Just found my new pinned tweet! I agree 💯% with everything in Prof Juju's thread, she puts it perfectly imho.
Time to pick a side: collapse or transformation.

BREAKING: People Against Genocide continue to block the road to DSV's distribution centre, to prevent the transport of weapons which are made by Israel's biggest arms producer.
The group also splattered red paint in the road, symbolising Palestinian bloodshed.

Today’s budget looks like being worse for our future and the young than even anything Starmer came up with.
A budget based on approval of mass new oil drilling is a betrayal of our future.
EXCL: The giant Rosebank oilfield can be approved without breaching the UK’s emission targets, according to government insiders, in a boost to those in the cabinet who are pushing for it to be given the go-ahead.
Sources also say the Treasury has already accounted for billions of pounds’ worth of tax revenue from Rosebank and so would be faced with a shortfall should it be rejected.

Exploitation doesn’t become acceptable simply because it’s done in the name of saving the planet.
Who benefits from the green transition, and who gets left paying for it?

“It is not shameful that the Green Party adopted a motion equating Zionism with racism at its annual party conference at the weekend.
What’s shameful is that no mainstream British political party did so earlier.”

Lawmakers should reject France’s “Rioters Pay” bill. This bill would have a significant chilling effect on freedom of peaceful assembly and risks plunging already marginalised families further into poverty, fuelling the scapegoating of refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and minorities. The bill, which was announced this summer and entered senate for debate today, has been accelerated amid ongoing protests in the country. Holding demonstrators responsible for property damage that they did not commit contravenes international human rights law and standards. Passing this bill would be a regressive step for France.

A bus fitted with oxygen tanks is helping people breathe in the haze of ongoing forest fires on the Indonesian island of Borneo.
Respiratory illnesses linked to the fires have increased and air pollution levels in many areas are categorised as hazardous.
Indonesia’s seasonal forest fires, mainly in Borneo and Sumatra, are the most intense in more than a decade this year.
The super El Niño has driven up temperatures, leaving the country vulnerable to fires that have turned skies orange across Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

It feels so fucking good to see Brazil beat back US imperialism and tech oligarchy after the staggering crimes these parasites have committed against humanity and the planet. And students are winning in Serbia and France! The tide is turning :)

Everything you need to set up a Labour Budget.
Terms and conditions apply. Real action on the cost-of-living crisis sold separately.
ALT Satirical "budget starter pack" from the Green Party contrasting austerity choices with labeled images: a red "fiscal rules" briefcase, jar of discount gherkins, luxury yacht with "dw about a wealth tax!", person wrapped in a blanket, empty wallet labeled "difficult choices (for you)", and
