisons' plan ⬇️
Weekends. The 40-hour work week. Sick days. That didn't just happen. Organized labor did that. And today, we celebrate how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go to build an economy – and a country – that works for working people.

Ibrahim al Khalili reports on the first day of the new school year for a very small number of children in Gaza. Most children no longer get an education because Israel has destroyed all the schools, murdered the teachers, and is starving the kids to death.
"People in this country are exhausted, they are tired. They are sick of working long hours & never feeling secure. They see water companies pumping sewage into our waters & charging us extra for the privilege..." Part of @zackpolanski.bsky.social 's speech after becoming Green Party leader
What does "tough on crime" actually mean? To some people, it means "Reducing the murder rate, reducing the robbery rate, and making the streets safer."♥️👍🏿 To other people, it means "Intimidating, harassing, and shooting more innocent Black people." Which ironically, makes the murder rate go up. 🙃🙂

One problem with being on Twitter is that Elon Musk constantly rejigs the site to push his views. He cannot be sidelined when he owns the underlying system. His manipulation of the Twitter AI to match his views illustrates this point. Via @kateconger.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...

The International Association of Genocide Scholars have passed a resolution describing what Israel is doing in Gaza as genocide Professor Timothy Williams from the organisation explains the reasoning behind the decision.

Wasn't St George from Palestine? Palestine Action should declare that their new logo is the St George's Cross, then anyone displaying the flag would have to be arrested. 🏴 🏴 🏴
Israeli protesters locked themselves inside the lobby of the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, to protest the genocide in Gaza These people have courage and determination, salute to them 🫡

WE NEED MORE POLITICANS LIKE THIS US Senators Chris Van Hollen and Jeff Merkley were DENIED ENTRY into Gaza and condemned the famine
Huge congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social elected as the next Leader of @greenparty.org.uk 👏👏 Greens are on the up. We have already achieved so much, but there is more to be done offering a true alternative to this dire version of Labour. Let’s get to it! 💚
En España, el 1 % más rico contamina tanto como 12 millones de personas. A la vez, el 95 % de las muertes por calor son mayores de 65 años. Sucede lo mismo con todas las emergencias ligadas a la crisis climática: quienes más pagan las consecuencias son trabajadores, barrios y personas vulnerables.

The more leftwing candidate won the Green Party leadership by a landslide while the not-yet-named leftwing 'Your Party' has more ppl registering interest than there are Labour and Tory members And yet all we hear about is about the 'rise' of that other party as hate is more media-friendly

The Guardian even does Polanski the favour of providing a quote from him on NATO in May, in which he articulates a position that closely aligns with what European leaders like Germany's Merz were saying earlier this year and is, in my opinion, must more realistic than Labour's dead-end Atlanticism.
Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on becoming the new leader of @greenparty.org.uk. Thanks for the Green Party’s ongoing support for electoral advertising regulation also.
Responding to this thread by making fun of me for being Jewish or suggesting that I don’t care about people from other religious identities isn’t pro-Palestine or a smart gotcha it’s just antisemitism aimed at someone who is very on record about, for example, the major problem of Islamophobia

The Labour Government has "temporarily" suspended all new family reunion applications for some of the most vulnerable people in the UK. There's nothing left but a race to the bottom with Keir Starmer. Just pure cruelty
(Homer Simpson whisper) HE MEANS WHITE PEOPLE
Like it’s easy to say we need to fix the schools but that doesn’t address the needs of a whole generation that was educated in this system Adult literacy is an important issue and we should be thinking of resources for adults!
Regarding reading comprehension: we never hear from Gen Z folks who are the first full generation to be educated under no child left behind what they think we should do about people coming out of HS with weak reading comprehension How does Gen Z see the problem? What solutions do they want?
If the government doesn't want the police to enforce certain laws, it has a great mechanism to make that happen: it can repeal them. Having laws on the books that police are supposed to selectively enforce depending on political judgment is very much *not* the way through this stuff.

