The balance of coverage, save a few outlets, of the illegal bombing of Venezuela and kidnapping of its president has been so bad that saying this is almost a defiant act. Read many news outlets you will see the words captured with few mentions anymore of the indiscriminate bombing of innocents.

Without a background in international law, on the surface what Trump and the US government have done in Venezuela is an even more blatant violation of international law than what Russia committed in Ukraine. Happy to be corrected. If so, should isolation and sanctions be appropriate?

Paul Mason @paumas.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Venezuelans have suffered enough at the hands of a corrupt government and Western Imperialism. Now we have open warfare, civilian deaths and illegal regime change. Keir Starmer and this Labour government will be complicit if we do not force them to act against US actions.

Paul Mason @paumas.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Tyranny will never bring democracy to Venezuela. The US installed Pinochet in Chile and Videla in Argentina and many others in Latin America, bloody dictators. Trump can try illegally install his neo-liberalist puppet through bloodshed but it will only cause more pain and suffering.

It’s refreshing having the UKs two biggest unions led by strong willed women who can stand up to feeble men like Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting. Battle lines are being drawn and we need to all unionise and fight a rampaging right after the Tories followed Labour and next could be Reform.

Australia Social Media Ban 🧵 The teenage social media ban in Australia might be one of the dummest policies I've seen all year. It took me literally 2 mins of scrolling on reels to find an Australian influencer telling her underage followers to move to a Discord server. (1/6)

It’s very refreshing for someone to be out there talking about what we all know and believe needs done. Our economy needs dramatic change and not adaptation or tinkering. Nationalisation will take back control from a small cabal of wealthy people and into all our hands for greater public good.

I am here for the artistic polemic about why someone stuck a pigeon on top of the Wellington. Nice try. For what it is worth, the next move needs to be a bigger cone to cover the pigeon. Ensuring a traffic cone wholly sits a top the head of this statue is the primary civic endeavour of the city.

Want to influence and affect decisions that impact you in Glasgow? Come to our Councillors' Assembly next Wednesday, November 26, to help decide what Glasgow's socialist councillors vote on in the City Chambers. Book now: ticketpass.org/event/EXAQWV...

It will soon be a month since Your Party got its first councillors in Glasgow. In October, Seonad Hoy, Dan Hutchison and Leodhas Massie defected from the Scottish Greens, giving us three councillors on Glasgow City Council.

It’s been a busy month for the trio: appearing at their first Full Council; winning new seats at the table for trade unions at the council; forming a Councillor Liaison Group (CLG) with the branch to work going forward; even challenging the SFA on Scotland hosting Israeli footballers.

Now, they are hosting their first Councillors’ Assembly with Your Party Glasgow members and supporters, and we want you to join us.

At this event we will discuss potential motions to Glasgow City Council that our three councillors could take forward, and the decision on which one of these is submitted will be put in your hands.

This will also be a chance for you to meet Glasgow’s biggest ever group of socialist councillors in person, discuss how we can work together as a branch and councillor group, and how we work best for everyone in Glasgow.

The answer is yes, you total coward. We will allow most likely traumatised people to come here and then we will force them to feel the trauma of being uprooted from their new home. There is no real reason to do this other than cowardice to challenge people’s misconceptions and in some cases racism.

Governing on slogans or vibes. Really good piece this. Our justice system still does not reduce re-offending. Shoplifting isn’t a threat to our safety. It’s a symptom of a broken societal contract. Prisons are expensive, we shouldn’t build more but modernise and humanise our existing ones.

I think this is an interesting point, and fundamentally it doesn’t increase the housing stock overall. The housing crisis is a restricted supply problem created by successive governments failure to build homes at the rate it did pre-1980s.

The biggest failure of every UK government, including in Scotland, has been the complete failure to redress the crime of right to buy, where sold off our housing stock to end up owned by a small group of people. The answer is simple; build, own and maintain coouncil hoouses.
