Yikes! the UK is banning books now because author, Sally Rooney, supports Palestine Action. It's turning into the 51st state of MAGA. What's next? An ECHR exit and an english version of ICE, staffed by patriot platform thugs?

This and variations on this theme are the main way nationalist anti migrant arguments need to be addressed. The media's inability to properly articulate a similar critique of the far right is one of the main reasons they've gained so much ground in recent years.

NAZA is the official term used for the number of innocent Gazan's who will be killed in a military strike. It's also the name of a new documentary out this weekend across Europe (on the left). The Israeli gov sponsored a copycat (on the right) to counter it. Be alert folks. 1/2

This is disastrous for Le Penn and r/w types elsewhere. There is a Generation Greta in Europe who know, from experience nagging parents on climate crisis, they can change things and are at the voting age now. Many dismissed Greta a few years ago but she was right then and she's right now.

Currently marvelling at the english media coverage of "russian interference"! Swiss journalists raised eyebrows when englands trump gave russian oligarchs 30-days notice to "unwind their assets" and then called them "sanctions". 😂🤣 Abramovic was even able to sell Chelsea football club!!!

Swiss newspaper article about boris johnson and his friendship with Lebedev, whose father is so close to putin, he's personally sanctioned by Ukraine.

this from 2017 is behind a paywall but a quick summary: Russia used 150,000 Twitter accounts for Brexit. 45,000 tweets encouraging people to vote Leave a few days before the 2016 vote. These accounts had previously focused on Russia's annexation of Crimea, before focusing on Brexit

For those not following events in NI over the last few weeks, something seismic is happening, much sooner than expected. A huge group of people from a protestant/unionist background came out in support of nationalists under siege by the Orange Order. The UK re-joining the EU won't stop this now.

Irish Unification is closer than many think. For those who caught the kerfuffle over Drumcree, there was an extraordinary moment this week when people of a protestant & unionist background came out in support for the Garvaghy Road residents. People there are already united.

Quote from an open letter signed by people from a protestant / unionist background in northern Ireland in support of the residents of the Garvaghy Road under siege by the Orange Order: "We want our children and grandchildren to inherit a future free from
the anguish of the past, and we are anxious that some now seem willing to reopen old wounds"

quick thread on how unionist parties got it so wrong over Drumcree and the political fallout from here. TL;DR: Drumcree was just 1 parade but it represents so much more in NI and the political fallout will be seismic for Unionist Parties with many voters turning away. 🧵