Why is he not thanking us for our attention though?
So the troops can stop doing litter pickup outside the WH and can go home now, right?
At the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Rashida Tlaib told activists they are “winning” against US support for Israel. She said Washington is “scared” of grassroots pressure and vowed: “We ain’t going anywhere.” #RashidaTlaib
The failure of the government and many Labour MPs to leave X after the 2024 riots suggests they just don't get the challenge they face or the power they have to fight back. Completely weak and callow.
The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering
This is exactly the sort of information about Reform that should be out there and picked up by the national media. A catalogue of ineptitude, incompetence and criminality.
Every day should be Labor Day. Talk to your coworkers about conditions in the workplace and in the country. Stop accepting scraps and don’t move through the world with resignation. We can have a better future and no one is going to save us but ourselves.

New @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social says "people are exhausted of never feeling secure" and this is exploited "by charlatans like Nigel Farage". And he warns Labour: "We're not here to be disappointed by you. We're not here to be concerned by you. We're here to replace you." ~AA

But what would they know? Leading genocide scholars organization says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza flip.it/0GShHK
I'm glad that @zackpolanski.bsky.social has become leader of the Green Party. I believe his style and emphasis meet the challenge of the moment.
Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, according to a resolution passed by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) on Monday, which found that Israel’s actions meet the legal definition of genocide under the UN Genocide Convention of 1948.
Who was the idiot asking the question and where were they from?

Tadhg Hickey and Kieran Andrieu from @novaramedia.com are both on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which has sailed from Barcelona to break Israels siege of Gaza. Here they talk about why they are taking part.

They know they’re breaking the law. They also know the courts will be slow to call them out on it. Meanwhile they get to do their damage and get the military used to domestic incursions. This ruling should halt any plans they have to invade Chicago. It won’t.
This is how dictatorships behave
Newly elected Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, would he ever work with Keir Starmer?
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Telling it like it is, and cutting through.
Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory. Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope! Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.
By juggling demand for speaking to national audiences with nurturing individuals & local parties, @zackpolanski.bsky.social can play to his many strengths & bring to life that vital yet often intangible political ingredient about which he spoke so meaningfully - hope. Me for @indyvoices.bsky.social
You're being disingenuous. He was asked by the S*n if he would try hypnotherapy on a woman to see if it would work. The S*n being what it is, published the rubbish it wanted. Zack has said he didn't believe it would work and that it didn't even though the article claimed it did.
There is info online, go on inform yourself a little better. He never practiced or promoted it. Or listen to Zack talk about it on the second part of his interview with Mark Steel: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
Not just newly elected... newly elected with nearly 85% of the vote. There's hope for this country yet.
Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

At the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, there will soon be no one left to keep you informed. In nearly 23 months, at least 210 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in this territory, according to Reporters Without Borders. The New Arab joins more than..(1/2)

Israel sigue asesinando de forma sistemática a los periodistas de Gaza. El odio de Tel Aviv contra el periodismo no difiere del que sufrimos en Siria a manos del Estado Islámico y el régimen de Assad.
The Global Sumud Flotilla left Barcelona yesterday to break Israels siege of Gaza. Over 50 ships from 44 countries are taking part.
The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
If you are looking for politics and parties with a conscience and integrity you need to look to the left, at the Green Party & independents like Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana.
Why are European states not meeting their obligations under international law? @yarahawari.bsky.social : "I think the very obvious answer to that is because of their complicity in the genocide"

Israel has declared Greta Thunberg a terrorist and plans to detain her indefinately in one of their torture camps if she dares to come near Israel in her Freedom Flotilla. Do you stand with Greta Thunberg against the monsterous Israel?
@andrea4gs.bsky.social is spot on - outsourcing leads to worse pay/conditions for workers & poorer services. When he was running to be Lab leader Starmer said he'd end outsourcing in the NHS so why isnt he doing it? He should be held to that commitment & UNISON should be leading the fight
